Somehow, Spencer was slightly angry. "We're a couple. Isn't it normal for me to sleep with my wife?"

"I refused, but you forced yourself on me. You'll be held legally responsible if you force yourself on your wife. You'd better not tell me that you're clueless about this!"

Spencer suddenly said, "Today, Jensen—"

Ariana grew more furious when he mentioned that. "You even hit my friend!"

Spencer couldn't help but retort, "Can you stop being unreasonable? Even if I was wrong last night, Jensen hit me first today! Did I tell him to come to the office so that I could beat him up?"

Ariana supposed Jensen had been the one who had initiated the fight.

Jensen really needed to control his temper.

Seeing that Ariana fell silent, Spencer said, "He told me the photo was taken from a certain angle. I misunderstood you guys."

Ariana was surprised to see that he had admitted his mistake.

"But you have to think about the Lubove family's businesses. If you still need my help, you should conta

    Ariana was in a trance for a second. She felt as though she had married a person she loved. The man lying next to her at the moment was in love with her, too.Just then, the phone rang and snapped her out of her thoughts.Spencer's eyes remained closed. He raised his arm and reached for the phone before answering, "Who is it?"After the person on the other end of the line said something, Spencer stood up and replied, "Jojo, don't cry. I'll be there right away."The blanket slipped down, revealing his chiseled chest, abs, and wide back. His shoulders were broad, and he had firm hips.Ariana sneered and snapped back to reality. Then, she kicked Spencer with her uninjured leg. Spencer was unprepared. Although he had had military training, he couldn't react in time and tumbled to the ground. He looked up and was confused. "Who told you to get on the bed?" Ariana's voice was icy. "What did you say last night? You shouldn't go back on our word. What did you promise me?"Spencer g

    Spencer couldn't muster up the courage to apologize. He didn't know how to face Ariana when he returned, so he ended up calling Enrique and unintentionally revealing the fact that she was injured.Knowing Enrique's character, he would definitely tell Ariana to return to Ulrich Estate. After that, he contacted Conner and gave him a good scolding. Upon learning the truth, Connor also felt that he deserved it.So, Connor came over again to find Ariana.Ariana felt irritated the moment she saw him. She'd never liked him since she was young.Although she couldn't remember anything when she was a toddler, she still recalled him bullying other girls when she was seven years old.From then on, Ariana had a bad impression of Connor.Not only that, he'd even gotten along with Spencer later on. Partners in crime and birds of a feather truly flocked together.In short, he was up to no good.Connor leaned against the doorframe. He twirled the car keys in his hand as he called out, "Aria

    Connor didn't expect Ariana to refuse Jacob's invitation in defiance.However, Jacob didn't seem displeased. "I won't keep you any longer," he said.Connor couldn't say anything else in front of him. He drove Jacob to the restaurant and called Spencer while they were still on the road.They arrived at the restaurant, only to realize that Spencer was already there.However, he wasn't alone.There was a delicately charming young lady seated beside Spencer. She giggled as she talked to him.Jacob frowned. Spencer stood up as he gave Jacob a high-five. Then, the three of them took their seats. Joanne spoke up before Jacob had the chance to ask, "Who's this, Spence? Is he a soldier? He looks so cool!"She hooked her arm around Spencer the moment she spoke. However, he made no move to pull away.Jacob's frown deepened."He's a good friend of mine. We grew up together, and now—" Jacob stood up before Spencer could finish his words. "Come out, Spence."Jacob was older than

    Joanne had burst into tears when Spencer received her call this morning. It turned out that she had been frightened by a bug in the house.She punched him. "I was scared!"All of a sudden, he recalled the time when he'd gone to find Ariana. She'd been dissecting a white rat then. Her icy gaze seemed to be devoid of any warmth as she moved her hands skillfully.Spencer snapped out of his daze. He patted Joanne's hand reassuringly when he saw the timid look in her eyes. "It's alright. I'm here."…Jacob hung up on the call at the end of the corridor outside of the private room. Then, he saw Connor.Walking over, Connor asked, "Some military affairs?"Jacob shook his head but didn't say anything. "What's the deal with Joanne? Why didn't you talk some sense into Spence when he's befuddled?"Connor smirked. "Looks like you didn't even take a look at what she looked like.""So what if she's beautiful?" Jacob continued, "There're plenty of beautiful women out there. He should settl

