God! Charlotte was like thunderstruck, standing there idly, and felt an electric current down her whole body, giving her sharp pain like pins and needles. It was as if someone had hit her head hard, and she felt dazed.
The old photo, which looked decades old, certainly could not have been taken now, and she understood that the person in the photo could never be Joyce.
She had also heard that Rodney was in love with his late wife, whose name was Mia Cole, who died of a hemorrhage in childbirth. No one had ever seen what Mia looked like, not even Cecelia. Because there was not a single photo of her preserved.
It turned out that Rodney had been hiding a photo privately.
He didn’t just stare at the wall alone, but rather he was looking at the photo of Mia alone and thought about the past.
No one else had ever seen this photo before, and now she had seen it!
She suddenly thought about what happened last time in Riveria Haze. When Luther met with the Heath family, Rodney left first because he was angry, and then they heard Rodney shouting and rushing back to the hallway, when Rodney kept saying repeatedly that he had seen Mia and insisted on going to look for her.
Moreover, Rodney had been running out of town very often lately, and she hadn't really paid attention to Rodney because she always cared about her engagement. She just thought that the old man was just old and recognized the wrong person.
It turned out that Rodney was really out every day looking for the "Mia" whom he met in Riveria Haze!
Charlotte almost instantly thought that the person Rodney saw that day must be Joyce.
Because she couldn't have known better, Joyce was also at Riveria Haze that day, and she had used some tricks to make sure Joyce would hear part of their conversation.
She never dreamed that Joyce would look like Mia. Was it because her genes?
