My Crazy Housemate: What Makes You Happy - Chapter 270

Mia wanted to return home as soon as possible for three reasons. One: She was hoping Leo would give her a call but if he didn’t, she was going to give him a call even though international charges were terribly high. Two: She wanted to leave the school premises as soon as possible because a lot of students kept flocking around her, asking her if she knew about Jeremy and Kelvin and wanted her to give them juicy gossips. Three: She wanted to directly hear from Jeremy about all of this. She hadn’t seen it coming at all. Jeremy was hardworking, humble and respectful, he was nothing like Kelvin. How come they were brothers? It was one shocking news.

When Jeremy returned to class, everywhere became quiet. As much as people wanted to ask him questions, they couldn’t bring themselves to do so, especially after watching how he beat the hell out of Kelvin earlier.

Jeremy didn’t mind the looks he was getting. He figured they already found out but at least, no one was asking him anything or pointing fingers at him, calling him a mistress’ son or a bastard and he was grateful for that.

He looked at where Kelvin usually sat and didn’t see him on seat. The boy really wasn’t taking it well. But who cares? His eyes met Chloe’s.

Surprisingly, she didn’t hurry to turn her eyes away just like he had caught her doing for a while now. She only gave him a questioning look, asking whether he was okay so he nodded a little to assure her he was before returning to his seat beside Mia.

Jeremy sat down and noticed that just like everyone else, Mia was also looking at him.

“We’ll talk about it at your place later.” He assured her.

She nodded and let it be. There was no use in pushing him.

They had the last class for the day and Kelvin didn’t return to class. After classes, the three went straight to Leo’s apartment.

Chloe ordered Pizza for all of them so after eating, Jeremy revealed everything to them. Chloe already knew part of the story since he told her some of it on the evening they were returning from Late Adrian’s birthday,

“My mother hid a lot of stuff from me, but she told me a couple of things about my father. She told me how she met my father when she was dealing with her mother’s death who was her only family at that time.”

“According to her, my father was a very nice man and being in that kind of state, it didn’t take long for her to develop feelings for him. By the time she accidentally saw the wedding band he always hid inside his pocket, she was already deep in love with him and was already with a child— me.” He explained.

“Long story short, they had me. It wasn’t easy for her. Dating a married man and trying to hide it wasn’t easy at all so it began to get to her. She wanted to get rid of me at some point but he begged her to leave the child and promised he would take full responsibility.”

“But his wife found out about us immediately I turned a year old. My mum refused to go into details about what the woman did to her but my mum had to relocate with me and moved to another city where we stayed until I grew up. I don’t think my dad ever tried to reach out.”

“I don’t know how the neighbours found out about us and soon rumours began to spread so I was bullied for it.”

“When I was 13, we came back to this city. Mum had a boyfriend who promised to marry her. He wasn’t that rich so mum got worried about it, especially when she realised she was pregnant for him. So she reached out to the Hanks. All she wanted was an assurance that dad would always send allowance for my schooling and well being.”

“Dad wanted me to come over. He hadn’t seen me since I was 1 and I’ve never seen him before except his picture.”

“My mother wasn’t shameless enough to go with me so I went alone when the Chauffeur came to pick me up.”

“I met Mrs Hanks and Kelvin for the first time. I remember being so excited about having a younger brother.” Jeremy scoffed as he recalled it.

“The house was magnificent. Everything looked beautiful and I was fascinated. Was also happy my father was richer than I thought.”

“Dad wasn’t in, so I was left with Mrs Hank and Kelvin. The woman was obviously not happy to see me when she realised who I was. She threw water on me.” He smiled sadly as he remembered that day.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#&apos;s-story_52229179399259381″>#&apos;s-story_52229179399259381</a> for visiting.

“She told me I was a disgrace and shouldn’t have stepped my feet into her apartment. I can’t remember everything she said at that time because I didn’t understand most of it especially when she began to say things about trying to steal her son’s place and inheritance. I was shocked because I had never been treated like that before. My mother always treated me like a precious gem. But there was another woman, throwing her glass of water at me and calling me names.”

“Kelvin watched at the side. He had the typical rich boy arrogant look and didn’t mind his mother treating me like that. He said it served me right because I wanted to take his rightful place, which also didn’t make much sense to me.”

“By the time Mr Hanks came, I was already shedding tears and shivering from cold and fear. The woman was so scary.”

“The couple had an heated argument for a while and it seemed like Mrs Hank won. I was sent back home that evening without my dad approaching me. I was so heartbroken because for once, I wanted to know how it felt like to have a dad who could protect you.”

“From that moment, I decided I didn’t want to have anything to do with them. I didn’t want his money either. My mother was furious when she found out but I pleaded with her to let it slide. Told her I didn’t want to associate myself with them anymore, but I guess she also recieved his help a couple of times behind my back.”

“Before my mother died, she asked us to promise her we’ll accept our fathers if they offered to assist us in anyway. I didn’t want to but she pleaded and told me my dad talked to her about my university. She said I needed it because she wasn’t going to live for long and wanted to be sure I’ll graduate from a good college at least and be able to take care of my sister.”

“After she died, dad came to her funeral and asked for me to come live with him. I didn’t want to even though my mother had made us promise that if our fathers reached out, we should accept.”

“I told him there was also Ellie. From the look on his face, I knew it was impossible having us both. And that had been my plan when I mentioned Ellie. I knew his family wouldn’t accept me but adding Ellie? Impossible. I sincerely told him I didn’t want to have anything to do with him. The scholarship was enough.”

“And I didn’t reach out until today.” He concluded his story with a heavy sigh.
