Only Weston knew that Joanne was perhaps just a decoration in Spencer's eyes. Like an inkstone on his desk or a wooden carving in his cabinet. Call Spencer cold-blooded or heartless, but he never truly cared about Joanne.

Even for his so-called "first love" abroad, Spencer had never done anything special. At least he had bought luxury gifts for Joanne. The one abroad had not gotten even the slightest benefit.

In Weston's view, after Spencer got married, he genuinely cared for Ariana, although he did not say it and acted coldly. Every time he returned from a business trip, the next day Weston could see the satisfaction and joy on Spencer's face. That was because absence could make the heart grow fonder.

He had thought Spencer would spend his life with Ariana. After all, he felt Spencer was very content with such a life. But he never expected that Spencer would play such a good hand so badly.

Of course, with Spencer's countless assets, his status was not affected by the divorce. B

    At the office, Spencer could still manage to sleep for three or four hours whenever he became exhausted from work. But now, with his mind completely empty and his body fatigued, he still could not fall asleep no matter what. In the previous days, Spencer had forced himself to think only about work matters. After all, he was at the company and in that kind of atmosphere. But he was now in their bedroom at Ulrich Estate and on the large bed they once shared. Spencer could not help but think of Ariana. Or rather, the longing he had suppressed for days burst forth like a flood from an opened dam. It was surging so violently that it left him in a complete mess. Finally, he crushed the cigarette pack. Throwing himself on the bed, he stared blankly at the ceiling until daybreak. The energy he had been holding onto finally gave out. And then, there was no going back. The amount of longing he had for her made him suffocate. As dawn broke, he took out his phone. When he spoke, his voice

    News of Spencer going to the hospital spread quickly. Connor called him. "What happened? You went to the hospital?" Spencer was lying on a hospital bed, with something cool and soothing taped over his eyes. He said, "I strained my eyes. They're uncomfortable, so I came to get them checked." "Glad it's nothing serious," Connor said. "I was thinking of inviting you out for drinks, but I heard you've been busy lately."After all, the Ulrich Group had completed several major projects, which were enough to make other families green with envy. Spencer said, "Can't drink for now." Connor said, "In a few days, then." There was not much else to say. He was about to hang up when Spencer added, "Do you have any news about Ariana?" Connor was taken aback. Firstly, he felt guilty. Whenever Spencer mentioned Ariana in front of him, he could not help feeling nervous, even though he knew he probably would not be exposed in this lifetime. After all, Spencer was not someone to be trifled

    Spencer still could not sleep at the hospital. There were many causes of insomnia, but after a full body checkup, he was found to have no illnesses. He asked the doctor to prescribe him sleeping medication. After all, he wanted to be energetic when he met Ariana. He could not let Ariana see him in a haggard and disheveled state. With the help of medication, Spencer did manage to fall asleep. But when he woke up, he did not feel refreshed. It was like a dark cloud hung over his heart, making him feel gloomy and uncomfortable. When he was discharged, the attending physician advised him to maintain a regular schedule, exercise, and relax his mind. He could manage the first two. But relaxing his mind… How could he relax? Spencer felt he could not do it. During his two days in the hospital, no one called to tell him Ariana's whereabouts. He even suspected his phone might be broken, which stopped him from receiving news. But when he called the others, his subordinate's hesitant voi

    "No way!" Spencer immediately became agitated. "What do you mean 'give up'? If your wife left and you couldn't find her, would you just give up?" Jacob said, "Don't forget that you yourself drove her away. I may be single, but if I had a wife in the future, I'd certainly treat her well!" "Is this the time to talk about that?" Spencer shouted. "Don't I know to cherish her in the future?" "What if she doesn't want to get back together? Will you force her? You do have a record..." "Are you my friend or hers? Shouldn't you be on my side?" "I'm definitely looking out for you, but I can't just watch you make mistakes. I can help you find her. But if she comes back and doesn't want to reconcile, you need to let go. Understand?" Spencer gritted his teeth. "Don't tell me what to do!" "With this attitude, I can see why Ariana left. Spencer, even as a single guy, I know this isn't how you should treat someone you love." Spencer finally quieted down. Jacob continued, "Before, you

    Jensen was not surprised to receive Spencer's call. From the day Ariana left, he had been prepared to meet with Spencer. The first call was asking about Ariana's whereabouts. The second time, he requested to meet, and Jensen agreed. When Ariana initially liked Spencer, Jensen was unwilling and reluctant to let her go. But he could not possibly stop Ariana from pursuing her own happiness. However, he never imagined that the woman he treasured like a pearl would be treated so lowly by Spencer. Fortunately, Ariana finally pulled back from the brink. But by this point, Jensen had wanted to beat up Spencer several times. Nevertheless, the outcome was good. Ariana was finally leaving to live her own new life, even if this new life did not involve him. But Spencer was also not part of it. Jacob would accept it as long as Ariana was happy. When Spencer contacted him again, Jensen could guess what he was thinking. He just could not find Ariana and was coming to him to test the waters.

    "I'm asking one more time," Spencer said. "I hope you can answer truthfully." "I've always been honest," Jensen said. "Of course, if you're constantly lying and thus see everyone as untrustworthy, I can't help that." Spencer still did not argue with him. "Say what you want, as long as you can tell me her whereabouts. I won't fight back even if you beat me up." Jensen crossed his left leg over his right. "Oh? What's this, Mr. Big Shot CEO? Has the sun risen from the west?" "Mock me all you want, and say whatever you like. I said, I just want to know where she is." "Spencer, have you considered that you're like a god in Nordenton?" Jensen pointed at the ceiling. "No one dares to offend you. Even though I've disliked you since childhood, I wouldn't dare gamble the Rivera family against you. "If even you can't find her, why would you think I know?" "Intuition." Spencer's gaze lowered as he stared at Jensen intensely. "You definitely know her whereabouts.""Yes. I did ask whe

    Spencer could not help but let out a snicker. He knew no man could resist such temptation. Even Jensen was no exception. So what if he had a deep bond with Ariana? Wasn't he still putting Ariana aside for some petty gain?At this moment, he really wanted to record this scene to show Ariana later. So much for childhood sweethearts with unbreakable bonds. Was this all it amounted to? Jensen was no better than others. He was far inferior to his own feelings for Ariana. For Ariana, Spencer could give up this land. What about Jensen? As he compared the two of them, Spencer even began to feel smug. He said, "Of course it's true. This is how sincere I am. Just tell me her whereabouts, and this land is yours immediately." But he heard Jensen say this the next second: "No wonder. When I went to the church at the beginning of the year, the old priest said I wouldn't be so lucky this year. He said that even if wealth came my way, I wouldn't be able to grasp it."Spencer frowned. "What d

    After a few seconds, Spencer asked, "Are you done?" "Although there's a lot more I could criticize, forget it. We won't have much interaction in the future anyway." "If that land isn't enough," Spencer said, "just name whatever else you want." Jensen shook his head. "So, did you not listen to anything I just said?" "I did," Spencer said. "I don't actually need to promise you anything. But since... Ari considers you family, I'll tell you this. I won't let her down in the future, do you understand?" Jensen smiled. "Spencer, we're both men. Why are you pretending to have such deep feelings for her in front of me? Given what you did after marrying Ari, how can I trust your words?" "Jensen, don't push your luck when I'm trying to talk to you nicely." Spencer picked up his glass and downed most of the alcohol. "I'll ask one more time. What else do you want besides that land?" "I want you to stay far away from Ari." Jensen stood up and casually buttoned his suit. "Spencer, not e

    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
