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?"
Sometimes, I Really Hate You
Leah nodded her head while in Michael's embrace.
Slowly, her crying tapered off. Michael put her down on the bed and covered her with her blanket. He dried her tears with a heavy heart. Her eyes were all red after all that crying.
Tenderly, he patted her back to soothe her. He then picked up a bedtime storybook that was by her bed and offered, "Daddy will read you a story then Leah will close her eyes and go to sleep okay?"
"Okay," replied Leah in acquiescence.
Michael started reading the story in a low calming voice.
It wasn't long before he noticed that Leah's breathing had evened out. She had fallen asleep. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Standing up slowly so as not to wake Leah, he made sure her blanket was properly covered before tiptoeing out of the room.
Michael paused outside Leah's doorway for a while as he regarded Jake's room door.
After much hesitation, he decided he'd better speak to Jake.
