Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 280

“Bachelor, about what I brought up last time...” Lenora murmured. “Have you and Shirley talked it over? I'm not trying to rush you, but that house is getting a lot of offers. The realtor keeps calling me, so... I already put down the deposit.”

Bachelor stared at her in surprise. “You already put money down? Didn't I tell you Shirley has the final say on this? She might not agree... Besides, Nash hasn't even graduated yet. Isn't it a bit early to buy him a house?”

Lenora didn't dare admit that she was actually the one desperate to move out. She kicked Patton lightly under the coffee table. Patton muttered, “Why are you kicking me? It's not like I can force Shirley to lend us the cash.”

Lenora flushed red with frustration.

Tanya finally spoke up, wanting to settle the matter. “Bachelor, you're a man, the head of the house. How can you not have a say? You should be in charge of the finances. I've thought about it too—buying a house is a good thing. They should do it! Patton and Lenora don't make as much as you two, so they can barely cover the mortgage. Just lend them the down payment to secure the place.”

Ramsey's voice was low and stern. “It's not for an outsider. Nash is the only boy in our family, so buying him a house is inevitable. You cover the down payment, and Patton and Lenora will pay the mortgage. When Nash graduates and makes something of himself, he'll pay you back. You won't lose out.”

Bachelor kept his head down and remained silent. It wasn't just that he didn't want to lend the money; he genuinely didn't know where Shirley kept their savings. But even if he did, he didn't want to lend them that much.

That down payment would completely wipe out their life savings.

They were working-class people on a fixed salary. In his younger years, he took on side projects doing construction estimates, and Shirley tutored whenever she had free time. Building their nest egg hadn't been easy.

And ever since Bonnie's incident three years ago, he had vaguely realized just how absurdly biased his family was against his daughter.

She hadn't received a single word of concern. In the three years since she had left home in a fit of rebellion, not a single person in this massive family had asked how Bonnie was doing out there.
