Spencer looked at Ariana. "'Perfect timing'? You and her? Do you think you can compare to her? Ariana, are you even worthy?"

"Worthy of what? What makes her unworthy?"

Startled, both of them turned to see Enrique approaching.

"What are you two talking about?" Enrique asked, having caught only the last part of Spencer's sentence. "Spencer, have you upset Ari again?"

Spencer looked pale.

Ariana quickly responded, "Grandpa, we were just discussing… a game. He said I couldn't beat him, which is really irritating."

Enrique glared at Spencer. "You should be more considerate of Ari! When you were young, you always saved the best food for her. You'd cry if we stopped you from keeping it!"

Spencer was taken aback. "Grandpa, come on. When did I ever cry?"

Ariana was curious. "Saving food for me? I don't remember that."

Enrique chuckled. "You were too young to remember. He was young, too. The first time he saw you, he said you'd be his wife. He'd follow you around with his short legs, an

    Enrique said, "He really liked you back then. I've never seen him like anyone so much. He would often mention you even as he grew older."Spencer had been raised by Enrique, so his words carried weight."So, what happened later?" Ariana asked. "Did he still mention me after he started school?"Enrique smiled. "He was chubby and quite cute when he was little. But he became less talkative when he grew taller and slimmed down around five or six years old. Even though he didn't say much, I knew he still liked you."Ariana was puzzled. "How did you know?"Enrique replied, "He used to make you gifts for your birthday every year. Don't you remember?"Ariana was astonished. "Gifts? What kind of gifts?""Drawings he made himself, assembled building blocks, and even wooden carvings. I saw him working on them myself. He'd often hurt his hands but never complained.""Are you sure they were for me?"Enrique nodded. "Of course.""But…" Ariana thought hard and realized she had no recollecti

    After thinking it over, Ariana decided not to approach Spencer. It wouldn't change a thing, anyway. It didn't mean much, even if he had feelings for her back then.The fact remained that Spencer didn't like her now. There was no reason to dig into the past and risk getting embarrassed by him.However, Ariana couldn't help pondering about it.She was still troubled by it when Spencer came back. She simply couldn't clear her mind.…Ariana felt much better after resting for a day. She had dinner and was told by Enrique to go to bed early.They both went to their bedroom. Spencer glanced at her and met her eye but quickly looked away. While he worked on his laptop, she picked up her phone to look up some information. They avoided each other.Ariana couldn't help it and finally broke the silence, asking, "Do you know how to do wood carving?"Spencer didn't respond.They were both on opposite ends of the couch, with a large space in between. Ariana tilted her head to look at him.

    Ariana had already used every insult she could think of to criticize Spencer. Now, she was simply stunned by his audacity."You're so shameless!" She gritted her teeth and hissed, "You're a wolf in sheep's clothing!"Spencer picked her up and carried her toward the bed. "If you keep calling me that every day, I'll turn into one soon.""You're really a pervert!"He set her down on the bed and pressed himself against her. "Stop talking, and let's get to business, okay?"Ariana glared at him. "I'm exhausted. Can't you just leave me alone?""What do you mean exhausted?" Spencer kissed her earlobe. "You'll feel better after this. Sweat it out, and you'll be fine by tomorrow. Trust me, okay?"Of course, Ariana wouldn't trust him!Yet, there was nothing she could do.Spencer thrust into her and let out a satisfied moan. "Indeed, it's warm."Indeed, Ariana's body was warm. Besides, they had always matched. It felt different today. However, Ariana was still furious that Spencer disreg

