Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League Chapter 426
"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

Boa explained the situation to Ariana. Ariana thought for a moment and understood. Rowan and Zane were in cahoots. Zane must have called Rowan to bring Boa here, who probably had no idea why. Ariana decided not to tell Boa, as she did not want to cause a fight between her and Rowan. They bickered enough as it was, and Ariana did not want to be the reason for another argument. Sure enough, she soon got a message from Zane. "Ready for dinner now?" Half an hour later, the four of them were seated in the resort restaurant. Zane's gaze on Ariana was intense and unabashed. Ariana did not look at him, but she could feel his eyes on her. After a couple of glances, Boa was fuming. "What are you staring at? Have some manners!" Zane had always been brazen even in his youth. Now that he had made a name for himself, what did he have to be cautious about? He grinned and said, "Can't a man appreciate beauty?" His blatant flirting infuriated Boa. "How shallow! No wonder Ari's not inter

Rowan looked to Ariana for help. Sure enough, Ariana spoke up, "Boey, you should go. I'll be fine." "What could possibly be so urgent at his place?" Boa scoffed. "This is probably just something they cooked up together. Let's not fall for it!" The two men were at a loss dealing with Boa. In the end, Ariana managed to convince her to leave. After all, Zane had not finished eating yet. Ariana could not just up and leave. With the third wheel finally gone, Zane felt like he could breathe easier. He wanted to light up a cigarette but held back. He had noticed Rowan, another heavy smoker, had not lit up, either. It was probably because of Boa. If Rowan could resist, so could he. "It's so hard to just have a meal with you, Ari." Ariana replied, "Mr. Marshall, you and I are from different worlds. And please, just call me by my name." "Everyone else calls you Ari. Even Rowan does. Why can't I?" Rowan only did that because Boa did so. Ariana did not want to argue about it. They

When Spencer heard that Zane was having dinner with Ariana, he rushed over. But when he found Ariana sitting alone at a table set for four, he felt somewhat relieved. Ariana was still there because she had agreed to be friends with Zane. She had realized that Zane was the type to do whatever he wanted regardless of anyone's opinions. He had a roguish air about him that Spencer lacked. With Spencer, Ariana felt confident enough to yell or fight back. But Zane... She did not dare provoke him. Given the choice, being friends was definitely the safer option. Once she wrapped things up here, she would pick up her son and bury herself in the lab for months. She would not see any "friends" for a long time. And Zane would surely lose interest eventually. That was her plan, anyway. Then, she looked up and saw Spencer. As one headache left, another arrived. With Zane, Ariana had felt a bit guilty. But with Spencer, she would not give him an inch. She grabbed her phone and got up to lea

Connor had been more restrained in front of Spencer. But Spencer could still tell that the former had repeatedly put down Ariana while praising Irene. Whatever was going on between Spencer and Ariana was their business as a couple. Connor had clearly overstepped. But it was obvious why Connor dared to do this—it was because of Spencer's own attitude. George said, "Girls are sensitive. Who wouldn't be hurt hearing that stuff? So Ari's angry. Your pursuit might be tough, but don't give up. Where there's a will, there's a way. You know that better than I do." Spencer replied, "I'm not discouraged, and I'm not giving up. I asked you out to get advice on how to win her back." "You've come to the right person," George said. "I may not be an expert on much, but I've got winning over women down to a science."… While they were discussing Connor, the subject of the talk was totally unaware that Spencer was now avoiding him. He had been busy contacting Irene these days. Connor had

Boa appeared with a chuckle when she saw Ariana. Weirded out by Boa's reaction, Ariana asked, "Did you hit the jackpot or something?" "Oh, please! That's nothing," Boa said. "You'll never guess who I just ran into." "Since you were at the Stone residence..." Ariana asked, "Was it Connor?" "That's right!" Boa said. "God, I'm still cracking up about it!" The whole thing started when Rowan had conveniently taken Boa away from their double date. He was secretly trying to give Zane some alone time with Ariana. But Boa was not that stupid. Rowan had planned out the whole thing in advance. He took her to meet his own grandmother, who happened to be Connor's grandmother, too. They saw Connor before they even met the grandmother. When Connor saw Boa, he was first shocked that she actually knew his uncle. He then felt pure disgust toward her. After all, this was the same woman who used to have zero problems putting him in his place whenever she was with Ariana back then.He greete

Spencer knew full well that Boa would not say anything good about him to Ariana. With Boa there, he would not stand a chance at pleasing Ariana. He held out a small box. "Ari, this is for you." Ariana did not take it. "What is it?" He explained, "Grandpa noticed you coughing when you visited. He asked me to bring this to you." With the recent temperature drop and all her running around, Ariana's throat had been feeling sore. She would certainly refuse if it was just something from Spencer, but not if it came from Enrique. She took the box. "I'll call Grandpa afterward." Standing beside her, Boa cut in, "Got any other business here? If not, get lost!" Ariana needed to head to the research center, and Boa tagged along. She had originally planned to sign the contract and head back to Mauris, but some issues came up at the institute that needed her help. This meant she would probably be stuck in Orkney for a few more days. It was nearly dark by the time Ariana got back to h

Spencer's face was deceptively disarming. He was still extremely handsome, even with the fresh bruises from his fight with Zane. If anything, the injuries just added a hint of rugged charm to his handsome features. Felicia's anger deflated the moment she saw him. Her fierce expression melted into a blush, like a shy schoolgirl. She lowered her fist from the door, smoothed her uniform, and put on a pitiful look. "Who are you? Do you know the woman in there?"Spencer completely missed the change of expressions on her face. He merely asked, "Why are you causing such a racket here?" "I wasn't causing a racket." Felicia pouted. "That woman in there is seducing my dad. I'm here to confront her!" "Who are you looking for? Your father?" "Why would I be looking for my father?" Felicia became frustrated. "I'm here to deal with that woman!" Spencer eyed her with amusement. "Given your age, your father must be in his 40s or 50s, right? Does he have Alzheimer's, or is he paralyzed? Why

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
