Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 528

Flavian’s POV

The girls came back from the SPA very excited and determined - they wanted to go out. As always, Melissa was leading the troops and had already decided everything. We went to the Social Club. We hadn't been there in a long time, and Alexander, Catherine, Henry, and Samantha joined us.

"Who's going to start?" Melissa suddenly spoke after dinner. We were in a private room at the Social Club, and she had already told us about the wonderful vacation she had taken with Prince Fred.

"Start what, crazy?" Alexander looked at her without understanding.

"To update me. I was away for quite a while, my vacation was divine and I've already shared it with you. Now I want to know everything that happened while I was gone, and most importantly, where are Patrick and Virginia?" Melissa was quite a character, but she cared about her friends.

"You're not the only one who wants to know about that, Mel. I'm curious too. By the way, I missed you," Henry also didn't know about Patrick yet.

"I know that, Martin!" Melissa smiled at him.

"Well, then I'll start," Alexander said. "Virginia left Patrick, nobody knows why, and he went on vacation, he'll be away for a month. He's not doing well, but I know he needed to get away and will come back better."

"What do you mean Virginia left Patrick?" Melissa was surprised, just like Henry and Samantha. "Tess definitely knows what's going on because those two have been keeping secrets. What did she say, Rick?"

"Sorry, Mel, but I can't help," It was Rick's turn to tell everyone about his personal drama. "Tess asked for a divorce."

"What did you say, Ricardo? When did this happen? I knew something was wrong here. Come on, tell us everything," Melissa demanded.

Rick explained that Tess had actually traveled because she had asked him for some time, and recently asked for a divorce and didn't want to see him. She hadn't given many explanations, just told him she wanted a divorce. He was hurt, and rightfully so.

"But I won't sign those divorce papers until she has the dignity to show up and explain this properly to my face," Rick concluded.

"Rick, you're a great man. If you want my opinion, she's the one who lost out," Catherine took her friend's hand. "Just sign the divorce papers and go be happy, don't waste time with someone who doesn't recognize your worth."

"Thank you, Cat, but I really need to know why. We were together for fifteen years. She just told me she needed time, that she was confused, and left. Then she only sent words that she wanted a divorce. I need explanations." We all understood that Rick wasn't ready to move on yet; sometimes it takes time, and an explanation for the breakup was the least he deserved.

"Very well, Rick, know that we're all here for you," Melissa declared. "And you, Cat, how's your perfect little life going with your perfect husband and perfect brood?"

"Oh, Mel, it's going perfectly!" We all laughed. But Catherine and Alexander had truly built an incredible life together. "But the news is that I left my job. I decided to watch my children grow up, to be closer to them."

"I can't believe it! Catherine, you're now a stay-at-home mom?" Melissa looked bewildered at her friend. "That's a lot of work, girl!"

"Yeah, it's exhausting. Peter has too much energy, and now with the quartet running in all directions, I'm always running around the house, but I'm very happy." Catherine smiled, and Alexander gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Maybe now I can convince her to have one more. I've always wanted a big family," Alexander smiled at his wife.

"Now you're definitely not convincing me!" Catherine made an angry face at him.
