Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 801 - Bab 810

Lexie's POVThe days kept passing, and Patrick and I still hadn't resolved our issues. Our daily battles, filled with provocations and arguments, had returned to how they were at the beginning, right after he came back from his trip. He usually called me a spoiled little girl, which made me blind with rage. Then he would leave something on my desk as an apology, I would return it, and we would go back to arguing. It was an endless cycle.A month had already passed since I caught him with that woman and discovered I was pregnant, but my pregnancy was still a secret. I also hadn't retrieved my things from his house - I wanted him to return them, and we fought about that too. I confess that every time he said my things were at "our" house, I felt shaken. But when he told me he loved me and wouldn't give up, I wanted to forget everything and grab him.To avoid going to work in sneakers and sweatpants every day, I managed to get a uniform like the company receptionists wore - a very pretty

Patrick's POVI left Lexie in the bedroom and went to the kitchen, gave instructions to Roman to have the driver pick up the walnut cake, and asked Wanda to prepare something for Lexie to eat."Is she back, Patrick?" Wanda looked at me with the hint of a smile."Yes, Wanda, she's back and she will not leaving here again." My smile was wide and my heart was beating erratically in my chest, such was the emotion I felt having her there once more.I chatted with Wanda a bit more, and when I returned to the bedroom, Lexie was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, combing her hair. She was wearing a loose, sleeveless light green dress and sandals the same color as the dress. I approached and hugged her, breathing in her scent deeply."You have no idea how much I miss you!" I said before kissing her neck, and she turned to face me."I miss you too! But I was so hurt," she whispered."I know. And you'll never feel that way again. I promise." I touched her face and she closed her eyes."We

Lexie's POVI woke up with sunlight streaming through the window. Still groggy from sleep, I couldn't remember going to the bedroom the night before. I blinked to adjust to the light and felt the firm muscles of Patrick's abdomen beneath my hand. My head was on his chest, and I turned to press my lips against his skin, breathing in his delicious scent as I felt his hand move over my body."Good morning, my sweet!" He shifted, pulling me face to face with him and kissed me. How I had missed this - waking up beside him and receiving this affection in the morning."I didn't want to wake you." I ran my hand across his face."I was already awake. I'm so happy that I was afraid to sleep, worried that when I woke up it would all have been just a dream." His words touched me deeply."It's not a dream, honey, I'm here!" I looked into his eyes."And you're never leaving again!" He wasn't asking - he was declaring it."No, I won't. I'll just go home." I smiled, but he frowned."Don't even start!

Patrick's POVI was nervous. After Lexie forgave me, I called Melissa and asked her to put the marriage proposal plan into action for Saturday. Everything was already prepared; we just needed to adjust the date. But when Saturday arrived, I was anxious. Everything had to go right and be perfect.But something else was making me apprehensive. Deep down, I was still afraid that Lexie would refuse me. I was terrified at the thought of her saying no.I spent the morning working out details with Melissa over the phone, and when she showed up at the house, I breathed a sigh of relief because she brought the last things we needed. As we had arranged on the phone, she had delivered everything to Roman, and he left it in the kitchen. She kept Lexie in the living room while I went to see what she had brought. It was perfect.After Melissa left, I started putting the plan into action. While Lexie went to take a shower, I went to the kitchen and grabbed the boxes. Carefully, I carried everything t

Patrick's POVI was kneeling there in that boat, my heart pounding in my throat, waiting for Lexie's answer. I was starting to fear she might say no, but her emotions were so transparent, leaving no doubt that she was happy and absolutely surprised. But she didn't answer me.She turned and picked up a box I hadn't even noticed was there, a box that wasn't part of what I had planned. She placed the box on her lap - a white box with a golden bow. On the lid, written in artistic golden letters, were the words "special delivery." I looked at it curiously, then my eyes met hers. She had the smile of someone satisfied with keeping a little secret."Before I answer you, I want to give you this," she said, extending the box to me. "I want you to know there's no love greater than what grows inside me. My whole life I've dreamed of this moment, but not even in my dreams was it so perfect. I love you, honey, I've always loved you and I always will. I was made for you! But before I answer you, I w
