Decius knows what Caesar likes to hear . He knows that Caesar could easily be flattered by words of praise. So, he used such a language which flattered Caesar completely whereas Calphurnia was very afrid for her husband's well-being. So, her language and tone did not suit Caesar's way of thinking and he thought that listening to the wife and staying back was the act of a coward, which he never wanted himself to be considered as so. Therefore, he went away with Decius.
