Chapter 245
Third person's POV
"Eda, I know I have a bad temper, but I have been like this for years." Yvonne raised her head and looked at Howard, who was still standing on the roof. For the first time, she realized that she was such a loser and felt sad about herself.
Yvonne had cto her senses. Eda felt sorry for her. She wiped Yvonne's tears with a tissue. "Why don't you go sit in the living room and leave this to me? I'll deal with the things with Rowena as well. Just stay out of it, alright?"
Yvonne looked at Eda with a complicated expression. She wanted to say something, but she didn't.
"Lethandle it. Trust me!" Eda stopped Yvonne from saying anything more.
At last, Yvonne chose to trust Eda. Maybe it was because Yvonne saw the confident look on Eda's face, or maybe it was because Yvonne had realized that she was being bossy and selfish. She made a big mistake, which was almost at the cost of her son's life. She wanted to change.
Eda helped Yvonne to sit in the living room and quickly went upstairs.
Then, she winked at Howard. He instantly took a step back and complained, "What took you so long? I was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat!"
Eda could not help but laugh out loud. "Isn't that good? You're completely sober now, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am!" Howard nodded.
Eda then said with a serious tone, "Mom just mentioned Ash's name. She said that she heard it from you when you were drunk last night. Mom thought Ash was sgirl you were involved with. Do you want to tell her the truth?"
"Yes! I'll tell her right now!" Howard had it all figured out when he was on the roof. Ash was his daughter. He didn't need to keep Yvonne in the dark!
Eda nodded. "OK. Get down and talk to her. I think the odds are in favor of you and Rowena."
Howard said sarcastically, "I knew this could work."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey went downstairs. Yvonne was sitting on the sofa in a daze. Though she dressed up, her make-up was ruined, making her seem somehow older.
"Howard... My son, are you alright?" Yvonne immediately rushed over as she saw him. She grabbed his hand and looked at him carefully.
Howard had a poker face and said coldly, "Mom, are you OK withgoing out with Rowena now?"
Yvonne glanced at Eda, who quickly winked at her.
Yvonne could only nod. "Yes. But..."
"But what?" Since Yvonne agreed, Howard was no longer sad. In fact, he was thrilled.
"I don't want you to get married yet. She can be your girlfriend for now." Yvonne wanted to stall. She didn't want Rowena to be her daughter-in-law.
"That's unacceptable. I will marry her as soon as possible!" Howard said firmly.
Eda nodded hard. "They love each other. They should get married. Mom, stop standing in their way!"
Yvonne looked at Eda and Howard and did not know what to do.
"Mom, you want to know who Ash is, don't you? I'll tell you now. Ash is my daughter,and Rowena's little girl!" Howard played the trump card.
"What?" Yvonne was stunned and slumped on the sofa. "You have a kid already?"
Yvonne was utterly shocked. Eda quickly went over to comfort her. Eda said, "Mom, Ash is a lovely girl. I adore her!"
"Why is it a girl?" Yvonne suddenly said after she accepted the fact. Yvonne's words befuddled them. Both Eda and Howard's expressions changed. Eda said, "Mom, what's wrong with a girl? Aren't you Grandpa's daughter too, right?"
Yvonne then realized that she had said the wrong thing again.
She quickly raised her head to look at Howard, whose face was sullen. He seemed very unhappy.
"Howard, don't be angry. I'm not saying that I don't like girls. Hey, why don't you bring Ash back sometso that I can meet her?" After being frightened by Howard, Yvonne began to care about others' feelings and tried not to be self-centered.
Howard said coldly, "Not now. Maybe I'll bring her back after I'm back with Rowena again."
Yvonne was a little stunned.
Howard's words got Yvonne worried. She was worried that Rowena would hold a grudge against her since she had slapped Rowena once before. Maybe Rowena would vent her anger on Howard, yet Howard was so madly in love with Rowena. Yvonne couldn't help but feel worried.
Catherine's POV
After having lunch with Rowena, I cback to work and met a special guest.
It was Leo!
He sat lazily in my office, drinking coffee.
When I saw him, I was a little surprised. "Leo, what brings you here?"
"I need a favor from you!" Leo looked at the view outside the window. Then he asked, "Are you busy these days?"
I thought for a moment and replied, "I can manage. What can I do for you?"
"I have a new movie to shoot. I hope you can design the costumes for the female lead. It is an urban thmovie. Your design will be perfect for it. You'll help me, right?" After saying that, Leo looked at my face, waiting for my answer.
I smiled, nodding, "Of course. You helpeda lot before, and I haven't repaid you yet. Consider this as my way of saying thank you. How many costumes are we talking about?"
"I will get someone to reach you. I'm glad you said yes!" Leo said casually.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you here just because of this? You can just call me," I said, smiling.
Leo quickly said, "I was just passing by. I thought why not pay a visit!"
"You were drunk last time. You didn't make yourself a fool, right?" I suddenly thought of the last the had been drunk.
Leo shook his head. "Fortunately, the paparazzi didn't have a chance to take photos ofand wrote nonsense about me."
"Nonsense? What did you say?" I asked curiously.
Leo quickly shook his head. "Nothing. I'll get out of your hair!"
Night fell. When I got off work, I received a call from Blake. I went downstairs and saw him waiting for me with his hands in his pockets.
Blake was leaning against the car door waiting for me. It seemed that I had becmore important to him.
He used to sit in the car while waiting forbefore. Yet now, he was waiting outside the car.
"Let's go out for dinner!" Blake suggested.
For sreason, I blushed. "Should we get the kids as well?"
"No. Just the two of us!" Blake said.
"What if they need us?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"They have Emerson and Patricia," Blake said with confidence.
"By the way, did you talk to Patricia about our wedding?" I asked curiously.
"Yes. I have decided to bring the wedding forward. It will be held in the church. I have already found someone to arrange it. It will be next Wednesday. It's a good day," Blake said.
"OK. I'll leave everything to you. I don't care about anything now." I leaned on his shoulder gently, and my heart was filled with happiness.
"Catherine, I want you to promisethat no matter what happens to us in the future, your love for me will not change," Blake suddenly held my hand and askedto make a promise.
