Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go Chapter 61
This time, Aria didn't even call Susan "Mom."The Spencers' actions showed no regard for Aria, not an ounce of respect. If there had been any respect, they wouldn't have contacted reporters without consulting her first, luring her to the Spencer house only to inform her afterward.The Spencer family had always been this way.When Larry and Lucy were caught being intimate in the car, they immediately pressured her to get a tattoo and clear things up.The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Marcus and Susan exchanged glances, both realizing this wouldn't be easy.If Aria refused to cooperate, all their preparations would be wasted.Larry sat at the dining table, occasionally checking his phone. Oblivious to the tension, he stood up and casually said, "I'm going out for a bit. I'll be right back."Marcus's eyelid twitched.Aria was still here, yet Larry was running off. What kind of behavior was this?"Larry!""Dad, I'll be back soon!"Larry left without looking back. Even the o

Susan spoke these words against her better judgment.Marcus ate in silence, as if this were purely a matter between Susan and Aria, nothing to do with him. Yet his sidelong glances at Aria made it obvious that he valued her too.Aria lowered her eyes and took out a thick stack of photos from her bag, placing them on the table.There were so many photos that they scattered across the table when she set them down.The content of the photos was disturbing—some showed naked embraces in bathrooms, others showed antics in pool halls, and still others in offices. The locations varied, and the females kept changing, but the male lead was always Larry.This stack of explicit photos was quite substantial."Mr. and Mrs. Spencer."Aria's gaze was calm, "These are the 'greetings' I've received from Larry's lovers over the years."I can't continue in this marriage. Mrs. Spencer, I'm afraid of catching a disease."Marcus and Susan's expressions grew increasingly grim.They knew Larry was wil

Looking at Lucy, whose worried face showed her devotion to him, Larry felt something stir inside him.Men often have this inherent weakness—seeing a fragile, beautiful woman tends to evoke sympathy. Especially since Lucy looked seventy percent like Linda, even if only for Linda's sake, he couldn't continue to blame Lucy."Lucy, I know you've always been the most considerate."Lucy thought of him in everything, but what about Aria?Not only was she flirting with other men, but she had also humiliated Linda and Lucy's work in front of everyone at the art exhibition and even moved out.His eyes grew cold as he recalled the incident when Kent had forced him to drink a stomach full of cold water.Yet now he needed Aria to clarify that their marriage wasn't falling apart, so he had to let Lucy apologize first.Larry brought Lucy into the house.The atmosphere in the hall was already tense. Susan sat upright but couldn't help craning her neck to see when Larry would return.This glanc

"If you have something to say, you can say it after the meal. No need to spoil everyone's appetite."Lucy could only nod pitifully. Larry immediately found her a seat next to him and attentively served her a bowl of chicken soup.In their five years of marriage, had Larry ever served Aria a bowl of soup? It seemed he only showed such tenderness in Lucy's presence.They were nearly divorced—what expectations could she still have of Larry?Aria shook her head slightly, her knife and fork cutting into the pastry on her plate. The filling was rose-flavored, and her expression changed slightly, finding it ironically amusing.The Spencer family wanted something from her and tried to please her, carefully selecting dishes to match her taste. Yet ironically, the pastry was filled with rose paste—her least favorite flavor.If she remembered correctly, this was Lucy's favorite.Apparently, when Susan had asked Larry about Aria's favorite dessert, he had gotten it wrong.Her knife and fork

"Isn't this what you've been waiting for? Waiting to marry into the Spencer family by using a child as leverage?"Aria looked at Lucy.She appeared pitiful, with a pale face and tears in her eyes, like a victimized fallen girl.But Aria knew it was all an act.Lucy wasn't crying inside. Through that pitiful yet false facade, Aria could see her mocking, cold-hearted interior.Aria reached out and gripped Lucy's chin, leaning in close. Lucy's breathing became uneven as she whimpered, "Aria..."Putting on an act in front of me is truly ridiculous."You don't need to get rid of the baby. Have the child, future Mrs. Spencer."You know it well—now that you're carrying his child, he'll protect you."Each word Aria spoke hit the mark, revealing Lucy's true intentions."Enough! Aria! This is my fault. Stop with your sarcastic comments!" Larry couldn't stand it anymore and helped Lucy up from the floor, turning angrily toward Aria.Aria waved her hand dismissively, "You're free to de

Marcus and Susan thought Larry had lost his mind.Did he think he could do whatever he wanted? Have Lucy give birth and give the child to Aria? Would Aria ever agree to such a thing?Aria had evidence of his affairs, and now there was a child involved. Even if Larry refused to divorce, Aria could easily file for divorce herself! If things reached that point, the Spencer family would gain nothing from the situation!Lucy also thought Larry had gone mad. She had hoped that because of her "pregnancy," Larry would agree to divorce Aria and be with her.But she never expected this lunatic would still refuse to divorce Aria and even want to give the baby to her.Yet Lucy couldn't say anything. She had to maintain her image and continue her pitiful act, saying she was willing.With Larry so determined, Marcus and Susan couldn't control him. The press conference was impossible now. They could only call in favors and offer incentives to prevent the reporters from spreading rumors.The art

