Spencer gulped.

This realization made him lose control of his emotions, but the uneasiness he felt seemed to have disappeared. He reveled in the power to manipulate Ariana as he pleased.

He traced his fingers over Ariana's smooth, delicate skin and continued, "So, you're not even playing hard to get, huh? You just can't bear to leave me, can you? Ariana, you've got your comeuppance…"

Ariana pushed him away abruptly.

However, Spencer wasn't angry. "Did I say something wrong? Your diary was full of affection for me. It really took me by surprise. You never showed it before…"

"Spencer!" Ariana gritted her teeth. "Since you've read the diary, you should know it's from a long time ago. The so-called affection was nothing more than a fascination with your looks and physique. Ultimately, I liked only your appearance."

Ariana had no other recourse. She used this explanation to counter his accusations.

"We've been married for over three years. My feelings for you have long since fade

    The divorce process went so smoothly that Ariana found herself questioning reality.Early in the morning, her lawyer was waiting for her at the court. When she saw the revised divorce agreement, she was somewhat surprised. Given that they had signed a prenup, the divorce was relatively straightforward.Despite Spencer's high status and power, he didn't even need to be present for the divorce. Ariana still received the divorce certificate. As she looked at the certificate in her hand, she felt a moment of disorientation.Her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. Without checking the caller ID, she answered.Kieran's raging voice rang out on the other end of the phone, "You've really grown bold! How dare you make decisions about the marriage on your own? If the family business is affected, how will you make it up to me?"Even though Enrique had informed him in advance, saying that the divorce was a private matter between the two of them and instructing him not to blame Ariana, Ki

    Ariana chuckled softly. "Goodbye, Mr. Ulrich."With that, she ended the call, tossed the phone into her bag, and walked away.Spencer stared at his phone in disbelief. "Ariana? Ariana!" She had actually dared to hang up on him. Moreover, he thought the word "goodbye" she had said sounded like she meant goodbye forever.He immediately lost his composure. Gripping his phone tightly, he could barely hold back the urge to throw it against the wall.After taking a few deep breaths, he dialed Connor's number. "Change the welcome dinner for your cousin to tonight. Invite more people. I'm divorced now. It's time to celebrate."Connor was momentarily stunned before asking, "Really? You got the divorce papers?" His voice was full of undisguised excitement. Spencer snapped, "What are you so happy about?""I'm happy for you," Connor quickly replied. "This is good news. It's definitely worth celebrating! Don't worry. My cousin will be there, and I'll invite a few more people!"After en

    Those people were discussing the outfit of a certain socialite in their circle, saying they were made by Sienna. One of them quickly replied to Spencer, "Yes. She made clothes for a lot of people during the New Year."Spencer lowered his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Contact her and ask her to come here. Tell her we want her to make some clothes."Although that person didn't know why Spencer was making this request, they knew better than to question him.When Sienna got the message, she didn't suspect anything.She had designed a lot of outfits for people during the New Year. From the cut to the fabric, her work was outstanding. Those who wore her designs shone at various gatherings. Hence, she'd been getting more orders recently. Since someone asked to meet with her, she agreed without hesitation.However, she didn't expect to see Spencer there. Even then, she didn't think much of it.Spotting the person who had contacted her, she walked straight over, not even

    Sienna appeared calm and collected, but inside, she was actually quite nervous.Soft and gentle, she wasn't as sharp-tongued as Boa. Just being able to say what she had was already a big step for her.Before Spencer could respond, Connor sneered. "Does Ariana think she's some kind of hot commodity that everyone wants? We're calling her here just to show her that the world keeps turning no matter who's around! But then again..."He turned to Spencer. "We're having such a good time here. Why bother calling Ariana? She'd just ruin the mood."Sienna hadn't expected Connor to say something in her defense. She glanced at him in surprise.However, Spencer's voice cut through the air like a knife, "Shut up!"No one dared to speak further.He turned his gaze back to Sienna. "So, are you drinking or not? If not, make the call and get her here."Sienna gritted her teeth. "Fine! I'll drink!"She picked up the glass, ready to gulp down the alcohol in one go. No matter what, she wasn't goin

    Everyone looked toward the door, where a tall man blocked the entrance.It was Jacob.He had been stationed at his military base during the New Year and had only just gotten a chance to visit home after everyone else's holidays ended.Even though Sienna wasn't familiar with Jacob personally, she knew what kind of person he was. Ariana had mentioned him before, and she knew he wasn't someone who would easily side with Spencer and Connor.She spoke up, "Mr. Horton, you be the judge. Spencer's already divorced Ari, and now, he's keeping me here, insisting I call her to come over. Does that sound right to you?"Jacob looked at Spencer in disbelief. "You divorced Ariana?"Spencer's face darkened as he nodded.Jacob frowned. "How did things get to this point?"He then turned to Sienna. "You're Sienna, right? I recognize you. You should go home. It's clear Spencer is in the wrong here today.""That's right," Connor quickly added. "Jacob is here now. So, Spencer, you two should talk t

    Spencer said, "I think I just spoiled her! She must be out of her mind to divorce me!""I think you're the one who's out of your mind!" Jacob shot back. "Ariana's a wonderful girl. You've been bullying her since you were kids, and I've been meaning to call you out on it for a long time!""She bullied me, too!" Spencer retorted. "Every time she and Jensen teamed up against me, do you think I ever got the upper hand?"If anything, he was the one who had lost out more often."Are you really that immature?" Jacob said. "You're like a little boy in kindergarten. When you like someone and want their attention, you'll pull their pigtails or lift up their skirts.""I never did anything that childish!""Not far off, though." Jacob observed his expression. "I know you have feelings for her. You two are married, and you should try to understand each other."Before he could finish, Spencer interrupted, "Who said I have feelings for her? Stop making things up!""Fine," Jacob replied. "Now t

    Jacob spoke up immediately, "Just stop talking already."Spencer turned to look at him. "You don't believe me? I'm telling you. She doesn't want a divorce with me at all!"Jacob reminded Spencer, "She's already filed for a divorce with you! Wake up, Spence!"Spencer just scoffed coldly. "You have no idea just how much she likes me! Filing for a divorce is just a method for her to lure me into her trap!"Ariana had just sat down, yet she stood up once again. "Jacob, I don't think there's any reason for me to continue speaking with Mr. Ulrich any longer. I came here because I wanted to show my respect for you. I hope this incident will never happen again in the future."After that, she moved to leave.Jacob got up immediately to stop her from leaving. "Ariana, just ignore Spence. He's being stubborn and dishonest."Then, Jacob berated Spencer, "Shut up, you!"Jacob was older than Spencer. He was also an honest and righteous guy who spent his days serving in the military army. The

    Ariana just chuckled coldly. "Yeah, I'm just lying to you. I don't want to get a divorce with you at all. I'm doing this just to lure you back in. Are you happy now, Mr. Ulrich?"She no longer bothered to stay in the room after that, so she turned to leave.Spencer rushed over to catch up to Ariana, only to feel Jacob grab his arm tightly."Let go of me!"Jacob's grip was firm and unyielding. "Calm down, Spence!""I am calm!""As if!" Jacob shoved Spencer back into the room before slamming the door shut. "You and Ariana are already divorced! Her schedule and itinerary have nothing to do with you from now on!"Spencer yanked his collar open in a fit of frustration. "It's just her tactic to lure me in! She must be doing this on purpose!""Seriously, Spence, nothing about Ariana's behavior screams 'I like you' at all.""That's because she's a good actress!" Spencer retorted angrily. "Do you know how good of an actress she is? It's been three years, yet I have no idea that… Had I

    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
