Mrs. Sugiyama never asks her husband about his activities outside of the house.
|
It takes a while for Beverly to figure out why her husband is out late several times a week. When she asks him about it, he lies to her about what he is doing. He gets defensive when she questions him. |
The private detective that Mrs. Sugiyama hires to find out what her husband is up to is polite and tries to assure her that her husband might not be cheating. She is hesitant about paying so much for an investigation.
