Mr Melendez, your wife wants divorce long ago novel

Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 37 Summary In this tense chapter, Arabella tries to push Jayceon away, but he forcefully kisses her, revealing a complex mix of passion and frustration between them. Despite her resistance, the kiss is intense and possessive, highlighting the unresolved emotions and tension in their relationship. Arabella bites Jayceon's lip in a moment of panic, causing him to release her, and he gently brushes away her tears before quietly asking how long it has been since they last made love.

Arabella responds bitterly, hinting at Jayceon's involvement with another woman, Georgina, which deepens the emotional conflict. Jayceon leaves to shower, and Arabella, feeling isolated and neglected, orders takeout for herself, a stark contrast to their usual dynamic where she tries hard to please him with homemade meals. She reflects on the changes in their marriage since Georgina and her child returned, noting Jayceon's absence and coldness. Their once fiery physical relationship has cooled to icy silence and arguments, and Arabella suspects Georgina is fulfilling his needs elsewhere.

When Jayceon returns, he abruptly informs her that his mother wants them to visit the Melendez mansion that night. At the Melendez estate, the atmosphere is charged with hostility. Arabella notices the tension between Jayceon and his family, especially Chester, who had a hand in breaking up Jayceon and Georgina years ago. This past interference has left deep scars, with Georgina's child branded illegitimate and Jayceon trapped in a loveless marriage with Arabella for the sake of family reputation.

The family's disdain for Arabella is clear, as they belittle her for working a low-level hospital job, seeing her as nothing more than a decorative figure rather than a valued member of the family. Jayceon firmly defends Arabella against his father's insults, insisting she keep her job and demanding the family stay out of his marriage. This confrontation exposes the deep divisions and power struggles within the Melendez family, as well as the ongoing battle over Arabella's place in Jayceon's life.

The chapter ends with Chester's fury boiling over, threatening to escalate the conflict further, leaving Arabella caught in the middle of a hostile family environment. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 37 The atmosphere suddenly grew suffocating, thick with an unspoken tension. Arabella struggled to push Jayceon away. "If you have nothing more to say, please put me down," she demanded, her voice trembling slightly. But Jayceon's hand closed firmly around her chin, tilting her face toward his. Before she could protest, his lips crashed onto hers in a fierce, possessive kiss.

Arabella gripped his collar and shoulders, writhing desperately, but his broad, muscular frame pinned her tightly against him. His kiss was intense, almost desperate, as if trying to claim something long denied. When they finally broke apart, both were gasping for air. Jayceon's breath came in heavy, uneven bursts. Panic surged through Arabella as she realized the unmistakable hardness pressing against her. Without thinking, she bit down hard on his lower lip. A sharp metallic tang of blood filled the space between them. Slowly, Jayceon released her, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

With a gentleness that contrasted the previous intensity, he brushed away the tears gathering at the corners of her eyes. "Arabella, how long has it been since we last made love?" he asked quietly. Her eyes locked onto the blood smudge on his lip. "Can't Georgina satisfy you?" she shot back, bitterness lacing her words. Though the hunger still flickered in Jayceon's gaze, he restrained himself. Carefully, he helped her adjust the straps of her pajamas before lifting her off the sink. "I'm going to shower," he said softly, then turned and disappeared into the bathroom.

Arabella ordered takeout, changed into fresh clothes, and headed downstairs. In the three years they had been married, Jayceon's physical desire had always been fierce and unrelenting. After business trips or once her period ended, he would pursue her relentlessly, until she was left tearful and begging for respite. But since Georgina and her child had returned, Jayceon hadn't come home in over a month. And when he did, their interactions were cold, punctuated by arguments or icy silences. Arabella knew better than anyone how deeply he craved intimacy.

Yet for more than two months now, he had not shared a bed with her. She suspected Georgina must have been fulfilling his needs elsewhere. The takeout arrived, and Arabella sat alone in the quiet dining room, eating breakfast in solitude. Jayceon entered, fully dressed, his eyes immediately falling on the takeout box before her. "Mom called," he said abruptly. "She wants us to go back to the Melendez mansion tonight." Arabella had never been skilled in the kitchen. Still, over the past three years, she had learned to prepare simple meals.

Each time she finished cooking, she would rush to present the food to him, eager for his approval. She would coax and plead just to get him to take a single bite. But this time was different: both of them were home, yet she had ordered takeout only for herself. While Jayceon was upstairs taking a phone call, Arabella quietly slipped out to visit her parents. That evening, Jayceon arrived to pick her up for the visit to the Melendez mansion, carrying armfuls of nutritional supplements for her parents. Arabella climbed into the car, closed her eyes, and remained silent throughout the journey.

Jayceon didn't attempt to start a conversation either. His attention was glued to his phone screen, fingers tapping as if engaged in a WhatsApp chat. When they arrived at the grand Melendez estate, Arabella followed Jayceon wordlessly into the living room. Chester, Jayceon's parents, and Kimberly were already there. Kimberly spotted Arabella and hurried over to whisper, "Grandpa's in a foul mood. Be careful." Arabella caught Jayceon's low snort and glanced up at him. His jaw was clenched tight, eyes sharp and hostile as they fixed on Chester, as if they were adversaries on a battlefield.

She quickly averted her gaze. Years ago, Chester had intervened to break up Jayceon and Georgina, tearing them apart. That was why Georgina had disappeared for six years, and why she had borne Jayceon's son out of wedlock. Now, Jayceon cared deeply about his reputation and the family's legacy, so divorcing Arabella was not an option-at least, not yet. But that meant the woman he truly loved remained a "mistress," and their child was branded illegitimate. His hatred for Chester stemmed from this bitter truth.

Conrad suddenly snapped, "You're a Melendez family member, yet you work as a low-level assistant in a hospital? What do you think outsiders will say about us?" Arabella was pulled back into reality. She was about to respond when Jayceon took her hand and spoke firmly, "Dad, I told Arabella to take that job. If you have a problem, take it up with me." Chester slammed his cane on the floor with a heavy thud. "Quit immediately. If you want a job, you'll work at Melendez Group." Jayceon stood his ground. "Arabella studied medicine.

What could she possibly do at Melendez Group?" Chester's tone sharpened. "She won't do anything. She'll just be a pretty ornament!" Arabella's lips curled into a bitter smile inside. So Jayceon wasn't the only one who saw her as nothing more than decoration. Even the Melendez elders regarded her, a "fallen noble's daughter," as little more than a trinket. Jayceon remained resolute in the living room. "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, please stay out of my marriage." Chester's face flushed crimson with fury.

"Bring the whip." Conclusion The chapter closes on a note heavy with unspoken pain and simmering resentment, capturing the complex emotional landscape between Arabella and Jayceon. Their relationship is fraught with desire and distance, passion and restraint, as they navigate the harsh judgments of family and society. Despite the tension and bitterness, there remains a fragile thread of connection, a yearning for understanding that neither fully acknowledges but both feel deeply.

When she's not writing, she finds peace nurturing her garden.
