[Help] I think my dad and my advisor's wife are together. What should I do?

I'm about to graduate from the University of Palermo, where I'm studying theater directing.

My family has plenty of money. My mom supports me, but my dad has always been against it. He wants me to take over the family business. This year, my second cousin started helping out at the company on my aunt's recommendation, and my eldest cousin also got a job at the Vatican. My dad's attitude toward me suddenly improved a lot. He brought my mom and sister to Sicily for a vacation, and to see the performance I directed.

My dad is an old-fashioned grump with a terrible temper who gives people the cold shoulder at the drop of a hat. It's no wonder my mom divorced him. They've been divorced for over a decade. He may have had girlfriends since then, but he's never brought any of them home.

My advisor has a great temper and a rich baritone voice. He always speaks reasonably, and never yells at us, no matter how awful our scripts are. His daughter studies at a university in Milan, and she's seen a lot of the world. My advisor's wife is very busy, but she always makes time to come watch our rehearsals every week. Sometimes she even brings flowers. After every performance, she's the first to applaud and cheer. I hope I'll have a wife as wonderful as her someday... Ahem, I'm getting off track.

My sister wanted to improve things between my dad and me, so she invited him to watch a rehearsal. At first, I was worried his foul mouth would offend my advisor. But who knew they'd get along so well? They hit it off so much that my dad came to every rehearsal without missing a single one.

My dad is a businessman who calculates everything down to the last detail. I know he has a project he wants my advisor to take part in.

After the performances ended, my advisor often invited our whole family over to his place. Sometimes his wife was home, and sometimes she wasn't.

One day, my advisor's daughter had forgotten her sketchbook and asked for it to be sent to Milan. I volunteered to run the errand. But when I passed the guest room, I heard my dad laughing and asking in a fawning voice if she was comfortable...

I'm so confused. Should I tell my advisor? Would that count as ruining his marriage? If I don't tell him, I can't live with myself.

Please help me figure this out.

Middle-aged leads!!!

Gorgeous politician x powerful big shot who has left the scene

Bad ending, one or both of them die

Probably a medium-length short story. The timeline is jumbled, set a little before Part Three opens. Aipo is married and has a happy family life, at least by conventional standards. Michael... is the divorced, diabetic, smiling snake from the movie.
