"Hmm. You have just the same eyebrows as Mia's, but Mia’s nose is flatter. You look sharper than Mia, who looked a bit milder. There are indeed some differences when you look closely." Rodney looked over carefully one place at a time.
Joyce let out a giggle.
"Grandpa Rodney, there are a lot of look-alikes under the sky. I just happen to be."
"May I ask your name?" Rodney continued to ask more undeterred.
Even if the similarity could be a coincident, how could they look just the same? Could there be some kind of connection between her and Mia? After all, he had been out of touch with the Cole family for a long time.
"My name is Joyce Knowles," Joyce replied.
"Miss Knowles," Rodney trailed off, a little disappointed that there were no Knowles among Mia's relatives as far as he could remember.
"Girl, are your parents still alive? Where do they live? Have you ever been in the Capital since you were a child? Do you have any relatives named Cole?" Rodney asked a long list of questions.
Joyce laughed again, "Grandpa Rodney you ask me so many questions. Let me answer them all together, I grew up as an orphan, so I grew up in an orphanage, I don't know who my mom and dad are, and I have no relatives. Haven't been in the Capital since I can remember."
"Orphan?!" Rodney's eyes lit up, not expecting this girl, who looked so much like Mia, to be an orphan!
"Right. Orphan." Joyce smiled, "By the way, I actually know you. You're Charlotte's grandfather, right?"
"Yes. Charlotte grew up in an orphanage too! Could it be that…" He paused, "Could it be that you know each other?"
"Hmm. We know each other. We grew up in the same orphanage." Joyce said back.
"What! Such a coincidence? What's your name again?" Rodney was taken aback; he was a little slow to react as he got older, and his brain couldn't turn around for a while.
