"Ms. Gilligan, may I be so bold as to ask you…what type of man do you like?"
Samantha was stunned.
Abel had always done things the proper way and maintained a respectful boundary whenever he treated her. He never overstepped his line or said anything unnecessary.
Samantha narrowed her eyes when he asked such a sudden question. Could it be that he...also wanted to become the Gilligans' ideal son-in-law?
Abel seemed to see what she was thinking and explained with a smile, "Please don't get me wrong, Ms. Gilligan. I'm asking on behalf of someone else."
"Someone else?"
"That's right. I have a younger brother who is single, young, and promising. He's also a doctor and he likes children very much."
Abel's glanced inadvertently at Matthew. "He'll come to participate in this marriage proposal, so perhaps you can...consider him."
After a pause, he added, "His name is Alan."
