Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 490

Raelynn was clearly a difficult woman to deal with.

From start to finish, she hadn't shown an ounce of guilt or remorse for hiding the fact that she had a child, nor had she offered a single proper explanation.

It was as if she wanted to fan the flames higher.

Her attitude of silent admission was incredibly glaring.

Even her offer to apologize sounded completely insincere.

Sebastian kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, never glancing her way again. He stared into the dark, rainy night, his profile half-obscured by the shadows. The sharp angles of his nose and jawline looked utterly cold and devoid of any warmth, making him seem entirely unapproachable.

He didn't reply to her words.

Silence killed the conversation once more.

What finally allowed Raelynn to breathe a sigh of relief was the ringing of Sebastian's phone sitting on the center console.

The brightly lit screen was impossible to ignore in the dark cabin.

She easily saw that it was a voice call from Seraphina on iMessage.

Complete with that glaringly affectionate nickname.

The moment her gaze landed on the screen, Sebastian reached out and picked up the phone.

He pulled out his earpiece and slipped it in.

He had no intention of ignoring his beloved's call just because Raelynn was in the car.

His voice echoed in the quiet space. "Yeah, I'm out of the city."

Raelynn simply tried to shrink her presence and stared out the window.

But the disjointed rhythm of their conversation kept drifting into her ears.

She didn't want to notice, but she was forced to confront the truth.

Sebastian was undeniably much more patient with Seraphina. Even for the most trivial questions, he provided steady answers.

His deep voice continued to rumble nearby. "Mm-hmm."

"That works."

"See you then."

And so on.

He showed no rush to hang up.

It was a stark contrast to how he treated her.

A humorless smile tugged at the corner of Raelynn's lips. The depth of a relationship couldn't be measured by the length of time spent together. When a man truly loved a woman, his investment of time, energy, and money provided all the obvious answers.

She desperately wanted to block out the couple's sickeningly sweet conversation.

Hearing those words, she gave a dry smirk.

Now, she felt like the shady mistress sneaking around in the dark.

The drive back to the city was already long, and their phone call didn't drag on forever.

But Raelynn noticed that Sebastian wasn't driving fast. Yes, it was raining, but at this pace, a two-hour drive was easily going to turn into three.

Suppressing her irritation, she asked, "Can you drive a little faster?"

Sebastian's tone remained flat. "Pick one: fast or safe."

He shot her a sideways look. "Aren't you worried your daughter might lose her mother in a car crash at such a young age?"

Raelynn knew his tongue had always been venomous, so she didn't bother arguing.

She gritted her teeth, forcefully enduring the agonizing three-hour ride.

It was a rare stretch of uninterrupted alone time for the two of them.

By the time they pulled into her neighborhood, the rain had stopped, and it was nearly midnight.

The moment the car parked.

Raelynn immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out, intending to say a quick thank you. But just as she turned around—
