Am I Rich? :The House Husband Turns Out The Richest Heir

The Letter

After that day, the morning was sunny and beautiful. There was a touch of gentle bridge that made the morning more beautiful.

When Kevin woke up, he didn't find Nira anywhere and assumed that she had gone already. 

When he came up, he faced the same thing as last night. Andrew was still frowning while looking at Kevin. Rebecca snorted whenever she saw him and was shooting daggers through her eyes. The maids and servants were whispering as usual. Only the Old Master was gentle with him and called him to come to the Old Master's room. 

When he went there, the old man gently held his hand and made him sit while his eyes were wet. 

"Kevin.. " He called Kevin with a low and soft voice, " Are you happy? "

When Kevin heard the last question his posture became stiff for a while.. 

Was he really.. happy? 

He quickly regained his composure and smiled sweetly before saying, " Yes Grandpa, I am alright. Young Miss is good to me. "

When the Old Master heard that he felt relieved. 

Even though he knew his granddaughter too well, he was still worried that this silly guy would be bullied by her tsundere granddaughter. 

When Kevin saw the changing expressions on the Old Master's eyes, he tightened the grip around his hand and coaxed him, " Don't worry. I will tell you if something happens. "

The Old Master did not say anything and just smiled before going to open his wardrobe. 

When he was searching for something, Kevin was staring at him in confusion. He wanted to assume what was going on! 

Soon, the Old Master came back with a big wooden box in his hand. 

When Kevin saw that the box was heavy and it was not good for an old guy like grandpa carried it, he reached out to grab the box and made grandpa sit down. 

After sitting down, Grandpa gasped for a moment before saying, " Finally, I can give the box to his real owner.. "

"What do you mean by that Grandpa? " He was confused as well as curious to know what was inside the box but as it was quite unethical to touch someone's thing without permission, he held himself back. 

"Open the box. " The Old Master said with his weak voice, which was low and heart warming. 

Kevin glanced at the box for a moment before extending his long and firm hands and touched the box very carefully. 

But when he was about to open the box, they saw it was locked and when Kevin asked the Old Master about the key, he was also at a loss! 

"But this box had no key. At least I can't recall." Grandpa furrowed his brow. 

"Huh! " When Kevin was looking at the box, he noticed something and said, " I know how to open it.. "

"How? " He looked at Kevin who was smirking while looking at the wooden box. 

"Like that.. " He held the key hole and pressed it like a button and the box was opened. 

"Is this how it works! " Grandpa was astonished for a moment before patting Kevin's shoulder, " You are not that silly though. "

When Kevin heard that, he smiled genuinely. 

"Haha, Grandpa, you are flattering me. " He scratched his neck twice. 

"Good boy.. " Grandpa patted his head for the last time and told him to open the box, " Now open the box and see what's inside. "

"Uh huh" He nodded before opening the box. 

After opening the box, Kevin saw there was some cash and a piece of note. 

He took the note first and started to read. 

"Kev, when you are reading this, I have already gone. But there is something I want to tell you or else I will feel guilty even in the next world. 

I found you in my hometown's courtyard when you were hardly one year old. You had a pair of big eyes with bounce cheeks. So cute that I wanted to keep you with me.

Trust me I have searched for your parents for a long time but didn't find them no matter what. So, I kept you with me. I know I could never give you but I wanted to give you parental affection and make you feel happy. There was some cash which I saved for my lifetime. It's not much but I still hope it will help you. Don't blame your dad for taking you away from your parents, your parents. If you can and of course if you want then look for your parents, alright. Remember to have meals everyday and don't catch cold. "

While reading Kevin's eyes were welling up with tears as he couldn't help but cried out while kneeling on the floor. 

"Why.. Why? Why are you saying these things to me now? They have abandoned me, haven't they? I don't want them anymore.. " He shook his head fervently, " For me you are only my parents, you are one and only my father.. I don't want anyone anymore.. "

When the Old Master saw Kevin like that, he bent down and hugged Kevin tightly, " Don't blame your father, child, alright? He didn't want to ruin your peaceful life. He always wanted to protect you.. "

"Do.. Do you also know that? " Kevin looked at the Old Master in disbelief. 

"Yes." He nodded affirmatively and added, " When he came back with you, I was the only one in the house. Nira's parents were abroad back then and only came back when she was five. So, they don't know anything but I do."

"Then the box? " Kevin's mind was in a mess, he thought that his world view collapsed, "when did dad give it to you? "

"He gave me before closing his eyes forever and told me to take care of you. " The Old Master patted Kevin's shoulder gently, " Don't cry and don't be sad. It's not your fault. I hope those who abandoned you are paying for retribution. "

Kevin didn't say anything, his expression was gloomy and his brain was in a mess. It was like he had woken up from a sweet dream and found out the truth. 

For a whole day, he didn't come out from the room and stayed in the outhouse where his father's and his memories were. 

