Chapter 271 Hugh Absolutely Refuses to Agree

As everyone was chatting and laughing, James arrived.
Although he was in a wheelchair and wearing a white deep V-neck shirt, it couldn’t conceal his rebellious and unruly nature.
Bethan’s parents noticed that both Calvin and James were dressed elegantly and had extraordinary presence.
They glanced at each other, then turned and went into the kitchen, whispering for a while before coming out.
Nine people sat around the large dining table meant for
ten.
With Mason, a social butterfly, there, everyone quickly got acquainted and started chatting together. There wasn’t any awkward silence.
Barry said, “It’s a shame we’re still one person short.”
Bethan took out her phone and made a video call to 17:56
Arthur.

Seeing the whole table was there except for him, Arthur immediately jumped up from his bed. “You’ll pay for eating without me!”
Bethan propped the phone on a holder. “We’ll eat, and you can chat with us.”
During the meal, everyone clinked glasses and drank.
Arthur suddenly asked Bethan, “Bethy, Hugh even took that ugly woman to Europe for their honeymoon. Why haven’t you divorced him yet? Are you crazy?”
Arthur’s single sentence successfully killed the mood.
Bethan looked awkwardly at her parents, then at the
others.
She put down her fork and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that Hugh absolutely refuses to agree.”
The atmosphere at the table became eerily quiet. Even Arthur went silent on the other end.
This made Bethan even more embarrassed.

can help me successfully get a divorce, I’ll prepare a big gift for you.”
As soon as Bethan finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence once again.
Bethan’s parents looked at her with heartache, unsure of what to do.
Barry gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could go fight Hugh right now.
As Gwen was related to Hugh, she sat awkwardly in her seat, not daring to interject.
Calvin, without changing his expression, helped Henry with his food, his peripheral glance sweeping over the others.
James admired the pattern on his water glass while subtly observing Calvin.
“You fool, you really don’t know how to choose a topic.”
Finally, Mason stood up and ended the call with Arthur, Breaking the awkward situation.

Bethan reminded Barry to pour wine for the two important guests.

Her intention to divorce Hugh wasn’t a secret. There was no need to hide it.
Dinner ended, and everyone stayed to play poker for a
while.
They only started to leave after James’ butler came to pick him up.
Bethan saw everyone off at the door. Henry lingered by Bethan’s side, unwilling to leave.
Calvin picked up Henry and said, “Dr. Olsen, I have a business trip next week. Could I trouble you to look after him for two days?”
Bethan agreed readily, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
James looked at Bethan as if she were an idiot.
Not far away, Gwen sighed, “If only Hugh hadn’t been entangled with Megan, and Bethan hadn’t lost that little Baby…”

Mason nudged Gwen with his elbow. “What kind of daydream are you having?”

Gwen’s face fell. “Mason, you knew long ago that Megan’s child wasn’t my brother’s. Why didn’t you say something sooner?”
Mason, wearing a light-colored casual suit and carrying Gwen’s rose gold chain square bag on his shoulder, stood by the car.
Mason said to Gwen, “From the moment Hugh hid picking up Megan from the airport from Bethan and didn’t come home for a month, his heart already didn’t belong to Bethan anymore.
“At that time, Bethan hadn’t yet given up hope on Hugh. If Bethan had known Megan’s child wasn’t Hugh’s, she would have held onto illusions about him. She would have always been in a weak position, and the one. suffering would only ever be her.”
Gwen said to Mason, “Marriage is too terrifying. Dating is better. Date whoever is handsome, and if it doesn’t work out, just move on to the next.
