Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce: His Biggest Regret: Kabanata 221 - Kabanata 230

Chapter 222Valerie Will ~•~“I can’t believe you brought your little boyfriend to our child’s first birthday.” Patrick gritted his teeth in annoyance as he met me in the dining room. “I can’t believe you even brought him to my house.” I let out a deep sigh. “Patrick, just calm down and stop overreacting. Focus on the other people at the party.” I replied, rolling my eyes at him. “You don’t always have to cause a scene when it comes to Damien.” Patrick let out a bitter scoff. “I just came here to warn you before I throw him out myself.” He said, his breathing heavy. “If you know what is good for you, ask him to leave before things get ugly.” I swallowed hard, letting out a frustrated sigh. “You don’t always have to be so difficult,” I said as I stood up from the chair. “It’s our daughter’s birthday and you can’t let something this silly ruin everything.” “I’m sure Isla would ask him to leave if she could talk.” He snorted. “You don’t always have to disrespect me by bringing that

Chapter 224Valerie Will~•~“What is wrong with you, Patrick?” I asked, my eyes burning with rage. “You ruined our daughter’s party and embarrassed me in front of our guests.” He snorted. “I told you to ask him to leave but you decided to kiss him instead. What were you trying to prove, huh?” He replied, his breathing heavy. I scoffed. “Can’t I kiss my boyfriend? What is wrong with you?” “Oh, please.” He lifted a hand to the air. “You’re the one who ruined the party by bringing an intruder into our home.” “Your home, you mean.” I corrected him, unable to mask the irritation in my voice. “You can’t go around punching people all the time.” “All the time?” He asked with a scoff. “Anyway, I wouldn’t have punched him if you had asked him to leave.” I let out a deep breath. I wanted to explain to Patrick that I had to kiss him because that was the only way he would leave the party. But he didn’t deserve an explanation. I didn’t owe him one. Plus, I didn’t want him to know that we w

Chapter 226Valerie Will~•~“Why didn't you tell me that you were taking the kids to school? They left without saying goodbye.” Patrick asked as soon as I stepped into the living room. I shot him a blank stare, eyebrows furrowed in mild confusion. “I had no idea you were awake, and I didn’t want them to disturb you…I thought you had work today.” He shook his head. “No, I’m taking a day off, Fredrick is coming into the office.” He replied, intertwining his fingers with Isla who was sitting on his lap. I blinked. “So that’s how it’s going to be? You’ll skip going to work whenever Fredrick shows up at the office?” Patrick nodded. “Exactly.” I sat down on the couch across from him. “Are you serious? What if you have a meeting with an important client?” He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, but I guess that would be an exception.” He replied, his voice quiet. I folded my arms around my chest and stared at him for a long second. “Do you think it’s okay to skip work because of hi

Chapter 228Valerie Will~•~I listened to Alexis’s advice. But before I could reach out to Celeste, she reached out to me. So I decided to give her a chance to explain herself. We agreed on having lunch at her house after school hours.I didn’t have much to do, so I practically spent the entire day in my bed. When it was almost thirty minutes to the agreed time, I started getting ready. In no time, I was done and on my way to her house. As I pulled up at the driveway, I let out a deep sigh. I still remember the last time I showed up at her house — the door was broken and that was the day our friendship ended. I hated that memory. I killed the engine and stepped out of the car. By the time I got to the front door, Celeste had already opened the door. “Hey,” I said quietly as I stepped into the house. “Hey.” She smiled at me. “I’m so happy you agreed to come.” I nodded. “Yeah.” Things were still awkward between us. As I got into the living room, I sat on the couch. A few mom

Chapter 230Patrick Banks ~•~Did I make a mistake by assuming that Fredrick was out to take my company? Maybe I should have at least given him the benefit of the doubt. But it was hard to believe that he was being genuine when he said he just wanted to success of my company. But even if he was, it was too late. I had already caused a rift between us. A part of me wanted to apologize, but my high ego wouldn’t let me apologize. I didn’t say anything else, I just stood there quietly until he turned around and walked away. After he left, I closed the door and turned to Jordan. “Fuck!” I said through gritted teeth. “He shouldn’t have heard that,” I added, letting out a frustrated sigh. Jordan remained calm. “What do you want to do?” He asked, his narrowed gaze fixed on me. I shrugged my shoulders. “I have no idea and I don’t think there’s anything I can say to convince him that I was just joking…even if I do, I don’t think he’s going to back down.” I needed a glass of water. “B
