Kaylee had been looking at the door anxiously, wondering why Terence hadn't come back yet.
"Carla, what happened? Could you at least tell me what Terence did to make you angry?"
Kaylee grabbed Carla who was just about leave with all her luggage. She held her hand and asked her to sit on the sofa.
Carla kept her head down and her bright eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. She was emotionless as she sat on the sofa, not saying a word.
"If you don't want to tell me, then let me just guess. You and Terence haven't seen each other in a few days. You two should be excited to see each other! Did Terence say something to annoy you?"
Carla didn't respond. So Kaylee shook her head as she kept talking, "No, that's impossible. Terrence is crazy about you. How could he do that?"
"Oh, Carla, I don't really know but don't do this to Auntie. Just tell me what happened." —
Holding her hand, Kaylee looked at her with pleading eyes and said, "Please tell Auntie Kaylee. You're here because of me and now you're leaving for no reason at all. At least tell me why you're upset."
At this moment, Carla's eyes flashed. "Kaylee, what does it mean if you find condoms in your husband's hotel room?"
"It means..."
Kaylee was stunned. She rolled her eyes for a while before realizing what happened. "Carla, you mean... Did you find condoms in Terence's room?"
Carla remained silent.
Since Kaylee had experienced the same thing, she knew exactly what that meant.
Terence didn't know Carla would come in advance so even if Kaylee tried to say it was her who had put that in his room, it wasn't believable.
"You didn't ask him what happened? Maybe it was from the hotel. That's actually quite common in a hotel room," Kaylee said after giving it some thought.
Carla shook her head and looked down at her hands. "No. That's impossible. Then why did he open the condoms and leave them in the drawer of the hotel? This isn't his first day checking in."
Kaylee opened her mouth but she didn't know what to say. She sighed and said, "Carla, you don't need to take it too seriously. Terence is just a man. Sometimes he is away on a business trip for a l
it him any time. Why would he need to prepare?
Even if he was busy, he would make time for her.
"What do I mean? Don't think I don't know men like you. You've been sleeping around, haven't you? No wonder Carla misunderstood things. No one could stand to see that."
She shook her head and sighed slightly. He was on a business trip and he had opened condoms in his drawers. Any woman would be upset.
Moreover, Carla had come all the way here to be with him. But the fact was that he had already had sex with other women. If his wife found out, how would she feel?
Terence frowned in response. Puzzlement was evident in his eyes. "Auntie Kaylee, just tell me what happened. Why did Carla suddenly leave?"
Kaylee could tell that Terence was still confused. So she decided to be straightforward with him. "You haven't seen Carla in a while but why did you have so many condoms in your drawer?
Don't tell me you're just blowing on those for fun."
Terence froze for a while. If Kaylee hadn't mentioned it, he would have already completely forgotten about the condoms.
Without any explanation, he quickly stood up and walked out of the room.
As she watched Terence leave without a word, Kaylee shook her head. She figured that Terence was probably going to look for Carla to explain himself.
Carla rarely travelled outside the country and her trip turned out to be an utter failure. Kaylee could only understand how upset she was.
