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 "You're a bit outdated, it seems.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—"

    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

    Ever since Spencer and Ariana got officially divorced, Ariana had always thought that she and Spencer had nothing to do with each other anymore in all aspects of life.It was true that they were once husband and wife. Even if Spencer had forced himself on her during their marriage, Ariana decided not to press charges against him because of her relationship with Enrique.But what Ariana didn't expect was the fact that Spencer still had the guts to kiss her even after they got divorced.Ariana was shocked, to say the least. That was when Spencer used the opportunity to deepen the kiss.It was rare for them to meet up after they got divorced. The time of their meeting was always very short, too.Before the divorce, Spencer often went on business trips. Sometimes, he didn't get to see Ariana for two weeks or so. Back then, he didn't have such strong withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps he subconsciously knew he'd get to see Ariana after he reached home. That way, he'd hug her to sleep at ni

    Ariana's voice was calm. Her current demeanor was a stark difference from the way she had fought back with all her might earlier.But for some reason, Spencer felt his heart go tense when he saw Ariana acting like this.As an extremely capable descendant of the Ulrich family, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Spencer the Chosen One. He had never run into any difficult challenges, nor did he fail any task that was given to him in life.When it came to the business world, Spencer won all of the battles he fought in. After he took over the family business, he expanded the Ulriches' business empire by a lot.But when it came to Ariana, Spencer grew accustomed to the bitter taste of defeat and helplessness. It seemed he couldn't make her obey him no matter what he did.Spencer was used to controlling everything. He thought the fact that he kept apologizing to Ariana was already enough to show how tolerant and humble he was. And yet, Ariana refused to accept him back into her life.

    Time would always pass quickly when things got hectic. As Boa would say, only people with too much free time on their hands could have the luxury of being dramatic. Three months had passed since Ariana went abroad.The research center was filled with actual geniuses who were dedicated to their scientific pursuits. There was no backstabbing or brown-nosing. Ariana loved the environment there. She had always possessed an exceptional talent in the medical field. Most geniuses tended to be arrogant about their abilities. Not a lot of people took her seriously when she first arrived. But after nearly a hundred days of working together, she had become a core member of the research team.Back in school and later at the hospital, there were always people who attributed her achievements to her looks, even if she was very capable at her job. But there, no one cared about her appearance. First off, everyone wore masks most of the time at work. Moreover, these scientists were so absorbed in

    No one understood how much Ariana liked Spencer better than Jensen. No matter how determined Ariana had seemed in the past, Jensen didn't dare to let his guard down. That was why he was so concerned about Ariana being alone in a foreign country. After seeing her transformation, Jensen was genuinely happy for her. He had been thinking about Ariana so much. He had even arranged all his work and taken a long vacation to come to see her. When Ariana learned that Jensen planned to stay for two weeks, she was puzzled. "This place isn't exactly a shopping paradise or a scenic wonderland. Are you out of your mind for wanting to waste time here?"Besides, this area was near the country's border, so it wasn't exactly safe. However, the city they were in was somewhat better since it was more lively compared to its surroundings. Ariana had been safe because she rarely left the research center. Why would Jensen stay here for two weeks? Jensen had no intention of confessing his feelings at th

    Spencer had repeatedly set aside his ego by apologizing, yet Ariana wouldn't give him a chance to make amends. It seemed rather ungrateful of her. He never thought love would occupy such a large part of his life. A man should be ambitious by working hard to conquer the business world. Those caught up in romance and sentimentality were people Spencer typically looked down upon. He had been quite disagreeable when Ariana started working at the hospital. With his ability to earn money, could Ariana not just be a full-time housewife and enjoy life? It would be normal if she had lived like Joanne, who spent her time shopping, strolling, caring for him, and being clingy. But what? Ariana was nothing but a thorn in his side! He didn't ask for much anymore. He had apologized, but Ariana still put on airs. Fine! Didn't she think she was capable? Wasn't she so sure he would beg her? This time, he would show Ariana that her little tricks wouldn't work on him anymore! And then… The

    Spencer was lost in thought for a moment. If only… If Ariana had been this gentle, caring, and considerate toward him, how wonderful that would have been. "Spencer?"Spencer snapped back to reality and asked, "Has Connor contacted you?" "He's busy." Shanice poured out the chicken soup and handed it to him. "Says he has to go to many places." "Expanding his business overseas isn't as simple as it seems." Spencer took a sip. "It's very tasty. Thank you. I still have work to do. So, you can go now." "Alright." Shanice smiled. "I've noticed you don't look well lately. If you want to eat anything, just tell me, and I'll make it for you. You're like a brother to me since Connor is out of the country. Don't be so formal, Spencer.""Okay." After Shanice left, Spencer didn't touch the chicken soup again. He had a business dinner that night and only returned home close to midnight. He still lived in Ulrich Estate with Enrique. As he went upstairs to his bedroom and looked at the

    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
