Spencer looked grim. "Who did it?"Ariana looked at him in amusement. "Are you asking me? Do you think that I did it?"He didn't say anything. He wasn't an idiot. He knew that Ariana wouldn't do something like that.He wanted her, but she was the one who kept refusing his advances. It wouldn't make any sense for her to give him aphrodisiacs. Ariana asked, "Have you guessed who it was?"Spencer suddenly asked, "What happened to my face?"It had only felt cold a moment ago, but now, it had begun to hurt.Ariana felt like laughing.Spencer was drenched, and his hair was wet, too. His face was swelling up where Jensen had hit him.He would look completely ridiculous if it wasn't for how handsome he was.Ariana said, "Let's go."Spencer was slow to catch on. "Where are we going?""To the hospital! Where else would we go?" She glared at him. "What if this thing has other side effects?"Spencer sat down at the side of the bed. "Help me up."Ariana put aside her own emotions and

Spencer was wearing a mask. He glanced at Joanne.She blinked and said, "I don't want to trouble you, but I really don't know what else to do. Spencer, can you help me? It's fine if you can't. It's my fault for being a useless sister.""Don't put yourself down," Spencer said. His voice was rather hoarse. "I'll take care of it."Joanne immediately cried out, "Spencer, did you catch a cold?"Spencer realized that someone must have hit him last night. He could guess who had been bold enough to do so. However, when he pieced together the events that had taken place, he realized that Ariana had almost caught him in bed with Joanne. It hadn't been his intention, and he was also the victim, but he didn't mind getting punched by Jensen if it would make Ariana feel better.After getting doused with cold water and going to the hospital, it had taken a toll on his health, and he had come down with a cold.Jensen had punched him and poured cold water all over him, and Spencer made a ment

The newcomer had a mask on, but he was tall and elegant, and his legs were very long. No one would ever be able to emulate that regal quality he had to him.It was Spencer.Gerald had seen him, too. He turned an intense gaze on him for just a second, then smiled. "Mr. Ulrich."Spencer gave off an aloof, indifferent air. "Mr. Kirkland."He pulled Ariana into his arms. "What would you like to see my wife about, Mr. Kirkland?""There's something I need her help with, so I was asking her out to lunch. Would you like to join us, Mr. Ulrich?""Has Grandpa called you?" Spencer looked at Ariana. "We're going to Ulrich Estate tonight.""He's called." Ariana pushed his hand aside gently, but she didn't embarrass him in front of Gerald. "I'm in my scrubs. Don't touch me."Spencer pulled her back forcefully. "I'll come and pick you up tonight. Can you get off work now?"As Spencer had ignored him, Gerald had no choice but to look at Ariana. He smiled awkwardly. "Ari, since you're busy,

Spencer pulled Ariana over roughly and pressed her hard against the cupboard. "Ariana, you're going too far!""That's beside the point." Ariana's tiny face was stony as she looked at him. "If you're thinking of someone else while sleeping with me, then it's—""Shut up!" Spencer yelped. It seemed to be a sore point with him, and the menacing look on his face intensified. "Say that again if you dare!""Am I wrong?" Ariana met his eyes, forcing herself to confront the rage in his eyes. It had only been a throwaway comment, and she hadn't even mentioned that person, but Spencer was already reacting so strongly.It was clear how important that person was to him.Ariana faced Spencer's overwhelming rage as if she were punishing herself.The angrier he was, the more it showed how deeply she had been hidden in the depths of his heart. He couldn't even stand hearing her name mentioned by anyone else.Spencer took a deep breath, but he couldn't suppress his fury.He was angry because A

Spencer felt irritated. It was one thing for him not to want children, but Ariana's attitude annoyed him."Grandpa wants us to have children. What's your opinion on it?" he asked. "Do you want children, too? Don't you want to strengthen your position as the lady of the Ulrich family?"In the past, Ariana had imagined what it would be like to have Spencer's child.At the time, she had been giddy and full of anticipation at the mere idea of it. Although she had known that Spencer didn't have feelings for her, the thought of having a child who had Spencer's blood running in their veins and who might even resemble Spencer had filled her with joy. Now, however…She had completely lost hope in Spencer, and children were out of the question. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Spencer's tone was irritated. "Did I guess correctly?""Whatever you say," Ariana said. "Whether I want children or not, my position's pretty secure right now, isn't it? You don't want to get divorced, after
