Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League Chapter 419
"Why would I go out of my way to get involved with Zane?" Spencer said. "He's the one who's trying to rob the cradle by setting his sights on Ari." "If you ask me, it's not surprising that anyone would be interested in Ari, given how exceptional she is." Jacob scolded him instead, "I've wanted to ask you for years. Were you completely blind not to see how great Ari is?" Spencer's face contorted with pain. "Please stop." "If you know you're wrong, then repent with all your heart. Don't always let your pride get in the way. What's more important, winning your wife back or protecting your dignity? "A real man knows when to be humble and when to stand tall. You can be strong out there, but what's wrong with bowing down in front of your wife and her family?" Spencer took the advice to heart. Though he was feeling down, he could not help but quip, "You seem to understand so much. Why haven't you found a woman yet, then?" Spencer's last jab after Jacob had kindly consoled him near

"You're not so young anymore, so stop fooling around. Also, you should visit those places you took me and Sienna before less often in the future." "What's wrong with those places? I think they're fine." "What's fine about them? Rowan doesn't seem mild-tempered. Once or twice might be okay, but you'll hurt him if this keeps up. It'll be too late by the time you regret it." "That would be perfect, then! We'd just go our separate ways," Boa said. "That's exactly what I want!" "Watch what you're saying! How many good things have been ruined by that sharp tongue of yours? Others might not see it, but I know better. You clearly have feelings for Rowan." "Alright, now. You're so perceptive." Boa had an indifferent look on her face. "Let's not talk about this. Don't worry about my business. Let me ask you. Did Spencer show up?" "He did," Ariana said. "Not just Spencer, but also someone called Zane Marshall. I just found out that the necklace you lent me was actually his." "Who? Z

Ariana returned to Orkney for business. She had to sign some contracts and handle authorizations for some previous patents. This time, she did not bring Sienna and Boa along. Though they did not have urgent matters, she felt their lives should not revolve around hers all the time. She was also wary of Boa potentially dragging her to more nightlife spots. Besides, this Orkney trip would only take two to three days. She would be signing a contract with her previous research institute, which was being authorized for two of the patents. Other patents involved different business partners. Ariana had assumed contract signing would simply involve signatures and stamps in an office. She was surprised when she was invited to Evergreen Springs Resort instead. When she asked the institute about it, they explained the business partners wanted an opportunity to build a good relationship with her. Since she was the one being invited, Ariana agreed. Her initial assumption was not wrong—cont

Faced with their big boss, one clever girl said, "The lady who just left doesn't seem to like the smell of cigarettes."Zane finally looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. He had been smoking for 20 years and could not quit. He took another drag before turning to leave. He was not in a rush, as there would be more opportunities later.Less than ten minutes after he left, another guest came to check in at the front desk. The man was tall. He carried an air of elegance and an even more impressive physique. His face was as handsome as a movie star's but with an added air of nobility. After completing the check-in process, Spencer took his room key and headed upstairs. He had timed his arrival carefully in the hope that his room would be near Ariana's. He was not wrong, mainly because Zane had not dared to give Ariana the best room. Zane was afraid she might suspect something, and this actually worked out in Spencer's favor. Spencer had just stepped out of the elevator
Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League Chapter 423
Ariana took the elevator to her scheduled meeting. She briefly met with her business partners before returning straight to her room. First Zane, then Spencer. Staying put in her room would surely keep her out of trouble, right? She would leave right after signing the contract. Back in her room, she got another call from Boa. "That jerk Zane is there for you too. Watch yourself," Boa said bluntly."I know. I'm staying in and not going out. I'll leave as soon as I sign the contract," Ariana replied. Boa sighed. "You're just too amazing. These guys might not have much else going for them, but they've got good taste." Ariana chuckled softly. "I'm not that amazing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be divorced." "What are you talking about? You divorced because you didn't want that bastard Spencer, not because you got dumped. Besides, the fact he's still chasing you so hard just proves how great you are. "You think these rich guys are dumb? Their money didn't fall from the sky. They're s

Ariana said, "Mr. Marshall, since you're being direct, I'll do the same. I'm not interested in you. Sorry, but I'd prefer to keep things strictly professional.""Not even a small chance, Dr. Lubove?" "None," Ariana said. Zane laughed, a mix of amusement and irritation. This was the first time a woman was bold enough to shut him down like that. "Alright." He held up his toolbox. "How about we just be friends, then? Or at least let me fix your shower?" "Not interested." Ariana stood her ground. "I've made myself clear, and you heard me. There's no need for this. Please leave, Mr. Marshall."Zane had never been so thoroughly rebuffed in his life. As a kid, people respected him for his family's clout. As an adult, he had earned respect on his own. Now, here he was, being completely rejected by a woman. He nodded with a smile. "Fair enough, Ariana. You really are something else. Guess I was right about you." Ariana slammed the door in his face. Zane chuckled to himself outsi

"Who is it?" Ariana asked, not planning to open the door. "It's me, Ari," Spencer replied from outside. "What do you want?" Hearing the chill in Ariana's voice, Spencer sighed silently. He said, "Grandpa had a checkup last month. He wants you to look at the results." Even as she suspected Spencer might be using this as an excuse to see her, Ariana could not refuse. She opened the door. "What's wrong with Grandpa?" Spencer came in with the medical report. Ariana took it and started reading right away, not even sitting down. Enrique's results were mostly okay, just high blood lipids. His cholesterol and triglycerides were a bit elevated, especially the LDL. After reading, Ariana had a good idea of the situation. "I'll call Grandpa later." "There's one more thing I wanted to ask you." Seeing his serious face, Ariana did not hesitate to say, "Go on." "I got a few punches defending your honor earlier. Could you patch me up?" Ariana's brows furrowed instantly. "Defendin

"Just go.""Ari..." "I'm tired." Spencer got up and whispered as he walked past her, "I'm sorry." After he left, Ariana zoned out for a while. The doorbell rang again. She frowned, assuming it was Spencer back for more. She yanked the door open. "You—" But it was Zane standing at the door. His face looked as bad as Spencer's—they had clearly given as good as they got. Ariana wondered if he was here for first aid, too. She wished she had some poison handy to teach them a lesson. While she was still deep in thought, Zane asked, "Surprised to see me?""What do you want?" Ariana replied coolly. Despite his beaten face, Zane looked at ease. "Not going to invite me in?" "No," Ariana said bluntly. "Say what you need to say, or I'm closing the door." "Fair enough," Zane said calmly. "You're going to keep your promise, right?" Ariana was confused. "What did I promise?" "About the necklace. You said you'd treat me to dinner." Ariana sighed. She had meant it as a polite

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
