The Heath family.
During the drive in the afternoon back to the Heath family, Rodney was quite distracted on the road, repeatedly chanting, "They just looked the same! Cecelia, you must help me find her, the person I met today, she looked just the same as Mia."
"Good. Got it!" Cecelia trailed off with a long, soft coaxing voice. Now that Rodney was old, he could only be coaxed like a child. None of them had ever seen Mia, not even a picture, and with only the old man's memory, how could she look for such a woman?
When he got home, Rodney didn't even eat dinner and locked himself in his room, staring at the empty walls.
Cecelia sighed quietly, feeling very tired at heart. The old man today originally went to meet Luther for Charlotte’s marriage and the result was just as she expected.
Even before today, she had been quite sure that the old man would come back unhappy. When the old man met the girl who looked like Mia, however, he had all forgotten about Charlotte, which made her also relieved.
She looked at Charlotte, who looked so upset, and sighed sadly in her heart. There were simply some things that could not be forced, and it was just her fate.
Charlotte sat frozen in the living room, her eyes wandering.
Tonight Jacqueline promised she would take down Joyce, and although Charlotte could not attend the party in person, she's been on the edge of her seat, anxiously awaiting news.
She only ate a few bites of dinner, and had no appetite.
"Mom, I'll go to my room first."
She suddenly stood up, dropped a sentence, and hurried back to her room.
After a really long time, however, Shelly still had not called her.
She lost her patience, couldn't stand it anymore, and simply called Shelly directly.
It took a long time for Shelly to answer the phone.
