You tell a story that ends with a touch of irony. The husband, though seemingly wealthy, does not comply with the social contract established in his culture for marriage and keeps his wife's family at a distance. The network of friends and family give him no information, although someone must know something and finally the letter that the doorman took a week to deliver. I am certain that he will restart his life.
