All Chapters of Divorce: His Biggest Regret: Chapter 151 - Chapter 159

Chapter 151Patrick Banks ~•~I was meant to leave early in the morning, so I went to bed immediately after my phone call with Valerie ended. The sound of the annoying alarm clock woke me up from my sleep. Letting out a loud yawn, I sat upright on the bed. I was tempted to sleep back, but I didn’t want to miss my flight. Shortly after, I was ready to leave for the airport. As I got into the car, I decided to check my phone to see if I had gotten any calls or messages. My face formed into a frown when I saw a text from Massimo. [ Don’t forget about our deal. The new assistant is starting on Monday.] So he was actually serious? I swiped his text away with annoyance. Then I saw that I had a few calls from Jordan, Liam’s phone, and Madison. Madison? Why was she calling me? I blocked her regular number. This one was different, but the caller ID still gave her away. I wanted to call Liam first but I figured he would still be sleeping. So I just decided to wait until I got back

Chapter 153Valerie Will~•~I didn’t want to shower in a public place, I just wanted something small with friends and family at the house. Something quiet. Something that felt real. Not the cameras. Or the paparazzi that always managed to find a way in no matter how hard we try to keep them away. The shower was about to start. The house was already decorated and soft music echoed from the speakers. I smiled as I walked down the stairs. The aroma of the freshly baked pastries coming from the kitchen made me chuckle. God. Everything was so perfect. Noah and Liam ran downstairs, pulling me into a warm hug. Everyone was excited about the new baby. I spoke to them for a while before they ran into the kitchen to grab their food. Patrick wasn’t at the house, he still had to run a few more errands. I sat down on the couch and pulled out my phone. Then I called Alexis. She was meant to catch an early flight to New York. I wanted to know where she was. But her number was unavailable.

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

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 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
