CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Patrick knew Addison would be furious if she found out that he’d invited Michele to the lake. But what was he to do? Michele was furious with him as it was, and she was carrying his child, too, after all. Addison would just have to get over it. So far, though, inviting her there had mostly been a disaster because as it turned out, motherhood apparently didn’t come naturally to Michele. She seemed like a fish out of water, uncomfortable and cold. Mostly, she was distant, not too much different from how she was in the boardroom, and it worried Patrick. He finally got up the nerve to mention it after they’d had lunch and he’d set the boys up in the media room.
“Are you feeling okay?” he asked, taking her foot in his hand. “You seem, I don’t know, unhappy.”
“I’m fine.”
