Divorce: His Biggest Regret 186
Chapter 186Patrick Banks ~•~I didn’t even know what to say to Valerie. How could I even defend myself? I shouldn’t have trusted Madison. She knew exactly what she was doing. It wasn’t just a coincidence.Even though I had no idea how she found out about my location, I knew that everything was planned. I had been in Paris for over two days and the paparazzi didn’t take any pictures of me. I’m sure they didn’t even know who I was. But just five minutes with Madison and I was all over the news in New York. Shit, I’m sure it wasn’t any paparazzi. It was just a random person that she had sent. Fury surged through me but I tried my best to mask it. I let out a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “Valerie,” I began slowly. “I know that it looks bad but I promise you, it’s not what you think,” I added, trying to reason with her. I heard her chuckle on the other end of the line. It was clear that she didn’t believe me. “Madison and I didn’t come to Paris together. I met her here

Chapter 185Patrick Banks ~•~“Daddy, when are you coming back home?” Liam’s worried voice echoed from the other end of the line. “Why did you leave without telling us?” Before I could even open my mouth to speak, Noah chimed in on the conversation. “That’s really unfair.” I let out a deep sigh. “I’m sorry, I won’t disappear on any of you again. I’m really really sorry.” “Did you leave because you’re fighting with Uncle Jordan?” Liam’s question caught me off guard. “Yes,” I admitted, my voice low. I didn’t want to lie to him. After ghosting them for two days, the least I could do was tell the truth. “Oh,” Liam muttered. “Why are you fighting with your best friend?” He asked curiously. But I couldn’t tell him that part. I responded with a chuckle. “It’s adult stuff, I can’t talk to you about it.” “But I’m almost an adult.” I could already picture the frown on Liam’s face. “Almost? We will talk about it when you’re an adult.” Liam wasn’t impressed with my answer but he didn’

Chapter 184Patrick Banks ~•~I couldn’t believe that Patrick was in Paris. When the investigators at the station called to tell me, I was stunned and scared at the same time. What the hell was he doing in Paris? I thought something had happened to him. Then, I thought the bad people took him to Paris for a second. But then, he called me. And when he told me that he went to Paris just to clear his head, I was livid. I honestly didn’t even know how to react. I just found it odd that he would pull such a move. Liam and Noah had been crying because he was nowhere to be found. I kept on giving them excuses at first, but it didn’t take long before they caught the hint that Patrick was missing. We were all worried about him. Nobody heard from him for almost three days. And all he could say was that he needed to clear his head? My anger was simmering just beneath the surface. Jordan and I had spent so much time and resources just to find someone who was chilling in Paris. Even i

Chapter 183Patrick Banks ~•~After I left the wedding, I went straight to the airport. Without hesitation. With no second thoughts, I bought a flight ticket to Paris. I just wanted to leave for a few days and clear my head. And most importantly, I didn’t want to tell anyone about it. I knew it was a selfish move, but I had to do what was best for me. I turned off my phone as soon as I got on the plane. I intentionally didn’t use the private terminal because I didn’t want anybody from the family to figure out where I was headed. All I wanted was silence, distance, and the anonymity of being just another man boarding a plane. As I sat in my seat, I leaned my head back and shut my eyes. As the plane took off, I felt a little bit guilty about what I was doing. I thought about the kids. They would wake up and wonder where I was and why I had disappeared. I didn’t tell anybody where I was going. Not even Valerie. I just wanted peace. I shoved the guilty thoughts aside. I had to

Chapter 182Valerie Will~•~I couldn’t believe that Patrick didn’t show up. Was he out of his mind?Couldn’t he just let it slide for a day? After the phone call ended, I was upset. But I tried my best to force a smile because I didn’t want to ruin the energy of the party. The kids were beside me and they kept on asking when Patrick would show up. I could see the disappointment on their faces. Nevertheless, they still enjoyed themselves. They even went on stage to dance with the bride and groom. After a few hours, the wedding was about to wrap up. People were even starting to leave but I didn’t see any sign of Patrick. I was tempted to call him again, but I chose not to. If he didn’t listen to me the first time, I wasn’t sure he would suddenly change his mind now. “Valerie.” Jordan’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts. I turned around and looked at him, and he had a semi-happy smile on his face. “Patrick came but he left as soon as he talked to me.” My eyes widened in sho

Chapter 181Patrick Banks ~•~I paced back and forth around the room. At some point, I paused and looked at the tuxedo on the bed. Valerie had dropped it in my room the previous night. It was the day of Jordan’s wedding.I thought I had made peace with the fact that I wasn’t attending. But I just couldn’t help but feel restless. Valerie and the boys had already left the house. And when I took them out the other day, they couldn’t stop telling me about how it was so rude to miss your best friend’s wedding. Liam also made it clear to me that it would be a big mistake if I didn’t attend the wedding. A part of me knew that it was Valerie who put them up to it. Why couldn’t I just do something else and forget about the wedding? I dragged a hand down my face in frustration. I stepped closer to the bed and picked up the tuxedo. It was a perfectly tailored piece, the kind that made a statement without me even trying. Jordan knew me too well. Yes, I knew he was the one who sent it to
