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 hade to 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 aplicated expression. She wanted to say something, but she didn''t.
"Let me handle it. Trust me!" Eda stopped Yvonne from saying anything more.
Atst, 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 andined, "What took you so long? I
was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat!"
Eda could not help butugh out loud. "Isn''t that good? You''repletely 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 drunkst night. Mom thought Ash was some girl 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."
They 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 with me going out with Rowena now?"
Yvonne nced 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-inw.
"That''s uneptable. 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, me and Rowena''s
little girl!" Howard yed 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 tofort her. Eda said, "Mom, Ash is a lovely girl.
I adore her!"
"Why is it a girl?" Yvonne suddenly said after she epted 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
sometime so 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 pped 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 came back to work and met a special guest.
It was Leo!
He satzily 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
theme movie. 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 helped me a 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 d you said yes!" Leo said casually.
"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 drunkst time. You didn''t make yourself a fool, right?" I suddenly thought of thest time he
had been drunk.
Leo shook his head. "Fortunately, the paparazzi didn''t have a chance to take photos of me and 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 ke. I went downstairs and saw him waiting for
me with his hands in his pockets.
ke was leaning against the car door waiting for me. It seemed that I had be more important to
him.
He used to sit in the car while waiting for me before. Yet now, he was waiting outside the car.
"Let''s go out for dinner!" ke suggested.
For some reason, I blushed. "Should we get the kids as well?"
"No. Just the two of us!" ke said.
"What if they need us?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"They have Emerson and Patricia," ke 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," ke 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 promise me that no matter what happens to us in the future, your love for me
will not change," ke suddenly held my hand and asked me to make a promise.
