The next morning, Ariana had a fever.When Enrique asked the maids to get medicine, he learned that Spencer had left in the middle of the night. Furious, he called Spencer, demanding he return immediately.Last night, Spencer had lost control. In a struggle with Ariana, they had fallen off the couch. When he looked up, he saw the cold and hateful look in Ariana's eyes. At that moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of panic.Seizing the opportunity while he was dazed, Ariana pushed him away and ran out. She went to the study, where the heating had been turned off. Since she was only in her loungewear, she ended up catching a cold.Not wanting to worry Enrique, she stayed in the study until around 5:00 am before stumbling back to her room. She got into bed, feeling strangely alone. She then slept deeply until after 7:00 am, when a maid knocked on her door to wake her up.Enrique was waiting for them to come down for breakfast. When they didn't show up, he had the maids call them. Th

Spencer looked at Ariana. "'Perfect timing'? You and her? Do you think you can compare to her? Ariana, are you even worthy?""Worthy of what? What makes her unworthy?"Startled, both of them turned to see Enrique approaching."What are you two talking about?" Enrique asked, having caught only the last part of Spencer's sentence. "Spencer, have you upset Ari again?"Spencer looked pale.Ariana quickly responded, "Grandpa, we were just discussing… a game. He said I couldn't beat him, which is really irritating."Enrique glared at Spencer. "You should be more considerate of Ari! When you were young, you always saved the best food for her. You'd cry if we stopped you from keeping it!"Spencer was taken aback. "Grandpa, come on. When did I ever cry?"Ariana was curious. "Saving food for me? I don't remember that."Enrique chuckled. "You were too young to remember. He was young, too. The first time he saw you, he said you'd be his wife. He'd follow you around with his short legs, an

After thinking it over, Ariana decided not to approach Spencer. It wouldn't change a thing, anyway. It didn't mean much, even if he had feelings for her back then.The fact remained that Spencer didn't like her now. There was no reason to dig into the past and risk getting embarrassed by him.However, Ariana couldn't help pondering about it.She was still troubled by it when Spencer came back. She simply couldn't clear her mind.…Ariana felt much better after resting for a day. She had dinner and was told by Enrique to go to bed early.They both went to their bedroom. Spencer glanced at her and met her eye but quickly looked away. While he worked on his laptop, she picked up her phone to look up some information. They avoided each other.Ariana couldn't help it and finally broke the silence, asking, "Do you know how to do wood carving?"Spencer didn't respond.They were both on opposite ends of the couch, with a large space in between. Ariana tilted her head to look at him.

The next morning, Ariana's cold had surprisingly recovered.She went back to work, and Jensen brought her a lot of fruit.Ariana said helplessly, "I can't eat this much.""Fruits are good for replenishing vitamins and preventing getting sick," Jensen said. "Keep the ones you like, and share the rest with your colleagues."Jensen had brought her some deep red cherries, which were as big as paper shell walnuts. They were really juicy.Ariana remembered Enrique had mentioned Spencer delivering some fruits from abroad for her. She didn't believe it.Before leaving, Jensen said, "I have surgery today, so I can't accompany you for lunch. Sisi is nearby for errands, and she'll come over. Make sure to eat well, okay?"Ariana smiled. "Got it."…At noon, Sienna indeed came to find Ariana.They went to a restaurant near the hospital. With the New Year approaching, Sienna was less busy. She had already discussed designs and details for the New Year's clothes with her clients well in a

Ariana seemed confused."I left them downstairs. Why?""I got them for you. Aren't you going to take them with you?"Ariana replied, "Aren't they just a free gift from the flower shop?"Spencer was even more frustrated. "So what? Are you just going to disregard something someone gave you?"Ariana almost laughed in exasperation. "How should I cherish them? Should I carry them up and sleep with them?""You're completely unreasonable!"Ariana thought he was getting absurd again and didn't want to argue. She asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"Spencer grew annoyed. "Do you know what day it is today?"Ariana replied, "What day?""Tomorrow is my birthday," Spencer said through gritted teeth. "Don't you know?""Well, you just said it's tomorrow," Ariana uttered. "So what does today have to do with it?"Spencer was too proud to directly ask her what gift she had prepared for him, even though he was eager to know. On the other hand, Ariana, who would usually prepare
