“Caspian?” Nancy called out gently.
Still, Caspian did not respond. Nancy slowly made her way to the bedside.
“Ah? Oh, Nancy, you’re back. When did you come back home? Are you hungry?” Caspian set his back straight and looked at the woman before him.
What is the matter with him today? Why is he in a daze?
Bemused, Nancy regarded Caspian.
However, Caspian was still contemplating whether he should tell Nancy about what happened between him and the woman in the hotel.
Maybe we would get divorced if I told her, and maybe Nancy wouldn’t forgive me her whole life. But if I don’t, then this will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Man, what should I do…
“Um, Nancy, are you tired? What did you do today? Do you want to eat something? I can make something for you…” Caspian was trying to appease her.
What is the matter with Caspian today? The longer he’s acting like this, the more uneasy Nancy felt.
“Um, Caspian, please don’t act like that. I’m not tired. Don’t worry, I’m all good.” Nancy managed an awkward smile.
Caspian felt a pang of guilt as he looked at his wife.
What should I do? Should I just tell him everything and explain it to him?
Meanwhile, Nancy was debating with herself.
What they did not know was, the two of them had the same thing in mind. Caspian had no idea if he should be honest to Nancy either.
“Caspian, there is something that I need to tell you..” Nancy spoke all of a sudden.
What is she saying? Does she already know about it?
Caspian suddenly felt apprehensive.
“Nancy, I have something to tell you today too…” Caspian looked at the woman with a stern look on his face.
Caspian looked more handsome than ever that day.
“Why don’t you go first?” Nancy said.
“No, ladies first. You should go first…” Caspian passed the ball back to her.
Nancy hesitated for a moment but decided to just tell Caspian about herself and Jory.
She would have to tell him sooner or later anyway. It was just a matter of time. At least she would feel better if she had told him right then, and she would be more at ease whenever she was together with Jory.
“Caspian, I don’t know if you’ve noticed it. But I think something is missing between us, don’t you think so?” Nancy looked at her husband.
Yes, what they lacked was love.
They were from different worlds, and yet somehow had been forced to come together. It was obvious that they would not be happy together.
“Caspian, I am really grateful for the way you cared me about this whole time. Really, you’re the best man I’ve come across, but don’t you think there’s no chemistry between us? It’s like, there’s no love.”
Nancy knew that Caspian had been giving his best ever since they had gotten married. He was trying his best to be a good husband and a good man to her. However, that was not what Nancy wanted. She wanted to feel herself being in love, but that’s something she hasn’t felt when she’s together with Caspian. There was no romance nor love.
She had thought about just living the rest of her life that way, but then Jory came along, and she knew she could no longer go back to the way it was. Jory had awakened and renewed her faith and longing for romantic love.
“So, let’s get divorced.” Nancy kept her head low.
Caspian was thunderstruck.
The man had not expected that the woman was asking for divorce not because of him, but because of herself.
Everything seemed too absurd to be true. So my wife has another man out there, and she’s the one to break the vow of our marriage.
Caspian snorted. So what? I’ve cheated on my wife too.
How ludicrous can our marriage get?
“Who is the man?” Caspian asked coldly.
“Caspian, please listen to me. It has nothing to do with the man. It’s all my fault…” Nancy was almost begging him.
