Semua Bab Divorce: His Biggest Regret: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Chapter 111Patrick Banks ~•~“What are you doing here? Have you come to complete your job?” My mother snapped as soon as she saw me walk into Benjamin’s room. “Mom! Lower your voice. People can hear you.” I said, my voice barely audible. She turned to Valerie. “Why did you come with him?” She asked, her voice cracking slightly. “Just stay outside and wait for me,” I told Valerie when I saw how uncomfortable she was. After she left, I turned to my mother. “Can you calm down? I didn’t do anything to him.” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, right.” She took a few steps closer to Benjamin and placed her hand around his body, as though she was checking his temperature. “What did the doctor say happened to him? What is going on?” I asked, my voice strained and uneven. She let out a deep exhale. “Why are you pretending like you don’t know what is happening?” She asked, glaring at me. “I don’t know what you two were fighting about, but there were other ways to resolve it instead of trying to

Chapter 113Patrick Banks ~•~“Are you done packing your bags?” I yelled loud enough for Valerie to hear through the door. “You need to hurry up. I’ll go check on Liam.” “Okay, I’ll be done soon.” After she responded, I made my way over to Liam’s room. The nanny had already packed a bag for him. He smiled and pulled me into a tight hug as soon as he saw me. “I’m so excited to go on this trip.” He exclaimed. “Yes. Everyone is excited.” I replied as I lifted him. “I can’t wait to tell my friends in school about my experience.” I couldn’t help but laugh. Liam was finally making friends in his school and I was grateful for that. “I’m sure they’ll be happy to listen to you.” “Is Mama ready?” Liam asked, his big eyes looking at me with so much excitement. “Almost,” I said, brushing back a strand of his hair. “You know how long it takes for her to get ready.” Liam giggled and continued talking but I zoned out of the conversation. My mind wandered back to Benjamin. It had been three

Chapter 115Patrick Banks ~•~“Take Liam back…take him back to the jet,” I whispered to Valerie, my heart pounding in my chest. I had been trying to stay optimistic even though I already knew that we would be walking into a storm once we landed in New York. Valerie couldn’t move, she froze in one spot. Liam’s eyes popped up as he looked at me. “Daddy, why do you look scared? What is happening?” He asked in a slightly cracked voice. My heart sank as I watched his reaction. I didn’t want him to witness the police putting his father in handcuffs. I turned to Valerie, tapping her multiple times. “Just take him back. I didn’t do anything. Everything will be okay.” Valerie responded with a scoff. “That was the same thing you said a few hours ago. But look at where we are right now.” I reached out for her hands. “Do you want to traumatize Liam?” I asked, my voice barely audible. She shook her head. “No.” Then she reached out for Liam’s hand and they both turned around and made their

Chapter 117Valerie Will~•~My heart broke as I watched Patrick being handcuffed by the police. I wanted to keep Liam away but he insisted on looking at what was happening. “Mama, why are they taking Daddy?” He asked, his voice cracked with emotion. “Why are you letting them take him?” He added. I looked at him. I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t form any words. What could I possibly say to the boy? Liam even tried to run out of the jet just to save his father, but I had to drag him back. After he saw that the police had finally gone with Patrick, he started crying profusely. I tried my best to comfort him, but I didn’t even know the right words to say. After a while, I couldn’t help but join him. I allowed my tears to flow freely. The staff on the jet tried to get information from me about what was going on, but I deliberately ignored them. I wasn’t in the mood to chat, I just wanted to be alone. My mind raced with different thoughts as I continued to cry. All these thi

Chapter 119Valerie Will~•~ONE MONTH LATER“I missed you so much, Alexis.” I smiled at her as she sat down on the chair across from me. “How have you been? It feels like forever.” Alexis let out a deep exhale. “As usual, I’ve been swamped with work.” She responded with a light chuckle. “I’ve missed you too. How have you been?” I shrugged my shoulders. “I’ve just been here, trying my best to stay healthy because of my unborn baby,” I said, my hands landing on my stomach. “Awwww.” Alexis squealed. “I can’t wait to meet the baby. Do you know what gender it is already?” She asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice. I shook my head. “Not yet. Patrick wants us to know at the baby shower.” I said, tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear. “I hope you’ll be able to attend the shower.” “Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for anything,” Alexis assured me, a wide smile plastered across her face. “So how is Liam doing?” Alexis and I chatted for a few more minutes before we finally order
