Nothing unusual about it, since the relationship with Appolonia was love at first sight. The moment he laid eyes on her, Kay was history, and would have remained history if Appolonia hadn't been killed.
If he had already been married to Kay (let's say they had eloped) by the time he met Appolonia, then perhaps Michael might have had the necessary second thoughts or guilt feelings about poor Kay back home, but as it was there was nothing holding him back either legally or emotionally.
To answer the original question...what possible reason would Michael have to remarry after Kay? He already had his children and potential 'heir' in Anthony. His sister Connie had vowed to 'take care' of him. Obsessed by now with The Family Business there was absolutely no reason for Michael to either pursue or even want another relationship/marriage with anyone.

Yes, they did have a son. But when Kay saw that Mary was falling in love with her younger step-brother, she had him sent away to a boarding school in Switzerland, in the hopes that Mary would pursue a more sane relationship, say with a First Cousin.
