Divorce: His Biggest Regret 160
Chapter 160Valerie Will~•~I knew that Patrick was under a lot of tension but it still didn’t justify the fact that he yelled at me just because I asked him a simple question. I was upset but I knew that there was no use going back and forth with him. One of us had to be the bigger person. And also, stay calm and think about how we would drag ourselves out of the mess he had created. As I went back upstairs, I stopped at the room my mother was staying in. I opened the door and stepped inside. She was holding Isla and walking around the room. “I’ve been trying to get her to sleep for the past thirty minutes.” My mother handed her over to me as I got to where they stood. Maybe she was aware of the storm that was brewing in our home and found it difficult to sleep. I knew that thought was silly though. She was still awake because she was definitely tired from all the sleeping she had done all day. I took her into my arms and her eyes lit up as she saw me. My lips curled into a s

Chapter 159Patrick Banks ~•~“Lisa?” I asked slowly as I answered the call. “Of course, it’s Lisa. Or did you call someone else earlier?” She responded in a sassy manner. I looked at Valerie, then I looked at the phone. I cleared my throat. “Why would you do that to me?” I asked, my tone clipped. It seemed like I was just going around throwing blames at everyone, but I had to confront them if I wanted to know the truth. Besides, Lisa was the last option. It had to be her. “Do what?” She asked, the annoyance palpable in her voice even through the phone. “What are you talking about?” My brows knitted into a frown. “Why did you leak information to the public about my company?” I replied, my voice sharper than I had intended. A humorless laugh escaped her lips. “I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, Patrick.” I blinked. “Stop playing with me, Lisa.” She threatened that she was coming for me. And ever since then, I had been waiting for her to strike. It wasn’t lik

Chapter 158Patrick Banks ~•~I had to threaten the security guards before I could get into my mother’s compound. I was fuming with rage but I suppressed it. I wanted to have an amicable conversation with her, hoping she would fix all the damage she had caused — if she was actually the one behind it. Of course, I knew that working for the mafia wasn’t legal. But even though my mother found out about something like that, she had no right to take it public. That was very selfish and inhumane of her. As I stepped into the living room, I saw my sister, Madeline, sitting on the couch. She stood up immediately as she saw me, clearly shocked. “Who let you pass the gate? What are you doing here?” She asked, eyes raking over me from head to toe. “You shouldn’t be here, Patrick.” I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “I shouldn’t be here? Why?” I demanded, taking a few steps closer to her. Her breathing became labored. “Mom doesn’t want you in her house anymore.” Was that a sign of guilt? Why

Chapter 157Valerie Will ~•~“Is everything okay?” Alexis asked when she noticed the change in my demeanor. I rolled my eyes. “We’ve just been here for how long? But they’ve already taken a picture and circulated it online with trashy comments.” I replied through gritted teeth, frustration evident in my voice. Alexis took my phone from me and read the headlines aloud. “Valerie Will’s finally spotted outside a few weeks after her delivery. But we still don’t know who the father is — Patrick or Jamal.” Her lips pressed together, her eyes blazing with anger. “Those people are out of their minds. I’m so sorry, Valerie.” I let out a bitter scoff. “You don’t have to apologize. I was the one who asked to leave the house.” I said with a sigh. “Jamal isn’t even in my life anymore, why can’t they just move on?” Alexis’s expression softened. “You don’t have to listen to them. They’re just looking for something to talk about. Don’t let it get to you.” I always ignored the news about me, bu

Chapter 156Patrick Banks ~•~“Patrick! Have you seen the news?” Jordan’s worried voice came through the other end of the line. My lips parted and I blinked. “What news?” “The Times just broke a story about the company. And Patrick, it’s bad.” He hesitated, as though he was unsure of how to say it. “They’re launching a formal investigation into your company.” My heart skipped a beat. Formal investigation? On what? And why was it on the news? How did it get public without my knowledge? “What?” I asked, my voice tense. “What is it about?” Jordan let out a wistful sigh. “It’s about the dealings with the mafia.” A chill ran down my spine. “They know about the money laundering?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “How? But I was so careful.” “I know, but someone leaked information about it. Things that the press couldn’t have dug up on their own. Private documents. Emails.” My jaw clenched. Who could have done something like that? I was careful enough. The only people

Chapter 155Valerie Will~•~I remember when I gave birth to Liam. I didn’t have anybody by my side — no friends, no family. I just did it alone. But this time around, I smiled as I saw Patrick, Liam, Alexis, Noah, and my mom in the hospital room. I still felt weak from the delivery, my body aching in places I didn’t even know could ache. Patrick sat at the edge of the bed, his hands never leaving mine. Liam and Noah spent the last hour hovering around the baby. “She’s so small,” Liam whispered. Noah nodded. “Yeah, she’s so tiny.” “That’s how you were when I gave birth to you,” I responded with a chuckle. Noah turned to Patrick. “Was I also like this?” Patrick nodded. “I guess you were even smaller.” It made everyone laugh. Alexis cleared her throat and looked at me. “Have you thought about a name yet?” She asked, her voice soft but curious. I only thought of a name recently. With everything that had been going on with me and Patrick, we didn’t really sit down to talk about
