Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 58
At night. Benjamin was sitting on his bed and watching the Lost Love series with his wife. She was sitting in her bed. She was watching season four, so she glanced at Benjamin. “How can you understand it when you start in the middle? You are just watching it to get my attention, aren’t you?” “Why do you ask when you already know?” Benjamin chewed on roasted almonds rather angrily. Because of her, he had to watch the show in which Selena was one of the main leads. For him, it was a torture. “Because I don’t like what you’re doing,” Rebecca said. “I can’t put complete focus on the tv-show.” “Huh? I’m sitting like six feet away from you!” “Still, I can’t focus because of your chewing noises and scratching your beard every other minute. Why don’t you just sleep?” Benjamin could only sigh. “I don’t understand why you need to ‘focus’ while watching a romantic drama. I can easily guess the screenplay. The main leads get together after some long struggle and then easily break up because

Selena rushed back to her room and brought binoculars and peered through the lens to get an absolutely zoomed-in look at her daughter and her much-hated son-in-law.Right now, the chemistry between them still seemed awkward, so that was a positive. Still, thoughts blasted in her mind, making her strain her neurons as she wondered how exactly her daughter managed to reach the garden.Did Trashmin bring her in his arms? DID HE?“Dangerous… It’s too dangerous to keep them in the same room. I must separate them somehow!”“Now I really despise that little slut Jane! She must be the one responsible behind this change. Ever since she returned, my daughter’s gaze has become softer.”“Women are physically weaker beings,” she gritted her teeth, “if a stronger man were to help her when she’s in a vulnerable state, he’ll leave a great impact on her heart. I can’t allow that to happen! Not when Edward has just begun to knock on her heart!”She wanted to call Edward, making him rush to the villa an

The new stairs were completely built. They appeared more fashionable than the older ones. Vlad and Mercie played together as they ran up and down the stairs until they grew tired. The maids warned them that it was dangerous to play on the stairs, but as usual, they lived in their own little worlds that didn’t easily listen to others’ words. Meanwhile, Selena postponed her film dates because she had things to take care of at home. She didn’t try to overthink and just stuck to plans that had always worked for her. And her main weapon was keeping Benjamin busy and frustrated. It was found on that very same day that Dorothy was suffering from severe pain in her feet because of skin cracking underfoot, especially at the toes as well as the heels. Doctor told her to get warm water treatment regularly. However, Dorothy made Benjamin wash her feet before letting her legs soak in warm water mixed with salt. After enough soaking, he had to massage her feet for at least ten minutes before appl

Right after massaging Nolan’s back, both with hands and with a warm towel, Benjamin went to the kitchen to oversee the breakfast preparations. After that, he got a little bit of breathing space to bathe and to eat.Rebecca noticed a change in Benjamin. He would usually whistle while bathing, especially loudly when he was in a good mood, but he didn’t whistle in over a week. But since that wasn’t really a big deal in her perspective, she didn’t think much about it.Right before leaving the room, he made time to wave goodbye to Rebecca. Though she didn’t respond back with her voice, she was forcing herself to at least smile in return.Benjamin walked out through the main door and readied the car for the kids. Today, the kids were late, so he had to wait.He received a call. It was from Alfred.“Master, how long are you going to let them oppress you?” Alfred sounded frustrated and angry. “They are treating you worse than a dog. When will this ridiculous game end?”“It may look ridiculous

Blackbear sent one of his men to meet Christopher in the afternoon. Christopher was given a thousand dollars and was just told one thing. “Make Benjamin’s life difficult. Make him cry and run from his job, and you’ll receive ten times more.”Of course, Blackbear was never thinking of giving another dollar more, but Christopher loved the offer. He never really liked Benjamin anyway, and he always secretly worried about Benjamin outshining him and snatching his job for him, so if he can make Benjamin quit the job, this would be hitting two birds with one stone.He devised a plan and waited until evening. When Benjamin came back after delivering his last order, he left his uniform and the work-related sim here. Christopher took the sim and gave it to another new delivery guy and told him to do exactly as told.The new pizza guy took deliveries in Benjamin’s name the entire night and delivered late in half of the orders, and with pizzas messed up in some other cases. He received a string

Benjamin was riding his bike, and his recent conversation with Lisa came to the front of his mind.“You have such a beautiful woman for a wife, so how could you fall for me?” she sounded shocked and disappointed. “But… I guess I can understand since she isn’t letting you come near to her, and also since I’m good looking, but still, I already have a boyfriend, and you’re already married!”Thinking back on those words, Benjamin shook his head a few times fast. “That little devil… she sure shook me up back there. I couldn’t take the card back from her. Was that her plan from the start? I guess she’s growing up to be as cunning as her mother.”Then he began to worry.“She wouldn’t say unnecessary things to Rebecca, would she?” Just thinking about it made him tremble. What if Rebecca believed Lisa’s words? No, he didn’t even want to imagine that case.He didn’t even want to think about it, but he couldn’t stop worrying about it. What if she told Rebecca the foolish story? How would he be a

Benjamin came back to his room, but he was still feeling tense, worrying if Lisa was going to run her mouth in front of her mother even after he explained everything to her.He looked at Rebecca who was looking at a diet plan.“Mm? What’s that?” he asked.“I went to Powell’s Gym today,” she said. “He said I can start coming next week.”“Powell’s Gym?”“Yeah, he’s a famous trainer. He only trains top celebrities it seems. He said I should visit for at least a month.”Benjamin really wanted to go to the gym with her, but he had a job to keep. Now that Elizabeth had taken over Christopher’s role, he didn’t want to go to Rye’s Pizzas as he was sure she would do everything in her capabilities to humiliate him in front of co-workers.“Actually…” Rebecca glanced at him. “I was wondering… if…” she hesitantly asked, “you could… accompany me?”Benjamin’s heart began beating fast and energetically all of a sudden, and he kept staring at her with a complex yet grateful expression.“Are you willin

The next morning.Rebecca woke up seconds after Benjamin did. She saw him brushing his teeth, so she purposely went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth, too. Benjamin walked out of the bathroom to give some space.(Why are you going out when I came in for you?) she could only brush her teeth harder. After she exited, Benjamin went in.She didn’t sit on her bed but kept walking around. Benjamin then went upstairs to the rooftop.“Why does he always go up every day? Does he like breathing some fresh air?”She wanted to follow him, but the stairs still felt intimidating. She didn’t want to bite off more than she could chew.Luckily, Lisa was passing by. She asked Lisa to give her a hand.As Lisa helped Rebecca climb the stairs, she asked, “Why do you want to walk so much when your injury hasn’t fully healed, Aunt?”“If we wait for the wound to heal completely, it will take forever,” Rebecca said. “Besides, I don’t like sitting on the bed and doing nothing.”“You can watch movies and

“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

Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
