Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 85
Raelynn had just poured Arthur a glass of water when someone knocked on the door.
Confused, she walked over. "You got the food that fast?"
But as she pulled the door open, her expression froze. The faint smile on her face vanished instantly.
Sebastian lowered his gaze, his dark eyes locking onto her face. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
His voice was completely flat, devoid of emotion.
Raelynn's first instinct was to slam the door in his face, but from inside the room, Arthur called out, "Sunny, who is it?"
Her knuckles turned white on the door handle before she finally let go. She looked at Sebastian. He hadn't come empty-handed; he was holding several exquisitely wrapped gift bags.
Sebastian gave her a brief glance, then brushed past her and walked straight inside.
"Grandpa, it's me."
Approaching Arthur, a rare, genuine warmth entered Sebastian's eyes.
Arthur looked confused for a moment, but after staring at him, his face lit up. "Sebastian? Are you finished with work?"
Raelynn walked in just in time to see her grandfather's beaming face. She pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.
Sebastian offered a slight smile. "Your birthday is a priority for me. Work can wait."
Raelynn cast a sideways glance at him. She had to admit one thing: when Sebastian Croix actually wanted to make someone happy, nobody could resist his charm.
"This is from your favorite bakery, but it's sugar-free. We need you staying healthy," Sebastian said, placing one of the elegant boxes on the table.
"Good, good. Whatever you say." Arthur nodded affectionately, in wonderfully high spirits.
"And I also brought this. I know you've been missing Grandma's artwork, so I tracked down a few of her pieces for you. Would you like to see?"
Sebastian opened another long box.
Raelynn looked over, genuinely caught off guard.
Most of her grandmother's calligraphy and paintings had been sold off to various antique shops years ago. Even Raelynn had struggled to track them down.
Yet here was Sebastian, pulling out five pristine scrolls.
And regarding her slapping Shane... Seraphina and her family had absolutely thrown a fit over it. Given how fiercely Sebastian protected Seraphina, there was no way he wouldn't retaliate on their behalf.
Because of that, his sudden show of affection here felt less like a gift and more like a blade resting gently against her throat.
Suddenly, Raelynn remembered something, and a sharp pain shot through her temples.
She had been so blinded by rage dealing with Silas and Shane that she completely forgot to text Chloe about changing locations! If Chloe went to the hotel, didn't find them, asked Preston, and then brought Lily straight here...
A terrifying chill raced down her spine.
She immediately turned away to text Chloe.
Sebastian didn't miss the micro-expressions flashing across Raelynn's face. It looked like she was terrified of something—
"Sebastian, Sunny... you two have been married for years now. When are you going to have another child?"
Arthur's question dropped like a bomb, shattering the silence in the room.
"Another?" Sebastian looked sharply at Arthur.

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!...