    The next morning, Ariana's cold had surprisingly recovered.She went back to work, and Jensen brought her a lot of fruit.Ariana said helplessly, "I can't eat this much.""Fruits are good for replenishing vitamins and preventing getting sick," Jensen said. "Keep the ones you like, and share the rest with your colleagues."Jensen had brought her some deep red cherries, which were as big as paper shell walnuts. They were really juicy.Ariana remembered Enrique had mentioned Spencer delivering some fruits from abroad for her. She didn't believe it.Before leaving, Jensen said, "I have surgery today, so I can't accompany you for lunch. Sisi is nearby for errands, and she'll come over. Make sure to eat well, okay?"Ariana smiled. "Got it."…At noon, Sienna indeed came to find Ariana.They went to a restaurant near the hospital. With the New Year approaching, Sienna was less busy. She had already discussed designs and details for the New Year's clothes with her clients well in a

    After pondering briefly, Spencer decided to spend a bit more time with Ariana.He picked up his phone and texted Connor. "I'll come over at ten tonight."Connor quickly replied, "Why so late?"Spencer chose not to respond. He instinctively didn't want to discuss his issues with Ariana with others.He had made up his mind. If he received a gift from Ariana tonight and the atmosphere was right, they might have a "deeper" conversation.Having been careful about her condition, he hadn't had enough the previous night.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and Spencer responded in a low voice, "Come in."Joanne entered and placed a stack of documents on the desk for Spencer to sign. After finishing her work, she asked, "Spence, did you not like the scarf I gave you?"Spencer replied, "Of course not.""But you haven't worn it." Joanne pursed her lips. "I know my gift might not be to your taste…""Don't think that way." Spencer sighed. "It's not like that. Fine. I'll wear it."Afte

    Ariana seemed confused."I left them downstairs. Why?""I got them for you. Aren't you going to take them with you?"Ariana replied, "Aren't they just a free gift from the flower shop?"Spencer was even more frustrated. "So what? Are you just going to disregard something someone gave you?"Ariana almost laughed in exasperation. "How should I cherish them? Should I carry them up and sleep with them?""You're completely unreasonable!"Ariana thought he was getting absurd again and didn't want to argue. She asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"Spencer grew annoyed. "Do you know what day it is today?"Ariana replied, "What day?""Tomorrow is my birthday," Spencer said through gritted teeth. "Don't you know?""Well, you just said it's tomorrow," Ariana uttered. "So what does today have to do with it?"Spencer was too proud to directly ask her what gift she had prepared for him, even though he was eager to know. On the other hand, Ariana, who would usually prepare

    Ariana said, "Spencer, do you even remember what I gave you last year?"Spencer was stunned.Seeing his silence, Ariana smiled. "You just said you cherish everything others give you, yet you can't even remember what I gave you last year.""Don't make excuses!" Spencer snapped. "That's not a valid reason for forgetting my birthday.""You receive so many gifts every year. Surely, one more doesn't matter," Ariana said. "I'm not as considerate as someone who personally knitted a scarf for you. I see you're liking it very much."Spencer reacted quickly this time. "Are you upset because I received Joanne's scarf? It's just a scarf. Why make such a fuss? Don't you think you're overreacting?"Ariana thought it was wise to control her emotions in time. After all, even if Spencer had feelings for her, he wouldn't stay loyal to her. Accepting gifts from other women and being indifferent about it showed how little he cared.She would be infuriated if she had to spend the rest of her life wi

    Ariana struggled. "What are you doing?""You're my wife," Spencer said. "It's only right that you accompany me on my birthday.""You never allowed me to come with you!""You haven't prepared a gift for me this year!"Before Ariana could say anything else, Spencer added, "Just change into some clothes and come with me. Or do you want Grandpa to hear us arguing?"Ten minutes later, both of them were dressed and in the car.Throughout the drive, Ariana ignored Spencer. She didn't even glance his way.Spencer was also fuming, his face dark.Ariana couldn't figure out why he had brought her along, especially when Joanne was also there. In the past, she'd put up with Connor's unpleasant remarks at these gatherings. She wondered if Spencer was trying to make her look bad.If so, Spencer's plan was about to backfire.She decided she wouldn't just endure their criticisms this time. She was ready to stand up for herself. She would make them pay for what they did to her last time.With

