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?"
After Michael had his wound dressed by a doctor, he brought Jake to a small shop located in the hospital to buy some oranges. Wendy would realize they had been lying if they went back to the room empty-handed.
As they returned to the room, Wendy heard their footsteps and asked, "Have you gotten the oranges?"
Michael held up the bag in his hand and smiled, "Do you want some? I'll peel it for you. The oranges look quite sweet."
He then took one out and peeled it, then plucked out one slice and held it to Wendy's mouth. "Try it!"
Wendy opened her mouth and ate the slice of orange. It was indeed very sweet.
In contrast with the fact that Michael had been injured because of her, his attentiveness just made her feel even worse.
"Michael..." Wendy said, her tone serious.
"Yes?"
She was sure Michael would not tell her about his injury, so she decided to just come straight out and ask him about it. "Are you hiding something from me?"
