The crowd had been seated for some time, enjoying their meals, yet the master of the house, who had organized the banquet to deliver a speech, was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
This absence heightened everyone\u2019s suspicions over the past few days.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Is the Muller family just treating us to a meal today?\u201d someone wondered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is Rayburn another replied. \u201cLook, it\u2019s just Rita and a few others sitting together. Judging by her expression, she seems unaware of anything\u201d<\/p>\n
Phoebe also said in confusion, \u201cIt\u2019s strange. Why did the Muller family invite us without saying anything? know anything!\u201d<\/p>\n
y, do you<\/p>\n
Mary shook her head. \u201cI don\u2019t know. We just received the invitation. We had to come for the Muller family\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
Marlon glanced at Trent. Trent, I feel uneasy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too,\u201d Trent agreed.<\/p>\n
Rita felt the same way but maintained her composure.<\/p>\n
At the scene, apart from Morris, Cherise, and Jason\u2019s families, other guests were filled with doubt.<\/p>\n
Moments later, there was movement on the main stage. Everyone looked up and saw a figure appear on the big screen<\/p>\n
The expansive banquet hall erupted in excitement as the person shadow was cast on the big screen when he reached the center of the stage<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that Rayburn? He used to look so vibrant. Why is his hair white now?\u201d a guest exclaimed.<\/p>\n
Even Gavino, a close friend, appeared shocked. \u201cIs Rayburn sick That can\u2019t be, I know his health well. This can\u2019t be an early farewell party, right? No way, that\u2019s absurd on such an auspicious day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The most stunned were Rita and Yulia<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, is that Grandpa?\u201d Yulia asked.<\/p>\n
Rita recalled seeing him at the entrance of the Dream Residence just two days prior.<\/p>\n
No, that day he was wearing a very tightly fitting hat.<\/p>\n
The sight of his gray hair now made her stare intently at the figure on stage.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at Rayburn with white hair above, her eyes lowered,<\/p>\n
At that moment, Morris reached out again to envelop her small hand in his larger one.<\/p>\n
\u201cLadies and gentlemen, dear guests!\u201d Rayburn\u2019s voice echoed through the banquet hall, drawing the attention of everyone<\/p>\n
present.<\/p>\n
Standing at the center of the stage, Rayburn scanried the room til he spotted the person he sought. \u201cI am Rayburn, the host of today\u2019s banquet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI delayed my appearance so that all guests could enjoy your meals and drinks before I shared my recent joys and gains.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a brief pause, creating a heavy, expectant atmosphere, he continued. This is my first time hosting an event of this scale personally. Many of you know my first wife, Megan, Warren\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil now, we all believed she had passed away due to various circumstances. In truth, she has always been alive, but my ignorance and shortcomings caused us to lose those years together.<\/p>\n
The room fell silent in disbelief at Rayburn\u2019s revelation.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way! I didn\u2019t know what happened back then, but I heard that Rayburn\u2019s parents disapproved of his marriage to Megan and forcibly separated them<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, exactly. I\u2019m not from that era, but I\u2019ve heard my parents talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
ge was deemed<\/p>\n
\u201cRayburn was the only son of the Muller family, while Megan was just from an ordinary family. Their m inappropriate due to their differing social statuses. Eventually, he was forced to marry Rita, the eldest daughter of the Hawkins family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLook. Rita is still around.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, is Megan still alive? This might be interesting<\/p>\n
Rita truly felt like she was making a fool of herself by being here today. She shouldn\u2019t have come at all.<\/p>\n
She thought, \u2018How could Rayburn discuss a woman I saw as a rival in love in front of so many people? Besides, isn\u2019t Megan supposed to be gone forever?<\/p>\n
Her teeth were clenched tightly, as if she was about to burst any moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cRita is still here, and for Rayburn to speak of this seems inappropriate. And as for Megan, is she really\u2026\u201d Mary said softly, nudging Lucas.<\/p>\n
Lucas glanced at her and replied, \u201cListen, stop talking. It\u2019s too noisy. I can\u2019t hear anything<\/p>\n
Rayburn continued, \u201cIn our time, many marriages were not entered into willingly, a sentiment shared by many of my late friends, However, Megan and I were truly in love.<\/p>\n
Over the years, I often woke from dreams mourning her absence, as her departure brought me immense sorrow. For complicated reasons, she was alive all these years.<\/p>\n
\u201cDue to some complicated reasons, I won\u2019t explain them here. It was only last year that she was truly gone, Rayburn said.<\/p>\n
alive all this time, Mary exclaimed to Lucas.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Megan w<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just her. Many others present were just as surprised.<\/p>\n
Rayburn sighed deeply. \u201cThough I have experienced great loss, has also brought me some gains. The \u2018gans\u2018 are why\u2013H called you all here today, to share my joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
