Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Baby, Mommy Won’t Abandon Daddy

The last Monday of May, 11:45 a.m.

Hugh and Bethan walked out of the courthouse side by

side.

Bethan hadn’t expected the divorce to go so smoothly.

She held up the divorce decree, checking it out in the sunlight.

Everything went smoothly.

No complications. No waiting period.

A slow smile spread across Bethan’s face. All that stress and anxiety she’d been carrying around just… disappeared. She felt incredibly light and free.

Her smile cut Hugh like a knife. The divorce decree in his hand was already crumpled from how tightly he was gripping it.

“You’re really that happy about this?” Hugh asked, his

Bethan suddenly remembered Hugh was still there and quickly stuffed the decree into her purse.

Her phone kept buzzing. “Well, we’re done here. You don’t have to stick around. Go handle whatever you need to. Just set my suitcase down-I’ll grab a cab home.”

Now that they were divorced, Bethan’s tone toward Hugh had gotten way warmer.

Hugh swallowed the mess of emotions churning in his

chest.

“It’s already noon. Let me buy you lunch first, then I’ll drive you back.”

Before Bethan could say no, Hugh added, “I need to tell you something.”

Bethan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Fine. Mr. ` Cavill, the breakup meal’s on me.”

That “Mr. Cavill” hit Hugh like a slap to the face.

Once they got in the car, Hugh went completely silent.

Bethan just ignored him and pulled out the divorce decree again, looking at it from every angle before getting out her phone.

She didn’t look even a little bit sad for someone who just got divorced.

Right as Bethan was about to take a picture, Hugh reached over to stop her.

Bethan pushed his hand away. “Mr. Cavill, we’re nothing to each other now. You can’t tell me what to do.”

Hugh’s face darkened as he shoved the decree back in her

purse.

“I’m the CEO of Cavill Group. My divorce is going to go public whether I want it to or not. Jacob’s already working on a statement-the company will make an announcement. Until we figure out how to handle this, you can’t post anything online.”

Bethan realized he had a point.

“Yeah, okay. I got a little carried away. I’ll wait a few Bays

Hugh stared at her, his jaw clenched tight. “…

They picked a restaurant and ordered.

After the waiter left, Hugh automatically started cutting Bethan’s steak before sliding the plate over to her.

“Hugh, we’re divorced now. You don’t have to do stuff like that anymore,” Bethan said.

Hugh got serious. “You promised me if I agreed to the divorce, you’d give me a chance to win you back.”

He held her gaze. “Starting now, I’m going to do this right. I’ll work as hard as it takes-until you’re satisfied.”

Bethan shook her head. “I did say that if you divorced me, I’d give you another shot. But you never actually agreed to it back then.”

Hugh’s expression turned dark. “If I hadn’t given in, even with Calvin and James helping you, you never would’ve gotten this divorce!”

“You divorced me for Megan, not for me. That doesn’t edunt,” Bethan said flatly.

Hugh hadn’t expected her to back out like this.

He stared at her, his face like a storm cloud.

“Whether you believe it or not, I will make you come back to me. Willingly. And I’ll prove that everything I feel for you is real.”

Bethan pressed her lips together.

Even if you cut Hugh’s chest open and dug through his heart, you still wouldn’t find anything real in there.

Bethan finished every bite of her meal. Hugh barely touched his.

When they left the restaurant, Hugh insisted on driving Bethan back to her parents’ house.

3 PM, outside the Olsen family house.

Bethan’s parents had gotten the news and were waiting anxiously by the front door.

When they saw Hugh and Bethan get out of the car Fogether, both their faces changed.

Hugh set Bethan’s suitcase by the door and looked at her parents. “Vincent, Miranda.”

Vincent sighed. “Since you’re divorced, you should go

live your own lives. You don’t need to come around here anymore.”

He picked up the suitcase and turned to go inside.

When Miranda started to follow, Hugh’s eyes reddened. “Miranda.”

Miranda stopped and said to Hugh, “We’re not family anymore.”

Hugh stood there watching Bethan’s parents walk away, feeling completely crushed.

His whole life, his grandfather and dad had been super strict with him. His parents were always fighting.

Only at the Olsen house had he ever felt like he was part of a real family.

Bethan’s parents had always loved him. When he aced a fest, they celebrated with him. When his company took:12

They’d treated him like their own son, and he’d hurt them. Let them down.

Hugh called out to Miranda’s retreating figure, his voice raw. “I’m going to make you guys accept me again. I swear it.”

Miranda stopped but didn’t turn around.

Bethan really didn’t want to say it, but she needed to make things crystal clear with him.

“Hugh, just stop. The second I decided to leave you, I never planned on looking back.”

Bethan started to leave, but Hugh grabbed her wrist.

Bethan yanked free. “If Megan knew you divorced me, she’d probably be so happy her illness would magically get better. Go celebrate with her.”

Hugh stood there, completely unable to explain.

After Bethan got home, her parents couldn’t help asking,

“You’re really divorced?”

Bethan showed them the decree.

Only then did Vincent finally relax.

Miranda sat on the couch, holding Bethan as tears streamed down her face.

“This is good. You’re free now. We’ll find someone way better,” Miranda said.

To make her parents feel better, Bethan nodded.

One failed marriage was enough. She didn’t expect anything from love anymore.
