Chapter 0014 Until now , I had underappreciated Arias efforts .
I would attempt to rectify this view , when Aria gave up this foolishness and returned home .
I imagined it wouldnt be long now until she came back .
She might threaten divorce , but I doubted she would ever fully go through with it .
We were playing a little game .
Aria Telt unappreciated and was testing my limits .
She would find that while I was firmly against games , I also wasnt going to just let her p Its not just you who keeps Aria from returning home , Max told me .
Admittedly , upon reflection , I could admit that my underappreciation of her efforts wasnt the only reason shed left .
In fact , it was unlikely to even be the biggest reason .
I had treated her more or less the same for three years , and she seemed contented .
We werent as close as other couples , but we had been comfortable .
Some other recent change was what truly drove her away .
That change had to be Sheila .
Aria would likely return if I sent Sheila away , but I couldnt do that to Sheila .
After what Id done to her … I couldnt ignore her or her plight to restore her fertility .
Yet , at the same time , I couldnt go through with divorcing Aria .
I felt himself standing at an impasse , unsure of which direction to turn .
I was so distracted that the meeting passed by without my noticing , or giving much input .
It must have gone well enough though , as no one seemed particularly upset or annoyed at my lack of contribution .
As everyone packed up and dispersed from the meeting room , I lingered , reviewing the notes of the meeting .
trying to refocus .
It wasnt like me to become distracted while working .
This kerfuffle with Aria was throwing me off more than I realized .
Alpha ? said a familiar voice from the doorway .

I looked up to find Ben , my Beta , standing there , waiting for permission to approach .
I waved him forward .
Did you deliver the gift , Ben ? How did Dr.
A react ? After Sheilas rudeness during their meeting , I was determined to make amends .
To continue to manifest Dr.
As help and goodwill , we needed to maintain a good rapport with her .
Did you remember to treat her with the upmost respect ? Unfortunately , Sir , when I arrived , Dr.
A had already went home for the day .
However , I did leave the gift in her office , along with the card you prepared , so she should receive it the next time she returns to work .
Very good , I replied .
Ben lingered , which told me there was more .
Whatever it was must have been bad , for Ben to be so hesitant to report it .
Was there something else ? I prompted .
I hated wasting tiine .
Yes , Sir .
Though …..
Report , Beta , I said , taking a more authoritative tone .
Ben straightened slightly .
One of our contacts sent this over .
2011 Ben held out a photo from an instant camera .
The photo was slightly blurry and the flash made much of it too light in some spots and too dark in others .
Yet the central two figures were clear .
Aria , in a very short , sexy skirt , was standing next to Jasperat a bar .
They were leaning toward each other , Jasper was giving the flirtatious smile he was well known for .
Aria seemed to be blushing .
I froze in shock for one moment , my eyes wide , Then , my blood started to boil .
Inside , my wolf growled , Another male desires our mate ! When was this taken ? I asked .
Very recently .
Our contact rushed it over .
I looked up , tearing my eyes away from the photo .
My anger rose , twisting dangerously within me .
Get the car .
Were going to this bar .
Concern immediately filled Jaspers face .
But Alpha , that bar is a place for commoners ! I said , we are going .
With fury in my voice , I left no room for argument .
Now .
