Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 81
In the past, Raelynn would never have treated Sebastian with such cold indifference.
Sebastian slowly looked away.
Leo shook his head. "Seb, you didn't marry a woman, you married a drama queen."
Sebastian lowered his gaze and flicked his lighter. He didn't answer. He just got straight into the car.

It was Arthur's 90th birthday, and Raelynn didn't want to make a huge spectacle of it. Their family was small, so her main goal was simply to create a warm, lively atmosphere to make her grandfather happy.
The guest list was barely enough to fill one large table. To make up for the small crowd, she planned to hire some performers to liven things up. The banquet hall she had booked was fairly spacious.
However, the night before, she received a call from the hotel manager.
"Ms. Ortiz, I am so incredibly sorry. We've had a sudden surge in bookings lately. I see you've only reserved a large table for twenty, but you've booked our premium banquet hall. We have another party with a much larger guest list, and we are completely out of other halls. Would you be willing to downsize to a smaller room? As an apology, the hotel will offer you a twelve percent discount on your bill."
Raelynn really didn't mind. A room was just a room.
She didn't make things difficult for him. "That's fine. Go ahead and make the switch."
The manager thanked her profusely.
The next morning, Raelynn woke up bright and early. She went to the private care facility to pick up her grandfather. In his youth, Arthur had been an elegant, highly educated man, and even in his old age, he maintained his dignity. Today, he was in surprisingly good spirits, having dressed himself in a sharp, tailored gray suit.
"Why didn't Sebastian come with you?" Arthur asked, gently warming Raelynn's cold hands in his own.
Raelynn checked the time. "He's swamped with work. He's going to meet us there a little later."
"Good, good. It's been too long since the whole family had a meal together."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Arthur smiled, looking vibrant and full of life. Seeing him like this, Raelynn felt that as long as she could keep her grandfather happy and help him live a few more years, she would do absolutely anything.
The guests today included Preston Moreno, Chloe Hudson, and a few of her grandfather's former students—just enough to fill one large table.
Sebastian had promised to show up, but he definitely wouldn't stay long. Once he left, Lily could come in and see her great-grandfather.
Chloe was completely baffled. "Why? What's going on?"
Raelynn sighed. "Sebastian is coming."
Chloe instantly went silent.
Finally, she muttered, "A day late and a dollar short, isn't he? Talk about useless."
Raelynn was at a total loss. Lily's sudden arrival threw a wrench in all her plans.
After getting Chloe sorted, Raelynn checked her watch, calculating when Sebastian was due to arrive. This was the first time Lily had ever set foot in Kingsford since she was born.
For some reason, Raelynn's palms were sweating. She couldn't tell if it was just nerves or an impending sense of crisis.
"Lynnie, we might have a problem," Preston said, walking over with a grim expression.

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!...
