“Nancy, about your divorce…” In the hotel, Jory stopped mid-sentence.
Divorce?
Suddenly, Nancy’s gaze darkened. After such a long time, she still didn’t have the courage to tell Caspian about the divorce. But right then, she had no choice but to face reality. She wanted to make public her relationship with Jory and to marry him. But, Caspian was still a problem.
She knew that he was an obstinate man. If she brought up the divorce suddenly, she was worried that he couldn’t accept it and then…
“Jory, I will definitely tell him about it. It’s just that he is stubborn and may not be able to accept it…” Nancy lost her courage.
Previously, she had steeled her heart to divorce him. But later on, Caspian would constantly surprise her with touching gestures, all of which caused Nancy’s guilt to intensify.
“What kind of person is he? If you feel that it’s too difficult for you, I think I can…” Jory hugged her slender waist tightly.
“No, Jory, don’t interfere. The divorce is between Caspian and me. If you meddle with it, it will only make things more complicated.” Nancy’s eyes were filled with resolve.
She was right. If Caspian found out about Jory and her, he would definitely not let Jory get away.
A desperate man was capable of anything, let alone one as stubborn as Caspian.
However, given how long it had been, Caspian naturally noticed something was amiss.
“Joan, I feel that Nancy has changed,” Caspian remarked, looking disheartened.
Joan was immediately alert. “How? Caspian?”
“Joan, I’ll be frank with you. Nancy and I haven’t slept with each other in a very long time. Furthermore, when I was drunk one day, she even whispered in my ear saying…” Caspian recounted what happened the other day.
When Joan saw how dejected Caspian was, she suddenly pitied him. She knew how much Nancy meant to Caspian, but she was also aware that Nancy loved Jory.
“Joan, actually there’s something I have never told you before. Some time ago, I saw Nancy holding another man’s arms walking into the mall. They were hugging and laughing with each other.” Caspian’s expression darkened.
Holding another man’s arm?
Could it be Jory?
Does Caspian already know?
Suddenly, Joan began to worry but it wasn’t about Nancy. She was concerned that Caspian would do something impulsive.
“Did you see who it was?” Joan carefully probed.
Caspian shook his head. “It was too far away, so I didn’t get a good look.”
Luckily he didn’t recognize Jory.
“But, I wonder if it was Jory?” Caspian gave Joan an inquisitive look.
Clasping her hands anxiously, Joan tried to calm herself down.
No matter how foolish a man was, he would naturally become smarter when it came to matters of the heart. Just like in a marriage, a woman would instinctively know if the man was up to something. Furthermore, Nancy’s obvious treatment of Caspian didn’t help matters at all.
“Caspian, are you overthinking it? Perhaps, it was your father-in-law.” Joan tried to defuse the situation.
“Yes, you’re right. It might have been him. But from his figure, it doesn’t look like him.” Caspian furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Of course, it doesn’t. Jory and Simon’s figures look totally different from each other.
“Didn’t you say that it was too far away for you to see properly? Enough, stop letting your imagination run wild. Today, it will be my treat. After all, you have been a big help to Larry given what has happened recently.” Joan changed the topic quickly.
“Sigh, Joan. Don’t be a stranger. Larry is my best buddy. So, I am just doing my duty,” Caspian replied with a smile.
