Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League Chapter 224
It was the middle of the night, and Ariana's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. With a click, she turned on the light. Her eyes adjusted to the brightness, and she was surprised. "You're back?"The person sitting on the couch was Spencer. Spencer had his arm draped over his eyes and didn't say a word. Ariana stepped closer and caught a whiff of alcohol and cigarettes emanating from him. It was revolting. She stopped where she was. "Are you drunk?"Spencer didn't move or respond. Ariana wanted to turn around and walk away. After all, whether Spencer drank himself to death was none of her concern. But after standing there for a few seconds, she walked over to him and pulled his arm away to feel his forehead. He wasn't having a fever.Before she could pull her hand back, Spencer grabbed her wrist and yanked her into his arms. Ariana was startled but didn't dare to scream in the middle of the night. She stifled the sound in her throat.Spencer held her tightly and made h

When Spencer woke up in the morning, he felt his head pounding.Last night, after seeing Joanne off, he had gone drinking alone. He had no idea how much he drank or how he managed to get home.A sense of alarm shot through him. But when he opened his eyes and saw Ariana in his arms, he felt a sudden wave of relief.Ariana was nestled softly against him, her sleeping face serene.Unable to resist, Spencer placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. His gaze traveled downward, but then he froze in shock.Ariana's exposed skin was covered with large, bluish-purple bruises. They weren't hickeys. Instead, they looked more like someone had gripped her hard.He wondered who did that to her.A surge of anger surged within him. But in the next instant, a realization hit him. Those bruises were likely his doing.The events of the previous night were hazy, but he vaguely remembered being intimate with Ariana. He also seemed to recall her struggling. He wondered if he was the one who caused thes

Enrique was clearly displeased. "If you're concerned about Ari, why don't you call her yourself?"Spencer paused before replying, "I didn't want to disturb her sleep."Enrique then continued, "She didn't eat much for lunch, and she doesn't seem to be in good spirits. If you're not too busy, come back early and spend some time with her.""I... I can't go back," Spencer said. "I have some matters to handle.""What could be more important than Ari?" Enrique snapped. "Get home right away!""I really can't," Spencer insisted. "I had someone buy her some gifts. Could you please give them to her, Grandpa?"He quickly ended the call after that. He didn't want to admit it, but he was afraid to face Ariana.…After having lunch, Ariana went back to sleep. When she woke up, she lay in bed scrolling through her phone, not wanting to move.Enrique sent a maid to call her downstairs.When she came down, she saw several brightly colored gift boxes in the living room. Judging by the logos, t

Spencer waited until nightfall but still didn't hear from Ariana.Frustrated, he called Enrique again, confirming that she had indeed received the gifts. Enrique even mentioned she seemed quite happy and that the helpers had taken the gifts up to her room.Alone in his office, Spencer fumed.She accepted the gifts but wouldn't acknowledge him. He wondered if he didn't send her enough.Just then, his phone buzzed, and he immediately looked down, hoping it was a message from Ariana.Disappointment washed over him as he saw it was just a promotional message about his favorite watch brand.He thought maybe the previous gifts weren't valuable enough. Perhaps he should buy a watch for Ariana. As he rose to leave his office, his phone rang. It was Connor.Spencer asked, "Besides buying gifts, how do you win a woman over?"Connor chuckled. "Are you trying to win over Jojo?"Spencer initially didn't want to answer his question. But for some reason, he didn't want Connor to misunderst

Spencer hesitated for just a couple of seconds before striding forward to chase after the girl.She had waist-length hair and was talking on her phone as she walked.They were standing quite a distance away from each other. He kept his eyes fixed on her. But before he could catch up, she slipped into a side door.Spencer hurried over and realized it was the door to the fire escape stairs. He rushed in, only to find the stairwell empty. Refusing to give up, he dashed down to the next floor, but there was no sign of her.Frustrated, he pulled out his phone and called Connor."I need to see the mall's surveillance footage. Get someone to arrange it."Connor asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose something?"Spencer closed his eyes briefly before opening them again. "Have you been in touch with her recently?""Who are you…" Connor started, then seemed to catch on. "Oh, you mean her? We talked a bit last time when she had a fever, but nothing after that."Spencer gripped his phone tigh

Connor shook his head. "I'm just telling the truth. Honest words are hard to hear, but if you don't want to listen, then forget it."Spencer's voice was cold. "I won't be divorcing Ariana anytime soon, so don't bring it up again."Connor was confused. "This marriage only benefits the Lubove family's business, and you only went through with it because of your grandpa. Now, after all these years, you can convince him. Why don't you just get done with it? Spencer, don't tell me you're actually falling for Ariana?"Spencer was taken aback. He quickly retorted, "That's impossible!"Connor smirked. "Yeah. I didn't think so, either. After all, your true love is overseas. I get it. She can't come back, and you're a man. You have needs, right?"Spencer's gaze turned colder, but he didn't know how to respond.What Connor said was true. He had been thinking along those lines."Alright," Connor said. "Ariana's just good for that. You don't need to get all worked up over her. She's not worth

Spencer had no idea that the person plotting against him was his best friend. On his way home, he thought about Ariana's face and the bruises that had covered her body. He wondered what he should say when he saw her. He thought he should apologize but doubted he could swallow his pride enough to do that.Besides, he had already sent her gifts. Couldn't she at least offer him an olive branch in return?When he got home, Enrique had already gone to bed.The house was quiet. Spencer slowly climbed the stairs and hesitated when he reached the bedroom door. He raised his hand to open it, but before he could do so, the door opened from the inside.He quickly stepped back and tried to calm himself, only to see one of the maids come out."Mr. Ulrich, you're back," she greeted him respectfully."What are you doing here?" he asked."Mrs. Ulrich asked me to tidy up the room before she left.""Where's Ariana? She's not here?""Mrs. Ulrich went out."Spencer abruptly pushed open the bed

After hearing Ariana's words, Jensen fell silent for a while.Ariana didn't speak either. Finally, Jensen asked, "Do you mean leaving the country to take a break and clear your head?""No," Ariana replied. "Remember that collaboration project between our hospital and the research institute abroad? I want to join it."That project had previously expressed interest in having Ariana participate. But at the time, she had no intention of considering moving overseas. If she joined now, she might not be able to return for three to five years.Jensen fell silent again.Ariana spoke up, "Could you help me with the paperwork for the hospital?"Jensen nodded.He suddenly reached out and gently touched Ariana's hair.She looked up at him, and he quickly pulled his hand back. "Alright. I'll get it done for you."Ariana responded with a hum.Jensen asked, "What if he refuses to agree to the divorce?""I have my ways.""Alright. If you need anything, let me know." Jensen took out his ph

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
