Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 896
The reason for Sebastian's silence.
Was exactly that, and nothing else.
He was terrified she would cling to him.
Raelynn couldn't quite describe the suffocating wave of despair washing over her. It felt like acid burning through her chest. She laughed, looking up into his faintly trembling eyes. "You don't need to worry. I will repay you. I owe you my life, and I'll clear that debt. It won't be the clingy entanglement you're so afraid of."
With that.
Raelynn turned, grabbing a stunned Chloe, and walked away.
Sebastian was desperate to sever all ties with her, so she naturally had to learn her place. Even knowing the truth, she would keep the transaction strictly business. It was what he wanted.
Raelynn's departure was absolute.
Sebastian instinctively raised his hand.
Her arm brushed past his fingertips.
He didn't catch her.
He didn't actually try to.
It was just a raw, involuntary reflex.
He didn't chase after her. He knew far too well that Raelynn was hurting because every action he took was designed to push her away. She wasn't the type to throw herself at someone who clearly didn't want her.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward, bewildered silence.
Cordelia fared no better.
She had just been publicly humiliated in front of half the city's elite.
When Ian finally arrived, he missed Raelynn, but found Sebastian and Cordelia still standing there.
He already knew about the land deal.
He had come to assess the wreckage.
The Hudsons were highly connected. Their political influence alone was staggering, and a family of their stature never played without an ace in the hole. Yet, despite having a guaranteed win, they had lost the bid.
Sebastian was truly ruthless. Even while burning, he made sure the Hudsons choked on the smoke.
Yet.
Sebastian offered a cold, indifferent smirk. "Stab the Croix family in the back all you want. I don't care. Do as you please. As for the land..."
His dark eyes turned lethal. "Ian, the Hudsons constantly used guilt to chain Raelynn down. Your feelings for her are no longer pure. You obsess over whether she stays or goes, over whether she loves you, and in doing so, you've conveniently forgotten what your mother did, and exactly what you owe Raelynn. Haven't you?"
Those words.
Made Ian's pupils constrict in pure ice.
"What do you know?"
"Mrs. Hudson, you and Lydia were old acquaintances over twenty years ago, weren't you?"
Sebastian's words made Cordelia's face drain of all color. Her head snapped up in sheer horror.
Ian's fists clenched. His dark eyes suddenly flared with terrifying clarity. "No wonder... You investigated. That's why you decided to make the Hudsons bleed."

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!...
