Chapter 111 Jayceon placed the birthday cake outside the door . He closed the door behind him and came in , his tone conciliatory as he said to Arabella , " I got rid of the cake . Can we sit and talk for a minute ? " Arabella turned her head away , her expression blank . " There's nothing to talk about . Get out ! " Jayceon stared blankly at Arabella , his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions . He reached out to tuck her hair back , but Arabella pushed his hand away in disgust . Jayceon grabbed Arabella's arm and forcefully pulled her into his arms .
Ignoring Arabella's struggles , Jayceon held her tight . Feeling how thin she had become , an undeniable ache filled Jayceon's eyes . His low , hoarse voice was impossibly gentle . He said , " Arabella , everyone has a past . Georgina is just my past , and so is the child . You don't have to keep fixating on it ," Unable to break free , Arabella opened her mouth and bit down on Jayceon's shoulder . Jayceon winced as pain shot through his shoulder , loosening his grip slightly but not letting Arabella go completely .
Arabella gripped the lapel of Jayceon's suit , her knuckles turning white from the force . Suppressing the turmoil inside her , she said to Jayceon , " Betraying me by cheating with that mother and son - that's the present . Promising to take care of them for the rest of your life -that's the future . It's not me who's fixated on your past . It's you who has let Georgina and her son run through your past , your present , and now your future ! " They stared at each other , the atmosphere so oppressive it was suffocating .

Jayceon tried to explain , " Taking care of Georgina and her son doesn't mean I'm giving up on our marriage , or on you. " Jayceon : " I know I haven't handled things well since Georgina came back , but it's not what you think between us . " Arabella looked into Jayceon's eyes , her expression numb . She said , " Jayceon , you said it yourself . The person you want to marry is Georgina . You don't love me . Since you don't love me , just let me go ! " Jayceon's expression darkened . He asked Arabella , " Is love really that important to you ?
" Arabella found Jayceon's words utterly ridiculous . She looked at Jayceon with sarcasm in her eyes . She said , " Jayceon , you waited for Georgina for so many years with such deep devotion . You know better than I do how important she is ! " Jayceon let go of Arabella and irritably tugged at the collar of his shirt . He said , " Gina and I met again by chance . I wasn't deliberately waiting for her . " The reason he had agreed to make Georgina a blueberry cake by hand and post it on Instagram was to fulfill her birthday wish from six years ago .
On one hand , reuniting with Georgina after so long did stir something in him . On the other hand , Georgina was ill and also had depression , so he was also trying to soothe her emotions . That small emotional stir wasn't enough to make him lose his mind and make the wrong decision . The Instagram post he agreed to make for Georgina was only up for sixty seconds before he deleted it . But he never would have thought . In just those sixty seconds , his sister Kimberly saw it , took a screenshot , and sent it to Arabella right away .
He acknowledged the child to prevent his grandfather from harming Georgina and her child again , just like six years ago. He had promised Georgina not to reveal the child's parentage . But Arabella couldn't accept Georgina , and she certainly couldn't accept the existence of this child . The situation between him and Arabella now . One of them had to give in . If the stalemate continued , they would both end up hurt . Their eyes met , and a sarcastic smile touched the corner of Arabella's mouth . What a " chance reunion . " Said with such confidence .
Jayceon quietly moved closer to Arabella . He gripped Arabella's shoulders , not letting her pull away . He said , " Arabella , those vague , ethereal feelings are just empty promises if they can't be realized . In the end , every relationship comes down to money and benefits . If I say I love you , can you eat that ? " He said , " Compared to those empty words , don't jewelry , money , and status give you more security? " He said , " Arabella , I give you a life free of worries , I give you the unshakeable status of Mrs. Melendez . Isn't that enough to prove my sincerity in this marriage ?
" But Arabella's thoughts were the complete opposite of Jayceon's . She looked into Jayceon's eyes and said , " Jayceon , what I want is to be your favorite . It's the respect of you telling me everything without me having to ask . It's the attitude of your changing what I don't like on your own . It's the devotion of having every action answered and every matter resolved . It's having eyes only for me . That's security . That's sincerity . " admin
