Sebastian still refused to let go of her hand. "My heart tells me I cannot bear the consequences of losing you."
His gaze was deep, laying all his vulnerabilities out in the open, waiting for her pity.
Raelynn's chest tightened, and she hurriedly averted her eyes.
"You need to rest. Go to sleep."
She didn't say anything harsh; instead, her tone softened.
Sebastian saw that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Sensing the shift, he pushed his luck. "I want to sleep with you."
Finally, he asked softly, "Can I?"
"..." Raelynn seriously suspected he was a reincarnated fox.
She checked the time. It really was getting late. He was a patient now, one who needed to be soothed and cared for.
"Fine. Come on."
Raelynn didn't reject him again. Her patience had been completely worn down.
She turned and walked toward the bedroom.
Sebastian stood up to follow her, a faint smile touching his lips.
Then he reached out his hand toward her. "I can't see clearly."
Having no other choice, Raelynn stopped, turned around, and took his outstretched hand, leading him into the bedroom.
The bed was massive.
Raelynn led him to the edge of the bed. After he sat down, she pointed to the far side. "You sleep over there. Don't move around, don't bother me, and don't cross the line."
He took a look.
She was drawing an invisible boundary line between them.
"Okay," he replied easily, without arguing this time.
Raelynn figured he was just too weak to argue anymore. She walked around to the other side and got into bed. The past few days had taken a massive toll on her. Not only was her body exhausted, but her mind had been constantly on edge. She was dead tired.
However, that was just how she was.

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!...
