Chapter 141 I Picked It Up from You

Her voice dropped into a soft, careful plea. “You’ve treated her so well. You’ve been nothing but patient and indulgent. I honestly don’t think she deserves you.”

Hugh’s expression darkened, his tone cutting through her words. “You must be mistaken.”

Bethan loved him. Even when they fought, she would never do something that reckless.

It was nearly three-thirty in the morning when Bethan finally returned home.

Exhausted, she pushed open the front door. Hugh was waiting for her in the entryway, dressed in dark sleepwear, his face a cold mask in the dim light.

Hugh’s sudden appearance startled Bethan so badly that any trace of sleepiness vanished instantly. She bent down. to retrieve the stuffed animals scattered across the flqg541 then brushed past him into the house without a word.

Hugh caught her arm, his gaze locking onto the colorful plush toys clutched against her chest. His tone had a dangerous edge as he spoke, “Where the hell have you been this late?”

Bethan glanced at him but remained-silent. She twisted away from his grip and headed toward the living room, leaving him standing there.

The dismissal made Hugh’s expression turn thunderous. He followed her, his voice growing sharper. “Bethan. I’m talking to you.”

When she continued to ignore him, he grabbed her wrist

-hard.

The force of it sent the stuffed animals tumbling from her arms, scattering across the floor like fallen petals.

Bethan surveyed the stuffed animals scattered across the floor, her voice eerily calm as she addressed Hugh. “So you stayed up half the night just to ask me this?”

“Why are you so late?” Hugh pressed, his question hanging between them.

They stared at each other for several tense seconds before Bethan’s lips curved into a smile. “Hugh, our prenup doesn’t exactly include a curfew.”

Her words hit him like a punch to the gut. His chest rose and fell as he struggled to keep his voice steady. “After the press conference, I reminded you we needed to be at Cavill Manor tonight.”

“Oh, right,” Bethan said with a casual shrug. “You mentioned it. Doesn’t mean I agreed to it.”

Hugh’s eyes never left her face, searching for some crack in her composure. “And when I called you? Why did you hang up on me?”

“Probably hit the button by accident,” she replied, her tone so dismissive it was almost insulting.

The anger simmered just beneath Hugh’s controlled exterior. He’d always prided himself on staying level-headed, but the photos and explanations Megan had given him were eating at him. Still, he needed answers before jumping to conclusions.

“Don’t tell me your phone dying was also an ‘accident,”” he said, his voice carrying a dangerous edge.

“Nah, that one’s legit. Battery died.”

Hugh’s chest felt tight, like he couldn’t get enough air. He paced before Bethan, restless energy radiating off him before he stopped dead and fixed her with a hard stare.

Bethan sat on the couch with her head down, the picture of calm composure-like she was ready for whatever he was about to throw at her.

A vein pulsed at Hugh’s temple as he fought to keep his voice steady. “Bethan, we’re married. You disappeared all night without a word, didn’t even call-did you think about how that would make me feel?”

Before he’d even finished speaking, Bethan shot to her feet. She stepped right up to him, tilting her head back to meet his eyes.

“Oh, so now we’re married?” Her voice was deadly quiet. “Funny how you didn’t remember that when you were lying to me, spending every waking moment with your precious girlfriend and her kid.”

She sneered, “Where was all this concern for my feelings when you kept choosing her over me? I stayed out late- I didn’t cheat on you. Why are you making such a big deal out of nothing?”

They stood there locked in a staring contest, neither willing to back down. Hugh’s jaw was clenched so tight she could see the muscle twitching. His eyes bored into hers.

The silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating.

Hugh finally broke the silence. “So you leaked my relationship with Hudson to the press, then tipped off Megan to bring him to the launch event. You wanted to expose everything between me and them, didn’t you?”

Bethan wasn’t surprised that Hugh had figured it out. She admitted it without batting an eye. “Yeah, I played you both. Too bad it didn’t work out the way I planned. I’N definitely do better next time.”

Hugh stared at her in disbelief, his expression frozen. “When did you become so calculating?” he demanded, his 5/6
