My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 249

Third person's POV

In a nearby cafe.

Howard and Rowena sat by the window. Rowena was staring at a corner of the park, while Howard was looking at her.

"I heard you resigned. Why?" Howard stirred the coffee in his cup, asking her in a low voice.

"No reason. I just felt tired and wanted to rest," Rowena replied.

"Was it because of me? My mother exposed our relationship and made things awkward for you at work." Howard's voice was filled with guilt and self-blame. Though Rowena did not say anything or blhim, he knew. That was the reason she resigned.

Rowena was silent. She couldn't get those humiliating words from her colleagues out of her head.

"It turns out that she wants to marry into a rich family. How ambitious!"

"That's right. I have no idea that she was secretly dating Mr. Twitty. She hid it so well. If Mr. Twitty's mother hadn't cto the company to make a scene, none of us would have known."

"I heard that she comes from a shabby family. How could she possibly be worthy of Mr. Twitty and his noble family? He is so out of her league!"

"I heard she was beaten up!"

"She deserves it. People who do not know their place deserve to be punished. So, they'll learn to behave."

Howard suddenly reached out and grabbed Rowena's hands, which were clenched tightly on the table. She was startled and pulled her hands back.

"Yvonne agreed. Rowena, can we start over again?" Seeing how quickly she drew her hands away, Howard becconcerned and told her why he had cto see her.

Rowena lowered her eyes, and her voice was cold. She said, "Howard, I agreed to see you, because I had something to tell you, too. Let's break up. This time, for good. We shouldn't see each other again. You are out of my league."

"Rowena, I'm sorry. I know you are still mad at my mom. I know she has made you suffer a lot. But from now on, I will take care of you and Ash. I won't back down this time. No one can separate us." When Howard heard Rowena talk about breaking up again, his heart ached.

He did not know what to say to make her change her mind, so he kept telling her how much he loved her.

Rowena burst into tears. She pressed the back of her hand to her lips to keep from crying. "I don't have the courage to start with you again, Howard. We belong to different worlds. You should go on with your life, and I will live mine. I will not prevent you from seeing Ash. You can cif you want to see her, but it's over between us."

"Rowena, what do you mean by that? I don't want that. I will take you and Ash back hto live together." Howard felt desperate as he heard Rowena's words.

He felt that Rowena's confidence in their relationship was diminishing.

"I will move on and start a new relationship. Howard, sometimes I feel that I was with you simply because of your money. But now, I can make money on my own, I don't need you anymore." Rowena

wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a tissue. She tried to look indifferent and said in a mocking tone.

Howard's handsface froze.

"Rowena, have you started dating another man?" Howard was devastated.

Rowena nodded. "Actually, there is something I didn't tell you. When I lived abroad, I had a good friend. He is coming back, and he wants to start a relationship with me."

Howard was stunned.

Rowena took her phone and dialed a number.

She called Eda.

"Eda, please bring Ash back. I have something to do later!" Rowena hung up.

The two sat still, and the air froze. Howard gawked at Rowena, and the latter looked down at the table.

About ten minutes later, Eda and Benjamin cover with Ash. They felt the awkwardness between Howard and Rowena and exchanged looks.

"Ash, chere. Lethug you!" Rowena's expression softened at the sight of Ash, and her tone was gentle.

Ash looked at Howard and immediately extended her chubby hands. "Daddy... It's daddy..."

Ignoring Ash's cries, Rowena said to Eda, "I'm leaving!"

"Daddy... I want daddy..." Ash's childish voice echoed in the corridor outside the cafe. It was heartbreaking.

Looking at Howard's hopeless expression, Eda knew that the negotiation was a failure.

Benjamin walked over and patted Howard on the shoulder. "Hold on there. I'll take Rowena home!"

After Benjamin said that, he held Eda's hand. Then, he turned around and ran after Rowena.

Rowena had just walked downstairs with Ash in her arms. When she saw Benjamin, she tried to put away the sadness on her face.

"Rowena, I'll give you a ride!" Benjamin said in a gentle tone.

"Alright!" Rowena nodded and sat in Benjamin's sports car.

In her arms, Ash was still thinking about Howard. She looked so pitiful with tears in her eyes, making people feel sorry for her.

Benjamin kept driving. He turned to look at Rowena and said, "Are you sure you won't forgive Howard this time?"

"I have made up my mind!" Rowena refused to listen to him, for she did not wish to fall into the abyss again.

There was no point, even if Yvonne allowed her to be with Howard. Rowena knew that Yvonne only agreed because Howard made her. Yvonne and she could never get along. Rowena could not live in a place where she would be looked down upon at any time, anywhere.

Benjamin let out a sigh and felt that there was no point in trying to persuade Rowena anymore.

It was between Rowena and Howard, and only they could fix this.

In the cafe, Eda sat opposite Howard. Her eyes were full of sympathy. "I didn't expect Rowena to be so determined this time. She must be so heartbroken."

"She said she was going to be with another man!" Howard was desperate with a somber face.

"She's only saying it. I believe she won't do it. She can't get over you. I can tell," Eda said confidently.

"She will!" Howard raised his head and looked at Eda. His eyes were filled with despair and sadness. "I know her. She will find another man to replacethis time. What should I do? Am I going to lose her forever? Just now, Ash calleddaddy. How wonderful is that? But I lost her. I lost Ash. Damn it!"

Howard looked remorseful. Eda suddenly did not want to talk to him anymore. She got up and walked out the door.

Howard was still drowning in sorrow.
