Spencer's face darkened when he saw Connor. "What are you doing here?"

"Just handling some business when I heard you were sick." Connor asked, "Is your stomach acting up again?"

Spencer was clearly drained, so he had no interest in engaging.

However, Connor made himself comfortable and sat down. "I heard Ariana's back. What's your game plan?"

Spencer frowned at him. "Didn't we already discuss this? You're too young to be having dementia."

Picking up on Spencer's distaste, Connor cut to the chase. "Look. If you're serious about getting back together with her, maybe I could invite her to dinner and apologize for everything."

Spencer knew he had messed up plenty in the past. Connor had said lots of inappropriate things around him, too. According to George, Connor had actually restrained himself in Spencer's presence.

When Spencer was not around, Connor's attitude toward Ariana had been downright nasty. Spencer had sensed something off about Connor's behavior back then, and it

    Dennis saw Connor, too. Noticing that he kept staring at Ariana, Dennis asked, "Is that someone you know?"Dennis had known Ariana for years and had never heard her speak ill of anyone. But this time, Ariana said flatly, "Someone I despise. He's not a good person at all." That immediately made Dennis frown. He took another look at Connor. Ariana did not just dislike him—she despised him. Knowing Ariana's character better than most, Dennis wondered just how awful someone had been to earn her disgust. Already concerned about Ariana's safety, Dennis became even more vigilant. Three days in Orkney and Connor could not manage even a single word with Ariana. Ariana heard that Spencer had gone back to Nordenton. Enrique had called her to tell her that Spencer was not doing well, physically or mentally. She could only sigh softly after hanging up. By the fourth day, Ariana was wrapping up her work at the research center and preparing to head back to Nordenton. Then, Zane showed up

    It was clear to Zane that Ariana was completely immune to both charm and pressure. Usually, he would have given up on someone this stubborn by now. But with Ariana, it only made the chase more exciting. He became even more motivated to pursue her. Following her to Nordenton would be too obvious, though. Besides, she would have to return to the research center eventually. And as the center's primary investor, opportunities would come.…Back in Nordenton, Ariana had barely settled in when Enrique called and asked her to stop by. Though she did not voice it, she was quite repelled by this idea. It was not about Enrique, as she trusted him completely. She just worried Spencer might be using Enrique as a go-between. But at Ulrich Estate, she realized she had been overthinking. Spencer was not even there. She even felt guilty about her suspicions toward him. Turned out, Enrique had a legitimate reason for calling. "Your father showed up with that adopted daughter of his after you

    Enrique became concerned. "What's wrong?" "Stomach pain." Spencer strode in. "Grandpa, Ari, enjoy your food. I just need to rest a bit." Finding Ariana at home was an unexpected joy. But Spencer held back, as he was afraid of scaring her off. Neither Enrique nor Ariana could focus on eating now. Enrique asked, "Did you take your medicine? Why is it acting up again? Have you been drinking?" Spencer glanced at Ariana and shook his head. "No." Ariana said, "There should be a medicine kit in the bedroom cabinet." Enrique asked, "Ari, could you help him look?" Ariana wanted to point out they could just bring the kit down since it was just upstairs. But upon seeing Enrique's hopeful expression, she could not bring herself to refuse.Following Spencer upstairs, she felt uneasy at first. But he simply got the medicine kit out. She found the right pills, and he took them. He stayed perfectly proper throughout their whole interaction and did not say a word more than necessary.

    Upon Ariana's return to Nordenton, Boa and Sienna immediately went over to her place. Jensen would have joined them as well had he not been occupied with surgery.As soon as they saw her return from Ulrich Estate with a box, they were both curious about what was inside.As soon as they opened it, they were dazzled by the gold and jewels inside. It turned out to be a jewelry box with several layers, each overflowing with precious pieces of jewelry.Sienna exclaimed, "Is all this jewelry yours? I don't think I've ever seen you wear any of these."Holding up a diamond necklace, Boa remarked, "It's not surprising she doesn't wear these. She's never been one for jewelry, after all. I guess Spencer is quite generous to let you take them back, though.""It's not all mine, though. I've never seen the one you're holding right now," Ariana said.Boa then chimed in, "And here I was, feeling confused as to how this limited edition necklace that was introduced last month somehow found its way

    With that in mind, Zane promptly arranged for several sets of jewelry to be sent over, asking Boa to deliver them to Ariana.Boa had never thought much of Zane and had no interest in helping him. And besides, she knew that Ariana wasn't someone materialistic. If she handed the jewelry over, Ariana would probably take offense at it.Having no other choice, Zane decided to take matters into his own hands. He went directly to Nordenton to look for Ariana and apologize to her.Ariana looked at him quizzically and asked, "What are you apologizing for?""Didn't Felicia give you an earful at the hotel last time? I've been thinking about it, and I feel like I should apologize for it…"Feeling rather amused by the situation, Ariana couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that all in the past now?""I simply couldn't move past it. I reflected on it and decided I should personally apologize for it. I hope you'll accept these as a token of my apology," Zane said, setting several jewelry boxes neatly i

    Zane had a bit of a roguish streak and often approached situations without regard for the norm. Yet, despite his reckless behavior, he still held onto some limits. However, while those limits existed, he couldn't help but feel resentment toward others' happiness when he was struggling.…A few people got together for dinner, thanks to Rowan's efforts.Upon hearing the news, Connor arrived and immediately pulled Rowan aside for a private chat.Rowan had a strained relationship with his family, marked by petty arguments and disagreements. He couldn't take it anymore, so he eventually left home to pursue his own venture.In recent years, Rowan had even managed to surpass the Stone family's accomplishments.In the past, no one from the Stone family thought much of him. Yet, now that he had made something of himself, they were eager to associate themselves with him.Connor had limited involvement, and their meetings were infrequent. However, when they did interact, Connor, being youn

    Zane then glanced at Connor and asked, "What does it matter to you if she has a boyfriend?""It's not that..." Connor trailed off, his gaze shifting to Spencer. "I'm just worried about Spence.""You don't have to worry about me." Spencer then got up to leave, saying, "You guys should eat up. I'll cover it."He had initially lost his appetite after seeing Zane in the private room. And now that he had brought up the news of Ariana dating, he made things even worse.It was obvious that Zane was simply there to give him a hard time.Hence, upon seeing Spencer's reaction, Zane, who had been feeling crappy, suddenly felt a lot better.At that moment, Rowan glanced at him and asked, "Are you pleased with yourself now?"Zane arched a brow and replied, "It's only the tip of the iceberg. It would be perfect if he goes and causes trouble with Ari, making her hate him even more. I've just taken out a love rival without even lifting a finger."Rowan then asked, "Isn't Ari's boyfriend your r

    Spencer gave a bitter smile. "Ari, please stop teasing me.""I'm not teasing you," Ariana replied seriously. "It's late, and you're wandering around downstairs. It's a bit unsettling."It was true. Wandering around someone's building late at night could easily make people think he was up to something suspicious, like staking out the place."Did you go shopping?" Spencer had no choice but to change the topic. "Be careful when you go out at night.""Without you around, I'm perfectly safe," Ariana said. "Mr. Ulrich, you should go home and get some rest. Goodbye.""Ari…" Spencer called after her, decided to be straight to the point, and asked, "Do you really have a boyfriend?""We've been divorced for over five years. Me having a boyfriend, or even getting married again, is perfectly normal," Ariana replied.Spencer couldn't believe it. Just the thought of Ariana being with someone else pricked his heart like a thousand tiny needles. Hearing her mention remarriage only made the ac

    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
