We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

There were also two young girls and a burly man on the boat.

Elisa knew him as the best swimmer and the most skilled sailor in the village.

Elisa guessed that this was all arranged by Gareth.

If the village chief truly wished to keep an eye on her, he could have simply assigned just anyone to accompany her. There was no need to send the person with the best swimming skills, who also happened to be an expert navigator.

Those two little girls were his children.

The two girls gathered around Elisa when they saw that she had regained consciousness. Speaking in somewhat broken Clusian, they asked, “Are you awake? Are you okay?”

Both girls were fond of Elisa, simply because Elisa was very beautiful.

People were naturally drawn to beauty.

Elisa felt a bit uncomfortable and simply shook her head when faced with the girls' concern.

“I'm fine, I just need some time alone.”

Although the two girls were somewhat disappointed, they did not insist. They nodded, giving Elisa some space to be alone, and left the room.

With trembling hands, Elisa took the envelope. Inside was Gareth's familiar handwriting, a sight she knew all too well.

The letter read: I'm truly sorry for deceiving you. By the time you read this letter, you'll surely be on the boat. I understand that you might be angry or upset right now, and I know you're capable enough of swimming back. But I don't want you to do that. Soran, I'll wait for you to come back and get me. I'll apologize to you in person, okay?

The name “Soran” was given to her by Mrs. Kella.

When Elisa saw it, her hands were trembling.

Indeed, she had considered swimming back recklessly to confront Gareth about why he had done this.

They had clearly agreed to stick together through thick and thin, so why did he abandon her?

Yet, after reading the letter, Elisa calmed down.

Regardless of whether or not she was the type to vent her emotions, Elisa always weighed the pros and cons to find the best solution. This was something she always did on principle.

Going back now was clearly not the best outcome.

Thinking of Gareth, Elisa murmured, “You must wait for me to come back and get you. You must.”

Elisa thus made up her mind. It was clear that she required sustenance on board the boat.

Despite having received instructions from Gareth, Fabio was initially a bit worried that Elisa was going to slip away when he was not paying attention.

Yet, when Fabio saw her behaving like that, he gradually began to feel at ease.

Now, they were facing another critical situation.

The group had been adrift at sea for an unknown number of days now, but one thing was certain— their food and potable water supplies were almost depleted.

For several days in a row, they have only been eating one meal a day. It was no exaggeration to say that they were being very frugal with their supplies already.

However, the coastline stretched on endlessly.

Just as they were on the verge of starving to death on the boat, they encountered a large ship.
