Julia’s life changed dramatically when her husband, Tom, died of cancer. She was left to raise their son, Rob, on her own.

But then, Tom’s brother Mike came into their lives, offering support and eventually marrying Julia.

Mike and Rob bonded, and Julia felt grateful to have Mike as a father figure for her son.

But one day, Julia came home to find Rob gone, leaving behind a letter explaining he left to spare them more sorrow.

Julia was devastated and searched tirelessly for her son. The police couldn’t do much since Rob left willingly. Over the years, Julia never stopped looking, despite Mike’s insistence to let him go.

Ten years later, Julia’s sister, Schuyler, revealed a shocking truth: Mike had been secretly contacting Rob, convincing him to leave and stay away from his family. Mike manipulated Rob into thinking Julia didn’t want him around.

Schuyler discovered this when she received a wedding invitation from Rob, who still wanted his mom in his life despite Mike’s lies.

Julia was heartbroken and immediately reached out to Rob, explaining she had no idea about Mike’s actions.

Julia divorced Mike, sold their house, and moved closer to Rob. She attended his wedding and now enjoys being a grandmother to his child.
