Chapter 383
"Without me, they still have each other. Patrick has his mother, brother, and sister, and more importantly, he still
has you."
Howard's gazes were firm as if he could see through Amelia. He then said earnestly, "But if Jocelyn loses my
support, she and her family will be in a disaster. Do you understand, Amelia?" Amelia asked emotionally, "Did
you really fall in love with Jocelyn?"
Howard thought for a while before telling her his true feelings, "It's a relief and pleasure forto spend time
with Jocelyn. | always complain that the tis too limited and passes so fast. But with Eve in recent years, | feel
the opposite. Amelia, do you know platonic love?"
Platonic love did not seek physical but mental pleasure. "Yes," said Amelia.
"That's what | feel for Jocelyn. If Eve hadn't made a fuss of it, Jocelyn and | would only be friends. But now, the
more Eve pushes me, the more | couldn't ignore my feelings. | admit that | did cheat on Eve mentally."
Amelia gradually figured the whole thing out.
"Howard, you have your difficulties and your own decisions to make. Whatever you decide to do, | will support
you."
Patrick was very gratified. After asking her to put away the will, he allowed her to get off the car.
In the Hopper Family's mansion.
After coming back, Howard rushed into the bedroom. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Eve followed him into
the room with concerns.
Howard was throwing his shirts and suits from the wardrobe to the bed behind him.
Eve was shocked. "Howard, what are you doing?"
Howard didn't answer her. Now he had nothing to say to Eve.
Eve was so nervous already that even the slightest stimulation could drive her crazy. Seeing that Howard was
packing up his clothes without even looking at her, Eve thought of something and blurted out, "You want to run
away with her, don't you?"
Howard paused and gave her a cold glance. "If | don't leave with her, will you let her go?"
"I... | will." That being said, a vicious, murderous look appeared on her face.
Howard continued what he had been doing and said in a knowing tone, "It seems that you won't."
Realizing that she couldn't persuade him, Eve could only adopt her usual unreasonable way. She snatched every

After that, in the face of Eve's stunned look, Howard passed her and went downstairs without any luggage.
"Howard! If you dare to leave, I'll make you regret for the rest of your life!"
Howard had already gotten used to such kind of threats. Without looking back, he said, "If | stay, | will regret it
for the rest of my life!"
Eve swayed. Her tears had dried up these two days. They had been a couple for almost forty years, yet Howard
abandoned the relationship that easily...
She glanced blankly at the big bed they had shared and made a decision out of her broken heart!
At the Land of Fragrance.
Howard's leaving caused an immediate shock in the Hopper Family.
It was the first tfor Florence to hear about such news. She was so anxious that she ran back from the beauty
salon immediately and questioned the old lady, who was leaning on the sofa and rubbing her temples,
"Grandma, Owen just calledthat Dad left for a woman!"
Granny Hopper frowned and put down her hand. "That's right. Your father wants to leave his family and be with a
woman, a nobody."
Hearing her grandmother's confirmation, Florence choked up, "Dad is cheating on Mom? He fell in love with
another woman?"
Granny Hopper said with annoyance, "I don't know if your father has fallen in love with another woman, but I'm
certain that he doesn't love Eve anymore!"
"How could that be?" Florence felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Granny Hopper laughed, though she was furious. "When it comes to this kind of thing, Eve should have seen the
bigger picture and endured it for the tbeing. Instead, she decided to corner Howard. Now, look at it. That's
what she got. Is she happy now?"
"Grandma... don't blMom anymore. And | don't want Dad to leave..." Florence covered her face with both
hands, unable to hold back tears.
Seeing her granddaughter was crying, Granny Hopper calmed herself down. "Don't cry. Well take about the
solution when everyone's here." Before Florence returned home, Granny Hopper had called Owen, Nora, Amelia,
and Patrick. She wanted to know what they thought of it.
Half an hour later...
Amelia was the first to arrive, followed by Patrick, Owen, and Nora. All of them had stern expressions on their
faces. No one would have expected that Howard, who they had worried the least, would make such a willful
decision.
Granny Hopper took a few

have any idea?"

Granny Hopper shattered their simple, easy assumptions. "What if Howard does have a crush on that woman
and is determined to divorce your mom?"
Owen and Nora were all at a loss for words.
Seeing that they were all silent, Granny Hopper slowly told them her plan, "In fact, it's not a big deal to marry
another woman these days."
All people present were totally surprised by her suggestion!
Patrick's face changed instantly. "Grandma, you're making a joke, aren't you?"
Granny Hopper narrowed her eyes and said firmly, "I'm serious. This way could not only prevent your parents
from getting divorced but also save our family's reputation..."
"I don't agree!" Patrick interrupted her with a dark face.
Granny Hopper was not angry. After
pausing for a while, she continued,