    "Considering Jacob's personality, aren't you worried about leaving Jojo with him?" Conner asked as he watched Jacob pull her away."What's there to be worried about?" Spencer replied. "If he wants to say something, then just let him. It's not a big deal."Connor smirked. "Well, it's not a big deal to you. I'm just afraid she'll have a hard time.""There's one thing…" Frowning, Spencer trailed off.Connor found it odd when Spencer hesitated to speak. "What's so hard for you to talk about?""It's just… How do you coax a woman?" Spencer asked.Smiling, Connor replied, "So you're thinking of coaxing Jojo later because you're afraid she'll be upset?"Spencer mumbled noncommittally. "You've asked the right person. I have my way around women," Connor declared.The two of them were chatting when Spencer's phone rang. He picked it up and said a few words before he hung up."Was that a call from Jacob?" Connor asked."He told me to call Ariana over to dinner tonight," Spencer said.

    "What plans could you possibly have?" Spencer's voice grew colder. "I told you we were holding a welcome dinner for Jacob. He specifically invited you.""So, should I be grateful?" Ariana asked. "Or should I get on my knees and thank him?"She had also tried to smooth things over with his friends when she first married him. But in the end, all she received was humiliation. It was clear from Connor's attitude toward her.Ariana could hardly care about Jacob now, so why would she bother with Spencer's other friends?"What's with that sarcastic tone, Ariana?" Spencer snapped. "I've already sent you a gift. What else do you want?"If it were a year ago… No. Not even a year. She couldn't even imagine herself quarreling with Spencer three months back."Nothing much," she replied. "I just find it all pointless now.""Great! Just great," he seethed. Then, he hung up on her. Although Ariana had finally stood up for herself, she still felt upset every time she confronted Spencer.She

    Jensen arrived earlier to pick up Ariana when she got off work. He grumbled a few words when she told him that she would attend the dinner. "Why are you having a meal with them? They're all scoundrels!""Jacob's back," she replied."He's back?" Only then did his expression ease slightly. "Well, he's the only one who's normal."Ariana had outpatient duties in the morning and ward rounds in the afternoon. Tired, she closed her eyes. "I'm going to take a shut-eye. Wake me up when we arrive."He snorted. "You'd better unbuckle the seatbelt on your own later, lest someone take another photo."Ariana remembered the photo Connor had sneaked of her. She couldn't help but scoff coldly when she recalled the bag Spencer had gifted her.Jensen knew she had a temper. However, she would only show it in front of the people who were closest to her.He smiled as he comforted her, "It's alright. Let bygones be bygones. Don't be angry anymore."Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Jensen escorted h

    Spencer couldn't voice out his grievances. There was no way he could say that Ariana had blocked his number twice.So, he let out a scoff and drank an entire glass of wine. Jacob shook his head. Then, he looked at Ariana."Could we talk in private, Ariana?" he asked.Spencer spoke up before she could react, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it here."Jacob glanced at him in surprise. Spencer hadn't reacted when Jacob told him he would be sending Joanne back in the afternoon. So, why did Spencer object now when he only wanted to speak with Ariana in private?Connor also looked over. Ariana smiled instead. "Sure. I'll wait for you outside." With that, she maneuvered her wheelchair and left. Spencer's expression darkened. Puzzled, Jacob looked at him. "What do you mean by that? Don't you trust me?"Spencer felt that Ariana had changed a lot recently. He already gave her a bag today. Joanne was clearly delighted when she received it, so why didn't Ariana re

    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
