Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 37
The next morning.Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket.“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn’t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it’s not possible now anyways.”He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him.“So it was her…” Benjamin’s heart fl

Anous survived the heart attack thanks to Benjamin’s help. Anous’ wife thanked him a dozen times. Benjamin had wanted to take Anous’ car, but then he changed his mind after being thanked by Anous’ wife a lot of times.When Anous’ woke up hours later, the first thing he saw was his wife laughing to Benjamin’s jokes, and the scene twisted his gut. Firstly, what was the useless son-in-law doing, sitting next to his wife? And why was she laughing so much? Having already suffered from a heart attack before, he quickly realized that he was admitted into a hospital, but why was his wife busy talking with Benjamin when she would be worried about him?Though he didn’t want to admit it, Benjamin was a much better looking guy and was younger, too. It was natural that his wife would get easily attracted toward the son-in-law who even managed to fool someone like Rebecca into marrying him. Just the thought of Benjamin playing with his wife squeezed his heart.His blood pressure began to rise. The

Rebecca’s cry was heard by the maids and the butlers. Though she felt quite the pain for a second, once he put her on the bed and her foot neatly rested, she didn’t feel the pain anymore.“I’m sorry,” Benjamin apologized for the tenth time. “I was…” he couldn’t say the reason as he was staring at her face and forgot about the surroundings.“I don’t think you did it on purpose,” Rebecca said, “so it’s alright.”Benjamin was left speechless. Was she always so understanding? No, something definitely changed in her. He couldn’t pinpoint it but could feel it.“Uh, I couldn’t make it to the job in the morning,” he said, “so I asked for a night shift.”“Oh, so you won’t be here tonight.”“Yeah.” He sounded disappointed.She felt a little bit sour. She currently wasn’t wearing the wedding ring. “Okay. I give you permission.”Whether she was being humorous or not, Benjamin faintly smiled and said, “Thank you, my love.” He leaned forward and gently adjusted a few strands of hair falling down th

What Benjamin thought would become a memorable afternoon turned into a forgettable one. The family doctor was called to treat Rebecca. Selena hurriedly came home and kicked Benjamin out of the room.“How could you not know Rebecca is allergic to dogs?” even Veronica just looked at Benjamin with eyes full of disgust. “You really don’t deserve to be her husband!”Benjamin couldn’t even talk with Rebecca as the mother and daughter pair blocked the entrance.He could only walk the other way and exit the villa. He sat on the stairs, wearing a dull expression. He only wanted to brighten Rebecca’s spirit, but he ended up worsening her situation. He clutched his head. “I only want to show how much I love her, but why do things always turn out this way? It’s like God doesn’t want me to be with her?” he looked up at the sky. “No one can go against your plans, right? It’s times like these I want to believe there’s no God.”Benjamin’s mobile received a text message. He checked it, and his heart s

At midnight, Benjamin came home with a large pizza he took two hours to prepare. He had to take leave early before his night shift was over. After all, he wouldn’t want to feed his wife a pizza at four in the morning.It was just past twelve, and the dogs were out and barking and playing in the garden. They noticed Benjamin strolling toward the villa, but what caught their noses was the smell emanating from the package in his hands.All six dogs began running toward him, already drooling saliva. Benjamin initially didn’t think anything was wrong, but the scene of six dogs running brought up doubt in his mind. Once he realized that they were attracted by the smell of the pizza, his heart skipped a beat.He immediately ran toward the villa. The dogs were faster than him, or so it seemed initially. Whether it was the work of adrenaline or not, Benjamin actually managed to cover more distance than the dogs and entered the villa. Once he was in, the dogs didn’t dare step inside. They had a

Shawn had been sitting on a golf court for over two hours, but he patiently waited. A Ferrari entered his view, and then gradually the noise of its engine. He stood and didn’t move even though the vehicle came straight at him. At the last second, the vehicle arched around him and stopped fast, lifting up grass and dirt. A handsome hunk stepped out. He was almost as tall as Shawn and just as masculine. He was wearing what might seem like a casual white T-shirt and blue jeans, but these were the same clothes worn by his favorite movie stars, which he later acquired for free. His shoes had gold linings, and so hid the tip of his wallet showing through the backpocket. “Did I make you wait for too long?” he asked. “Any longer, and I might have come looking for you,” Shawn said with a poker face. “Haha,” he and Shawn then laughed and shook each other’s hands. They sat down at a table with an umbrella attached on top. He took out two Mayan Sicars from the tobacco box and gave one to Shaw

Anous’ wife told him to quit the job. However, not wanting to lose his primary sponsor, he was thinking of returning to work in a few days even though he suffered from a heart attack.“Benjamin told my wife that I should bring his car?” Anous’ frowned a little bit. “So he isn't as dumb as I thought. But I have Madam Elizabeth on my side. I have nothing to fear even if the truth gets known.”At that moment, Alfred entered the room with a basket full of fruits and a bouquet. “You seem to be doing great, Mr. Anus.”“I don’t know who you are, mister, but my name isn’t Anus. It’s Anous. U is silent.”“Ah, is it?” Alfred sat down and began crunching on one of the apples from the basket, puzzling Anous, who thought the fruits were brought for him.“Who are you, sir? What do you want?” Anous asked. His wife or children weren't in the room.“I just came to see a patient in the room next to you,” Alfred replied, “so I thought I’d meet you as well.”“Oh, but… do I know you?”“No, you don’t,” Alf

Instead of parking the car, Oliver was taking a tour throughout the garden in the bugatti. “Haha, this is freaking awesome!” he felt so thrilled. “If I can bust out through a gate, it’ll be like playing GTA in real life!”However, his excitement was cut short by Lisa and Roshan who wanted to drive the black-and-orange Bugatti Chiron for themselves.Oliver could only cry on the inside as he got out of the car with a smile on his face.Lisa wanted to sit in the driver’s seat, but Roshan pulled her back by her hair and sat in the driver’s seat first. She yelled at him, telling him to get out, but he shut the door and went for a ride in the super sports car. “Huhoo… this engine speaks speed! The turbochargers really work!” He recklessly drove the car around the garden.Vlad and Mercie were watching from the balcony while licking on lollipops with strawberry flavors, and while putting on a poker face, they bet on whether Roshan would hit the car to a tree or not.Meanwhile, Kathy knocked t

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f

While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei

Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it

George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you

Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co
