“Is it Jory Synder?” A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
“What is the man’s name?” Caspian demanded in fury.
Yes, they had both cheated on each other, but the nature of it was starkly different.
Nancy had cheated on him both mentally and physically, falling for a man when she was still wife to another man, consciously. On the other hand, Caspian’s mistake was an unconscious and unintended one, when he was drunk out of his wits.
“Caspian, please calm down. Please…” Nancy clutched the man’s hand, afraid that he might dash out to seek revenge on Jory.
“Nancy, tell me! Did he force you into it? Tell me!” Caspian snapped at the woman before him.
He felt like killing Jory right then.
Caspian could not tolerate, let alone accept her mistake.
She was consciously falling for that man.
Caspian was not a sophisticated man, but he knew exactly what she meant.
“Caspian, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please calm down…” Nancy stopped him in his tracks.
“Caspian, I thought you had something to tell me? Please, tell me. I’m listening…” Nancy reminded the man, hoping to stop him.
Caspian was suddenly reminded of the thing that he was about to tell his wife.
Yes, it was the same story, but it was a difference of night and day.
Caspian went silent all of a sudden.
“What’s the matter, Caspian? What is it that you want to tell me?” Nancy looked at her husband expectantly.
All of a sudden, Caspian dashed out of the room like a madman.
“I will tell you later!” The sentence hung in mid-air and left her all alone in the room.
Nancy started to get apprehensive after her husband had left.
She took out her phone and called Joan.
“Joan, something bad happened, Caspian…” Nancy stuttered.
“What’s the matter with Caspian? Calm down and tell me.” Joan sprung up from her bed.
Something must have happened to Caspian for Nancy to lose her cool like that.
“Joan, Caspian… he dashed out of our house. I told him everything. He…”
Nancy’s face fell.
So is Caspian going after Jory? Nancy nudged at Larry who was just beside her.
“What’s the matter?” Larry rubbed his eyes.
“Did you mention Jory at all?” Joan asked in a hurry.
“I did not mention his name, but Caspian guessed it right. Joan, what happens if Caspian goes after Jory? You know how he is, he’s not going to let Jory off the hook…” Nancy’s voice was shaky.
She was right. Given Caspian’s personality, he would not let Jory off easy, even if Nancy had not specified that it was him.
“Okay, Nancy. You need to stop crying. I’ll get to your place with Larry right now. We’ll look for Caspian together, alright? Don’t panic…” Joan coaxed her friend.
The two women hung up the call after Joan calmed her down.
Nancy looked for Jory’s contact and called him afterward.
“Where are you right now?”
“At home. Are you coming over?” Jory asked.
“Um, you’d better stay at home and don’t head out. Remember that, okay?” Nancy reminded him.
Stay at home and don’t head out? What does she mean?
Jory was puzzled.
Why can’t I head out?
“Nancy, what’s the matter with you? Did something happen? Why do you sound like you’re in a rush?” Jory frowned.
Something must have happened. Otherwise, the woman would not have said something so odd.
“Nothing. Um, a fortune-teller told me not to head out of the house tonight. I’m just asking for you to stay home too.”
