Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391 Drunken?

Two nights later, to express her gratitude to Tristen for putting in a word at the auction house and arranging that internship at the Dixon family’s hospital, Bethan took her out for a bite.

Around nine, as they strolled out of the diner, there was Mason hopping out of his car.

He gave Tristen a quick nod and then, all flustered, said he needed a word with Bethan.

Taking the hint, Tristen split.

Bethan was set on going straight home, but Mason told her Gwen was waiting for her in a private room at the Regal Club and practically dragged her there.

As soon as she stepped into the room, the stench of booze hit her.

Gwen jumped up and greeted her, “Hey, Bethan! We’re just having a little get-together. Hugh’s three sheets to the wind.”

Bethan glanced at Hugh, who sprawled on the couch, looking like he was out for the count.

Exchanging a sly look with Mason Gwen grabbed her pux Close and bolted.

Mason tried to explain, “Sorry, Bethan. Hugh’s been shouting your name since he got plastered. There’s a private suite for him upstairs. You two are practically married, so staying to look after him for the night ain’t no biggie.”

With that, he shut the door and hustled Gwen out.

Bethan plopped down next to Hugh.

She knew he could hold his liquor, and he usually steered clear of these kinds of bashes.

Drunk?

Calling my name?

Yeah, right.

She cracked her knuckles and gave Hugh a little nudge.

When he didn’t budge, her hand snaked down to his thigh, and she gave it a good twist.

Hugh’s brows shot up in pain.

Bethan stood up, her face like thunder.

But Hugh grabbed her wrist.

She stared him down, yanked her hand back, and said, “Giving up the act?”

Looking up at her intently, Hugh slowly got up.

Standing in front of her, he mumbled, “I really was drunk.”

Bethan gave him a knowing look and asked, “Alright, whose bright idea was this?”

After a moment of staring contest, Hugh hung his head and muttered, “Mason.”

That single word ratted both himself and Mason out.

Bethan let out a short laugh.