Lucy clutched her abdomen and cried out in pain, falling to the ground as if she'd been attacked. Blood began seeping between her legs.Drip.Drip.It pooled on the ground.The bright red blood seemed to color Aria's vision crimson."Help me... my stomach hurts so badly...""My baby..."Lucy curled up in pain, both hands pressed against her abdomen. Her face was paper-white, her eyes red, tears streaming down continuously.Her voice trembled with pleading as she reached out again as if trying to grab Aria's ankle."Aria... help me."Blood stained her white dress hem, blooming like a grotesque, malicious flower.Aria stood frozen, involuntarily stepping back. She couldn't understand how this had happened.Had she touched Lucy? No.Lucy had fallen on her own.In her shock, people rushed forward. Several of them helped Lucy up and into a waiting car.Lucy was taken away, but bloodstains remained on the ground.Aria looked down, her gaze fixed on the blood. In that moment, th

Larry furiously pushed open his office door and rushed out of Spencer Corporation, ignoring his secretary's attempts to stop him.The Spencer employees exchanged glances, all guessing the reason for Larry's anger.When Larry reached the hotel, he called Aria. The rage compressed in his chest was impossible to contain. His voice was ice-cold as he demanded "Aria, come down!"This situation demanded an explanation. She couldn't avoid it.Aria didn't try to run away. When she came down to the hotel entrance, she noticed more people had gathered around, apparently including several reporters.Had they found this location from the video and were now staking it out?Aria's mind was in chaos. After hesitating briefly, Larry stepped forward and gripped her wrist tightly.With a twisted expression, he shouted at her "Aria! How could you be so cruel!"Lucy came to apologize to you! She already admitted her mistake! She had decided to give in and have the baby for you to raise. Why would y

"Today you officially became my wife, so I'm finding it hard to hold back." He leaned forward slightly, brushing the corner of her lips, gently grazing them. "So, Mrs. Duncan, may I kiss you?"His lips were already touching hers, yet he still asked this question—wasn't that question a little redundant?Aria felt her first impression of Archer hadn't been wrong."Wolf in sheep's clothing" or "gentleman on the outside, beast on the inside" would definitely describe him accurately.Her face grew even redder, her breathing uneven, her eyes closed as she dared not look at the man before her."So may I kiss you, Mrs. Duncan?"He was still asking.As if waiting for her answer before truly kissing her."We're married..." Her voice was soft, but this was clearly an answer.He smiled. "So that's a yes?"A barely audible "mm" escaped her throat, and the man smiled as he moved closer, finally kissing her.At last his lips met hers. Aria was stunned for a moment, then slowly relaxed.H

He wore only a white shirt, perhaps because of the summer heat. His tie was loosened slightly, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone and attractive Adam's apple.His sleeves were casually rolled up to his elbows, his hands gripping the steering wheel, making his forearms look even more solid.When he turned the wheel, his arms moved, causing the shirt to stretch across his upper arms. The fabric clung tightly to his muscles, revealing his elegant, powerful contours.Her gaze moved upward to his handsome, refined profile. This was the first time she had observed him so carefully and from such close proximity. She realized his features were truly exceptional.His eyes were as beautiful as expensive obsidian, his nose as perfectly sculpted as a work of art. She had often heard people mention how handsome Larry was, but now she saw that compared to Archer, Larry's appearance seemed rather ordinary.Archer was mature and dignified, with

He was very clear about certain things and never gave these women any reason to think they were special....In the car, Aria sat in the passenger seat, still looking somewhat dazed at the ring on her finger.She had been married to Larry for three years and naturally had a wedding ring.But Larry never wore his wedding ring in public, so she hadn't worn hers either. Her ring finger didn't even have that circular mark from wearing a ring. Now, though, things seemed different."What are you thinking about?"Suddenly, she felt warmth at her ear as hot breath caressed her earlobe and neck, carrying the man's cool, fresh scent.Aria quickly turned her head, surprised and stunned.Archer's face was just inches away. When she had turned, his lips had nearly brushed her cheek and the corner of her mouth.Now his warm breath fell on her face, making her ears burn and her entire face flush.They were so close that for the first time, she looked directly into his eyes through his glasse

