Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League Chapter 398
Ariana's phone rang. It was Kieran, likely calling because he had heard of her return. She answered with a simple, "Dad."Kieran's tone was harsh. "So you still remember I'm your father? Not a word for years. Your mom and I might as well not have had you!"Tired of explanations, Ariana asked, "Is there anything else?"However, her attitude only further angered Kieran. "You come back and don't think to see me? How can you be so inconsiderate?"Ariana glanced at the time. "I could come home now if you'd like.""You think you can just show up whenever? Not everyone's unemployed like you with all the time in the world," Kieran snapped.Ariana sighed. "I'm heading to Orkney tomorrow...""You don't even have a job. So, you can go to Orkney anytime. Come home tomorrow. We have things to discuss!""I can't change my plans. If there's something to say, please tell me now, " Ariana insisted."You're really something..." Kieran began."If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Ariana in

Immediately after that, the line went dead. Ariana tossed her phone aside, only for it to ring again moments later. She thought it was Kieran and casually picked it up.When she saw that it was actually Sienna, she quickly sat up. She leaned against the headboard and greeted, "Sisi?" Sienna's voice was thick with tears. "Ari, where are you?"Alarmed, Ariana asked, "Sisi, what's wrong?"Half an hour later, Ariana met a red-eyed Sienna in the hotel lobby. Sienna immediately threw her arms around Ariana, who held her close, worried and confused.She comforted, "What happened? Everything's going to be alright. Don't cry." After a while, Sienna calmed down. Ariana led her to the couch, wiped her face, and applied some moisturizer before asking, "Feeling better?"Sienna nodded, sniffling. "Ari, I called off my engagement."Ariana had suspected it had something to do with Harrison. Sure enough, her suspicions were confirmed as Sienna explained the situation. Harrison's childho

Rowan's palm rested on Boa's smooth skin as he leaned closer and whispered, "I'll make sure you're satisfied."Boa, considering his capabilities, shot him a glare. "Do it right, or you'll face the consequences!""Any reward if I succeed?" "I knew you had ulterior motives!" She pushed his hand away. "Shoo!""Boey..." "I told you not to call me that! We're not that close," she snapped.Rowan was truly frustrated by the heartless woman, who pretended not to know him the moment she put on her clothes. However, he was hooked, so he had no choice but to keep trying to win her over. Ariana was unaware that Boa had enlisted such a powerful ally. With him on the case, Harrison was in for a world of trouble.…Early the next morning, Ariana and Sienna got into Dennis' car and headed to Orkney, a three-hour drive from Nordenton. As they hit the highway, Dennis spoke up, "Boss, we're being followed." Sienna was startled. "What? Why would someone follow us?"Ariana glanced back and t

Ariana went to several hospitals and met a few head surgeons. She was also invited to a medical research institute. She saw Spencer's car outside the institute when she finished her agenda.Dennis said, "He's been following us."Ariana ignored Spencer as usual. "Let's go."They returned to the hotel, where Sienna was sitting with her phone, lost in thought.Ariana had turned down a dinner invitation because she was worried about Sienna. She asked, "What's the matter?"Sienna looked up at her. "Harrison lost his job."Harrison was Sienna's ex-fiancé.Ariana felt strange. "What happened?"Harrison worked at a decent company and was reasonably competent. He had worked his way up to a mid-level managerial position. That was why his parents thought highly of him and looked down on Sienna a bit.How could he just lose such a good job out of nowhere?Sienna shook her head. "I don't know. A friend told me he got fired.""Well, that's how it should be!" Ariana chuckled. "Served him r

Ariana glanced at Spencer briefly before turning away and heading straight to the sink without giving him another look. Spencer, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off her. Five years had passed, and though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different, Ariana seemed even more beautiful to him now.He had once mapped every inch of her body with his hands—so familiar. They used to be so intimate, but things had changed. She appeared somehow different.Her waist seemed slimmer, and her chest more defined...His Adam's apple bobbed, and he tossed the cigarette he had been holding straight into the trash.Ariana washed her hands and grabbed a paper towel, lowering her gaze as she wiped her fingers."Watch out!"Suddenly, Spencer moved closer, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her to the side.A little boy, no more than five or six years old, came barreling toward them like a rocket. The child would've crashed into Ariana if Spencer hadn't reacted quickly.No

Ariana thought, "Go if you want, but who are you trying to threaten me?"She didn't want to say another word to Spencer or even look at him. As she turned to leave, Spencer grabbed her arm again.Already irritated by his stalking and lurking, Ariana snapped. She yanked her arm away from him. "Spencer, can you stop this? We're over. If you keep acting like this, I'll lose whatever little respect I have left for you."Hearing her say she had no respect for him stung Spencer deeply. But he had brought all of this upon himself. If he felt this bad now, how would Ariana have felt back then? He had said far worse things to her in the past, after all.That thought made him feel a pang of heartache. Words wouldn't fix anything now, so he could only look at her and say, "Ari, just give me one more chance. I'll prove to you that I've changed. I will never do you wrong again."Ariana shook her head. "There are no more chances, Spencer. "How many times do I have to tell you? It's not th

For a man, that kind of rejection was the ultimate humiliation. Men were all the same. They never appreciated what they had until it was gone. The more unattainable something became, the more it stirred a restless desire. "Exactly!" Boa commented as she admired her freshly done nails. "That's just how men are—pathetic!"She looked over at Sienna. "Honestly, you were way too nice to Harrison. That's why he took advantage of it."Ariana and Sienna were both in Orkney, and Boa had packed up and come to join them.Seeing that Sienna seemed a little down, Ariana quickly spoke up, "Let's stop talking about the bad stuff. The three of us finally reunited tonight! So let's go out for some good food."Boa chimed in, "We'll eat well, for sure, but we also need to finish what we didn't last time."Ariana looked confused. "What are you talking about?"Sienna blinked at her, equally puzzled.For a moment, Boa felt a pang of guilt, like she was leading two innocent lambs astray.But then

Standing at the back of the group, as if he belonged, was none other than Spencer.Ariana couldn't believe it. How had he managed to follow her here, too?Boa was so stunned that she laughed. "Well, well, Mr. Ulrich! Did you have a switch in your career?"Unaware of what was happening, the two men in front finally noticed that Spencer wasn't one of the usual staff members at the private club.Spencer, however, had found a way to convince one of the employees to switch with him so he could get into the room. He looked at Ariana and said, "I'm only here to serve her."Still processing the bizarre situation, Sienna stared at Spencer in confusion. "Wait… Did the Ulrich family go bankrupt?"Ariana and Boa burst out laughing.Spencer clenched his jaw, keeping silent. He had hesitated before paying the guy off to get into the room. Back in Nordenton, he was a big deal, someone whose every move could impact the local economy. If word got out that he had stooped to something like this

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
