Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 What a Joke

Outside the stall, Bethan smiled in satisfaction as she noticed Nola and Jasper hadn’t emerged yet.

After that, they made their way back to the car.

Hugh, wearing a cautious look, broached the subject. “You still haven’t told me if we can celebrate our birthdays together this year.”

Their gazes met, and Bethan gave a firm nod.

“No worries. We’ll do it together, like always.”

Hugh smiled while Bethan calmly fastened her seatbelt. She was scheming to come back later and stir things up even more.

She was certain that by the time of their birthday party, a “big surprise” would be in store.

Upon arriving home, Bethan immediately plugged her phone. in to charge.

And without delay, she transferred all the money for the seafood they’d bought to Hugh.

Hugh fixated on the transfer notification on his phone, his qxpression turning a bit gloomy.

Looking up, he questioned Bethan, “Do we really have to be so strict about the money? It’s no big deal.”

Bethan stood her ground. “Come on, I only asked you to pay because I forgot my wallet. I can’t just let it slide like that.”

Hugh lowered his head, disguising the emotions in his eyes. His heart was pounding erratically.

Usually, Bethan would take things from him without a second thought, and she’d never kept track of things this clearly with him before.

His mind in a muddle, Hugh’s face paled.

Bethan chose to ignore his troubled expression.

She said, “You know, you really helped my parents a lot when they were buying the house. Got them a great deal and saved a bundle.”

Then, her tone shifted. “But what your grandpa and dad blurted out yesterday? It really hit me and my family hard. I could’ve sued them for slander, but I held back for your sake. Think of the money you saved on the house as payback for the mental pain they caused.”

Hugh remained in front of Bethan, yearning to get closer but hesitant, afraid of pushing her away.

In a tender voice, he asked, “We were having a great time at the market. What happened? Why are you suddenly acting so distant?”

Bethan couldn’t reveal her true thoughts.

She softened her tone a bit. “Hugh, I’m not mad at you, okay? But there’s a huge gap between our worlds. Maybe it’s better if we keep some space between us.”

Hugh stared at her blankly, then suddenly seized her hands.

With a serious look, he declared, “Bethy, if I ditch my claim to be the Cavill family heir and become an ordinary person, would you give us another shot?”

They were face-to-face, hardly an inch apart.

Bethan tugged at her hands, but Hugh’s grip tightened.

Frustrated, she exclaimed, “You know better than anyone how your grandpa and dad are. If you give up the inheritance for me, they’ll come after me like sharks!

“Even with all your power now, you can’t fully break free from them. If you become a regular guy, we’ll both be sitting ducks. They’ll do whatever they want with us.”

Hugh’s intense gaze remained fixed on Bethan, and gradually, he released his hold.

In this situation, it seemed their relationship could only go downhill.
