He wondered when he started having a change of heart.

"Also, the things that happened when we were younger… Didn't I bully Ariana because I thought she was annoying? The truth was I liked her and wanted her attention, so…" Spencer pondered.

He recalled quite a few things.

Spencer remembered how he did enjoy making Ariana upset back then. One of the reasons he did that was probably because he liked seeing the different expressions Ariana would show on her face. Another important reason was that he was angry at Ariana for only spending time with Jensen.

Spencer was no fool. He just had not realized his true feelings until now.

After receiving some advice and guidance, he had a dawning realization.

In other words, Spencer had liked Ariana ever since they were still kids. Since he was jealous of Jensen and Ariana spending a lot of time together, he resorted to doing various things to annoy Ariana.

Unfortunately, his actions only made the relationship between him and Ariana's group g

    Spencer had no idea this happened. "So, did she not pass the letter to the person?""I'm not sure about the details. Anyhow, since then, Connor looks at Ariana as if he's looking at an enemy."Jacob went on, "So, you shouldn't take what Connor says too seriously. He has a personal grudge against Ariana."Spencer couldn't even count the number of times Connor had bad-mouthed Ariana during the past few years.The topic he brought up the most was none other than Ariana and Jensen's relationship. Yet, the mention of this issue would always hurt Spencer's pride.That was also the reason why Spencer always had a displeased look on his face whenever he returned home and saw Ariana. He couldn't manage to control his expression when facing her.Spencer would boil with anger whenever he thought about how close Ariana and Jensen were."He did sound like he had a lot of complaints about Ari." Spencer knitted his brows. "I…"Spencer couldn't bring himself to say it. He needed some time to t

    However, Spencer appeared antsy and distracted. It was impossible to understand what he was saying as Spencer kept fumbling with his words.Enrique slapped his hand onto the table and shouted angrily, "What is it that you want to say?"Spencer scratched his nose. For some reason, he felt a bit embarrassed. "Grandpa, can you… call Ari?"Enrique was exasperated. "Don't you have hands to do it yourself?""Ari… blocked me."It was embarrassing for him to tell others what happened. However, Spencer had run out of options.He decided it was fine to embarrass himself. Being able to talk to Ariana on the phone was more important.Enrique lifted his hand and pointed at Spencer. "You! Ha… What should I do with you…"Still, he felt bad for his grandson. He also hoped that Spencer and Ariana could reconcile.Thus, he called Ariana right away. The line got through fairly quickly.Enrique said in a warm voice, "Ari, did I disturb your rest?"Ariana had just returned to her place after the

    Ariana snickered. "Spencer, is that the attitude one should have when they're trying to offer an apology?"Spencer had no idea why he was so angry. However, he just could not seem to control his temper. He drew a long breath and said, "I don't mean to say something like that…""Spencer." Ariana's voice was cold and monotonous."Whether it's offering an apology or doing anything else, I hope you learn to respect others first."Don't try to reach me through your grandpa again, Spencer. It's all over between us."Spencer was flustered and furious. He felt a hollowness in his heart upon hearing those words. He could only express his blazing rage to conceal his anxiety."That's impossible!" he shouted furiously. "It's not over between us! It's not until I say so!"Ariana had already hung up.Spencer was so furious that he nearly snapped the phone in half.After he had calmed down for a bit, he went and returned Enrique his phone.Enrique had an expectant look in his eyes. "How did

    The current Spencer seemed so different from the past Spencer that Joanne couldn't help but wail even louder."I thought you knew the dynamics of our relationship very well," Spencer said. "Things between us are already over, yet you have the guts to show up before me and question me?""Things between us are over, you say?" Joanne stared at Spencer with teary eyes. "Are you the only one who gets to decide the start and the end of a relationship? Why didn't you ask me for my opinion?""You think you have the right to call the shots in this?" Spencer let out a scoff. "Is your perception of your identity that warped?"I didn't need your permission to begin a relationship with you. Similarly, you don't get the final say over when our relationship ends.""Spencer Ulrich!" Joanne was on the verge of tearing off her gentle facade and revealing her true colors. "You think you can just dump me? As if!"Spencer just stared at her like she grew two heads. "Oh? You want to return the gifts I

    Ariana was able to get her visa sorted out in advance thanks to Jensen's efforts. She'd be collecting her visa pass on the following Monday.Today happened to be Friday, so Ariana and her friends wished to celebrate the momentous occasion after receiving the good news. They were all single anyway, so they weren't saddled with family-related burdens. That was why they could just have fun however they wished.Over the past few days, Ariana occasionally went to the hospital. Most of the time, she had the time of her life eating and having fun with Boa. Life was definitely great for her at the moment.Who would've known they'd end up meeting Joanne at dinner?Ariana and the others had a feeling that they didn't bump into Joanne by chance. Clearly, Joanne came here prepared. The moment she entered the restaurant, she made her way to Ariana.Joanne stood in front of the table, her gaze pinned firmly on Ariana. "I want to talk to you. Please follow me outside for a bit."Honestly speaki

    Boa looked behind Joanne. "Judging from how she's acting right now, it seems that Spencer won't be coming here tonight—"Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the restaurant's door being pushed open. A tall and well-built figure soon appeared in her line of sight.This time, Joanne had no idea that Spencer had just entered the restaurant. She continued, "I know everything that has transpired between you two! Spencer has already planned on divorcing you since a long time ago—"Boa's laughter cut Joanne off before the latter could finish speaking. "You're a bit outdated, it seems. Don't you know that Spencer's acting like a full-fledged simp right now just to remarry Ari?"When Joanne recalled Spencer's expression from before, she knew very well that he cared about Ariana a great deal.Jealousy and hatred overloaded her senses immediately, causing her to shout, "What's there to be smug about? He doesn't like Ariana at all! In fact, he's in love with another woman—""Shut up

    Everyone in the vicinity dared not breathe loudly at all upon hearing Spencer's words. After all, his domineering demeanor was way too intense and scary.Jensen got up to his feet at that moment. "Spencer, you've been harassing Ari time and again. What on earth are you up to?"Spencer might be responding to Jensen, but his gaze remained glued to Ariana's form. "This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with you."Jensen was about to retort when Ariana grabbed him by the arm. When Spencer noticed her action, he could feel jealousy and hatred directed at Jensen spread through his veins like wildfire. "Ariana Lubove, you won't want to know the consequences of offending me," he snarled out while glaring at her. "I'll repeat myself one more time—come with me."After that, Spencer cast a glance at the rest of Ariana's friends before turning to leave. Of course, he'd look a lot more intimidating if there weren't any ice cubes on his head.Still, Ariana couldn't help but frown

    Instead of correcting Ariana, Spencer opted to ask, "Are you jealous?"Ariana didn't deny that answer. "In the past, yeah. Now? I don't give a shit about you anymore.""Ari…" Spencer frowned. "I admit that I… can't let my feelings for Irene go. But since we were married back then… just give me some time, okay? I'll deal with this properly."Ariana took a deep breath. In the past, Sienna had called Spencer a jerk. Boa's choice of words was even more derogatory.To Ariana, Spencer might have crossed the line when it came to certain things, but she did know about the fact that he was in love with Irene before their marriage. Strictly speaking, she was to be blamed for choosing to marry him despite knowing about that. So, she shouldn't blame Spencer for not being able to let Irene go.But right after hearing Spencer's excuse, Ariana finally realized why he was such a huge jerk. The way he glossed over his feelings for Irene was exactly the same as a fuckboy who claimed to love bot

    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
