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?"
Everyone could see Todd's feelings for Wendy. In the beginning, Wendy had thought he was merely treating her as his junior, explaining why he had treated her well. Slowly, she'd realized that he cared for her and her two children very much.
Wendy had actually suspected that she might be overthinking. She was already a mother of two children after all. Todd, on the other hand, was young and outstanding—the dream lover of many women. Why would he be interested in her? Wendy had not deemed it an important matter however, because she had only been thinking of taking revenge on Michael at the time. When she'd reconciled with Michael and they had lived in harmony as a family of four, Todd hadn't even crossed her mind. Todd hadn't behaved strangely either.
