Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!
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?"
One More Chance?
After Wendy's adamant refusal, Mrs. Lucas gave Michael a call. This outcome was both expected and a bit of a surprise and disappointment at the same time.
Despite Wendy's deep respect for Mrs. Lucas, this was the first time that she was rejecting her request. Michael felt extremely helpless.
He decided to have a good talk with Wendy. No matter what, they had to resolve this issue.
He walked out of the spare bedroom to see Wendy sitting at the desk with her pencil in hand, sketching. He knew that she had a background in design and had won numerous awards back when she was in school.
When he approached her, he saw many drafts on her desk. Michael did not understand much about design, but he thought that the drafts looked nice. Feeling rather frantic, he said, "Wendy, can we please..."
Before he could finish, he rubbed his nose awkwardly and then continued, "It's okay, I know you're busy right now. I'll come back later."