His fingers showed no ring marks, indicating he had never worn rings before.The platinum band fit perfectly on his long, elegant fingers, looking especially graceful.For the first time, Aria felt that a man wearing a ring could be incredibly attractive.His hands were fair and well-defined, slender yet elegant, with veins faintly visible beneath the skin. Now, with a ring on his finger, it was as if she had claimed him.Aria paused, unable to resist touching his refined fingers. They were long and slender, the skin wrapped smoothly around each slightly protruding knuckle, giving his hands a lean, graceful appearance.At this moment, she suddenly realized that this man now belonged to her.Ethan went to pay for the necklace and ring for his companion. As she waited, she turned around and witnessed this scene, her eyes darkening.Seeing how dismissive Ethan was toward her compared to this moment, her face paled slightly.She glared at Aria with hostility, then suddenly stepped t

"I've got no wedding on the horizon, not even close." Ethan showed no concern for his female companion's paling face.When they first got together, he had made it clear—he would provide money and gifts, and she would only need to offer emotional support. Any deeper feelings were off the table.Theirs wasn't a physical transaction but an emotional one. The two of them were simply in a business arrangement.So she was a companion, not a girlfriend, and there was certainly no "wedding bells" in their future.Archer noticed that Ethan's companion seemed upset, but he just nodded slightly."Feel free to look around. I'll help Aria pick out rings."Ethan clicked his tongue softly as Archer led Aria to the counter displaying matching rings. The styles were relatively simple. Aria didn't like anything too flashy, and she sensed Archer probably didn't either. Simple, understated rings would be perfect."I know it's not a good time for you to wear a wedding ring right now, so let's start w

Only getting married once in a lifetime…Aria froze for a moment, her eyes slightly dazed.Only once—what did that mean?It meant he had chosen her. It meant there wouldn’t be anyone else. No betrayal. She would be his one and only wife.Was this Archer’s way of making her a promise?She wasn’t a naïve girl anymore, easily swept away by pretty words. But still… she couldn’t help letting herself imagine what it would be like, just for a second.Kent didn’t get in the car this time. Archer was the one driving.Eventually, the car pulled up in front of a high-end jewelry flagship store.“Let’s go,” Archer said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out first.Aria was a little confused—why were they stopping here? But as soon as she got out, Archer took her hand and gently led her toward the store.“Wait,” she said, tugging at his hand just as they reached the entrance.He looked down at her.She stared at his handsome face, suddenly second-guessing herself. What if she misun

This can’t be real.It has to be a coincidence. Maybe he was just helping her walk in.The clerk at the marriage office was secretly stunned—but still managed to keep a polite, professional smile on her face.“Miss Jackson, did you forget something?” she asked pleasantly.Aria paused in surprise.She hadn’t expected the same clerk from this morning to be the one handling their marriage license too.Her gaze shifted to Archer.Archer looked completely calm. “We’re here to get our marriage license,” he said. “We need the application form.”The clerk froze.Wait… what?Miss Jackson really did get divorced this morning… and now she’s back to get married?Her eyes widened in disbelief, but she kept smiling and professionally handed them the paperwork.Wow. Miss Jackson, you're bold.Of course, the clerk wasn’t clueless—she’d heard all about Larry Spencer and his scandals. The guy had mistresses all over the place. A complete jerk.If he could mess around however he wanted, why

Aria barely had time to react to his last joking comment—because as soon as Archer said he was taking her to meet his family, her nerves kicked in.She hadn’t expected that when he said he was bringing her home, he meant straight to his grandparents. Meeting the head of the Duncan family right away? That felt like… a lot.She was starting to panic.Even before her family fell apart—and even when she had never been married—she never dared dream of being introduced directly to the elder of a family like the Duncans. And now, after having gone through a marriage and divorce?“Mr. Duncan… I’ve never asked you this before, but… does your family really approve of you marrying me?”The Duncans weren’t just any family—they were old money, a real high-society dynasty. Archer, as the direct heir, could have had his pick of society’s most eligible women. And yet… he chose her.But why?“At the very least, my grandparents definitely approve,” Archer replied with a soft laugh. “Two years ago,

A flicker of emotion passed through Archer’s eyes, but he replied calmly, “I just got here.”He placed a dish in front of her—black pepper steak, her favorite.Aria smiled, her eyes curving slightly. This time, she didn’t say thank you. Instead, she picked up the tongs and placed a shrimp onto his plate, then happily dug into the steak on her own.The chef at this restaurant really knew their craft. The steak was tender and fresh, and even as she ate, Aria still remembered to maintain perfect table manners.Archer, seated across from her, simply watched in silence. Just watching her brought a quiet sense of peace.The meal didn’t take long. Aria had never been a big eater, and she finished off the lunch with a glass of sweet fruit juice.As they neared the end of the meal, Archer set down his utensils and asked, “Did anything upset you today? Did Larry or Lucy give you a hard time?”His tone was calm as always, but there was a trace of concern hidden beneath it.Aria gave a soft
