Instead, I used the savings I had to make a few clothing sales. After I managed to set aside enough money, I packed up and

left with Natalie.
Before leaving, I bought some gifts for the older women in the village whom I was close to. After all, they had been kind to me and Natalie after Joshua and the others were taken away.
Even after we left, I kept in touch with them through letters.
However, I wasn’t expecting that one of the letters eventually ended up in Joshua’s hands one day. And with that letter, he eventually tracked me down.
Honestly, if he hadn’t called my name, I wouldn’t have recognized him at all. It had been four years since I moved to Braydora, and Natalie was already in elementary school.
Joshua stared at us in shock, seemingly needing some time to process everything.
I had managed to save up quite a bit after years of hard work. I had been eating and living well, even driving my own car. So it wasn’t surprising that he was taken aback.
Joshua looked at me affectionately and said, “I miss you, Tiff. Why didn’t you wait for me back in the village?”
Despite years of not seeing each other, I couldn’t help but let out a laugh in disbelief. He was still so shameless. I asked, “Do we know each other? Stop trying to make it seem like we have any connection to each other! I’m warning you–bother me again and I’ll call the police on you!”
Having been arrested before,
a was clearly scared now.
Realizing I wasn’t easy to sway, he turned his attention to Natalie instead. His tone softened, carrying a hint of flattery as he said, “Do you still remember me, Natalie? It’s your dad! Come here. Let me give you a hug!”
She huffed, clearly ignoring him. Instead, she turned to me and asked, “Can we go back now, Mommy?”
I couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh when I saw the frustrated expression on Joshua’s face.
He likely never imagined that not only had I been reincarnated, but Natalie had too. As a result, neither of us felt the slightest attachment to him.
Naturally, that didn’t stop Joshua from pestering us for several more days. Then, out of nowhere, he vanished without a single trace.
I later found out from a letter sent from the village that Joshua had actually snuck out of prison.
Not only that, but when Lynda tried to stop him, he accidentally killed her in the struggle. At this point, he was a murderer.
But none of these had anything to do with me.
In this lifetime, all I wanted was for me and Natalie to be safe, healthy, and free from worries. A quiet and steady life–that was all I needed.
