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?"
Christian had just stopped talking when Wendy burst out laughing.
She laughed loud and long as though she had heard something unbelievably funny.
Christian scowled, irritated by her seemingly unstoppable laughter.
He asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Clutching at straws now, he continued, "You were the one who called yesterday, asking to swap Alice for Zen. So now, I'm giving you the opportunity to take Zen away."
"What's happened to you, Christian? I used to think that you were quite smart, but you seem to have lost it in the face of some hiccups," Wendy jeered at him.
That was when Christian totally lost it.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" he ranted.
"Did you really think that I was truly concerned about Zen?" Wendy sneered.
