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?"
Since then, whenever Wendy asked her mother about her father, Mary always replied that he was dead.
Because she saw how sad her mother became every time she asked that question, she decided to stop asking.
But Wendy was still very young then and believed that her father had really died.
Then when she got older, she started to realize that things were not that simple.
But it never crossed her mind that this was the reason.
That her father was actually a cold and heartless man.
"If it weren't for him, I would have been like other women and married with children," Mary choked while sobbing. "I had thought of keeping this from you forever. I didn't want you to know what sort of man your father was. I'd rather you thought of him as dead. But unfortunately, you still had to know the truth."
Mary was already in her fifties. When she was younger, being a school teacher showed that the woman came from a middle-class family.
