Chad never imagined that inviting his friend Nolan over for a dinner with his wife Camille and her parents would unravel his entire life. Chad met Camille in college, where they bonded over shared interests. Their relationship flourished quickly, leading to marriage, despite language barriers with her French-speaking family. Chad felt isolated during family gatherings when they spoke French, so he invited Nolan, a French speaker, to join them.
During the dinner, Nolan noticed something unusual in Camille’s conversation in French. After urging Chad to check under the bed, Chad found a black box containing photos of Camille, nearly nude, and letters addressed to a man named Benoit. Shocked by the discovery, Chad collapsed and later woke up in the hospital, where Nolan explained that Camille had been having an affair.
When Chad confronted Camille, she initially denied everything but eventually confessed that her parents had pressured her into the affair to secure French grandchildren. Devastated, Chad demanded a divorce. The ensuing divorce was messy, with Camille contesting everything, but Chad refused to give in. He moved into a bachelor pad, grateful for Nolan’s support through the ordeal.
Now free from the deception, Chad reflects on his shattered future with Camille but finds solace in moving forward with his life. He’s left wondering if Camille ended up with Benoit, while he focuses on rebuilding his own happiness.