    Ariana lowered her gaze, her lashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. Spencer could not see them, but he imagined her expression remained as distant as ever."I just want to know if we could still be friends," he continued softly.Ariana paused for several seconds before shaking her head. Spencer's voice was strained with pain as he spoke, "I know it's an inappropriate request, but if we don't try this approach, I might not be able to stop pursuing you." "So you're saying if I don't agree to be friends, you'll keep bothering me?" Ariana finally looked at him directly. "Are you threatening me?"His words reminded her of Zane, who had used the same tactic. She wondered if all men thought this way—when pursuit failed, they would settle for friendship as a consolation prize.Spencer met her gaze. "That's not it. Ari… I'm just asking for your mercy."His eyes were bloodshot with dark circles underneath, clearly showing signs of sleepless nights. Ariana looked away, unable to bear

    Jacob rubbed his temples in frustration. "I've warned you about this. She has a boyfriend now, and they have a kid. If you get involved, what does that make you? The other man?""I know…" Spencer mumbled. "But I love her and can't control these feelings." "Having control is what makes us human," Jacob said firmly. "Losing control makes us no better than animals. You're better than that.""Maybe being an animal would hurt less," Spencer muttered."If that's your attitude, then there's nothing left to discuss." Jacob was getting exasperated with him. "That man isn't right for her!" Spencer burst out, recounting everything that had happened.Jacob shook his head. "They have a child together. What's the point of saying all this now?""He's manipulative and deceitful!" Spencer's voice rose with frustration. "How can Ari be with someone like that? Even if I didn't love her, I couldn't stand by and watch her be with someone so toxic!"Jacob took a deep breath and offered another per

    "Still, he shouldn't have hit anyone!" Ariana sighed as she looked at his face, now swollen and red. "Does it hurt?"Sam's eyes welled up with tears. "Yeah, it hurts like hell..."Spencer stood nearby, his fists clenched tight. For some reason, Sam just made his blood boil, and he wanted nothing more than to punch him again."Mr. Ulrich," Ariana said while supporting Sam. "Let me say this one last time—stay out of my life. Since Sam's willing to let this go, I won't press charges, but if there's a next time, I will call the police."After her warning, Ariana helped Sam inside their house. They both froze in their tracks when they saw Leo standing in the doorway—neither knew how long he had been awake or how much he had heard."Leo," Ariana quickly spoke up. "Go back inside.""Mom, you two go ahead. I'll close the door," Leo responded quietly.Ariana had no choice but to help Sam inside while Leo walked to the doorway and looked up at Spencer. The little boy barely reached Spence

    After that, Sam told Ariana softly, "Go check on Leo. I'll handle this."Wanting no part in this confrontation, Ariana went back inside. Sam closed the door and cracked his knuckles. "Why are you always bothering Ari? She's my girlfriend now, and you should stop.""You're not right for her," Spencer replied coldly."Are you?" Sam raised an eyebrow. "I'm younger, more devoted, and I'd never hurt her or flirt with another woman. What makes you think you're better?""This is between Ari and me. It doesn't concern you.""It doesn't concern me? Or you just can't think of a response? Did I hit a nerve? I guess getting older really does make people shameless.""Don't get cocky. You're not Ari's type at all."Sam leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "That's where you're wrong. Ari loves everything about me, especially my young body..."Before he could finish, Spencer threw down the food container and swung at him. Sam, anticipating the move, dodged quickly. Before long, the two me

    Boa quickly called Ariana back and reported, "It's not Zane.""Then, it must have been Spencer," Ariana concluded."That obsessive jerk!" Boa exclaimed. "He just won't give up!"Ariana asked, "Boey, since Rowan and Zane are close, could you tell Rowan to let Zane know that nothing will ever happen between us?"Boa sighed. "I already told him, but I'll emphasize it to him again. By the way, when are you heading to Orkney? I want to pick up Leo!""Tomorrow afternoon," Ariana replied. "But don't worry about picking him up—he's coming with me."When Ariana hung up, she found Leo watching her expectantly. He jumped into her arms as soon as she put down her phone. "Mom, are you done? Can you play with me now?"Ariana's heart melted. "Of course, baby. What would you like to play?""Let's play house!" Leo's eyes sparkled. "You be the mommy, and I'll be the baby, and you have to carry me!""Alright." Ariana laughed, scooping him up."No, not like that," Leo directed. "Carry me like

