Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!

Chapter 368: Is Everything Really Predestined?

Christian could not hide his intention for Wendy from a long time ago.

He went to visit Wendy every year for five years when Wendy was away. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He would stand at the door of the building where Wendy lived and looked at her from a distance on her birthdays.

He would count that as accompanying her for her birthday.

But nobody knew this.

Christian would never let anyone know either.

Because for Christian, relationships and emotions were not what he needed.

He only wanted victory, and relationships and emotions would only put restrictions on him.

He was always a cold-blooded and cruel person.

He had thought that he could hide his mind very well, so his thoughts would not be known by anybody for his entire life.

But Zen Tanner happened to find out.

He drank alcohol at that time, and he could not help going to the hospital to find Wendy in the middle of the night.

It was because of this incident that Christian was taken into custody, then the prices of the DR stocks dropped significantly.

Since then, many people have known that he liked Wendy.

But what was the difference even if everyone knew it?

Christian did not want relationships, and he did not need them.

He could love her, but he could also kill her cruelly.

He thought that he could control his emotions very well.

But he had to admit that when he saw the surveillance video, his first reaction was not to irritate Michael with it but to feel upset.

An unprecedented feeling of sadness!

He clenched his hands into fists, his eyes looked cruel, and his voice was cold. He sneered insidiously, "I do not need any relationship! I do not!"

...

Yonina looked at Michael’s expression, and she felt a little afraid.

She bit her lips and asked tentatively, "Don’t you want to call Wendy to tell her the good news?"

The good news Yonina meant was what Mr. York had talked about earlier.

If it were not for Christian’s email, he would have already made the call.

Seeing that Michael did not answer her, Yonina said carefully, "Michael, Wendy is not someone like that. This video was sent by Christian, and we are not even sure about its authenticity. We are well aware of his purpose, which is to make you angry.

You should not fall into his trap."

"Even if this video is authentic, it is also fine." Yonina blinked her eyes and continued, "Look, Todd just hugged Wendy, isn’t it?"

"Think about it, if Wendy is really together with Todd, why should she help us?" said Yonina. "And so many years have passed. If Wendy really loved Todd, then they would have already been together."

Michael sat on the chair and put his phone aside.

He placed his hands around his head and looked very disheartened.

Of course, he knew about the ill-intention of Christian sending this video.

But anyone would know what their next step would be if he saw the video.

It was not that Michael did not trust Wendy, but he did not trust himself.

Before, Michael thought that Wendy would love him to the end, no matter what, so Michael never feared that Wendy would get angry or she would get disappointed.

But now, he was no longer everything in Wendy’s life.

Wendy and Todd had known each other for five or six years when they were in Rheinsville City. They were colleagues and spent all day together.

Michael knew that Todd really loved Wendy.

He did not dare to imagine if Wendy was moved by Todd.

And this time, Michael lied to Wendy, and she did not forgive him even until now.

"Michael, whether this is authentic or not, you have to ask her in person," Yonina sighed and spoke in a low voice.

"In whose name shall I ask her?" Michael smiled bitterly. "I don’t seem to be the right one to ask her about her personal relationship."

This was what Michael felt the most disappointed about.

He was no longer Wendy’s husband now.

...

If it were before, Michael would have directly called Wendy angrily to ask her what the relationship between Todd and her was.

Now, he hesitated; he feared.

He even feared that he would receive a positive answer "yes" from Wendy.

If that happened, how could he face the situation?

"Our engagement was originally fake; Wendy has already known the truth. She should not blame you." Yonina comforted him. "Why don’t you call her and ask first?"

Yonina picked up the phone that Michael had put aside and gave it to him.

Michael looked at the phone in front of him and swallowed.

He still dared not to pick up the phone after hesitating for a long time.

Yonina sighed and directly called Wendy.

Before it was connected, Yonina said, "You were going to tell Wendy something about the vendor, weren’t you?"

After it was connected, Yonina directly put the phone on the table and put it on speaker.

Yonina had no intention for Michael now.

She only hoped that Christian could be defeated so that the Collins Group could revive.

So, she hoped that Wendy and Michael could make up for their relationship.

At this time in Rheinsville City, Wendy and Todd were eating in the restaurant. They were talking about Timothy Woods.

Wendy wanted to use the restroom, so she stood up and said, "I will go to the restroom first."

The waitress heard Wendy and told her immediately, "The restroom is this way. I will take you there."

Wendy turned around and followed the waitress.

Seeing Wendy’s back, the smile on Todd’s face faded away gradually.

