The answer

If the husband did not intend divorce, or was hesitant, then his divorce does not take effect due to the statement not being explicit and requiring intention. However, if he intended it and meant it, then the divorce takes effect if the wife does not do what the divorce was conditioned upon, even if she did not hear him, because what matters is what was issued by the husband.
