“Alright, don’t worry about it. I won’t tell Nancy. We have to get to the bottom of this,” Joan said determinedly.
However, she was not totally convinced either. Joan was worried that it might have something to do with Nancy.
If this was all planned out by her, then…
No, that’s impossible. Even if Nancy was set on divorcing Caspian, she wouldn’t have resorted to such a despicable trick. No, it can’t be Nancy.
Joan kept trying to convince herself that Nancy did not do it.
Even though she was keen on getting a divorce from Caspian so that she could be together with Jory, Nancy couldn’t have stooped so low to frame the man. Besides, Simon wouldn’t have let her off the hook if he found out that his daughter had done this.
Both marriage and divorce should be done in dignified ways.
It seemed like there was more to it, and Joan had a hunch that things were only going to get worse from then onward.
Suddenly, a person’s face popped into Joan’s mind.
It was Jory.
That man had always been distant and ruthless to others, sparing no mercy. Could it have something to do with him?
“Nancy, where are you right now? Do you want to have lunch together?” Joan decided to ask Nancy out.
“Joan, I’m out right now. Um, why don’t you send me the address and I’ll get there as soon as possible…” Nancy said as if she was in a rush.
“Who is that? Why the hurry?” A man’s voice could be heard coming from the other end of the phone.
If Joan was not mistaken, it was Jory’s.
They are together right now.
Has Nancy really been blinded by love? Why is she getting together with that man, disregarding her reputation?
Otherwise, why would Caspian get drunk and have sex with another woman?
Joan blamed Nancy for all that happened.
She sighed. But who am I to judge?
Maybe in the olden days, she would be shamed for not staying true to her husband, but they were no longer in the olden days. Nowadays, Nancy would be avowed as a woman who was fearless in her pursuit of true love.
Joan felt her head going dizzy right then.
“What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well? What if you take a raincheck and go tomorrow instead?” Larry massaged her temples and said.
“Don’t worry, I’m alright. I have to go there and talk to her. I need to see if this has anything to do with her. If she’s really aware of it, I’m going to be so disappointed in her…” Joan’s face fell.
She had faith in Nancy, and that was the reason she had given Nancy time for her to come clean to Caspian. However, she had not expected things to take such a turn.
Life would always get in the way of one’s plans, given its unpredictable nature, just like Caspian would never have imagined that the woman would appear in front of him and that he would have cheated on Nancy with her.
Meanwhile in the restaurant. “Joan, is there something going on? Why are you rushing to see me?” Nancy looked at Joan with a puzzled look on her face.
“Um… Nancy, how are you and Caspian doing right now?” Joan was trying to sound her out.
“Oh, that. Not much progress on that front. I still haven’t told him anything, and I have no idea how to break the news to him either. But I think it will be soon,” said Nancy as she took a sip of her coffee.
Soon? What does she mean by soon?
“Do you mean you’ve figured out how to break the news to him?” Joan pressed on.
“Yeah. I mean, there’s really nothing left between Caspian and me. We’re better off as friends, and a divorce is really inevitable, and I think better sooner rather than later. I’m planning to come clean to him during the weekend,” Nancy explained while she kept her head low.