If only he and Wendy could be like this forever!

Sometimes, Todd even thought that if HG did not belong to Christian, maybe Wendy and Christian would not have any relationship.

She really left Lake City, and she really left Michael as well.

Maybe she could give him a chance?

When he thought of that, Wendy had promised to give him a chance at that time.

Todd was so happy.

But it was such a pity that so many things happened right after she promised him.

For Michael, Wendy did not even care about risking her life.

Of course, for the sake of Wendy, Todd would accompany her and take the risk.

Otherwise, Todd would never take care of this matter. What he had known would only fade away as time went by.

If only Wendy could know later. If only Wendy knew about everything after she fell in love with him.

Is everything really predestined?

When Todd sighed silently with his head down, Wendy’s phone on the table rang.

Todd looked in the direction of the restroom and estimated that Wendy would not come back so quickly.

However, it was improper to pick up other people’s phones.

Todd thought he could let her know about the phone call and ask her to call back later.

But while Todd was thinking like this, he saw the incoming call notification.

The incoming call notification had no remark but only a series of numbers.

But that was a phone number from Lake City.

Todd couldn’t help frowning and gave it another glance.

He was somehow familiar with the number.

It was again from Lake City.

Todd realized at once that it must be Michael who was calling.

Todd pursed his lips, and he subconsciously wanted to pick up the phone.

But his rationality stopped his hands from holding out.

It was impolite to pick up other people’s phones.

But this was from Michael.

Should he pick up or not?

Todd looked in the direction where Wendy left again...

At last, Todd picked up the phone.

His finger slid on the screen. Todd looked down and spoke in a low voice, "Hello?"

Michael heard a man’s voice from the other end of the phone, and he opened his eyes wide immediately.

He picked up the phone on the table and asked with confusion, "Who are you? Why did you pick up Wendy’s phone? Where is she?"

Todd had just said one word, and Michael was anxious, so he did not recognize Todd’s voice.

"Michael?" Todd already guessed that it was Michael, but he still asked.

"Todd?" Michael recognized Todd’s voice this time. "It is very late. Why did you pick up Wendy’s phone?"

Michael asked again.

Michael knew that he had no standpoint to ask a lot, but he could not help it.

"We are eating in a restaurant near my home. She is now in the restroom. I saw an incoming call, so I picked up on her behalf," Todd said this very naturally.

Only people in very close relationships could pick up phones for each other.

Was the relationship between Wendy and Todd so close?

And they were eating together so late?

And it was near Todd’s home?

At once, Michael felt weakness in his hand that was holding the phone.

Yonina also heard what Todd said over the phone. Seeing Michael’s reaction, she directly spoke to the phone, "Mr. Lewis, it should be late in Rheinsville City; are you eating with only Wendy?"

Yonina tried to ask all the questions that Michael wanted to ask.

"Yes, Corrine waited at my door for a long time today, and we happened to have something to discuss, so I suggested eating together."

Todd felt that his heartbeat went faster after he said that.

Indeed, he said this on purpose.

He deliberately emphasized that Wendy waited for him at his door.

His heartbeat was faster because Todd was not confident.

He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he did not want to give up.

Maybe, he should fight for a chance for himself.

With his hand grabbing the phone even more tightly, Todd took a deep breath and asked, "Why do you look for my girlfriend?"

"Your girlfriend?" Yonina glanced at Michael and asked at once, "I don’t think Wendy is your girlfriend."

Todd smiled lightly on the other end of the phone and replied, "Many people know our relationship. Don’t tell me that you are still not aware."

"Well... " Yonina hesitated and refuted, "We are all clearly aware that your relationship was a pretension, so you do not necessarily have to cheat us."

"You are so funny," Todd smiled lightly. "I confessed my love to Corrine in front of a big crowd of people, and everyone knew that she agreed to be my girlfriend.

"Also, I make breakfast every morning for Corrine, and I escort her when she goes to and gets off work. Everyone knows that she is my girlfriend.

"But I feel strange. If I am not wrong, you should be Ms. Collins, aren’t you?

"You have been pregnant for almost three months, and you will probably marry Mr.

Lucas soon.

"What do you mean by suspecting the relationship between Wendy and me?

"Are you such a generous person, Ms. Collins?"

"When will Wendy come back?" Seeing that Michael looked increasingly upset, Yonina did not want to keep talking to Todd any longer.

What she needed now was to get in touch with Wendy.

Wendy needed to clarify something in person.

She only believed what Wendy said.
