The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Selena sitting on the edge of her bed. “What brought you here so early, Mom?” she asked in a voice.“Nothing. I just wanted to see your face,” Selena could see that only part of the bed had folds, which made her wonder if Benjamin was sleeping on the couch. To support her theory, Benjamin’s bag was still next to the couch.Rebecca slowly sat up.“Is this enough for the two of you?” Selena asked. “If you want, you can move to a bigger room. We can remodel one of the guest rooms, and…”“It’s okay, Mom. We’re fine with this room,” she said.Selena noticed something in Rebecca’s head. “Wait, is this gray hair?” she quickly leaned closer and observed it. “I-It really is a gray hair, Rebecca.”“Yeah,” Rebecca said, not at all surprised as she had noticed it already. “It’s just one hair.”“No, you shouldn’t neglect it,” Selena quickly said. “I didn’t get gray hair until I turned forty five. I was stressed a lot, too, you know. But I do exercises

At the dining table in the morning.Everyone was very surprised by how good the items tasted. With Sheron gone, Benjamin took it upon himself to cook everything. Though his dishes weren’t as eye-pleasing as Sheron’s, they were so much tastier. Even the eggs were boiled perfectly, in that they were still soft after boiling.Selena didn’t want to admit it, but this was better than what she ate in the five-star hotels.She wanted to keep eating, but she had to control herself.“Did you cook everything, Uncle?” Lisa asked Benjamin.“Yeah, is it good?” he asked.“It is decent,” Lisa said, but she couldn’t help but think back about the pizza that he had tried to offer last evening. Benjamin had told her that he put a lot of effort into making it, so she wished that she hadn’t rejected it. After all, she was a foodie. “If you want, you can bring me a pizza this evening.”Benjamin was pleasantly surprised to hear that. “I will definitely bring one for you,” he said, even though a special pizz

Rebecca dropped Benjamin at Rye’s Pizzas. As he got out of the car, she said, “You did well, supporting my sister. I think her attitude toward you will change from now on. I can tell.”“I didn’t do it so she’d treat me better,” Benjamin replied. “I did it because I’m her brother-in-law. Since her brothers were not helping her, I believed that at least I should. Lisa and Roshan wanted pizzas. Do you want one as well?”“You know my answer,” she said. “I don’t eat-”“Fast food. Yeah, I know,” Benjamin waved his hand at her and walked away. He walked past a fat woman who was coming out of the nearby gym. She was struggling to open her bottle cap, so he went over and opened it for her. He then seemed to have shared a few words with her before leaving.And the fat lady began to get emotional and shed tears.Rebecca saw that and quickly stepped out of the car and approached her. “Are you okay?”“Yes, I’m fine,” the fat woman wiped her tears away.“I saw a guy talking with you. Did he say som

Rebecca came to her office that morning and was working, but something had been making her think.She was not able to work properly, and so she took a little break and called Jane’s number.Jane didn’t answer.“Tsk, it looks like she hasn't woken up yet,” Rebecca thought. “It’s ten o’clock, though. She probably slept around four or five in the morning after getting what she wanted. This woman thinks she’s living her life but is just letting guys run through her. She’s obsessed with guys so much that she even went outside to have fun. She’s become a sex addict now. I feel bad for her.”She went and sat back at her desk.About two hours later, Jane called her back.“Did you just wake up right now?” Rebecca asked. “Please tell me you’re not in someone’s bed right now.”“Haha, you know how it is,” Jane laughed. “Yesterday, I met a guy who works at a hedge fund. I thought he’d be boring, but he’s very good with his math and joking skills. He paid for my drinks, and I went home with him to

In the evening.Rebecca arrived at Rye’s Pizzas.And he saw the fat woman talking with Benjamin outside the store. “What was her name again? Leyla or something?” Rebecca frowned. “She said she’s not interested, but look at what she’s doing now…” she gripped tightly onto the steering wheel. She wanted to get out and roast that woman right there in front of Benjamin, but she sat in the car and waited to see how long they’d keep talking.“Diet is indeed important, but your breathing also matters a lot,” Benjamin was talking with Leyla. “I’ve noticed that you’re breathing more through your mouth. That’s not a good thing to do. Our noses are built to pressurize, heat up, moisten, and filter the air, so that we end up absorbing a lot of oxygen out of what we breathe. But if you breathe through your mouth, it will only put a lot of stress on your body. I think that’s why your body is breaking down instead of recovering.”“Nose breathing, huh…” Leyla looked very surprised. “I have never thou

After coming home, Rebecca did not say a word to Benjamin for hours.Benjamin had bought an extra pizza home, not including the ones he bought for Lisa and Roshan. He was hoping to share that third pizza with Rebecca, but when he asked her if she’d eat it, she said, “Give it to Leyla. She’ll appreciate it a lot more than I do.”No matter what Benjamin tried to do, Rebecca kept piercing his mind and squeezing his heart with her ever so sharp words. Even arrows and bullets wouldn’t hurt someone so deeply.That night was like a living nightmare to Benjamin. He really experienced the word ‘miserable,’ and he was not able to sleep, either.In the middle of the night, he came out to the balcony to get some fresh air.“I’m telling her the truth, but she’s not listening. If the truth doesn’t work, then what can I do?” he shook his head. “Her ego is blinding her from seeing the truth. She’s mistaking what I did for something else. I just hope that she’ll somehow forget this incident, or I have

The next morning.Benjamin prepared breakfast for everyone once again, and the maids were looking as if they were having mixed feelings about this. On one hand, they loved the dishes he made, but on the other hand, he was making them look like they didn’t know how to cook.Delle was decent, but Amber and Kathy were nowhere near, so they were the ones who were not hiding their disappointment with their eyes.Benjamin tried to put an egg on Rebecca’s plate.“No,” she quickly said.“Why?” he asked.“She doesn’t need to explain herself to you,” Selena intervened. “If she says no, it stays a no. Get used to that. The faster the better.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Mom, I met a guy the other day,” Veronica openly told her mother. “He seems like he’s very into me, and he wants to give me a car. Is that a good thing?”“How long have you known him?” Selena asked.“About ten days?” Veronica said. “I only met him twice though.”“Only ten days, and he wants to give you a car? That’s a red flag
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 691
Rebecca was driving, with Benjamin sitting in the back. He was reading the newspaper, and she was thinking about what he said at the dining table.“Being a green flag, huh…” she thought. “If I look at the way he lived after coming here, he did what was asked of him. He cooked, massaged, cleaned the floor and the toilet, polished the shoes, cleaned the dishes, and did almost all the things that were asked of him. He did not show much resistance. I wouldn’t say he took the pressure like a sponge, but he was not far from it, either. Does all this make him a green flag? If he were to reject them and stand up for himself, is that a good thing or a bad thing?”She thought about it for a while.And then she ended up asking him out of curiosity, “What exactly is a green flag? Can you give me a simpler explanation?”Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “I just told Veronica what I believed on the spot. I didn’t ever think about green flag or red flag until today.”“Then… is what you said not gen
