Semua Bab Sorry, but I'm Out of Your League: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Upon Ariana's return to Nordenton, Boa and Sienna immediately went over to her place. Jensen would have joined them as well had he not been occupied with surgery.As soon as they saw her return from Ulrich Estate with a box, they were both curious about what was inside.As soon as they opened it, they were dazzled by the gold and jewels inside. It turned out to be a jewelry box with several layers, each overflowing with precious pieces of jewelry.Sienna exclaimed, "Is all this jewelry yours? I don't think I've ever seen you wear any of these."Holding up a diamond necklace, Boa remarked, "It's not surprising she doesn't wear these. She's never been one for jewelry, after all. I guess Spencer is quite generous to let you take them back, though.""It's not all mine, though. I've never seen the one you're holding right now," Ariana said.Boa then chimed in, "And here I was, feeling confused as to how this limited edition necklace that was introduced last month somehow found its way

Zane had a bit of a roguish streak and often approached situations without regard for the norm. Yet, despite his reckless behavior, he still held onto some limits. However, while those limits existed, he couldn't help but feel resentment toward others' happiness when he was struggling.…A few people got together for dinner, thanks to Rowan's efforts.Upon hearing the news, Connor arrived and immediately pulled Rowan aside for a private chat.Rowan had a strained relationship with his family, marked by petty arguments and disagreements. He couldn't take it anymore, so he eventually left home to pursue his own venture.In recent years, Rowan had even managed to surpass the Stone family's accomplishments.In the past, no one from the Stone family thought much of him. Yet, now that he had made something of himself, they were eager to associate themselves with him.Connor had limited involvement, and their meetings were infrequent. However, when they did interact, Connor, being youn

Spencer gave a bitter smile. "Ari, please stop teasing me.""I'm not teasing you," Ariana replied seriously. "It's late, and you're wandering around downstairs. It's a bit unsettling."It was true. Wandering around someone's building late at night could easily make people think he was up to something suspicious, like staking out the place."Did you go shopping?" Spencer had no choice but to change the topic. "Be careful when you go out at night.""Without you around, I'm perfectly safe," Ariana said. "Mr. Ulrich, you should go home and get some rest. Goodbye.""Ari…" Spencer called after her, decided to be straight to the point, and asked, "Do you really have a boyfriend?""We've been divorced for over five years. Me having a boyfriend, or even getting married again, is perfectly normal," Ariana replied.Spencer couldn't believe it. Just the thought of Ariana being with someone else pricked his heart like a thousand tiny needles. Hearing her mention remarriage only made the ac

Spencer's seafood chowder was delicious and beyond Ariana's expectations."Is this all you made?" Ariana asked after finishing half a bowl. "How can anyone be full of just this?"Spencer clearly hadn't expected the lady who initially wouldn't let him in was now making demands. He paused before asking, "What else would you like to have?""You don't even know what I usually have for breakfast, and is this how you plan to pursue someone?"With that, Ariana finished her chowder and stood up. "Close the door on your way out. Thanks."As she left, Spencer felt the room empty.He might have felt better if she had refused or shown any sign of emotion. He could have told himself that she still had feelings for him, as she was affected. But Ariana's reaction was as if she had completely moved on and saw him as just an ordinary man. Ariana had no idea what Spencer was thinking. She went to the hospital and met with Jensen.When she finished and came out, she found Dennis waiting by the c

Connor had indeed done quite a few things. Back then, no one paid much attention to what he did.But when all his actions and words were pieced together, it became clear how much he had contributed to Ariana and Spencer's divorce.More than once, Conner told Spencer that Ariana had poor character and they weren't suited for each other—that they were not a good match.Spencer now found it ironic. He even thought Connor's words made some sense back then.Comments like "You can't spoil women, or they'll become arrogant", or "Ariana is great at playing hard to get", or "Ariana and Jensen are way too close".Connor had said these comments countless times.Spencer had never thought much of Connor's dissatisfaction with Ariana. Connor was on his side, and Ariana was close to Jensen, who was someone their group didn't get along with.But thinking about Jacob, George, and the others in their circle, none of them ever said Ariana had a bad character, even if they weren't friendly with her
