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?"
Wendy left Zen's house with Michael.
She followed behind him, taking her time to do so. When they entered the elevator, Michael glanced at the suitcase and laptop bag that Wendy was holding. Afterward, he reached out to take them from her. Wendy reflexively withdrew her hands when she felt the abrupt warmth of Michael's.
When she looked up and realized that Michael only intended to help her carry those things, she felt moved and said in a small voice, "I'll carry these myself."
"Let go," said Michael in a concise manner.
"I..." Wendy wanted to say something else, but when she met Michael's gaze, all she could do was obey and let Michael take her things from her.
