To say that he was not surprised would be a lie. In fact, Michael was completely shocked by Kate's sudden confession.
He had not expected her to be this bold, to the extent that she confessed her feelings to him. He had already felt that she had feelings for him, but it was unexpected for him that she would be so direct about them.
According to tradition, in most situations, girls were usually reserved. Even if they had feelings for someone, they would only throw some hints, not openly confess.
But this was different for Kate. Though, Michael could seemingly understand the reason why she was confessing. Maybe it was due to the pressure that she was experiencing from home.
The pressure that was pushing her towards an engagement. So, maybe that was why she was willing to confess.
If not for the fact that Michael had the human insight skill, he really would have thought that Kate was only doing this because she wanted to escape the engagement.
