Isabelle's husband, Berard, discovers the affair from "summary" of Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
Isabelle's husband Berard stumbled upon the truth quite by accident. It was a moment of pure chance, one of those fleeting instances that can alter the course of a life forever. He had returned home earlier than expected, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway as he made his way towards the bedroom. The sound of muffled voices stopped him in his tracks, the familiarity of one voice causing his heart to skip a beat. As he pushed open the door, the scene before him unfolded in slow motion. Isabelle, his wife, locked in an embrace with another man. The shock of the betrayal hit Berard like a physical blow, his mind struggling to make sense of what his eyes were seeing. The room seemed to spin around him, the colors blurring into a hazy mess as he stood rooted to the spot, unable to tear his gaze away from the two figures entwined before him. Isabelle's eyes widened in terror as she registered her husband's presence, the guilt written all over her face. The man with her, a stranger to Berard, recoiled as if stung, his own shock mirroring that of the betrayed husband. The silence that followed was thick with tension, each heartbeat echoing in the stillness of the room. Berard's initial disbelief gave way to a white-hot fury, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. Words failed him as he struggled to articulate the whirlwind of emotions raging inside him. Isabelle's attempts at explanation fell on deaf ears, her pleas for forgiveness drowned out by the roaring storm of betrayal that threatened to consume them all. In that moment, the fragile facade of Berard and Isabelle's marriage crumbled to dust, shattered by the harsh reality of infidelity. The discovery of the affair marked the beginning of the end, a turning point from which there could be no return. And as Berard stood there, grappling with the ruins of his shattered dreams, he knew that nothing would ever be the same again.
