With great difficulty, Hugh attempted a smile, but no words escaped his lips.

Bethan stepped in, her voice tinged with a mix of nostalgia and sadness. “I recall pestering you to vow you’d only have eyes for me. You called me childish then, and I threw a bit of a fit. Silly me.”

Her self-deprecating smile was like a dagger to Hugh’s heart.

His eyes were bloodshot from pain. Staring blankly at Bethan, he leaned on the railing to keep himself upright, as if his knees were on the verge of giving way.

Bethan’s voice took on a dreamy quality as she recalled the past. “Those days, as a kid, I was always at the Cavills’. Gwen was the life of the party, and we were glued to each other’s hips. Your mom? She was like an angel, treating me like her own. Your grandpa and dad seemed strict, but they were decent to me. That family warmth? I’ve held it close to my heart.”

She gave Hugh a sidelong look, then continued in a soft drawl, “There was this one time after school. Gwen and I snuck out, and then out of nowhere, it started pouring. You and Mason found us, and we huddled under a shed, sharing a box of donuts. It was so simple, but it felt like heaven.

“Those were the good old days,” she murmured, a faraway look

in her eyes.

Hugh’s sobs were raw and broken. Head bowed like a contrite child, he kept whispering Bethan’s pet name and muttering apologies under his breath.

Bethan shook her head at his display of emotion.

“If I hadn’t been so stupidly in love, trying to marry you and believing I could win your heart one day, we’d still be living carefree lives.”

“Please, Bethy,” Hugh pleaded, his voice cracking.

His eyes were a mess of broken emotions, and his throat seemed to be clogged with pain.

Bethan gently wiped away the tears streaming down Hugh’s face. “I know I was a pain in the neck, always causing a stir. Even though you didn’t love me, you spoiled me rotten. When I got on your nerves, you just bit your tongue.”

Looking deep into his eyes, she said sincerely, “When the Olsens were on the brink, you stepped up and married me. Maybe there were reasons behind it, but you saved my family from a disaster.

“Hugh, thanks to the old you. For putting up with me and helping my family out back then.”

“Childish.” “Held it close to her heart.” “Even though he didn’t love her.” “Thanks to the old him Those were keywords in her

Hugh caught them.

First, a bitter smile appeared on his face, then the dam broke, and he wept like a little boy.

He sank to the ground, his sobs echoing in the empty space.

Bethan loomed over him, her expression a mix of sadness and resolve.

“Hugh, Gwen’s like my sister, and your mom’s like my own mother. I cherish this family more than words can say. But if cutting ties with you means losing this family, I’ll do what I have to.”

“You can’t do that!” Hugh howled, his voice full of desperation.

Hugh scrambled to his feet clumsily. Grabbing Bethan’s shoulders, he growled, “You said they’re your family for life. How could you do this?”

With a blank look, Bethan told him, “I’m willing to give up everything just to cut ties with you.”

They stared into each other’s eyes from close range,

Hugh’s hands, gripping Bethan’s shoulders, trembled uncontrollably.

His eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a cornered beast.

His voice was hoarse, and tears rolled down his cold face one by

one.

Standing at over 6 feet tall in front of Bethan, he broke down in

sobs.

Overwhelmed, Hugh hugged Bethan tightly, and the composure he’d maintained these days completely crumbled.

He was desperately holding back panic and fear, his already-hoarse voice quivering violently.

Hugh kept calling Bethan’s name and pleading, “Please, Bethy, don’t leave me!”

They had been friends since childhood and had known each other for over two decades. She was his wife, and he simply couldn’t accept this outcome.

Letting Hugh hug her, Bethan, with an unusually calm look, said, “Hugh, if you still wanna keep the little family bond I’ve got with the Cavill family, if you ever truly felt sorry for me, if you’re really repentant, then let go and set me free!”

Feeling the grip on her loosen gradually, Bethan gently pushed Hugh away.
