Blake's POV

I saw Abigail today, and I had mixed feelings. So, I asked Benjamin and Howard to hang out.

In the evening, Benjamin and I pushed open the door of a private room and entered.

"You're here. Drink with me!"

The room was large. Howard sat alone on the sofa and looked at us.

As soon as I stepped in, I knew something was wrong. I threw the car keys on the table, looked at Benjamin, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to him?"

Benjamin shook his head. "I just arrived. I asked him, but he said nothing and just kept drinking."

"It has got to do with women again." I made a guess.

Howard suddenly threw the bottle on the table, looked up, and stared at the ceiling with a look of despair. He sadly announced, "I'm single again. I don't have a woman or a daughter. I'm alone again!"

Benjamin and I looked at each other. Then we turned to Howard with concern. "Harry, what happened? Tell us, and we'll see how we can help."

"There is nothing you can do to help!" Howard broke down and covered his eyes and looked desperate. He could not hide his sadness in front of his best friends.

Benjamin's expression changed dramatically. We had never seen Howard cry before. Something terrible must have happened.

"Why did she do this to me? What did I do wrong?" Howard muttered to himself.

Benjamin quickly passed a tissue to Howard. "Looks like Rowena really broke your heart. I'll go talk to her later. She can't hurt you like this."

Howard felt bitter. "No. Don't give her a hard time. It's not her problem."

"If not her, then who? Your mother?" I asked.
