Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1199

Here's your adapted, Westernized, and naturalized version in English:

That night, Eddy really wasn't himself.

He'd gotten way too drunk at the wedding reception-thanks to his well-meaning but overzealous buddies and by the time he stumbled up to their honeymoon suite, everything was spinning.

The whole night was a blur. He never realized...the woman curled up in his arms wasn't his new bride.

When he woke up the next morning, the bed beside him was empty.

He didn't even find out it had been Caroline until much later.

It happened when he stopped by the hotel to settle the bill for the wedding banquet. The front desk handed him a cell phone, saying it had been left in their suite.

The phone was dead, had shut itself off. But here's the thing: it wasn't Eddy's.

He took it anyway, plugged it in out of curiosity. The moment it powered up...there was Caroline's photo, right on the lock screen.

That's when it hit him like a ton of bricks he and Rebecca White had made the same horrible mistake.

But people are strange creatures, aren't they?

Eddy kept his own shameful secret buried, but he just couldn't forgive his wife for her own "wedding night mistake."
