Chapter 244


    Third person''s POV


    "What do you think? Should I jump off the building or cut my wrist? Which one is better?"


    "Maybe the former. At least it doesn''t hurt, because you won''t jump at all. Cutting your wrist is not good.


    It hurts!" Eda said.


    Howard thought for a moment and felt that Eda''s words made sense. "Then I will go with the former.


    You''ve got to help me..."


    "I will. Don''t worry. I''ll shout at you while standing downstairs and urge you to jump!"


    Howard frowned. "Are you my sister or not?"


    "I''m just putting more pressure on Yvonne, so she will stop bothering me with your rtionship issues."


    Edaughed. She thought that since Howard still coulde up with all these strange ideas, he had


    not given up yet. There was still hope for him.


    Howard put his hand on his forehead and said, "It''s no fun being drunk. I''ve had a headache all night,


    and I''m still dizzy. I am so beaten up."


    "Of course, you feel that way!" Eda stood up. "Alright then. Just pick the spot where you are going to


    jump off the building!"


    "This ce will do. I''ll go up now!" As soon as Howard finished speaking, he made his hair messier and


    walked out the door barefooted.


    Eda was amused and chuckled.


    When Eda went downstairs, Yvonne grabbed her hand and asked, "Eda, how''s your brother doing? Did


    you talk to him? Did he say anything?"


    "He ignored me. He remained silent no matter what I asked him!" Eda wrapped her arms around her


    chest, looking helpless.


    Yvonne''s face turned pale. She paced back and forth in the living room and muttered, "What should I


    do? Howard is so stubborn. Was I wrong this time?"


    "Mom, you were wrong three years ago. You visited Rowena without telling him, and you paid her to


    leave. Do you really think money can do anything? Rowena did leave, but she didn''t take a penny, did


    she? She left with pride," Eda said angrily.


    Yvonne was very upset and irritated by Eda''s usation. Yvonne said, "Stop ming me here. I did


    nothing wrong. By the way, when Howard was drunk yesterday, he called a name. I think it was Ash or


    something. Do you know who this Ash is? What''s their rtionship?"


    Howard called Ash''s name when he was drunk. Eda realized how much Howard med himself.


    "I don''t know. You have to ask him!" Eda shook her head and refused to answer.


    Yvonne got mad immediately, "All you care about is work. You don''t care about your brother at all!"


    "Mom, how can I buy you anything if I don''t work?" Eda spread out her hands and felt that Yvonne was


    too harsh on her. Eda was just a woman.


    Yvonne burst into tears. "Are you ming me for driving your dad away? Let me tell you something.


    You can''t me me for that. Your dad chose to leave."


    "Mom, I heard that you went to look for my dad not long ago. Why? Did you beg him toe back?"


    Eda asked in a mocking tone.


    After Yvonne heard Eda''s words, she felt embarrassed. She gritted her teeth. "I don''t want him back!"


    As Yvonne and Eda were chatting, the servant outside the door screamed, "Mr. Twitty, why are you


    standing on the roof? It''s dangerous!"


    As the servant screamed, Yvonne ran out and saw Howard standing on the roof in a daze.


    Yvonne''s heart stopped for an instant, and she thought she was having a heart attack.


    "Howard, what are you doing up there? What are you going to do? Just calm down!" Yvonne almost


    copsed to the ground.


    Eda raised her head and looked at Howard standing on the roof. She spread her hands and said lightly,


    "Mom, he''s going to jump off the building!"


    "Of course, I know that! Eda, do something. Talk to him and let him get down from there! How can I live


    if he dies?" Yvonne shook Eda''s arm, urging Eda toe up with a solution.


    Eda could tell that Yvonne was frightened this time. Yvonne''s face was deadly pale.


    Eda rolled her eyes and thought that Howard should have done this a long time ago. If so, none of this


    would have happened.


    Eda said lightly, "Mom, he doesn''t want to live anymore. Why don''t you just let him do whatever he


    wants? He would be so upset if he didn''t jump."


    "Damn girl! What are you talking about? Nothing can happen to Howard. Just get him down!" Yvonne


    cried so hard that she couldn''t breathe. She was so afraid of losing Howard, her only son.


    Eda nodded. "Mom, there is only one way to get him down. You need to agree with his marriage with


    Rowena!"


    "No... I won''t!" But Yvonne was not as determined as before.

    Eda spread her hands. "Then there''s nothing I can do!"


    "Eda, he is your brother! How can you say this? How can you be so ruthless? You are breaking my


    heart!" Yvonne shouted.


    Eda ignored her and said determinedly, "Agree to his terms, and he''ll get down. I won''t have to talk to


    him at all."


    "Why should I... Why is he pushing me like this?" Yvonne felt miserable.


    Eda looked at Yvonne, who was crying desperately. Eda was anxious too and she had to make her


    motherpromise. Otherwise, everyone would suffer.


    "Mom, can you tell me why you can''t ept Rowena? What makes you hate her?" Eda figured that


    maybe Yvonne had her reasons.


    Yvonne covered her face and shook her head while crying. "I don''t hate her. But I crossed her three


    years ago. I don''t want a daughter-inw who hates me. I don''t want to go out and hang out with my


    friends without my daughter-inw."


    Eda looked at Yvonne in surprise. So, that was what Yvonne worried about.


    "Mom, what makes you think Rowena would be the kind of person who is difficult to get along with?


    You didn''t spend time with her!" Eda pulled a wry face.


    "That''s right. I never spend time with her. But things between us have be so ugly. Do you think


    she will still like me?"


    "I believe that she will. She won''t have any hard feelings as long as you treat her sincerely." Eda


    walked over, hugged Yvonne, and patted her back. "She is a nice girl. I like her a lot."


    Yvonne shook her head. "It''s toote. After everything I''ve done, she must hate me a lot. Even if she


    does love your brother, she will not like me."


    "Mom, you are thinking too much. If you really want others to like you, keep your temper down and stop


    hurting others!" Eda knew Yvonne wasn''t a bad person. Yvonne was simply not wise enough. She had


    been proud and arrogant since she was a child. She did not know how to express herself. In short, her


    EQ was low.
