Sherry insisted on joining the birthday banquet because she felt she should show up to meet the in-laws' family.
With Caspian and Willow married, it was expected for both sides of the family to meet each other.
Alicia asked, "Willow, why do you insist on coming after what I've told you?"
Caspian explained, "Since the Stewarts had invited us, of course we're going to show up."
Willow replied, "What's the matter, Alicia? You seem happy to see us anyway."
Alicia explained, "What are you talking about, Willow? Of course I'm happy to see you. I'm just worried about what Grandma and the rest of the family would do to you."
Willow replied, "Don't worry. I'm sure she won't cause too much trouble in front of so many people."
"Then, you guys should head inside soon," Alicia replied as she greeted Sherry once more before bringing them into the house.
The entire Stewart Residence was filled to the brim with guests.
Caspian and Willow's arrival quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Their outstanding presence had instantly garnered all the attention in the room the moment they entered the house.
All the men were drooling as they stared at Willow, who was also known as the most beautiful woman in Southlake City.
Willow had also put on very delicate makeup that made her look even more beautiful than most celebrities.
Sherry had also dressed up for the occasion.
She might be a middle-aged woman, but she still possessed a lot of charm.
Sherry felt that she was slightly out of place with how much attention she was getting.
As for Caspian, his presence had garnered the most attention. Previously known as the Diatoranian God of War, he might be dismissed from his post now, but his presence as a military man hardened by hundreds of battles was unmatched.
Everyone at the banquet tonight no longer dismissed him as a mere good-for-nothing.
It was a completely different atmosphere from when Caspian visited Stewart Residence for the first time.
Caspian was just a civilian like everyone else now, but the crowd still treated him with utmost respect.
Everyone had always wanted to witness the Diatoranian God of War in the flesh. Now that the opportunity had shown itself, they continued to stare at Caspian for as long as they wanted.
Dozens of younger women were fascinated by Caspian.
Caspian, Willow, and Sherry's arrival into the house had completely shifted the crowd's attention onto the three.
The Stewarts' expressions turned sour upon their arrival.
Only Carl would walk up to them and greet them with a smile, "Willow, Caspian! It's good to see you both."
Willow replied, "Hello, Dad. This is Caspian's mother, Sherry Lynch. Madam Lynch, this is my dad, Carl Stewart."
Carl smiled. "Oh, so you're Caspian's mother? Welcome!"
Carl had heard about Caspian finally meeting his biological mother, but this was the first time he had met Sherry.
Sherry smiled and greeted, "Hello, Carl."
"Sherry, why don't you come and join us? Willow, you can join your fellow cousins with Caspian as well."
