Mr Melendez,Your Wife Wants Divorce Long ago novel Chapter 227

**Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
*By J.S. Caldwell*
**Chapter 227**

The atmosphere between Julian and Arabella crackled with an intensity that seemed to suspend time itself. As their gazes intertwined, the world around them faded into an indistinct blur, leaving only the palpable energy of the moment. Julian’s fingers, both gentle and commanding, traced the delicate line between Arabella’s brows, a touch that was both soothing and authoritative, compelling her to confront the whirlwind of emotions swirling within her.

With a deliberate slowness, Julian raised his soup spoon again, savoring the warmth of the broth as he contemplated his next words. “If you can completely cure my insomnia,” he began, his voice a low rumble, steady and serious, “I might consider helping you secure that divorce you’ve been yearning for.”

Arabella’s heart quickened, a spark igniting deep within her chest. Hope flickered to life like a candle’s flame, illuminating the dark corners of her mind where despair had taken root. The thought of breaking free from Jayceon’s suffocating grasp felt like a fragile dream, one that had seemed impossibly far away, especially in the shadow of his formidable presence. With every interaction, every glance, she felt dwarfed by him—his family lineage, his social standing, his very essence seemed to overshadow her existence.

Yet, as she stood there, uncertainty mingling with a burgeoning resolve, Arabella felt a quiet confidence swell within her. The challenge of helping Julian with his insomnia was not just a task; it was a lifeline, an opportunity to reclaim her autonomy. She refused to let this chance slip through her fingers.

Later that night, in the softly lit guest room of Vance Manor, Arabella found herself gazing out at the moonlit garden, the ethereal glow casting shadows that danced along the walls. Clad in delicate lotus-pink satin pajamas that caressed her skin, she felt a stark contrast between the softness of her attire and the harsh reality of her life. The return of Jayceon, accompanied by Georgina—his long-lost love and the mother of his child—had left her feeling like a mere specter, haunting the hallways of her own existence, battered and bruised by the relentless tide of her marriage.

Memories of her tumultuous relationship with Jayceon surged through her mind, each one a reminder of the emotional scars that had accumulated over time. Yet, amid the chaos, a quiet strength began to take root within her. She realized that her connection with Julian could very well be the key to her liberation. “I can do this,” she murmured to herself, a mantra of determination. “I will fight for what I want.”

Meanwhile, in the lavish Melendez mansion, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Tabitha, her voice sharp with disbelief, confronted Jayceon. “Arabella’s daily visits to Vance Manor to treat Julian are a huge deal! Why on earth did you keep this from us?”

Jayceon, seated at the head of the table, felt the weight of scrutiny bearing down on him. His brow furrowed as he replied, frustration simmering just beneath the surface, “The feud between the Vance and Clemons families is well-known, but we, the Melendez family, have maintained our distance. Julian himself has personally agreed to Arabella treating him, so there’s no cause for alarm.”

His grandfather, a figure of authority and wisdom, interjected, “Perhaps it’s time to consider reconciliation. If Julian trusts Arabella, we could use this opportunity to mend the rift between our families.”

Jayceon shot up from his seat, disbelief and anger flashing across his face. “Grandfather, the animosity between the Vance and Clemons families runs deep. Arabella is not equipped to mediate this conflict.”

His grandfather’s gaze narrowed, his voice steady and unyielding. “How will we know if we don’t at least try?”

Jayceon shook his head vehemently, frustration boiling over. “If you couldn’t do it, Grandfather, what makes you think Arabella could succeed?”

Conrad, Jayceon’s father, chimed in, “From what we’ve heard, Julian is now confined to a wheelchair. If he had other options, he wouldn’t risk returning to let someone inexperienced treat him.”

“Arabella specializes in persistent insomnia,” Sir noted thoughtfully. “If Julian is unwilling to reconcile with the Clemons family, then perhaps her services are no longer needed.”
