Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 A Partner of the Dixon family

She no longer threw tantrums, didn’t cry, or make a fuss.

Every time she smiled at him, the coldness and distance in her eyes were unmistakable.

It was obvious-she had given up.

His cigarette burned out, and Hugh tossed the butt away.

He sent Bethan a text, then got in the car.

Bethan and Tristen had just reached her office floor when her phone pinged.

It was Hugh’s message that he’d pick her up after work.

Bethan switched the phone off without reacting.

Just then, a group of doctors in white coats approached.

Tristen introduced her to everyone, then led her into a spacious office prepared just for her.

Bethan surveyed the space-reception area, break room, work desk, and even a lounge.

She hesitated. “Tristen, isn’t this a bit too lavish?”

Tristen tapped a desk ornament, grinning. “You’re not just an employee here, Bethan. You’re a partner of the Dixon family. A private office and clinic are only fitting.”

He called the intercom, and a young woman in a white coat entered.

“This is Joe Stone,” Tristen said. “She’s your assistant from now on.”

Bethan studied Joe Stone, feeling a flicker of familiarity.

She glanced at Tristen, who smiled but didn’t explain.

Joe leaned in, whispering something to Bethan, then sheepishly touched her ear.

Bethan couldn’t help but laugh.

She turned to Tristen, her eyes warm. “Thank you.” 2/7

Joe, as it turned out, was Anne’s niece.

Tristen, knowing Anne was Bethan’s childhood violin teacher and close to the Olsen family, had given Joe the

assistant role.

The rest of the day, Bethan threw herself into learning the hospital’s layout and bonding with her colleagues.

She gained clarity on her goals for the coming months.

It was a full, joyful day for her.

Work had always been her refuge.

Moving forward, she’d set aside her troubles, focus on healing Arthur, and build her department’s reputation

fast.

As the workday ended, Tristen treated the entire department to dinner.

Since the department was new and she was a key figure, she couldn’t skip it.

Buy she also knew her marriage agreement with Hugh7:02

required her to prioritize family time outside work hours.

After work, the team headed to a restaurant.

Bethan stepped out of the hospital and called Hugh.

His recent tenderness wasn’t out of pity for her punishment or because she was his wife.

It was all for show, to maintain his image as a good husband.

He placated her only to keep her as his shield.

If she crossed him, he’d turn on her without hesitation, teaching her a lesson.

When he picked up, Bethan kept her tone neutral. “The department’s having a team dinner tonight. I’ll be home late.”

On the other end of the line, Hugh said nothing. Then the call disconnected.

Bethan frowned, uneasy.

As she hesitated, unsure what to do, Hugh appeared in

front of her.

Hesitating, she explained, “I have dinner with colleagues tonight. You should head back first.”

Hugh took the bag off her shoulder. “But I already made a reservation. I was planning to celebrate with you.”

Bethan had expected to have a long-winded argument, but to her surprise, Hugh readily agreed to her dinner gathering with colleagues.

The only condition was that he’d drive her there.

When they reached the hotel entrance, Hugh got out of the car and opened the door for Bethan.

He took her hand gently and said with a tender look in his eyes, “Have a great time. I’ll pick you up later tonight.”

Their eyes met.

Bethan thought Hugh had been acting oddly these days.
