Catherine's POV

After finishing work at noon, I suddenly thought of the important task Blake gave me.

He wanted me to take Rowena to lunch and talk to her.

On the way to work today, Blake walked me through Howard and Rowena's current situation briefly. It sounded like the two had been through quite a hard time.

I felt bad for them with mixed feelings. Blake wanted me to find out whether Rowena still loved Howard or not.

What a tough job!

I was not very close with Rowena, yet I still called her and asked her for lunch.

To my surprise, Rowena agreed without hesitation.

We met at a restaurant. Rowena looked haggard and was in low spirits. It seemed that she didn't rest well.

"You didn't go to work today?" I asked curiously.

"I quit my job!" Rowena's words surprised me. Blake told me that Rowena worked hard, and she took her current job very seriously.

Rowena took a sip of her glass of water. She laughed at herself and said, "Catherine, I know why we are here!"

I smiled awkwardly, "Is that so? Do you find me annoying?"

Rowena said bitterly, "Not at all. I'm grateful to have someone to talk to. Catherine, I envy you so much. I heard that Blake's family has already accepted you."

"Yeah. Kind of." I was so satisfied with my current life.

"We are the same kind, but our lives are so different. I am not as lucky as you are," Rowena smiled bitterly with self-mockery.

I couldn't help but lower my tone and ask, "Rowena, do you still love Howard?"

Rowena raised her head and looked at me. She looked even sadder.

She said, "Of course, I love him, but his mother doesn't like me. I don't want to be in love humbly. After I have a daughter, love is not the most important thing to me anymore. I can accept living a simple life with my daughter!"

I listened and nodded. "I bet you love him. Before I had children, I thought love was everything. But now I think differently. Children are the most important to me."

"You're right. I can't agree more. That's why I was willing to let go!" Rowena was sad and desperate.

"What if Howard's mother accepts you? Will you still be with Howard then?" I couldn't help but ask.

Rowena said lightly, "She won't like me. I finally know what kind of person she is. She wants Howard's mate to come from the royal family."

"I don't think Howard will be with another woman. Do you know? He asked Blake to drink with him yesterday, and he was so drunk and passed out. He was on the verge of collapse. Sooner or later, I think, his mother would have given up if she had known how badly her son had been hurt." I said.

Rowena was a little stunned when she heard that Howard had been drunk.

"Maybe sometimes you can bring Ash to my place. My daughter misses her a lot," I suggested with a smile.

"Sure! I'll bring her over when I'm free!" Rowena returned to her senses and replied.

Third person's POV

Catherine and Rowena were having lunch together.

Meanwhile, Howard was in bed. He didn't want to get up and kept sleeping in a daze.

Yvonne did not sleep much at night. At noon, she went upstairs and opened Howard's door, which reeked of alcohol.

"Howard, don't drink like this ever again. It's bad for you, you hear me?" Yvonne was very upset with Howard. She put all her hopes on him, which was why she attached great importance to his marriage.

Howard lay motionless on the bed, and it didn't seem that he heard Yvonne.

Yvonne was both mad and hurt. Her tone softened a little, and she pushed his shoulder. "Howard, don't be like this. I was only trying to make the best of you!"

Howard still said nothing. He was desperate.

Yvonne sighed, got up, and went downstairs.

When she came downstairs, she saw Eda rushing out of the car. Eda said, "Mom, you are so good at making a fuss! You did this to him again! Have you forgotten that he drank so much till his stomach bled three years ago?"

Benjamin had already talked to Eda. And Yvonne called Eda in the morning, asking Eda to come over.

If it were something else, Eda would not blame Yvonne at all. But this was different. Eda was very angry.

Yvonne raised Eda like a boy, yet she indulged Howard since he was a child. Yvonne gave Howard a carefree life.

"Eda, why are you being so mean? I asked you to come back to talk to your brother, not to judge me! Just go up and check on him!" Yvonne said sternly.

Eda walked quickly upstairs. She frowned as she entered the bedroom. "Howard, what the hell? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Howard quickly buried himself in the quilt to cover his ears.

Eda knew Howard well. When he was annoyed, he did not want to listen to anyone.

"If you really want to get Rowena back, you shouldn't be lying here doing nothing. Think about Ash. I will go see her tonight. Do you want to go together?" Eda said. She knew he could hear her.

"I can't face my daughter," hearing Ash's name, Howard lifted the quilt and said in a self-mocking tone.

"What do you mean by that? You can't back down just because Mom says no. Be a man..."

"Rowena is disappointed in me. I dare not ask her back." Howard was more willing to talk to Eda because she was much more reasonable than Yvonne.

"Rowena is a nice woman, and you two have a daughter. Plus, you love Rowena so much. If you don't get married and be with each other, you will regret it till the day you die." Eda was always a straightforward person. So, she cut to the chase.

After listening to her, Howard sat up from the bed. After drinking for the whole night, he had stubble on his chin. Combined with his disheveled shirt, he looked decadent, a far cry from the usual Howard.

"You are right. I am going to die!" The first words that Howard said after he sat up terrified Eda.

She touched his forehead. "Are you having a fever? Why? Because you've lost the woman you love? Come on, be a man!"

Howard turned to look at Eda. "I'll pretend that I'm gonna kill myself. It's an act for Yvonne!"

Eda realized what he meant at once. She smiled, "I see. Smart move. I guess it's worth a try. Go ahead!"
