Semua Bab Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Shortly afterward, Ariana and Sienna arrived at the restaurant, one after the other.The two and Boa went ahead and ate first since they were not sure what time Jensen would get there. They were long-time friends who wouldn't get mad over something like this.Boa began, "Cheers to Ari's bright future!"Sienna added, "That's right! Staying away from a cheater is good for your health and gives you a brighter future!"Ariana beamed and raised her glass. "Thank you."The three of them laughed and chattered away. Suddenly, Sienna tugged Ariana's sleeve.Ariana asked curiously, "What's the matter?"Sienna replied, "Look behind you."Ariana glanced over her shoulder and spotted a familiar face.It had been quite some time since she last saw Joanne. The last time Ariana heard of her news was probably when Sienna shared about how Joanne was showing off the New Year's gift she got from Spencer on Instagram.Ariana was so busy preparing for her divorce and trip abroad that she completel

Spencer used to be very gentle and caring to Joanne. Ariana could still recall vividly the moment when he carried Joanne in his arms and rushed her to the hospital. However, Ariana snickered as she looked at the lady standing beside Spencer. She felt like she had found the answer.It wasn't like Spencer was always cold to the ladies. To be exact, he had found another replacement that bore a greater resemblance to his unrequited love.Thus, Joanne no longer held any value in his eyes.Ariana was glad she had escaped that bottomless swamp. If she were still in love with Spencer, she would feel so miserable now after seeing Spencer find a new replacement.Yet, she simply felt disgusted at the moment.Spencer thought his tactic had somehow worked when he noticed the disgruntled look on Ariana's face.He tore his gaze away from Ariana and looked down at Shanice. He then said in a gentle voice, "Didn't you say you like the food here? Should I just buy the entire restaurant?"Shanice

Spencer would ask Ariana impatiently every time, "Are you still not done throwing tantrums?"This time, she was the one asking that question.Spencer didn't think he was being rude and unreasonable. He pointed at Ariana. "I'll give you one last chance…""Thanks, but no, thanks." Ariana smirked."Spencer Ulrich, you were in love with someone else during our marriage. You shared close relationships with other women, and you were always cold to me. I can't forgive any of those behaviors."Being able to divorce you is both refreshing and liberating. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am now."Ariana dropped her gaze but soon lifted her head again. She had a cold and distant look in those orbs."Mr. Ulrich, we should each live a happy, separate life. Let's not see each other anymore."Then, she got up and walked away.After a brief pause, Gerald picked up Ariana's bag and coat before hurrying after her.An uncomfortable silence hung in the room. Everyone in the restaurant

Yet, if Spencer were to be honest with himself, the number of times he thought about the person gradually reduced after he married Ariana.Especially in the last six months, Spencer hadn't once found himself missing that person as he spent his days bickering with Ariana. He could even say that he had never suffered a sense of longing for that person ever since he started harboring feelings for them.Instead, since their separation, Ariana was all Spencer could think about, even though he hadn't seen her for just a few days.However, Spencer didn't think that this was him missing her. He was convinced it was Ariana's devious tricks that got him so hung up on her.What Jacob just said finally got Spencer questioning himself.Jacob was right. Why hadn't he thought about pursuing that person instead? He was divorced and single again. It was completely fine for him to start a new relationship.However…Spencer couldn't find any trace of joy or excitement in him after listening to Jac

He wondered when he started having a change of heart."Also, the things that happened when we were younger… Didn't I bully Ariana because I thought she was annoying? The truth was I liked her and wanted her attention, so…" Spencer pondered.He recalled quite a few things.Spencer remembered how he did enjoy making Ariana upset back then. One of the reasons he did that was probably because he liked seeing the different expressions Ariana would show on her face. Another important reason was that he was angry at Ariana for only spending time with Jensen.Spencer was no fool. He just had not realized his true feelings until now.After receiving some advice and guidance, he had a dawning realization.In other words, Spencer had liked Ariana ever since they were still kids. Since he was jealous of Jensen and Ariana spending a lot of time together, he resorted to doing various things to annoy Ariana.Unfortunately, his actions only made the relationship between him and Ariana's group g
