Charlotte turned around and saw Rodney coming down the stairs and quickly called out sweetly, "Grandpa. You've finally come out of your room. Are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food for you."
Rodney shook his head, "I don't want to eat."
He sighed and said melancholy, "I always think of Stephanie when I was young, and when I think of Stephanie, I think of Mia again. They are all gone, and I am left alone in this world."
Cecelia heard Rodney mention Mia Cole and rushed forward to help him, "Why would you talk about Mom again. We are all with you, how can you live alone? Dad, if you keep talking nonsense, I will really get angry."
Mia Cole was Cecelia’s mother-in-law, that was, Rodney's original wife, and she was very close to Ralph. Mia Cole herself had come from a wealthy family, and Rodney was also the son of a family of power. The story of the two had always been legendary in the army.
Mia Cole and Stephanie were close friends when they were young. So the two families had always had a good relationship, which led to the later marriage contract.
Originally, it was a marriage that could only exist in legendary. But unfortunately, when Mia Cole gave birth to Ralph, she had a postpartum infection hemorrhage, and died, and then Rodney had never married anyone else, raising Ralph all alone.
Cecelia had never seen what Mia Cole looked like, not even a single photo.
Rodney always shut himself up in his room alone, staring at the empty wall. She knew that Rodney was an infatuated man who had missed Mia Cole all his life. Throughout the Heath resident, not a single picture of Mia Cole could be found. It was said that once an elder of the Heath family wanted Rodney to cheer up, destroyed all traces of Mia Cole, and did not even leave him a single picture, a little remembrance, fearing that he would miss her whenever he saw anything about her.
This time, Stephanie's death, undoubtedly evoked Rodney's memories of the past.
