Shaking his head to dispel the strange thoughts, he wondered if he was overthinking things.
Gavin Marion took a sip of water from the glass on the coffee table, trying to calm himself down.
Mrs. Marion pondered over her words and stared intently at her son, her gaze so sharp it seemed as if she wanted to bore a hole in him.
"Son, can you first assure me that your sexual orientation is fine?"
"Pfft...!"
Gavin spewed out the unswallowed water, coughing furiously with a flushed face.
Mrs. Marion looked at him with disdain, rolled her eyes, and moved away. She picked up a tissue to wipe the water stains on the coffee table and threw it into the trash.
Noticing his own embarrassment, he deliberately ignored the blatant disdain in his mother's eyes.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I'm a man who likes women. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal."
It was true that he had been single for quite a while, but he wasn't so desperate as to be interested in men.