    Dennis could not help glancing in the rearview mirror at that comment. Meanwhile, Ariana looked at Sam and blurted out, "Marriage? Did you forget what we agreed on?""I remember," Sam replied. "But with your ex-husband and that Zane guy, we've got our work cut out. I'm worried they'll figure things out. Maybe we should turn this act into reality."Ariana shook her head firmly. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You're already doing me a huge favor by helping. Marriage is sacred, and when you find someone you truly love—" "But Ari, you're the one I love! I want to marry you!" Sam interrupted."Sam, you're still young..." Ariana smiled gently.Sam protested, "I'm not that young! You always use that excuse, but you're only five years older than me!"Before Ariana could respond, Dennis chimed in from the front seat, "There's an old saying—you can't force love. Sam, if you really care for her, win her heart properly and make her say yes to you. This isn't the way." "You sound like

    Ariana smiled politely. "That really won't be necessary. Don't put yourself through that, Mr. Marshall. You're quite the catch, and I'm certainly not worthy. If you'll excuse me, they're waiting for me."With that, Ariana turned and headed downstairs, where Sam was leaning casually against the car, waiting for her. Even though he and Dennis knew each other, they did not get along well, so Sam stepped out of the car to wait.Being a handsome foreigner with striking features and bright blue eyes, Sam naturally drew admiring glances from passersby. He was used to the attention, but suddenly, his gaze fixed on someone watching him with unmistakable hostility.He quickly realized it was the same guy from the airport yesterday, who had tried to block their path but was completely ignored by Ariana. Sam met Spencer's gaze with calm confidence and the natural arrogance of someone who knew they had won. As far as he was concerned, Spencer was the defeated rival—someone who did not stand a

    "That jerk..." Boa muttered under her breath before turning to Leo with a bright smile. "Leo, I'm going to treat you to something yummy!""Thank you, Aunt Boa," Leo replied with a blank face."Come on. Give me a smile," Boa cooed, pinching his cheek. "Oh, my goodness! You're just too cute!"Leo responded by burying his face in Ariana's shoulder. Jensen rushed to join them after finishing his surgery, making it a lively meal with five adults and one child. Leo only showed his bright smile when interacting with Ariana, maintaining his composed expression with everyone else.However, his stoic demeanor only encouraged Boa to tease him more, filling the dinner with laughter and joy. After that, Rowan arrived to pick up Boa, accompanied by Zane. By then, Leo was fighting to stay awake after his long flight and emotional reunion.He managed to open his eyes briefly to look at the two tall men before drifting off on Ariana's shoulder. Though the glimpse was quick, it was enough for

    "Me, too!" Sienna exclaimed, and Ariana could not help but laugh at her precious son's perfect little face, now adorned with two lipstick marks.Even though Leo felt that he was too grown up to be carried, he had not seen Ariana in so long that he did not want to leave her arms. Just this once, he decided to indulge himself and enjoy the comfort of her embrace.As the group walked toward the exit, sharing laughs, Ariana suddenly stopped in her tracks. The others paused, confused."What's wrong? Why did you stop…" Boa's voice trailed off as she spotted the man standing ahead of them.It was Spencer, his eyes fixed intently on the child in Ariana's arms. Now, Boa understood why Ariana had been so confident that Spencer would not question Leo's parentage. With those bright blue eyes matching Sam's, there was no way Spencer would suspect Leo was his.Boa thought it was a brilliant plan, and she looked at Spencer smugly. On the other hand, Leo glanced at Spencer before resting obed
