After a few simple pleasantries, Adam Walker got straight to the point.
"You said you needed to see me about something, what is it?"
"Well…" Ivana Bennett smiled at him childishly, "before I say, you have to promise to keep it a secret, whether you agree or not, okay?"
Adam Walker nodded gently.
"Okay."
"Then I'll just say it." Ivana Bennett pulled her chair closer to him, "Uncle Adam, I want to ask you to speak to my dad for me, I... I want to get married."
"Get married?" Adam Walker said, mildly surprised, "But... you're not even twenty yet."
"It's quite normal to get married at eighteen in other countries, and some even get married at sixteen…" Ivana smiled at him, "Uncle Adam, I'm practically begging you, is that okay?"
"But..." Adam Walker's gaze shifted back to Lucas Walker's face, "you... how old are you?"
"Twenty-three," Lucas Walker replied.
"Twenty-three?" Adam Walker nodded gently, "That's still very young."
