Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 49
At the time, she honestly thought she had done something wrong to offend Sebastian's friends.
That was why she had asked.
She never expected Sebastian to react with such chilling indifference.
She was heartbroken for days after that.
But Sebastian was completely unaffected. He never even noticed her pain.
Or perhaps.
He had known all along, but... he just didn't care.
He couldn't be bothered to waste time comforting her.
In the end, she had to lie to herself, had to comfort herself. Having never experienced being loved or cared for growing up, she convinced herself that maybe needing "space" and occasional neglect was just how normal relationships worked.
She even told herself to stop being so sensitive.
Looking back on it now...
Raelynn closed the app.
Everyone goes through a pathetic phase of growth.
Some wake up early, some wake up late.
When someone doesn't love you, even giving them your whole heart is a mistake.
Stubbornly loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't romantic—it's just selfish, self-indulgent delusion.
"When Lily comes back, is she staying with you first? Or going back to Professor Finch's?" Chloe's question pulled Raelynn back to reality.
Raelynn thought about it while washing vegetables. "Maybe it's safer for her to stay with Professor Finch for now?"
After all, The Croix Family was unpredictable. It was better to be incredibly careful to avoid any accidents.
Chloe took a bite of a radish. "I can take her too. She's got the Hudson last name anyway. Even if he saw her, on paper, she's just a Hudson kid. He wouldn't get suspicious."
With the child legally registered under her cousin's name, even if someone looked into it, the truth wouldn't be easy to uncover.
Raelynn agreed that was a good plan.
Thank God she had a backup plan.
If Lily had the last name Ortiz, it would be no different than handing herself over.
And she certainly wasn't going to let her have the Vance last name.
Raelynn set a bowl of noodles on the table. "You're already so busy. Don't worry, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. But... your cousin is single. He did me a massive favor, and I should figure out how to resolve this eventually. I don't want his future elite fiancée throwing a fit because he's technically a single dad with a 'daughter.'"
Ian had listened to Chloe's frantic, pleading explanation in record time.
Then he looked straight at Raelynn, who was still confined to the bed, and asked one simple question: "I'll step in as the father. Do you agree?"

Ian Hudson was an incredibly busy man.
He was constantly flying all over the world.
The Hudsons and the Croixs were the twin titans of the industry—one ruling the South, the other the North.
Both were aristocratic families with centuries of deep-rooted wealth and power.
Unlike Chloe, who was a somewhat neglected daughter of a branch family, Ian was the true, undisputed heir.
His marriage would undoubtedly be carefully calculated, and his future wife would be handpicked from the most elite families.
But the fact that Lily was registered under his name was still a closely guarded secret. Not even the Hudson family knew.
Chloe was really out of her mind for even suggesting it.
That was the kind of joke you could only make in private. If she ever said that back at the Hudson estate, she'd be severely punished.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
