Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 You Have to Take the Chance

At that, they instantly quieted down, chastened.

Outside the restaurant, Megan and her mother, Rachel, stepped out just in time to catch sight of the four dining inside.

Megan lingered by the window, her eyes burning with envy as she watched Hugh peel shrimp for Bethan, Mason pour her juice, and Arthur pile food onto her plate. Her jealousy surged, her vision practically tinged red.

Sure, her background was humble, but she was a dance major graduate from a prestigious arts school.

Her height and poise could hold their own against anyone.

Plus, she’d had work done on her face, transforming her into a striking beauty, and she was also an influencer and live-stream seller with millions of followers.

So what if Bethan came from a wealthy family?

The Olsen family had gone bankrupt long ago. Bethan was nothing more than a fallen heiress, leeching off her husband’s fortune. In Megan’s eyes, Bethan was beneath her now. 1/6

After all, Bethan was just an ordinary doctor, so she couldn’t earn some big money.

Apart from a face that men seemed to trip over themselves for, what else did she have?

Why did everyone gravitate toward her, orbiting her like she was the sun?

What made Bethan better than her?

Rachel, seeing her daughter’s face twist with jealousy, quickly tugged her into the car.

“Didn’t you say Hugh was on the verge of divorcing?” Rachel asked. “Why’s he still out to lunch with his wife?”

Megan clenched her fists, taking deep breaths to steady her roiling emotions.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, “Hugh’s exceptional, and his wife is clinging to him, refusing to let go.”

Rachel tried to soothe her. “Don’t worry, Megan. They don’t have kids. With you and Hudson between them, it’s only a matter of time before they split.”

Then, Rachel’s tone turned skeptical. “Still, they don’t exactly 42

Megan’s chest heaved, her anger barely contained.

“They’re not divorced yet,” she said tightly. “They’re still legally married, sharing the same social circles. So it is normal for them to eat with friends together.”

Rachel pressed further. “Has Hugh mentioned when he’ll bring

you

and Hudson to live with him?”

Megan’s face flickered with frustration, her expression shifting rapidly.

“Mom!” she snapped. “Don’t you know whose son Hudson is?”

Rachel fell silent.

“Hugh feels guilty about me,” Megan continued, her voice strained. “But he’s not insane. I went to great lengths to get him to acknowledge Hudson as his son and to agree to keep his identity a secret. Haven’t you noticed he’s already regretting it?”

She pressed on. “He’s only holding on because he made me a promise, because he feels obligated. It’s just how he is. Do you really think now’s the time for me to push for more?”

Seeing her daughter’s agitation, Rachel softened her tone. “Megan, calm down. Men are fickle-they always want what

they can’t have. You were his first love. No one can compare to you in his heart.”

Megan closed her eyes, exhaustion washing over her.

She was Hugh’s first love, true.

But she’d chased him for a whole year before he agreed to date her.

Even then, Hugh had been reserved, almost detached, as if he

felt no real desire for her.

If it hadn’t been that way, she wouldn’t have spent years abroad, biding her time.

In the end, she’d had to resort to the cheapest tricks to get back

into his life.

Rachel’s voice grew urgent. “You’ve finally hooked a prize catch like Hugh. You can’t let him slip away. The Cavill family is New York’s elite-how many people get a shot like this in their lifetime?”

She added, “Your nephews’ chance to study abroad depends on you. If it comes to it, take Fiona’s advice and make a bold move.”

4/6

Megan’s eyes darted uncertainly.
