**Title: Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
**By J.S. Caldwell**
**Chapter 66**
As the memories flooded back, Arabella felt a pang of nostalgia. “I didn’t have anything to give your child,” she began, her voice soft yet resolute. “So, I cleared out the piano room on the second floor. I had a designer come in to craft a beautiful children’s room. Just consider it a gift for the little one.”
Georgina’s face lit up with excitement as she swiftly pulled her son closer to Arabella. “Leo Palmer, come here! Quick, thank Aunt Arabella!”
The boy, with his innocent demeanor and bright eyes, looked up at Arabella and chirped, “Thank you, Aunt Arabella!” His voice was pure and sweet, a melody that tugged at Arabella’s heartstrings.
With a gentle pat on Leo’s head, Arabella felt a rush of envy wash over her. “What a precious child,” she murmured, her heart aching. “No wonder you would go to any lengths to protect him.”
Georgina’s gaze faltered, her eyes darting away as if searching for an escape. She ushered Leo away with a sense of urgency. “Miss Collins Palmer,” she began, her tone laced with regret, “this is entirely my fault. Jay and I have wronged you. Lately, Jay has been in so much turmoil, struggling with everything because of my son and me. I truly didn’t know how to support him. Thank you for stepping aside and giving us this chance.”
Arabella shook her head slowly, her thoughts swirling. There was no clear right or wrong in this tangled web of emotions. Only love— or the stark absence of it.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t fought for Jayceon or tried to win his heart back. No, it was the overwhelming realization that everything around her whispered that Jayceon didn’t love her anymore, that he was no longer hers to hold.
Turning to Georgina, Arabella said, “I’ve arranged for a rush job on the renovations. The company will be here tomorrow morning. You need to finalize the design plan quickly. You and Jay should move in before he returns from his business trip.”
Georgina blinked in disbelief, her voice trembling with uncertainty. “Miss Palmer, are you really sure about this?”
Arabella lifted her left hand, staring blankly at the wedding ring that had adorned her finger for three long years. It had never left her hand, a constant reminder of promises made and dreams shared. She recalled the tears she shed when Jayceon had slipped it onto her finger, his words echoing in her mind: “If you like it, wear it. Don’t take it off.” She had vowed, through tears, that she would never remove it unless death claimed her.
Now, reflecting on her past self, she couldn’t help but feel a mix of ignorance and absurdity at her unwavering devotion.
Georgina’s gaze was fixed on the diamond ring, a glint of envy in her eyes. If it hadn’t been for those three meddling old men from the Melendez family six years ago, that ring would have belonged to her. Jayceon’s wife, the mistress of the Melendez family, should have been Georgina, and no one else.
Noticing that Arabella was still in contemplation, Georgina took a cautious step forward, her voice tentative. “Ms. Palmer, since Jay doesn’t love you anymore, that wedding ring must hold no meaning for you. Would you consider giving it back to me as well?”
Arabella looked up, catching the glimmer of excitement in Georgina’s eyes. Without a flicker of emotion, she removed the wedding ring from her finger and placed it directly onto Georgina’s, sealing a chapter of her life with a single, deliberate act.
