Mr Melendez, your wife wants divorce long ago novel

Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 45 Summary Samuel expressed his frustration toward Jayceon before seeking out Kimberly and Arabella, who had just come downstairs. Arabella tried to hide her pain with a fragile smile, but when Samuel gently acknowledged her distress, she broke down in tears. The three shared a close bond, having grown up intertwined through friendships and family ties, with Samuel feeling a protective responsibility over Arabella and Kimberly.

Samuel urged Arabella to consider divorce if she could no longer endure her situation with Jayceon, though Kimberly was conflicted, torn between supporting Arabella's freedom and loyalty to her brother. Arabella revealed that Jayceon had financially supported her family during their bankruptcy, and she felt indebted to him, needing to repay a large sum of money before she could divorce. This financial control explained Jayceon's refusal to let her go, using money as leverage to keep her bound.

Samuel was reluctant to lend Arabella the money, aware that doing so would anger Jayceon and strain their families' relationship. Arabella, however, reassured him that she was only joking about asking for the loan and wouldn't cause a rift between them. To lift their spirits, Samuel invited Arabella and Kimberly out for lunch, but both declined due to lack of appetite. Instead, they agreed to go out for fresh air to help clear their minds. That afternoon, Samuel took the two women to a busy shopping mall, offering to treat them.

While Kimberly went to pick up some sanitary products, Arabella quietly wandered nearby and unexpectedly spotted Jayceon, setting the stage for a tense encounter. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 45 Samuel shot Jayceon a look brimming with frustrated disappointment before turning away to find Kimberly and Arabella. By the time he reached them, Kimberly had finally coaxed Arabella downstairs. Arabella forced a faint, fragile smile when she saw Samuel, but it barely masked the pain in her eyes. Samuel gently ruffled her hair, his voice soft with sympathy. "You don't have to smile.

It almost looks like you're about to cry." And then the tears she had been holding back spilled over uncontrollably. Arabella and Kimberly had been friends since they were children, and Arabella had a longstanding engagement arrangement with Jayceon from those early years. Samuel and Jayceon had grown up as best friends, inseparable since childhood. In a way, the four of them had shared a childhood together. Samuel always saw Arabella and Kimberly as younger sisters he needed to protect, a role he took seriously. Arabella valued that protective presence deeply.

He had witnessed firsthand how she had fought to be by Jayceon's side. Now, the three of them sat close on the sofa, Arabella nestled between Samuel and Kimberly. Samuel had come with the intention to give Arabella some advice, but the sight of her worn, exhausted face made him feel sorry and deeply concerned. "Arabella, listen to me... If you can't handle this anymore, then get a divorce." Kimberly leaned back slightly, shooting Samuel a warning glance. She too believed Jayceon didn't deserve Arabella and secretly hoped Arabella could break free from this painful relationship.

But he was her brother, after all. Selfishly, Kimberly didn't want to see them divorced. Still, keeping all that pain bottled up inside was clearly unhealthy for Arabella. "Arabella, whatever you decide, I'm here for you. Even if you divorce Jay, my grandpa and my parents would never accept that woman and her child into our family." Arabella looked gratefully at Kimberly, then curled her legs up, wrapping her arms tightly around her knees. She couldn't shake Jayceon's words-they haunted her relentlessly. After a long pause, Arabella spoke quietly, "Sam, could you lend me 150 million dollars?

I'll get divorced, and then I'll work to pay you back in installments." Samuel's eyes widened in shock. "Why do you need 150 million dollars?" Kimberly was equally stunned. "Arabella, did Jayceon..." Arabella buried her face in her arms, her voice muffled. "When my family went bankrupt and owed huge debts, he helped pay off the external ones. All these years, he's been supporting my parents and my brother. I owe him." Kimberly's surprise deepened. She had assumed Jayceon had settled the accounts with Arabella and was demanding repayment.

If that were true, Jayceon would be utterly unforgivable. Samuel studied Arabella's face carefully, his eyes sharp and discerning. He wasn't as hopeful as Kimberly was. Tentatively, he said, "You married Jayceon. Helping your family pay off debts was something he should have done. Even if you get divorced, you shouldn't have to pay him back. After all, you've invested so much into this marriage." Arabella lowered her head, her expression empty and numb. "I have to repay it. Otherwise, I can't get divorced." In Chester's study, she had spoken plainly and without hesitation.

She had no more worries to hold onto. Samuel finally understood. No wonder Jayceon was so adamant they wouldn't divorce. He was using money as a weapon to keep Arabella under his control. Samuel had the funds but couldn't bring himself to lend her the money. It was clear now that Jayceon's refusal to divorce wasn't just stubbornness; money was the excuse. If Samuel helped Arabella, Jayceon would be furious, and it would definitely damage the relationship between their families. Samuel hesitated, torn. Arabella made the decision easier for him. "Sam, I was joking. I know Jayceon well.

I won't let you two fall out because of me. I'll find another way." To lighten the mood and offer some comfort, Samuel suggested, "Have you two eaten lunch? There's a new restaurant that just opened downtown. Let me take you there." Arabella shook her head, her appetite gone. "Kim, you and Sam go ahead. I'm not hungry." Since Arabella wasn't going, Kimberly refused to go as well. "I'm not hungry either." Samuel proposed, "How about we just go out for some fresh air? Staying inside won't help either of you feel better." Arabella considered it for a moment, then nodded.

She needed to get out, to clear her mind and shake off the chaos inside her head. After a quick wash, she changed into fresh clothes, slipped on a pair of flats, and stepped out with Kimberly and Samuel. That afternoon, Samuel took them to a bustling shopping mall downtown. "Pick anything you want. It's on me," he offered kindly. Arabella managed a small, grateful smile. The three of them rode the glass elevator up to the second floor. Samuel went off to buy water for the girls. Kimberly tugged Arabella toward the women's products aisle. "Wait here a second, Arabella.

I need to grab some pads." Arabella nodded quietly. As Kimberly browsed the shelves stocked with sanitary products, Arabella wandered over to a nearby row of shelves-and suddenly caught sight of Jayceon. Conclusion The chapter delicately captures the weight of Arabella's struggles, revealing the emotional toll that her entangled relationships and financial burdens have imposed on her. Samuel's protective nature and Kimberly's conflicted loyalties underscore the complexity of the bonds that tie the four friends together.

Despite the pain and frustration, there is a quiet strength in Arabella's resolve to find her own path, even if it means facing the daunting challenge of breaking free from Jayceon's control. In this moment of vulnerability, the shared history and deep connections among the characters shine through, highlighting themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the yearning for freedom. The gentle gestures of kindness and understanding from Samuel and Kimberly offer Arabella a glimmer of hope, reminding her-and the reader-that even in the darkest times, support and compassion can light the way forward.
