Mrs. Lucas had initially planned on asking Wendy and Michael to stay the night. However, after the disturbance between Anthony and Winnie, she decided not to insist on that. She worried that the young couple would not be able to sleep peacefully if her son and daughter-in-law decided to start fighting again at night.
...
Since Wendy did not drive to the mansion, her only way home was to get a ride from Michael.
In the car, Michael's face remained cold because of what happened at home. To lighten the atmosphere, Wendy tried to think about something they could talk about. But even after spending some time mulling it over, she was still at a loss.
In the end, it was Michael who spoke first.
"Wendy," he said.
Wendy was stunned to hear her name. She replied, "Yeah?"
