Author POV,

Carol was constantly looking at James with an angry look as she had a not a little but more than a little doubt on him and had no faith in him at all...

She was not able to believe him even if she wanted to because she did not want to do so because now she only wanted to know the truth but what she was not going to know as well...

And like this , they were constantly staring at each other and arguing...Because on the one hand, Carol had a yearning to know the truth, while on the other, James just had to hide his truth.......
