Chapter 132

Author: Cloud Drop
While Aria's quick remarriage after their divorce certainly irritated him, what mattered most and bothered him the greatest was having his CEO position stolen from him.

Susan was about to offer some advice when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Susan looked up alertly, only to see Melvin bringing Ryan with him—both men standing at the doorway.

Melvin was frowning, his face carrying a hint of coldness. Ryan's expression remained impassive as he met Susan's searching gaze and gave only a slight nod.

"Sorry, I may have come at a bad time." Ryan looked toward Larry and continued, "But Uncle Melvin said that since I just returned to the country, he wanted to bring me back to the Spencer house for dinner. I hope I'm not disturbing Auntie and... Larry?”

Larry's face darkened, and Susan's expression changed as well.

"Not at all, not at all. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I'll have the housekeeper prepare dinner right away."

Susan quickly forced a smile and approached them.

    "Aria, you need to understand that the Jackson family has already fallen. If it weren't for the Spencer family helping us, your brother and I might have been in trouble long ago. They didn't care about your background and were willing to marry you—you should be grateful..."It was still the same old rhetoric.As if marrying her meant she should spend her entire life being grateful and serving the Spencer family.But if it weren't for the Spencer family, she wouldn't have remained unknown for three years.If it weren't for the Spencer family, she would have already become Professor Claire's student.The Spencer family helped the Jackson family, but hadn't they also destroyed her?Aria's eyes dimmed. No matter how earnestly Rachel tried to persuade her, Aria just shook her head and said, "Since I chose to divorce Larry, I won't remarry him.""There's no future between him and me."She laid out the conclusion so directly in front of Rachel, her words carrying a hint of cruelty."

    Anyone else would have been annoyed by now.Only Ethan was so frustrated he nearly choked on his breath, cursing, "You lovesick fool!""Thanks for the compliment."Who was complimenting you!Absolutely no one was complimenting you!Ethan couldn't take it anymore. He felt that Archer had never been decent, and after getting married, he was even worse. He opened the car door to leave when Archer stopped him."Wait."He actually waited, expecting Archer to say something."How well do you know Rachel Williams?"Rachel Williams—Aria's mother, currently staying at Harbour Hospital where Ethan was her attending physician.Oh, so it was all about his wife again.Ethan's lips twitched before he slowly replied, "You don't even know your own mother-in-law and you expect me to?"So he didn't know much either.Ethan was useless then. Archer glanced at him once—okay, Ethan got the message. He was being dismissed."Wait a moment.""Ronald and Wesley keep asking when you're planning to

    Her nose touched his as her lips landed on his cool ones, the gentle kiss seeming to chase away the last trace of displeasure in his heart."Mr. Duncan is certainly not embarassing at all—it's just that I haven't told my mother yet, and I don't want her to hurt you." She had never taken such bold initiative before, let alone kissing someone first.She felt her palms trembling, yet she still cupped the man's face.Their eyes met, hers carrying obvious warmth, somewhat uncomfortable and bashful."Mr. Duncan can understand, right?"After speaking, her blushing cheek pressed against the corner of his eye. He closed his eyes briefly, still feeling the warm touch at the corner of his eye.She was coaxing him.This realization completely dispelled the coldness in his heart.He grasped Aria's hand in return, his heated breath now washing over her face. Aria's ears burned hot, her entire face flushed red.So close together, she looked into his eyes through his glasses. There was a hint

    Archer gave a quiet hum and picked up the honey water to drink.After finishing most of it, he suddenly stopped and looked up with a half-smile. "Do you know that when you came to pick me up, it felt like I was a husband under his wife's care?"Aria's face immediately flushed red. She lowered her head and mumbled quietly, "That's not what I meant.""It's fine if that's what you meant." He had finished the drink completely, his eyes still carrying a hint of amusement."I should be a husband under your care anyway."Hearing this, Aria's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat. When she looked up at him again, she could only see the gentleness in his eyes.During her three years married to Larry, she often heard him say, "Aria, you married me, so you have to listen to me." Even Larry's mother Susan would constantly tell her that marrying into the Spencer family meant obeying the Spencers.But Archer was different.He said he was a husband under her care."Is this where you usually live?"

    Henry, deeply worried about his job performance, nervously called Archer. "Boss, where are you? Your car's gone too?"In the car, Archer remained completely calm and composed. "If you're not feeling well, rest properly. If it's serious, go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't worry about things on my end."With that, he hung up.Henry stared at his phone in bewilderment, wondering if it was broken.What had his boss just said?Unable to shake his worry that something might be wrong, Henry called his colleague Kent for help. "What did the boss mean?"His colleague was currently sitting in the coffee shop enjoying desserts. Hearing Henry's question, he clicked his tongue."Dude, are you dense? The boss's wife is here—what do you think he needs you for?"The two of them are driving home together, and you want to be a third wheel?"Even if you've never dated, you must have watched some romance shows. Do you know what you sound like?"A desperate single guy trying to get in their

    Kent didn't think much of it and actually drove to Regent Garden.Aria waited at a coffee shop across from Regent Garden, choosing a window seat with a perfect view of the main entrance. She ordered a black coffee while Kent, who had a sweet tooth, ordered five different mini cakes, which made Aria can't help but give him a second look."Kent, how do you stay so thin when you love sweets this much?" People with that kind of metabolism were truly enviable.Kent took a bite of the freshly served tiramisu and grinned. "I hit the gym when I get home at night. I don't eat like this every day—just indulging occasionally."Working out at night just to justify eating sweets—he really did love his desserts.Aria checked the time, figured it was about right, paid the bill and left. She waited by the roadside across from Regent Garden's entrance.The summer night breeze carried a hint of sultry heat. The street lights were bright, and the surrounding buildings were all lit up—the usual bust
