Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Loyalty

Bethan walked out without a backward glance.

Her final words coiled around Hugh’s heart like tight vines, squeezing tighter with every breath he took.

He wandered through the empty living room, memories of his time with the Olsen family flooding back. That was a kind of warmth he’d never felt with his own family.

Cold moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, turning his unshed tears into glistening diamonds.

This mess with Bethan was his fault. All of it.

They’d been childhood sweethearts, husband and wife. No matter what it took, he’d make her choose to come

back to him.

They’d go back to the way things used to be.

family at the Olsen house when there was a knock at the door.

Arthur shuffling in, dressed in cozy loungewear and slippers.

Bethan set down her sandwich, eyeing his outfit. “Mr. Locke, what’s with the getup?”

Arthur jerked a thumb toward the next house. “Surprise! I moved in next door. We’re neighbors again. Isn’t that awesome?”

Bethan stared at him, speechless.

No wonder she’d run into him so late that night after Megan’s birthday party… He’d already settled in nearby.

Rich people really could do whatever they wanted.

Miranda jumped up to grab an extra plate. “Mr. Locke, you don’t have family here to look after you. Living next door is perfect. Whenever you don’t feel like cooking alone, just pop over!”

Bagy pulled out a chair, grinning. “Mom’s right_The

more, the merrier. Sit, Arthur!”

Arthur plopped down, chatting easily with the family as they ate.

Barry turned to Miranda. “Mom, the SAT’s only a week away! When Bethan took hers, you wore that lucky dress, your ‘killing it’ color, to drop her off. You gotta do the same for me! Go all out!”

Miranda laughed, shaking her head. “Your sister’s test was years ago, I could still rock that dress then. I’m too old now, lost my curves. It wouldn’t look right.”

Barry winked. “Then make Dad wear it.”

Vincent nearly choked on his coffee.

Bethan fought back a smile. “Dad’s a hard pass. But Mr. Locke’s tall, handsome, and stylish… we could stick him in it if we had to.”

Arthur, mid-bagel bite with an iced coffee in hand, glared at her.

Bagy wiped his mouth, thinking. “How about this? Mom

wears red for ‘red means ready,’ Arthur wears green for ‘green light to ace it,’ and Bethan wears yellow for ‘golden

score’!”

Bethan nodded seriously. “Solid plan. Mom, dig out a few options. Arthur picks first.”

Arthur felt like he had picked the worst time to mooch breakfast.

He grabbed Bethan’s arm, shaking it. “Can’t I just be the driver instead?”

Bethan smiled, shaking her head. “Show some loyalty to a friend. I believe in you.”

Arthur had no comeback.

Bethan patted his shoulder, then cleaned up her plate and headed to work.

At nine a.m., Bethan stepped into Tristen’s office.

Tristen visibly relaxed when he saw her calm, carefree demeanor. “Seeing you like this finally puts my mind at gase.”

Bethan smiled. “Told you, I’ve moved on.”

Tristen sighed. “That Megan seemed so harmless, but she’s ruthless. Total wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Bethan’s lips twitched at the mention of Megan.

Megan getting sent to prison by Hugh was karma. She brought it on herself.

Tristen shook his head. “Mr. Cavill’s a genius in business, but when it came to Megan? His IQ totally tanked. Divorcing you for someone like her… such a waste.”

Bethan corrected him gently. “Hugh wasn’t having an IQ lapse. He was fully lucid.”

She met Tristen’s confused gaze. “Because I loved him too much, he felt untouchable. That’s why he was so sure of

himself.”

He knew she loved him and couldn’t leave. So he thought no matter what he did, she’d forgive him.

Bethan leaned back in her chair. “Now, I just want to

focus on my career. Money’s the only thing I love.”

This failed marriage had taught her a vital lesson: love was optional, not a necessity. She could be whole all on her own.

Tristen nodded approvingly. “Take a few days off to rest, then start prepping content for the September science program.”

It was the first time Tristen had seen such decisiveness in a woman—the kind of clarity that said when to cut ties and move on.

After leaving Tristen’s office, Bethan headed straight to the clinic.

Around eleven, Calvin brought Henry in for a follow-up.

After the appointment, Henry clung to Bethan, refusing to let go.

Calvin looked apologetic. “Dr. Olsen, if you’re free for lunch, I’ll take Henry to the restaurant next door and wait

for you.”

Bethan had been wanting to talk to Calvin anyway, so she agreed.

At the restaurant, while they waited for their food, Calvin stepped out to take a call.

Bethan lifted Henry onto her lap.

“Henry, you’re my godson. From now on, call me godmom, okay?”

She hadn’t corrected him before because his autism had been severe, and he’d refused to interact with strangers. She needed to build trust first.

But now his condition was stable, and she wanted to clear things up. Otherwise, Calvin’s future partner might get the wrong idea, and it’d be hard for Henry to break the

habit later.

Henry looked up at her, grinning. “But I want you to be my real mom.”

Bethan pinched his chubby cheeks gently. “Henry, someday you’ll have a real mom. She’ll love you even more than godmom does.”

Henry’s big eyes wandered, processing her words.

Calvin returned just as Bethan finished speaking.

He sat down, smiling at Henry. “Listen to godmom, buddy. She’ll still care about you just as much.”

Henry hugged Bethan’s arm, pouting. “If I call you godmom, can I still visit grandma, grandpa, and Uncle Barry on weekends?”

Bethan hooked her pinky with his. “Promise.”

Calvin watched them, warmth in his eyes. “Dr. Olsen, my son can be a little clingy. I hope you don’t mind.”

Bethan’s affection for the father-son duo grew.

She patted her chest. “Mr. Byron, if you ever need a hand with anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Calvin set down his utensils, smiling. “Dr. Olsen, you keep calling me ‘Mr. Byron’ like we’re strangers. Makes our friendship feel kinda forced, don’t you think?”

Chapter 305 Being Ignored

Calvin’s words hung in the air, and Bethan felt a flush creep up her neck.

She’d only known Calvin a few months, but his steady, reliable nature had earned her trust. Plus, she and Henry clicked instantly.

With Henry calling her godmom, “Mr. Byron” did sound overly formal. But Calvin was so polished, so quietly dignified, that casualness felt wrong.
