Chapter 35
Jayceon had drawn a firm boundary with Georgina—whether emotionally or physically, he made it clear there was a line he would never cross. Despite his kindness toward her and their shared past, he was resolute: he would never share a bed with Georgina.
Samuel clicked his tongue with a hint of disbelief. “I heard from Kim that you didn’t even flinch when Arabella threatened to take her own life. And yet, you have the nerve to say you’re over Georgina?”
Jayceon rubbed his temples, irritation flickering across his face. Kimberly’s habit of spreading gossip was relentless; it seemed like she told everyone everything she heard.
Samuel pressed on, “You keep saying Arabella is stubborn and willful, but have you noticed? She’s not that proud, arrogant Ms. Palmer anymore.”
Jayceon fell silent, unable to deny the truth. Arabella had indeed changed since their marriage. She was more affectionate, more gentle—a stark contrast to the woman he had known. Still, he refused to believe she had completely shed the stubborn pride that was part of her very nature.
When Jayceon returned to the hospital ward, he found Camila feeding Georgina her meal. He pulled out his phone and told Camila to check her balance, confirming her monthly salary had been settled. Then, with a flat tone, he said, “Starting tomorrow, you don’t need to serve Georgina anymore.”
Camila froze, standing awkwardly by the bedside, confusion and anxiety written all over her face. “Mr. Melendez, Ms. Carrillo, please tell me what I did wrong. I’ll fix it—I promise.”
Jayceon lowered his gaze, carefully hiding his emotions. “You’re not suitable for this job. Pack your things and leave.”
Camila glanced toward Georgina, silently pleading for support, but Georgina kept her head bowed, unwilling to speak up. After all, Jayceon was the one paying her salary. If he decided to fire Camila, there was no way Georgina could interfere.
In truth, Georgina had been completely satisfied with Camila’s care. Just the day before, she had mentioned to Jayceon that Camila was doing well, and he had even promised to give her a raise next month. The sudden dismissal puzzled Georgina deeply.
Then a thought struck her—Kimberly. That evening, Kimberly had come to her place, stirring trouble, and Camila had spoken out in Georgina’s defense. Georgina suspected Kimberly must have complained to Jayceon, which led to Camila’s dismissal.
She hadn’t expected Jayceon to be so fiercely protective of his family. Reflecting on this, Georgina realized she needed to find a way to get along with Kimberly from now on.
Georgina was too perceptive to question Jayceon directly, and he offered no further explanation.
After Camila left, a heavy silence settled over the room. Noticing Jayceon’s distracted demeanor, Georgina tentatively asked, “Jay, your wife already had that huge fight with you, and she told her colleagues that we’re husband and wife. Don’t you want me to apologize to her?”
Jayceon’s voice was calm but firm. “No.”
