Late that third night, Hugh finally dragged himself home.

Bethan had come out to get some water when she saw Hugh stumble through the door, reeking of alcohol. She set down her glass and headed toward the bedroom.

Hugh lost it.

He threw his suit jacket aside and grabbed Bethan from behind, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

Bethan struggled, warning him, “Hugh, don’t you dare try this drunk crap on me!”

Hugh’s voice was muffled and broken.

He tightened his grip on her. “Bethan, I’ve been drinking, but I’m not drunk.”

Bethan turned her head away from his hot, boozy breath. “If you’re not drunk, then let me go.”

“I haven’t been home for three days,” Hugh said. “Aren’t 1/ you even gonna ask where I’ve been?”

Bethan thought Hugh was acting more like a child every day.

She broke free from his hold and turned to face him. “You lied and disappeared for a month to take care of Megan and her son without a second thought. Three days means nothing to me, Hugh.”

They stared at each other.

Bethan’s gaze was ice-cold.

Hugh pressed a hand to his chest.

He didn’t know when it started, but every time he saw that distant, cold look in Bethan’s eyes, a sharp pain would shoot through his heart.

Seeing Hugh’s face go pale, Bethan hesitated for a second but didn’t care. She turned to leave.

Hugh pushed through the stabbing pain in his chest and grabbed her wrist. “Bethan, my chest hurts. Don’t go.”

Bethan stopped and shook off his hand.

lowest, I cried until I passed out-completely alone in some disgusting employee dorm in Canada. So don’t talk to me about pain. Whatever you’re feeling right now? It’s nothing compared to what you put me through.”

They stood close, staring at each other, and Hugh’s heart ached as he pulled her into his arms again.

His voice was desperate. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault!”

Hugh couldn’t stand to imagine how Bethan had survived alone in Canada.

Bethan fought against him hard, and Hugh lost control, holding her even tighter.

Hugh spoke, his voice pleading. “Bethy, I agree to the divorce. Let’s start over.”

Bethan stopped struggling.

She stood there frozen in shock.

When she snapped out of it, she broke free from Hugh’s arms and looked into his eyes. “Hugh, say that again!” 3/10

“I respect your decision. I agree to the divorce.”

“Hugh,” Bethan said, “if you really want a divorce, we don’t have to wait. We don’t have kids, I’m leaving with nothing so there’s no property to fight over, and Mr.

Byron is already handling the legal stuff for me. Today’s Friday. Come with me to the courthouse on Monday. I’ll bring all the paperwork, and as long as you show up, we can get our divorce papers.”

Hugh pushed through the heartache and pulled Bethan into his arms one more time.

He had never cherished a hug like this before.

“I’ll give you half of everything I own,” he said. “I already had Jacob draft the papers. Whatever you’re entitled to from our marriage, I won’t keep a penny.”

Bethan looked down, hiding what she was feeling.

So Hugh had made his decision during those three days

away.

She knew it. Eventually, Hugh would cave for Megan’s Saken

She didn’t want to fight about money with Hugh right now. Whether he gave it to her or not, as long as they could get divorced, that was enough.

Bethan spoke to Hugh as gently as she could manage. “Hugh, we have the same family, the same friends, the same circle. If we can end things gracefully and part ways amicably, that’s the best we can hope for.”

Right now, Hugh just wanted to hold her properly.

He couldn’t stand to let her go. His voice was quiet, with a plea she’d never heard before.

“I promise I’ll go to the courthouse with you on Monday. Just spend this weekend with me, okay?”

Bethan calmly pushed Hugh away. “I hope you keep your word.”

All night.

Bethan tossed and turned, sleep refusing to come.

Hugh sat alone in his study, wide awake until dawn. 5/10

The next day was Saturday. At noon, Bethan pulled herself together and went with Hugh back to the Cavill

estate.

Getting out of the car, Hugh took Bethan’s hand.

Meeting Hugh’s careful, gentle look, Bethan didn’t pull

away.

That old bastard was no joke. It was better not to mention Hugh agreeing to the divorce yet, to avoid drama.

Ryan and Fiona had different expressions when they saw the two walk into the living room holding hands.

Ryan said, “Looks like you’re both serious about making this marriage work. If that’s the case, you need to have a baby-the sooner the better.”

Hugh and Bethan glanced at each other but said nothing —no agreement, no refusal.

After dinner, Hugh left with Bethan.

Ryan said, “I knew she couldn’t actually divorce Hugh8:07

Fiona shot Ryan a look, frowned, and went back to her

room.

In the car, Bethan noticed the road ahead getting familiar. She asked Hugh, “Where are you taking me?”

Hugh glanced at Bethan, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding her arm. “We’ll be there soon.”

A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of their old house.

Hugh turned off the engine, then unbuckled his seatbelt. “It’s been a while since we’ve been here. Want to go in and look around?”

Bethan sat in the passenger seat without moving.

“I don’t want to go into a place that’s been ruined,”

Bethan said.

Hugh froze, his hand on the car door.

He turned back to look at Bethan, his eyes gradually darkening. 7/10

“Bethan, whether you believe it or not, I never wanted any other woman to set foot in our home.”

Bethan knew she was the one who brought Megan into

their house.

Because Hugh was already beyond saving by then.

Even if his body stayed faithful, his heart didn’t. And that made him just as much of a cheater.

The air in the car grew heavy.

Hugh rolled down both windows, letting the scent of magnolia from the yard drift inside.

Seeing how pale Bethan looked, he quickly changed the subject. “That magnolia tree you planted-looks like it bloomed early this year.”
