Semua Bab Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League: Bab 171 - Bab 180

The rose petals fell all over Spencer and Ariana.Joanne's face darkened when she recognized the couple. "Why are you here?"Ariana was here to settle her past grievances with Connor. After all, he had made her suffer a lot. Hence, she had no intention of being polite to Joanne.She said, "That's strange. Even outsiders like you are allowed to attend Spencer's birthday party. Why am I not allowed as his legally married wife?"Joanne's face turned a shade darker as she heard Ariana's words.Her eyes reddened, and she looked at Spencer. "Spence, you know that's not what I meant."Before Spencer could respond, Ariana cut her off, "Then, why are you still blocking the door? Don't you want me to come in?"Spencer said, "Let's go in first."Looking upset and hurt, Joanne stepped aside, allowing Ariana to enter while linking arms with Spencer.Connor was also surprised by Ariana's arrival, especially since they appeared quite affectionate. They came hand in hand.He frowned and said

Ariana smiled and said, "If that's all, then I'll be going. After all, we're not on the same path. Different paths don't cross. So, enjoy yourselves.""Stop right there!" Spencer's face was ashen. "Who said you could leave?"Ariana raised an eyebrow. "What? Haven't you heard enough from me?"Joanne spoke up, "Ari, it's Spence's birthday. Don't make him upset. He already has a tough time at work.""You're absolutely right," Ariana said. "He has to deal with his wife at home and his flings outside. With such a busy schedule, it must be tough for him. Ms. Yates, you don't need to prepare coffee for him like usual. Maybe some supplements would do."Spencer grabbed her wrist. "Come with me!"Ignoring the reactions of those behind him, Spencer dragged Ariana out.Joanne also had a stern look. She remained silent.Connor glanced at her and said, "I'll check on them."Outside the door, Ariana shook off Spencer's grip.Spencer roared, "What are you trying to do? They're my friends. Yo

Even Connor was staring at Ariana.It was the first time Spencer had paid attention to Connor's gaze toward Ariana. He seemed to look at her with a mix of disdain and something else, but Spencer couldn't quite get it.Spencer didn't dwell on it. However, he clearly noticed the admiration in the other men's eyes.This was the most frustrating birthday he had ever experienced. Previously, his friends would have already started celebrating with him after midnight. Tonight, though, he was alone.The fact that Ariana had completely forgotten his birthday and hadn't prepared a gift for him only added to his frustration.Not knowing how much time had passed, Spencer called Ronan, "Where did Mrs. Ulrich go?"Ronan replied honestly, "She went to Ms. Jones' place."Spencer hung up the phone, and his expression turned a shade darker.Thinking of Sienna reminded him of Jensen. Ariana's relationship with them was enviably close.…Spencer spent the whole night awake, deep in thoughts.Th

"I'm just afraid Grandpa will hear us talking about divorce." Spencer sounded somewhat awkward. "It's not that I want to hug you."Ariana frowned. "Then, let go. I'm not cold.""Grandpa will scold me if you catch a cold." Spencer refused to let go. "Don't move."After a few moments of silence, Spencer asked, "Why aren't you talking?"Ariana didn't know what to say. After all, who would argue while being embraced?She said, "Let's go back. I want to sleep.""Speaking of sleeping," Spencer asked, "what did you mean by telling me to take supplements today?"Ariana replied, "I meant for you to rejuvenate and not to be so weak at such a young age.""Others might not know, but I'm sure you know how strong I am."Before Ariana could reply, he suddenly picked her up in a bridal carry.Ariana gasped and clung to his neck. "What are you doing?"Spencer looked down at her. "What do you think I'm doing? Since you're worried about my health, I have to show you how strong I really am."A

Ariana lowered her gaze and said, "You know, he's my first love and the only person I've ever truly liked. Over the years, my feelings for him have become like a part of me. Extracting those lingering feelings from my heart is incredibly painful."Boa hugged her and said, "You have to go through the pain to be reborn, but that new beginning is worth it. Ari, I believe in you. Hang in there."Boa also heard from Sienna that Ariana had made some new friends and was eager to meet them.Ariana wasn't keen on getting too close to Gerald. But to her surprise, Sienna had already brought Boa to meet Gerald. By the time Ariana found out, Boa and Gerald were already close friends.According to Boa, Gerald might not be perfect, but he was still much better than Spencer. She urged Ariana to divorce Spencer as soon as possible. As for whether Spencer would end up with Joanne or someone else after the divorce, that didn't matter. There were plenty of good men in the world. She advised her not
