Mr Melendez, your wife wants divorce long ago novel

Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 36 Summary Arabella grows frustrated and jealous when Jayceon is late and absent from the company on a Thursday evening. Her attention is caught by a bracelet on her wrist-the same one auctioned at a charity event recently. Before she can remove it, Jayceon embraces her from behind and reveals that he bought the bracelet for her the night she threatened to end her life, disproving her assumption that he was with Georgina and their son. Their intimate moment is interrupted by the harsh reality of their strained marriage.

Arabella pushes Jayceon away, reminded that he has reunited with his first love and their child. They move to the bathroom, where the stark differences in their daily lives are symbolized by mismatched toothbrushes, cups, and slippers-signs of their fractured relationship. Jayceon announces he won't be going to the company and plans to accompany Arabella to the supermarket, but she remains cold and distant. When she tries to leave, he stops her, questioning if they still seem like a couple. Arabella accuses him of wanting a marriage in name only, while maintaining a secret lover elsewhere.

Jayceon's phone buzzes, but he ignores it, and Arabella bitterly vows never to look at his phone again. In a tender yet tense exchange, Jayceon pleads for them to stop living in this painful way, insisting he has not cheated on her and that he would have left if he had. Arabella accuses him of staying out of fear of scandal, but Jayceon insists he would never be caught unprepared if he were unfaithful. Despite his promise to save their marriage, Arabella quietly admits she cannot trust him, leaving their relationship hanging in uncertainty.

Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 36 Arabella jerked away with a look of disgust etched across her face, quickly reaching for her phone to check the time. It was already past eight in the evening. A Thursday night, yet Jayceon was nowhere near the company. She sighed, thinking, *He must have stayed late last night, taking care of Georgina.* The thought sent a pang of jealousy through her chest. Just as she was about to set her phone down, her eyes caught something on her left wrist-a bracelet. Recognition hit her instantly.

It was the very same piece that had been auctioned off at the charity event the previous week. For a brief moment, she froze, her fingers instinctively moving to unclasp it. But before she could, strong arms wrapped around her from behind, halting her motion. Arabella struggled, trying to break free, but Jayceon's grip only tightened, holding her firmly against his chest. The thin fabric of their pajamas did little to separate their warmth, and she could feel the steady beat of his heart against her back. He took her hand in his, his gaze locked on the bracelet shimmering on her wrist.

His voice was low and husky, thick with the lazy drawl of someone just roused from sleep. "The night you threatened to end your life with me, I went to that auction to bid on this. It's one of a kind-unique in the whole world." Arabella tilted her head slightly, turning to face him. A sudden realization dawned on her: he hadn't been with Georgina and their son that night at all. Instead, he had been out, buying this bracelet for her. Their eyes met, so close they could feel each other's breath mingling in the quiet room. Jayceon leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of her mouth.

Startled, Arabella snapped back to reality and pushed him away immediately. Despite the tenderness of the moment, the truth remained unchanged-he had reunited with his first love, and they had a child together. Without another word, Arabella slipped into the bathroom to freshen up, and Jayceon followed silently behind her. At the double sink, the stark differences in their lives were glaringly obvious. Her toothbrush was pristine white, while his was a dull green.

Her mouthwash cup was a disposable plastic one, whereas his was a sturdy ceramic mug-clearly the same one he used for coffee in his study. There were no matching towels embroidered with their initials, only neat stacks of disposable facial cleansing tissues. Jayceon's gaze dropped to their feet. He wore plain, spare guest slippers, while Arabella's were bright yellow with cartoon patterns-ones she had bought for herself. They stared at their reflections in the mirror, two mismatched pieces forced to co-exist.

Since the day Arabella had thrown out all their matching belongings, their marriage had become a patchwork of differences: white and green toothbrushes, a coffee mug and a disposable cup, gray guest slippers and childish cartoon ones. Like these items, their life together was a series of mismatched fragments, never quite fitting, just making do. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Jayceon pulled out a cleansing tissue and handed it to Arabella. "I'm not going to the company today.

Later, I'll go to the supermarket with you to pick up some essentials." Arabella took the tissue without looking at him and turned toward the door. "I don't need anything. Just buy what you're running low on." She had barely taken two steps when Jayceon's hand shot out, gripping her waist firmly. Before she could react, he spun her around, lifted her effortlessly, and sat her down on the edge of the sink. He parted her legs slightly, pressing his body close to hers to keep her from slipping away. His eyes burned with intensity as he searched her face.

"Arabella," he said softly but with a sharp edge, "look at us right now. Do we even seem like a couple anymore?" Arabella met his fiery gaze without flinching. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted? A wife in name only at home, and a lover with a child somewhere else?" At that moment, Jayceon's phone, left on the sink, buzzed quietly. He glanced at the screen, then flipped it face down and set it aside. Arabella let out a bitter laugh. "Don't worry.

I'll never look at your phone again-not for the rest of my life." Jayceon studied the numbness in her expression, then gently pulled her into his arms. "Arabella, can we stop living like this?" he pleaded quietly. She closed her eyes, trying to hide the pain that threatened to spill over. "Jayceon, we should never have ended up like this." If only she hadn't loved him so blindly, nor been so stubborn about marrying him, maybe she wouldn't be drowning in this sea of hurt now. Jayceon loosened his hold just a fraction and brushed his thumb softly over her cheek.

When Arabella opened her eyes, their gazes locked once more. "If I had truly cheated on you," Jayceon said earnestly, "I would have let you go. I'm not here to make excuses because I didn't do it." Arabella cut him off sharply. "The only reason you haven't left is because you're afraid I'll cause a scene and ruin your reputation." Jayceon pressed his forehead to hers. "If I were going to cheat, I'd have the sense to clean up the mess afterward. No matter what, I'd never let myself be caught off guard. You know that about me." Arabella looked down, the truth of his words sinking in.

He pulled back slightly, gazing down at her with a softness that contrasted the tension between them. "Just trust me. I promise, our marriage won't fall apart." For a long moment, Arabella remained silent before finally whispering, "Jayceon, you don't deserve my trust." Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, capturing the fragile and fractured state of Arabella and Jayceon's relationship. Their physical closeness contrasts sharply with the emotional distance that has grown between them, symbolized by the mismatched everyday items that fill their shared space.
