"Hey, you boys, be quiet, okay? Let Luke explain it." Daisy shot a cold glare at the father and the son to stop them from being too noisy as they were not helping. Also, she was curious about who that woman was. She knew Luke was a tough man and it was definitely not easy to please him, let alone make him fall in love. Only an extraordinary woman would be able to do it. Who on earth could it be?
"What's her name? Who is she?" Jonathan finally asked in a calm tone when the noise had died down. He asked seriously because he knew Luke was of stability and mature, and that his son would not marry a man.
"Yes, tell us. What's her name? Did you just pick up a girl at random outside to play us, poor old people?" Poor old people? It just sounded so weird when Cynthia described herself to be poor and old because both she and Jonathan could easily pass for someone in their forties! Wouldn't she feel embarrassed to consider herself an old woman?
"You've seen and met her before." Luke felt a big headache, thanks to their ridiculous guesses and accusations of him being gay. What were they thinking? He might not be an expert in dating women. But he would not just pick up a girl at random and bring her home!
"Oh! I know! I know her! It's Michelle, right?" Edward stepped ahead excitedly and raced to be the first to guess, as if it were a game. He apparently did not like it when he was ignored.
"Oh! Daddy, so you've already known! Why did you keep it a secret and didn't tell us?" Justin was totally a junior Edward. He wanted to be the center of attention, just like his father, forgetting about the soon-to-be groom.
"Hey, boys! Can't you just spare some time for Luke?" Daisy almost got mad at them, and was about to throw them a napkin. She was waiting for Luke's reply, but the father and son tandem just could not quiet down and kept making a fuss. Oh, God! Please make them shut up for a while!
"Ok, ok. We'll shut up. My son, we have been rebuked by your mom. Poor you and poor me." Edward shrugged innocently. He was telling the truth! Did it matter who uncovered the mystery first?
"Lukie, is it true? But I remember that you said you did not like that My-shell." Cynthia could not help but frown. Although she indeed wanted Luke to marry a woman as soon as possible, she would not want him to marry a woman he did not love. He would be unhappy in that case and she did not want that for her son.
"It doesn't matter. Let them decide that by themselves. Pick up a date, Luke. Any day is fine with us." Jonathan still remained cool, but he became softer when around his family. Although the changes were not obvious to most people, it was already too much for him, considering that he was more uptight and much stricter in the past.
"Okay. I'll let you know when we decide on it. Thanks!" Luke sighed in relief. He had been worried that they might object to this marriage. Michelle was from a gangster family, which was a sharp contrast to his family that Jonathan led with strict values.
"Anyway, Luke, congratulations to you." Daisy was the first to congratulate him and Michelle. Although she was not sure whether they were getting married out of love, she was still willing to support them, and believe that they would live a happy life and get what they wanted as long as they worked hard for it.
"Thank you," Luke replied in a cool tone like always. However, his face turned a faint red as he could not help feeling a bit embarrassed at this time.
