Émilie hopes Nicolas will find out. Ingrid acknowledges the facts and asks Émilie to pray for peace. Ingrid gets back into bed and strokes Étienne’s back, who is still sleeping.

Later, Ingrid invites herself to lunch with Nicolas (Patrick Puydebat) and Jimmy (Tom Schacht).

The Mysteries of Love: Ingrid provokes Nicolas
Nicolas gets straight to the point and asks Ingrid about her night with Étienne. She is blunt and admits that it was very good, but she exaggerates to make Nicolas jealous. She replies, “When you can’t have what you want, you make do with what you have.” Nicolas takes the blow and confesses that he misses Hélène, who’s gone on Love Island.

Then, he plays it straight and explains to Ingrid that she knows perfectly well why he’s looking bad. But she thinks he must have asked for it. Nicolas decides to go do the dishes while Ingrid wants to enjoy the pool. He’s completely jaded by the situation.

The Mysteries of Love can be found every Sunday at 8 p.m. on TMC.
