Blake's POV
I saw Abigail today, and I had mixed feelings. So, I asked Benjamin and Howard to hang out.
In the evening, Benjamin and I pushed open the door of a private room and entered.
"You're here. Drink with me!"
The room was large. Howard sat alone on the sofa and looked at us.
As soon as I stepped in, I knew something was wrong. I threw the car keys on the table, looked at Benjamin, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to him?"
Benjamin shook his head. "I just arrived. I asked him, but he said nothing and just kept drinking."
"It has got to do with women again." I made a guess.
Howard suddenly threw the bottle on the table, looked up, and stared at the ceiling with a look of despair. He sadly announced, "I'm single again. I don't have a woman or a daughter. I'm alone again!"
Benjamin and I looked at each other. Then we turned to Howard with concern. "Harry, what happened? Tell us, and we'll see how we can help."
"There is nothing you can do to help!" Howard broke down and covered his eyes and looked desperate. He could not hide his sadness in front of his best friends.
Benjamin's expression changed dramatically. We had never seen Howard cry before. Something terrible must have happened.
"Why did she do this to me? What did I do wrong?" Howard muttered to himself.

Benjamin quickly passed a tissue to Howard. "Looks like Rowena really broke your heart. I'll go talk to her later. She can't hurt you like this."
Howard felt bitter. "No. Don't give her a hard time. It's not her problem."
"If not her, then who? Your mother?" I asked.
I knew Howard and Rowena split up because of Howard's mother, Yvonne.
Benjamin also looked serious when he heard that name.
Howard nodded in pain. "Yes. It was my mother. She came to see me at work today. She ran into Rowena and slapped her in the face. The relationship that Rowena and I had been trying to maintain all this time was gone. I could see that Rowena was disappointed in me."
Benjamin and I both became silent. If it were anyone else, we would have done something for Howard. But it was Yvonne. There was nothing we could do.
"I envy you so much."
"What for? My mother has long abandoned me!" I reached for a bottle of beer, unscrewed the cap, and took a few sips. "My mother visited and wanted to reconcile with me. I said no. Am I being ruthless?"
Benjamin had nothing in common with Howard and me in this respect, because Benjamin had parents. And his parents were a loving couple. They were very considerate to Benjamin and his older brother.
"Cheer up. Look on the bright side!" Benjamin tried to comfort us.
Howard suddenly turned his head to look at Benjamin. "As your good friend, I suggest you forget about Eda. Find another woman. You don't want to deal with my mother in the future."

"Harry, I told your sister my feelings for her!" Benjamin confessed.
I frowned while listening to them. "Ben, you and Eda are together?"
Benjamin smiled, "Yes. I have always liked her. Can't you tell?"
"No, I can't. Good for you." I said sarcastically.
Benjamin shrugged, looking innocent. "I didn't mean to hide it. But I also didn't have the courage to tell her. If it weren't for yesterday..."
Howard narrowed his eyes. "Did you take the opportunity I offered you yesterday?"
Benjamin blushed.
"Harry. Eda and I are ready to be in a relationship. I may be your brother-in-law someday."
"What?" Howard was stunned. "Did Eda agree to go out with you? What the hell? Why would she do that?"
I chuckled. "Maybe Eda has a crush on him as well. She just didn't tell him, since she was shy."
Benjamin nodded quickly. "That's right. Eda told me that she has feelings for me as well. I guess it's serendipity."
"Why today? I'm heartbroken. And you are in love. I should never have called you here to grieve with me." Howard was even more devastated and stared at the wall.
Benjamin realized that he made Howard feel worse. He comforted him softly, "Harry, don't worry. I will talk to Rowena later."
"Do you think she will ever forgive me?" Howard said self-mockingly. He had no confidence in getting her back.
I patted Howard's shoulder. "You must have faith in yourself. She knows how much you love her."
"I want nothing now. I just want my daughter. I want to see her. I miss her so much." Like a sad father, Howard once again covered his eyes with his arms, and his eyes reddened.
I felt for him because I also had kids. I could share his feelings.
I made up my mind. I must bury that secret. I didn't want my kids to go through that kind of pain together with us.
"If you miss her that much, I will bring her out someday for you to meet her!" Benjamin came up with an idea.
"Do you think Rowena will let you take her away?" Howard mocked.
Benjamin was speechless.
The three of us were in different moods. Maybe alcohol was the only thing that could make us forget about everything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was past ten o 'clock, and Howard was wasted. Benjamin drove him home, and I returned to the lakeside villa.
When I came back, the whole villa was quiet. I figured that both Hedwig and Noah were asleep.

Dowen was waiting in the parlor. When he saw me walk in, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "King Blake, you're back. Have you eaten anything?"
I raised my hand at Dowen. "Dowen, it's late. Go to sleep."
Dowen nodded and returned to his room in the backyard.
I disliked being disturbed whenever I was drunk. Dowen was well aware of that and didn't ask anything else.
I sat on the sofa in the parlor and felt a little dizzy.
"Blake?" Catherine walked to me. She frowned and asked, "Are you drunk?"
I tried to sit up. "Why are you still up?"
"I was waiting for you..." Catherine blurted out.
"Waiting for me?" I smiled and hugged her slender body. I said, "Cathy, what a relief to have you and the kids home!"
Catherine asked in concern, "Why? Anything happened?"
I said, "No. I just want to hold you."
Catherine said, "Well, then, hold me. When you are done, take a shower and go to sleep."
"But I can never get enough."
Catherine couldn't help but push me away. "You are drunk. Go get some rest!"
"OK." I nodded.
Then we walked toward the study.
