Seeing Rayburn like this brought a bit of sadness to Cherise\u2019s heart. Honestly, he was a victim too.<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn and Cherise sat in silence, facing each other.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise wasn\u2019t in a hurry, quietly sitting there and taking a sip of coffee whenever she felt thirsty.<\/p>\n<p>They stayed silent for about half an hour. Finally, Rayburn spoke in a choked voice, \u201cI knew it. I just knew it. I knew there couldn\u2019t be another girl in this world who looked so much like her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He<\/p>\n<p>Should have realized it earlier, especially when Jason suggested going for a blood test that day. But he was betting, betting a chance for the happiness he had missed his whole life.<\/p>\n<p>In the past half\u2013hour, all his thoughts, ideas, and memories flashed through his mind one by one.<\/p>\n<p>Each possibility Rayburn thought of felt like a needle piercing his heart. Every possibility he considered left him breathless with pain.<\/p>\n<p>After decades apart from Megan and through all the ups and downs, he discovered that someone he believed been alive all along.<\/p>\n<p>to be gone had<\/p>\n<p>The person he thought was separated from him by life and death was not only alive, but her descendant was sitting right in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Megan truly no longer existed. Fate had really played a big joke on him. He was filled with regret and hatred He regretted not finding her for years, squandering the praise for him and the Muller family. The master of Book of Diets\/ the mysterious clan, and the divination master\u2026 To him, relying on them to find someone was all worthless. It was<\/p>\n<p>nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn also hated himself for not being by Megan\u2019s side all these years, leaving her to face everything by herself. She had to support a family and raise kids on her own.<\/p>\n<p>She was such an optimistic and kind woman in her youth. How desperate she must have felt facing such a life.<\/p>\n<p>Endless thoughts and speculations filled his mind. Tears blurred his eyes, making him unable to speak,<\/p>\n<p>Cherise wasn\u2019t usually an emotional person, but seeing the elder related to her so heartbroken, she felt a tightness in her chest.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, Rayburn calmed down a bit. \u201cCherise, my dear Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>before. Just as he was about to continue, Cherise interrupted, \u201cWhy not ask if I\u2019ve deceived you? What if I just used Megan\u2019s name to<\/p>\n<p>trick you? I know you\u2019ve privately confirmed our blood relation with J<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Rayburn shook his head. \u201cI\u2019m very sure, one hundred percent sure, that you are the blood of Megan and me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After calming down again, Rayburn spoke, \u201cCherise, with your abilities, you must know what your grandmother went through back in the day, right? And you must know why I\u2019ve bee unable to find her all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise didn\u2019t deny it and nodded slightly. \u201cYes<\/p>\n<p>09:00 Thu, Dec 19<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 392<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn took a deep breath, knowing it must be difficult. \u201cCould you\u2026 You know what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise shook her head. \u201cThe timing doesn\u2019t feel right today. I\u2019m waiting for the perfect moment<\/p>\n<p>\u4e00\u56de 93%<\/p>\n<p>\u03a0<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn nodded firmly. \u201cNow I finally understand your mood while playing chess today. You\u2019ve got feelings of resentment and blame toward me, right?\u201c\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Cherise still didn\u2019t deny it and answered honestly, \u201cYes\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn slumped his shoulders. I knew it. I hate myself too for being useless, for not protecting the woman I loved back then. It\u2019s fair for you to hate me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise took a sip of coffee to soothe her throat. \u201cThat\u2019s part of it Anyway, from start to finish, it was all because of you, because of the Muller family, that a series of incidents occurred.<\/p>\n<p>With that, both paused for a moment and then Cherise continued, \u201cOf course, that\u2019s just my guess. But over the years, my guesses have never been wrong. Alright. It\u2019s getting late, and some things have been clarified, so I should head back now,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn stood up and nodded repeatedly. His face showed a lot more disappointment and sadness than when he arrived. The once energetic Rayburn seemed quite deflated.<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn walked Cherise to the car parked at the door. Without saying goodbye, Cherise got into the car. Rayburn understood the reason perfectly. He understood everything.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise\u2019s car hadn\u2019t started yet. \u201cMrs. Chivers, are we leaving now?\u201d Hugh asked, noticing that Cherise seemed off, and so did Rayburn outside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go, Cherise whispered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d Hugh replied and started the car.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, Rayburn heard the car start. He felt a hollow feeling inside as he stood watching the tires begin to turn.<\/p>\n<p>The car hadn\u2019t gone far when Cherise suddenly said, \u201cStop!\u201d Hugh reacted quickly, immediately braking to stop the car.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the rearview mirror, she couldn\u2019t resist. She lowered the window, leaned out slightly, and shouted. \u2018Grandpa, it\u2019s getting dark, Co back inside.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-415","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
