"Excuse me? What did you just say? Are you serious?" Michelle opened her eyes wide, staring at him in disbelief. She never saw that coming and was totally out of the blue. She was expecting a rude retort, not a marriage proposal. It wasn't a romantic proposal but still, what a surprise! She was so shocked that she just could not think of a proper response. So many things were going on in her head at the same time.
"Well, I hate repeating myself," Luke said impatiently. Had Cynthia and Jonathan not kept bugging him that they would like to introduce a woman to him, he would not have said that. Even though he was just an adopted son, he considered them his natural parents and gave them the highest respect. And since it was their wish for their son to get married, he would make every effort to please them. That being said, Michelle was just a sacrificial lamb whom he took advantage of to make them happy. Apart from that, she was nobody to him.

If he had his own way, he would not even think of getting married.
"No way! Uncle Luke, are you confirming to us that you like men? I remember that Grandma was busy choosing among lots of women for you. But it turns out that you like men!" Justin joined in the conversation and turned to his uncle. He took his father's words seriously. Actually, he did not think there would be something wrong should his Uncle Luke marry a man.
