Kendrick is a wealthy CEO, the leader of North Group. He has a wife.
But two years after their marriage his wife ran away and cheating with another man. They then divorced, but Kendrick still loves her, even though his ex-wife cheated on him.
Until 5 years later (Kendrick was 30 years old), his ex-wife died in an accident with her husband.
Initially, Kendrick didn't want to remarry. Even after being divorced for 5 years, and now that his ex-wife is died. He is still sad about losing his ex-wife. But, his mom doesn't care. His mom told him to remarry a young surgeon aged 25, named Astrid.
After getting married, he is cold to Astrid. Assuming that you want to marry him because he has a lot of wealth.
That's Kendrick's foolish point, because he still loves someone who is dead, even though she cheated in the past.
