I was the one who strayed, and it was me who was found and brought home, but why did they treat me with such contempt?

When I first returned to the Kingsley Manor in my previous life, I felt like everyone had wronged me, so I kept asking for more.

I hid away silently this time, and I planned to get out of here as soon as I could survive on my own.

I didn't want to annoy anyone.

I found Susan's room, knocked, and entered.

Susan was sick of me, but she never looked down on me. Besides, she was one of the few people willing to help me in my previous life.

I came in and said bluntly, "Please lend me some money, and I'll give it back to you soon."

"Why are you borrowing money from me?"

"I need to do something to move out soon to keep from annoying you guys."

Susan sighed helplessly and loaned me tens of thousands of dollars.

I took the money and got on a bus back to my house in the slums.

No one ever asked where I went.

My biological mother, Maria, was oppressed by my grandmother, Sandra, who worked early in the morning and late at night.

My biological father, Gary Baker, was an alcoholic and gambler who lost all the money Maria made.

In my previous life, I didn't care about anything here after I left because I wasn't doing well for myself, and I cut off my ties here.

However, Maria helped me several times in my previous life when I was at my hardest times, and she told me to take care of myself.

It seemed that she was my real mother.

I found Maria, who was working in the field, still grieving that I had been taken away from her, so she was extra delighted when she saw me.

"Jonathan, I'm glad you're okay. Go live your own life, and don't worry about me." It was what a mother would say.

I took Maria away secretly while Gary was still drinking, and I rented a house in the city.

I wished Maria would stay here for good and never go back. I gave her some money and promised her that I would visit her later.

I crept back to my old home. I went up the mountain at dark to pick raspberries and brought them back.

When I married Cecilia from the Jones family in my previous life, I realized that this mountain was a land of treasure.

At that time, as my family suddenly became rich, Maria hurriedly sent me some money.

However, the money left in my family was gambled away by Gary the next day.
