**Chapter 51**

In a moment of frustration, Samuel exclaimed, “She won’t accept your money, but she’s more than willing to take your support. She insists she doesn’t want to interfere with your relationship with Arabella, yet she clings stubbornly to the situation. It’s clear that Georgina is doing this on purpose!”

Jayceon, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders, lowered his gaze to the floor. The fatigue etched on his face was unmistakable. “You have to understand,” he replied wearily, “she’s endured so much pain over the years. The thought of my grandpa terrifies her. I can empathize with her struggles.”

Samuel’s anger flared. “So, what are you saying? Are you seriously considering divorcing Arabella?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jayceon responded, “Absolutely not.”

Deep down, he understood that his current behavior was far from acceptable in Arabella’s eyes. The heat of the moment had led her to demand a divorce, and while he could see her anger, he believed that with time, she would come to terms with the situation.

Arabella could stay at her parents’ house for a little while, allowing herself the space to cool down and process everything. After all, she had loved him for over two decades and had been his wife for three years. The thought of leaving him was unfathomable.

Their marriage, though not without its challenges, had been filled with good moments. He couldn’t let her walk away so easily.

The next morning dawned, and Arabella began her day at work as she always did. Yet, her emotional state had been a tempest lately, and the stress had taken a toll on her physical appearance; she had lost a troubling amount of weight. Even with makeup carefully applied, her face bore the signs of weariness.

After assisting Harrison with a patient’s consultation, Arabella found herself bumping into Zachary once again as she made her way to the physical therapy room. The Hamilton family’s network of private hospitals spanned the globe, and although Zachary was not a doctor at this particular facility, he frequently visited for expert consultations on challenging cases. Arabella had grown accustomed to seeing him often.

Zachary’s keen eyes immediately caught the signs of exhaustion etched on her face. “Is the workload as Dr. Dunlap’s assistant becoming a bit overwhelming for you?” he inquired, genuine concern lacing his tone.

Arabella offered him a polite smile, but it faltered as she hesitated, unsure how to voice her thoughts. “Zachary, you have extensive connections. Do you happen to know anyone at an auction house?”

He adjusted his glasses with a thoughtful gesture. “Are you looking to buy or sell?”

“I have a jewelry set,” she explained, her voice steadying. “I want to find a reputable auction house for an appraisal. If the price is right, I’d like to sell it.”

Zachary’s face brightened with understanding. “I know a jewelry appraisal expert over at Kensington Auction House. I’m meeting him after work. Why don’t you join me? I can introduce you.”

A wave of excitement washed over Arabella, and her cheeks flushed with gratitude. “Thank you, Zachary. I’ll see you after work!”

“Jay,” she said, her voice laced with guilt, “maybe I should go talk to your wife. We’re both women; perhaps she would listen to me.”

Jayceon finally shifted his gaze to Georgina, his expression softening slightly. “There’s no need for that. You don’t know her like I do.”

He spoke with a finality that made it clear he would not entertain her suggestion. Georgina, sensing his resolve, didn’t press the issue further.

With a hint of grievance in her tone, she continued, “I’m sorry, Jay. All I want is to forget the past and start anew. If it were just about me, I would never have come back to disrupt your life. But as a mother, my child is innocent in all of this. You understand, don’t you?”

Looking at Georgina’s pitiful and helpless demeanor, Jayceon’s heart softened. “Gina, I know it hasn’t been easy for you and your son. You’ve sacrificed so much for me and endured a great deal of pain. You are innocent in this, but so is my wife. Your struggles didn’t stem from her; it’s the choices we made that have hurt her.”

Georgina nodded vigorously, tears welling in her eyes. “Jay, I get it. I truly do. You’ve done so much for me and my son.”

Jayceon reminded her firmly, “You don’t need to feel sorry. This is what I owe you. But let me be clear: without my permission, do not approach my wife.”

Georgina nodded repeatedly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Jay, don’t worry. I’ll do as you wish.”
