When Joseph Thompson received a call from Robert Smith, it was the eighth day of the first month, the second day he and Jaylene Ziel had gotten their Marriage Certificate. It was just after getting off work in the evening.
Robert Smith was Susanna Smith's father, who usually lived in Washington, and it was difficult for him to come to Bay City once or twice a year.
Joseph Thompson and Susanna Smith had no blood relationship originally, but because Susanna Smith was Joseph Thompson's father's wife and Joseph's stepmother, Joseph should still call Robert Smith "grandfather" according to etiquette.
Susanna Smith was Ethan Thompson's wife, and besides living in Thompson Manor for many years, Ethan also gave Susanna a small villa in the west mountain area for her to host her family.
So naturally, when Robert Smith came to Bay City, he stayed in Susanna Smith's west mountain villa.
