After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
Michael had no idea what Todd had talked to Wendy about when they were alone.
The question grew stronger in his heart.
Wendy heard footsteps coming and she asked, "Is Michael coming in?"
Then, Wendy heard another set of footsteps. She knew that everyone had come back into the room.
Michael responded with a short "mm". He then lowered his chin and took a closer look at Leah.
Leah, noticing his stare, lifted her head and smiled as she looked back at Michael. She sweetly called out, "Uncle Michael..."
"Good girl, Leah," Michael greeted. He looked at the obedient Leah, growing even fonder of her.
Yet he grew more suspicious too, looking at her. She was such an adorable kid. Why wouldn't Todd, as her father, bring her along with him?
Michael looked at Leah and took another look at Jake. The two children seemed to be at the same age.
A sudden idea popped into his head, terrifying him.
