Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 What Are You to Me?

The silence of the night amplified Hugh’s swirling emotions, crashing over him like a tidal wave.

He lost count of the drinks he’d downed. Everything blurred into a hazy fog, leaving him unsure if he was awake, asleep, or trapped in a vivid dream.

When Jemma roused him from the couch the next

morning, Hugh sat up wearily, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Jemma, didn’t I tell you…”

“Mr. Cavill, Mrs. Fiona Cavill is worried about you living alone,” Jemma cut in quickly. “She asked me to come take care of your meals and daily things.”

Hugh said nothing, dragging himself to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, he emerged fully dressed, only to be stopped by Jemma again.

“Mr. Cavill, breakfast is ready. Mrs. Fiona Cavill insisted you eat before leaving.”

Hechesitated, then turned toward the kitchen.

Alone at the dining table, his gaze automatically drifted to Bethan’s empty seat-once always filled with her bright smile, now just a cold, silent space.

His knuckles whitened around his spoon before he forced his eyes away, staring at the oatmeal in front of him with no trace of appetite.

Memories flooded in unbidden.

One afternoon, he’d come home early to find Bethan in the kitchen, wearing silly cartoon pajamas, fumbling to

make dinner for him.

She hummed off-key, her movements clumsy, and when hot oil splattered her hand, she just ran it under cold water and kept stirring, grinning like it was no big deal….

Hugh’s hand shook so badly he could barely hold the spoon. It clattered against the table, then rolled off, shattering on the floor. The sound jolted him back to reality.

Staring at the oatmeal stains on his white shirt, he went to change.

In the walk-in closet, he reached for cufflinks, then paused.

On their second wedding anniversary, Bethan had given him a pair of diamond cufflinks.

He dropped the plain ones in his hand and started rummaging.

After ten fruitless minutes, he called Jemma in.

Jemma stood awkwardly at the door. “Mr. Cavill, only you and Mrs. Bethan Cavill ever used the master bedroom. She organized everything herself. I really don’t know where the cufflinks are. Maybe… you should call her?”

Hugh hesitated, then dialed Bethan’s number.

Her voice, familiar yet distant, made his tone soften unconsciously. “I remember you gave me diamond cufflinks for our second anniversary. Do you know which drawer you put them in?”

“You’re mistaken,” Bethan’s cold voice cut through the

line. “I never gave you any gifts.”

Before he could respond, the call went dead.

Hugh swayed, grabbing the cabinet door to steady himself.

“She’s just angry,” he muttered. “They have to be here.”

Jemma watched him tear through the closet. helpless. until the doorbell rang.

She rushed to answer it, relieved to see Gwen. “Ms. Gwen Cavill, good to have you here! Please talk some sense into Mr. Cavill.”

After hearing Jemma’s explanation, Gwen stepped into the closet. Jewelry and ties were scattered across the

floor.

She grabbed Hugh’s arm to stop him. “Stop looking, Hugh. The cufflinks she gave you are long gone.”

Hugh’s hand froze on a drawer handle. “What do you

mean, gone?”

Gwen’s heart ached looking at his haggard face and bloodshot eyes.

She looked away, then forced the truth out. “When Bethan burned all the gifts you gave her, she sold every single thing she’d bought for you to secondhand dealers.”

Hugh stumbled backward, slamming into the cabinet with a loud thud. “That’s impossible. She loves me so much, she wouldn’t do that.”

He lunged for another drawer, frantic.

Gwen’s eyes filled with tears. “She did, Hugh. Not a single piece is left.”

“Impossible!” he roared.

“Wake up!” Gwen shook him. “Those gifts are just like Bethan… you can’t get them back!”

Hugh’s emotions were completely shattered.

Gwen couldn’t hold him back on her own. She could only watch as Hugh searched blindly.

Trying to make him see reason, she added, “Hugh, when Bethan carefully picked out those diamond cufflinks for you, you never wore them once.

“Do you know how crushed she was? You didn’t cherish her when she was here, and now it’s too late.”

“Shut up!” Hugh’s voice cracked, his eyes red-rimmed. “She’s just being stubborn. She’ll come back.”

Gwen sighed, helpless. “Grandpa called yesterday, but you didn’t answer. He wants you at Cavill Manor tonight.”

Before leaving, she told Jemma to keep a close eye on

him.

At ten a.m., Hugh dragged himself to the office.

Jacob entered quietly, the air so tense it felt suffocating.

Hugh sat in his chair, dark suit clinging to his exhausted frame, eyes closed as he leaned back.

Jacob set documents on the desk, then spoke carefully. “Mr. Cavill, our people confirmed. Mr. Keating is injured.”

Hugh’s eyes snapped open, his posture straightening.

“Perpetrator’s from the G.B. Business Association-old enemies of Mr. Keating’s. They’re gunning for trouble.”

Hugh’s eyes narrowed, his face unreadable, but the air around him turned cold enough to freeze the room.
