Thus, Theodore arrived at Caleb's place without informing anyone, not even his parents. He didn't want to tell them. They would only offer comfort and advice, and he had heard enough of that. "Caleb, do you remember a few months ago when I was still married to Rose? I got drunk at your place, and you brought Rose over?"

"Of course, I remember. You even beat me up back then. You were so angry. If you weren't my best friend, I'd have made you pay for it." As he spoke, Caleb clenched his fists with gritted teeth. "Do you remember why I beat you up?" Theodore asked.

Caleb scratched his head. "Of course I remember. At that time, Rose came over, and you were drunk. I had a few arguments with her, and when you woke up, you came over and beat me up to protect her. I thought you were protecting your wife, but it turned out you mistook her for Cynthia. So, specifically, you thought I was bullying Cynthia."

Theodore forced a bitter smile. "Yes, I remember. After I beat you up, I was holding your shoulder, calling out Cynthia's name."

Mentioning this, he suddenly realized he hadn't seen Cynthia for a while. He wondered how she was doing. After he canceled the wedding, Cynthia must have been heartbroken and hated him.

"You're a jerk," Caleb added. "Even I thought you were a jerk. That was your wife, and you were protecting her because you thought she was another woman. You were holding her hand yet calling her another woman's name. I was so enraged."

"Yes, I was a jerk," Theodore admitted.

Caleb said, "That's why you deserve what you're going through now. You brought this on yourself. Back then, you insisted on divorcing Rosalie and marrying Cynthia. We couldn't stop you.
