Chapter 235 You’re Dirty

Bethan stepped back. “You’re dirty. Don’t touch me.”

Hugh froze mid-motion, his entire body stilled.

Megan, seeing the misunderstanding take root, let a flicker of triumph spark in her eyes.

She feigned innocence and hurried forward. “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Cavill. Please don’t take it the wrong way. I tripped just now, and Hugh was only helping me up.”

Bethan ignored her. Her gaze cut into Hugh, sharp and steady. “This is the business dinner you told me about?”

Hugh had no answer.

Fiona had forced him here. He’d lied about work to keep Bethan from worrying.

But now, of all nights, she had to walk straight into this.

Bethan’s lips tightened. “Tell me, Hugh, have I ever stopped you from being with her?”

His chest tightened with unease. He tried to close the distance between them.

But Bethan’s voice lashed out again. “Don’t come closer. I can smell another woman on you, and I can’t stand it.”

Her words struck like a blade. Hugh’s chest ached as he stripped off his jacket and flung it to the ground right there in

front of her.

Megan’s face went stiff, jealousy burning through her. His gesture cut her deeper than any words could.

Hugh’s composure finally cracked. He strode forward and gripped Bethan’s arm with desperate force.

He said, “Bethan, listen to me. I came here to deal with her, not to be with her. This isn’t a date.”

Before Bethan could respond, he rushed on, voice tight. “My driver’s right there in the car. I called her down to talk here on the street to avoid any misunderstandings. I hid it from you only because I didn’t want you overthinking things.”

Bethan yanked her arm free, stumbling back a few steps.

She pulled a pack of tissues from her bag and scrubbed furiously at the spot where his hand had touched her.

Hugh’s face darkened, his expression stormy and unreadable.

Bethan tossed the tissue aside, eyes locking on his. “I don’t

Her tears spilled over, her voice trembling as she forced out a sob. “We grew up together. More than twenty years as childhood sweethearts, three years as husband and wife—and still, for the woman you really love, you betray me again and again. What am I in your eyes? What am I worth?”

The sight of her crying made Hugh’s chest twist painfully.

He stepped closer, voice softening. “Bethan, it’s not what you think. Please, let’s go home. I’ll explain everything.”

But as he reached for her, Bethan broke into a run, tears streaming, darting straight into the street.

Just then, a flashy sports car rolled to a stop.

Arthur slid off his sunglasses, his lips curving in greeting.

Bethan climbed into the car with wet cheeks and shaking hands. “Mr. Locke, please take me away from here.”

Arthur cast one cool glance at Hugh and Megan before slipping his glasses back on.

“Bethan!” Hugh lunged forward, trying to pull her out of the passenger seat, but Arthur’s foot hit the gas.

The engine roared, and in seconds the car vanished down the street, leaving Hugh standing there with nothing but the echo of tires in the rain.

Hugh started toward his own car, but Megan rushed in front of him, blocking his way.

“Hugh,” she said carefully, “Mrs. Cavill and Mr. Locke are close. She’ll be fine with him. Just give her some time to calm down.”

His patience snapped.

He shoved her aside with a warning growl. “Megan, stop scheming. Don’t ever pull something like this again.”

She braced herself and pleaded, “I wasn’t scheming! I really did trip just now and fell into your arms by accident.”

But Hugh wasn’t listening. His gaze was locked on the direction Bethan had disappeared, jaw clenched tight. Megan’s tears spilled over. “Even if I still care about you, even if I can’t control my feelings—how is that wrong?”

When Hugh finally turned his eyes back to her, the look he gave was sharp, dangerous.

Megan’s throat dried, but she pushed on anyway. “We were
