**Chapter 251**

Arabella’s voice cut through the air like a knife, sharp and unyielding. “Jayceon, just the sight of you is enough to ruin my entire day. I can’t stand the thought of being with you. When I look at you, I feel trapped, miserable, and utterly unhappy. Do you really need me to spell it out so plainly?”

Their eyes locked in a fierce standoff, and Jayceon instinctively took a step back, as if her words had struck him physically. The weight of her declaration hung heavily between them, and he felt the ground shift beneath his feet.

“I realize now that I made a mistake by keeping things from you last night,” he admitted, his voice low and tinged with regret. “What if I just stay at the office for a few days? I won’t come home at all, alright?”

Arabella’s response was immediate and resolute. “No!” she exclaimed, her voice firm, as she zipped up her suitcase with a determined flick of her wrist.

In a moment of desperation, Jayceon reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart racing. “Arabella, please, if you doubt me, I can swear to you…” His words poured out in a rush, fueled by a mix of fear and longing. “Since Georgina returned with her child, I’ve cared for her and protected her, but I promise you, I haven’t crossed any lines. I haven’t betrayed you. Just believe me this one time!”

Arabella felt the warmth of his body against hers, but it only intensified her confusion. Deep down, she recognized that if she allowed herself to become further entangled with Jayceon, escaping would become an impossibility.

Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, she inhaled deeply, steadying herself. In the softest tone she could muster, she replied, “But seeing is believing. I need some space to cool off. Let me go for a few days. When I’ve had time to think, you can come to Vance Manor and pick me up.”

Jayceon hesitated, loosening his grip on her just enough to meet her gaze. “Really?” he asked, searching her eyes for any sign of hope.

Arabella raised her hand, displaying five fingers. “Just five days. I need to sort through my feelings. In five days, you come to Vance Manor to get me. I promise I’ll return with you.”

In the realm of negotiation, there exists a concept known as the Pandora effect—a form of reverse psychology that suggests the more one tries to restrict something, the more desirable it becomes. As Jayceon attempted to dissuade her from leaving, Arabella’s resolve only strengthened, her determination to break free becoming more pronounced.

She realized that the only way to find some semblance of peace was to meet Jayceon halfway; the crucial first step was to create distance.

After a moment of silence, Jayceon spoke tentatively, “Taking a break for three to five days isn’t out of the question, but my aunt and her family are returning from abroad tomorrow. Mom and Dad are expecting you to come back to the mansion with me.”

Arabella dismissed his suggestion without a moment’s hesitation. “Jayceon, you know your grandfather and I have terrible horoscope compatibility. If I attend that family dinner, it might as well turn into a funeral feast. Trust me, my absence is for your own good.”

With that, she pivoted on her heel, ready to leave, but Jayceon’s hand shot out, catching her wrist gently but firmly.

After a long pause filled with uncertainty, he finally said, “I’ll take you to Vance Manor.”

And so it was that, in an effort to ease the tension that had built up between them, Jayceon decided to personally escort Arabella to her uncle’s home.
