I hid in a coastal town and opened a guesthouse.
Over the years, business was sometimes good, sometimes bad, but I made a decent profit.
Initially, there were search notices everywhere.
I thought that since I had repaid the money, Isla would mostly miss my companionship and want to ask for clarification. After a while, she would stop searching.
Recently, the search notices from Evolle City gradually subsided.
I guessed that Isla had probably forgotten about me.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I needed to go out, find a job. I couldn’t live off my savings forever.
Besides, I wanted to visit home.
I took a day-and-night train back to my home.
A bit of inquiry led me to my parents’ residence.
They were doing well locally and had a bit of fame, making them easy to find.
People nearby said this family had a capable son who found a good family in Evolle City.
The other party took good care of this family, so local people dared not offend them.
They also received many conveniences.
All five of my brothers had gone to school and found jobs.
My three sisters, on the other hand, married early, and some still lived at home despite being married.
