The banquet venue extended from indoors to outdoors, and Florence Fuller, holding Luke Gardiner's hand, walked through the arched corridor to the entrance of the banquet.
The moment the door opened, a popping sound was heard, petals flew around, and Florence Fuller was momentarily stunned by the scene inside the banquet hall.
The background was dynamic music, and the atmosphere was filled with cheering crowds.
It didn't look like a serious banquet at all; it was clearly a party.
She wondered if Luke had brought her to the wrong place, and in the next second, she heard a chorus of cheers: "Brother Gardiner, happy birthday!"
Inside, the sound of celebratory cheers erupted, reaching the heavens, and the smile on Florence Fuller's face gradually receded.
She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Luke held onto it tightly, not letting her leave.
"Who's the beautiful woman you're with, Brother Gardiner?"
"I've never seen you bring this beauty before."
