Scarlett replied coolly, "I don't blame you, Harbour. The problem isn't you, so there's no need to feel guilty."

Harbour pressed on. "Honestly, I always thought you two were a great match. I could see how much you gave to Yardley, and it’s his fault for hurting you. But he really knows he messed up now. He's been drinking heavily tonight, and he desperately doesn't want this divorce. Scarlett, could you...?"

Scarlett couldn't help but scoff. "Harbour, he even started suspecting my daughter wasn't his. Do you honestly think there's any chance of us staying together?"

"Don't try to play mediator. There's no point in dragging yourself into this mess. There is zero possibility for him and me. In the past, if he got drunk, I would rush to pick him up immediately. Now, even if he drank himself to death in the streets, I wouldn't show my face."

Hearing the sheer finality in her voice, Harbour knew better than to push it. "Alright, it sounds like your mind is made up. I won't say anymore. Take care of yourself, and look after the baby."

"Thank you."

Harbour hung up and let out another long sigh...

He headed back into the private booth, only to find another empty whiskey bottle next to Yardley. Resigned, he patted his friend's shoulder.

"It is what it is. I don't think you need to sit here drowning in self-pity. If you can't save it, just look forward."

"A guy like you can have any woman you want. If Scarlett can be that decisive, you should be too."

"I heard from Gordon Wyatt that she's currently surrounded by handsome guys. You need to let it go too. Find some pretty women, blow off some steam. Don't bottle it all up; it's bad for you."

"Tell you what, I'll call a few gorgeous girls over to keep you company tonight. Don't say no. Just give it a try. Maybe they'll help you forget whatever it was Scarlett gave you. You know what they say—the best way to get over a woman is to get under another one."
