Late at night, Caleb washed his face in the restroom and then stumbled back into the living room.


    He plopped down on the floor, and stared at the drunken man slouched against the French


    window.


    “Hey, it’s been hours. What’s going on? Can you at least say something?” Caleb said.


    Theodore had arrived hours ago, said nothing, and went straight to Caleb’s liquor cab. He took


    out all of Caleb’s prized bottles, one after the other, and drank himself into a stupor. Caleb had no


    choice but to drink along with him.


    Caleb was feeling dizzy, but Theodore seemed ready for another round.


    “Ugh.” Caleb flopped onto the floor, letting out a long sigh. “Bro, if you don’t say anything soon, I’m


    going to sleep.”


    At this point, sleeping on the floor was fine by him..


    The two grown men sat on the carpet, sprawled out in disarray. There was nothing elegant or


    refined about them, unlike their usual polished appearance.


    Sometimes, the more polished someone looked on the surface, the more they might crave


    rxation. They might even engage in more vulgar activities behind closed doors, even more than


    ordinary folks.

    “Rose me and Cindy lying in bed together,” Theodore muttered.


    Caleb had just closed his eyes, but they snapped open immediately. He bolted upright from the


    floor.


    “What did you say?!”


    Theodore took a swig of his drink without speaking.


    “You…”


    Caleb was about toy into him, but in the end, he sighed.


    “Anyway, the damage is done. There’s no point in telling you off. You’re married, for crying out loud!


    Why can’t you control your urges?”


    Caleb remembered that when Theodore got married, he had said it wouldn’t stop Theodore from


    phndering around. He even said it with confidence, too.


    Now, he felt like Theodore deserved a good smack.


    Theodore furrowed his brows, displeased. “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    “Didn’t you say Rose caught you in bed with Cynthia? Oh, I see now. It was Cynthia. You can’t


    resist, can you? You must have…”


    Theodore cut him off. “Shut up! It’s not what you think.”


    “What is it then?”


    Theodore sighed. “It’s just not what you think.”


    “Hey, what are you nning to do? Are you going to divorce or not? Since both of you have


    someone else outside, why waste any more. time?”


    A hint of confusion shed in Theodore’s eyes. “What do you mean, both of us have someone else


    outside?”

    “I mean exactly what I said. You have Cynthia, and Rosalie has her man on the side,” Caleb


    replied.


    Theodore immediately stood up from the floor, his towering figure swaying a bit unsteadily as he


    strode over. “What are you talking. about?! How do you know she has someone else?”


    Caleb looked up. “I saw it with my own eyes.”


    “When did you see it?” Theodore’s tone grew more agitated.


    Caleb looked puzzled. Theodore was leaving him baffled. “Didn’t I send you the video?”


    “What video? When did you send it?”


    “Remember the day I brought Rosalie here? You were there, too. We even got into a fight. Why


    didn’t you see the video I sent you? Did it fail to send?”


    Caleb took out his phone from his pocket, opened WhatsApp, and nced at the video he sent to


    Theodore. “No, it was sent sessfully. Didn’t you receive it?”


    Theodore realized that he hadn’t checked his phone that day. The next day, he smashed his phone


    out of anger and bought a new one. He hadn’t looked at any messages since then.


    He snatched Caleb’s phone, and opened the video Caleb had sent him on WhatsApp.