After that, two days have passed in a blink of an eye. But Nira did not come back after their wedding. Kevin got to know from Andrew that she was busy with something in the office and staying there in the meantime to save time. 

He started to miss her as the huge room was too empty for him but he dared not to disobey her order. 

Everyday, he went to the room and smelled the pillow where she slept everyday and hugged it before falling asleep. By doing this, he could feel her presence in the room also. 

While thinking about her, he was cutting ingredients for cooking and unknowingly cut those which were Nira's favorite. 

When he snapped back to the senses and saw what he had done, he blushed in a mess. 

When he was being red like a tomato and thinking about the beautiful and cold girl who was now his, he heard some noise coming from the living room. 

Specifically, Rebecca's high pitched voice was more reachable. He went out to peek at the living room as he was too afraid to go near Rebecca who always abused him and snorted whenever she saw him. 

He found a corner from where he could see everything and looked at the living room. 

The first person he saw was the petite girl who was having a poker face on her face. She was looking tired and thinner than before. 

But before he could stare at her more, his eyes fell on the person beside him. 

It was actually a guy and he was looking like someone rich also as he was wearing a tailor made suit and he was standing like an idol. He had a sculpted face and long sharp black eyes. 

His long legs were standing with pride as his thin lips curved into a smile as he was holding Nira's hand too intimately. 

When Kevin saw that, he could not help but felt something had tightened on his chest. He could feel the pain but how hard he tried, he couldn't just remove the thing that was strangling him because it was so special to him. In the end, he couldn't hold himself back and tears were coming out his sea blue eyes and going down to his fair cheeks and neck. 

The tray on his hand fell down and smashed into pieces as soon as it touched the ground. 

A loud bang reached everyone's ear and they looked at Kevin, who was standing like a porcelain doll, looking straight at Nira's eyes. It was the first time he made eye contact with her as the pair of eyes were glittering under the sea of the water. When Nira saw him like that, she felt that he was different than before, he was looking more mature and grown up within these two days. But the gentleness of his eyes were still enough to melt the icy heart of her. 

"Nira.. " He called her with a low voice. It was sounding painful. 

When Nira heard his name for the first time from his mouth, she realised how deep his voice was. It was like the end of the sea.. 

"Nira.. " He came forward and pounced on her like he forgot everything and said coquettishly," You came back finally.. "

As they said, 'Cold people liked coquettish partners more.' Let alone if she was a girl like Nira who always wanted someone to be her side. 

She hugged him back and nodded, " Yes, are you alright? "

"I am.. " He tightened the grip and said, " I missed you. "

Within these days, he searched on the internet and found out that it was good for relationships to say everything out loud and he learnt everything to make Nira happy. 

" Alright. " Nira was satisfied as her partner said that he missed her and broke the hug, " I am tired. I will talk to you later, alright? "

"Mhm.. " He nodded like a puppy.. 

But before they could go away, the man beside Nira pulled her aside and said, " Hey Nii, are you planning to leave me alone? And is this the useless guy whom you said you got married to!"

His voice had a complete hint of mockery which made Kevin angry but he endured that because he did not want to embarrass Nira. 

But he had never expected that Nira would stand up for him and said, " Ace, first of all I am not leaving you alone. Ain't you getting along with mom? Then go on. And second, my husband stays at home not to idling around but he does every house chores, so don't call him useless.. "

When Kevin saw her defending him, he felt warm that he had never had before.. 

But Ace's expression darkened and he mocked Kevin, " You do have something. Look at the campus belle, who had rejected all of those elites and in the end got bewitched by you.. "

Rebecca also supported him, " You are right Ace. It was all this vixen's and his dad's fault. They made my daughter like that.. 

Now she doesn't even listen to me. "

When Kevin heard those words from Rebecca's mouth, especially about his father, he wanted to protest but in the end he could only clutched the hem of his shirt and kept quiet while gritting his teeth. 

If only he had money, he would show them how to respect people. 

His eyes turned bloodshot and the veins were popping out from the forehead but they didn't stop about saying how bad his father was and how Kevin seduced Nira to get married with him. 

In the end, he couldn't bear anymore and wanted to run away from there. 

When Nira saw the uneasiness in his eyes, she gently reached out to hold his clenched fist and rubbed it a few times, only then the grip was loose as he looked at her with teary eyes. 

"We are going upstairs. '' Nira held Kevin's hand, " We want to stay some time alone. Don't disturb us. "

When Kevin heard 'don't disturb us', he blushed heavily as his mind was wilding around. 

"Let's go hubby.. " When Nira saw Kevin's red face, she wanted to tease him more and he became like a red apple who was ready to be devour.

After that their silhouette disappeared behind the stairs whereas Ace's expression darkened when he saw them walking arm in arm. 

Meanwhile upstairs.. 

"Who is he?" Kevin couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked in one go.. 

"Umm." Nira was shocked for a moment, she had never thought he could ask her something like that and said while taking out some wet tissue, " He is.. "
