Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 867
Rebecca thought Selena already had her plate full of things needed to deal with, so the last thing she expected from her mother was to arrange a date, not with one man but with two men on the same day.Rebecca got so frustrated and angry she just didn’t know what to do. If it was in the past, she would have just completely ignored her mother, but she really felt offended this time.Nevertheless, she smiled and said, “Mom, send me their numbers and other details. I’ll meet them tomorrow.”“Oh, thank you, my little pigeon,” Selena gave her a quick hug. She was expecting her daughter to give her a cold shoulder, so she was as happy as a clam at high water. “From here onward, you’re going to live a royal life. I promise.”Rebecca then went upstairs to her room.Veronica came to her mother with a bit of a shocked expression. “Did she really not complain about you setting up a date for her?”“Haha, she didn’t,” Selena rubbed her nose. “And you should watch and learn from her. She realized h

The next morning.A green lamborghini and a black ferrari stopped outside an open restaurant at the same time.Out of the green car, a 27-year-old long-haired youth stepped out. He was Brook Gray, the CEO of the Gray Corp with a turnover of 1.8 billion dollars last year.Out of the black car, a 19-year-old stylish young man stepped out. He was Lucas Moore, the new chairman of Moore Holdings with a revenue of over 25 billion dollars last year.Both the young men started staring at each other from the moment they stepped out of the car. Brook’s expression was a little icier compared to Moore’s expression.“What brought a Moore to a simple restaurant like this?” Brook snorted.“That’s my question,” Lucas calmly and confidently approached him. “You are the type who likes to show off. You wouldn’t come here unless it’s associated with a girl. Are you dating someone?”“You came here in a Ferrari, so you shouldn’t talk like you’re a humble guy,” Brook let out hot air through his nose before

“Hmph,” Brook put his goggles back on and walked away. “Farewell.”Rebecca looked at Lucas. “You should leave, too.”Lucas smiled and sat down. “Now, only the two of us are left. I don’t mind spending a few more minutes with you.”“What makes you think I’ll change my mind?” Rebecca asked him.“I’m not expecting you to change your mind right away,” Lucas replied. “I’m not like Brook who keeps a list of lines to use when flirting with ladies, but I’m the type who seeks personality more than anything else. I was inspired by the fact that you rose to fame in the designing field in a very short time. You became one of the highest paid in your field. Though some of your designs are quite revealing, I also noticed that you don’t wear such clothing anywhere. I found that very interesting. I’m trying to find a woman with depth and good understanding skills. I think you fit the bill.”“You’ve got it wrong, Mr. Lucas,” Rebecca kept her cool, knowing that she offended Lucas by telling him to come

“Who are you?” Lucas asked the young man, Benjamin, trying to be calm and composed even though he’s clearly upset.“Aren’t you slow in picking up the clues!” Benjamin retorted. “Dude, I’m the one she’s interested in. So, it’s time for you to get back to your Ferrari.”Lucas looked at Rebecca as if waiting for her to say something.Rebecca nodded. “You should go.”Lucas reluctantly stood and hated the fact that Benjamin was waving his hand, seeing him off.After Lucas left, Rebecca shifted her gaze to Benjamin. “What was that all about?”“I just saved your time, and your return gift is a cold look,” Benjamin was all too familiar with this sharp, numbing look she had going right now. Nevertheless, he returned her a friendly, pleasant smile.Rebecca didn’t know what to say. “Mr. Benjamin…”“You can just call me Benjamin.”“You are one of those guys who can deal with almost anything with a smile on your face, right?” she said.“No. When I can kill someone or something, I don’t smile,” Ben

The Two Way restaurant was a charming little place nestled on a cobblestone street, its warm lights spilling onto the sidewalk like golden honey.The faces of the people sitting at the tables glowed beautifully like they would under morning’s sunlight.“In the past, my friend Jane has made a list of potential suitors for me,” Rebecca said. “After much deliberation, I decided to give it a try. I met those men at a small cafe during weekends. I still remember it very vividly. The first guy’s name was Max, I believe. His shoes were brighter than his teeth. He probably rented those shoes and clothes somewhere.“And then there was a guy with such a big beard that I thought squirrels might be living in there. The more they talked, the less interested I felt. I didn’t click with any of them.”“Then what about me?” Benjamin asked.“You have a girlfriend, and you’re looking for another girl,” Rebecca said. “That’s a whole new level of craziness. How did you even think I would believe your word

Rebecca was walking back home, and Benjamin was walking with her. She was walking fast, so he said, “I can’t walk that fast. Can we slow down a little bit?”Why would she slow down when she wanted to get home quickly so that she didn’t have to see his face or his smile anymore?Still, Rebecca slowed down just a bit not because he asked her but because her eyes caught the design of a girl passing by. She was wearing a t-shirt with a cat wearing goggles, and the bold slogan underneath: Too Good To Purrsuade!Benjamin noticed that. “She seems to like cats more than men. The chances of her getting to her forties as a single woman with four cats for company are not low.”Rebecca almost cracked a complex smile while also wondering if he was directing those words toward her as well.“Do you like cats, Miss Rebecca?” he asked.“No, I hate anything with fur on it,” Rebecca replied.“Hate is a strong word. Why do you hate them?”“Well, hate isn’t the correct word, but I just don’t want them nea

“It must be hard for the mama to feed so many of her children,” Benjamin pitied the waterfowl. “Do you want to feed them?”“The mother knows how to feed her children. Why should we disturb it?” Rebecca blurted and kept walking.There were people who were taking pictures of the duck and the ducklings. Rebecca might have tried to feed it if she was alone, but she didn’t want any unnecessary attention.Benjamin knew how soft Rebecca was deep down. She was the woman who waited at the doorstep of the villa for hours for her mother to come home everyday.So, Benjamin tried to stir her up a little. “Look at those people. They are all taking pictures, but none of them are feeding those poor things. I guess the mama duck and her babies are going to go to sleep on a half or an empty stomach tonight.”Rebecca stopped after taking a few steps. “Tsk,” she looked through her handbag and found four dollar bills. She went to the nearby grocery store. Different types of bread were on the shelves. She

The walk back to the Sterling villa together with Rebecca felt like a millennium of heartache because her words full of refusal weighed heavily on his heart.There was a point when Benjamin had cried and begged God to help his broken relationship between him and his wife. He felt like doing that all over again now. He couldn’t wait to go to his room so he could pray.“Don’t ignore her just because she’s obsessed with you,” Rebecca told him as they reached the villa. “In my opinion, there’s no greater achievement than marrying the one who loves you. So, don’t look elsewhere.”Benjamin’s lips trembled slightly, not knowing how to stage a comeback.Seeing Rebecca and Benjamin entering the villa together, Selena was surprised. “I’m sure they left at different times. Why are they coming together? Is there something going on between them?”Selena’s eyes were filled with a strange glow, which could make people mistake into thinking that her eyes might be worth as much as precious crystals.S

Benyamin and Rebecca came home in the Porsche.Rebecca looked happy, but Benyamin looked even happier. He was putting on a fake smile as Rye and Uzza were watching from the balcony.He waved his hand at them while Rebecca wasn’t watching.“The nerve of this guy….” Uzza’s jaw hardened. “Please tell me that Maara told Dahlia of the situation here.”“If Dahlia comes and sees what’s happening, all hell will break loose,” Rye opined. “She won’t just talk with him. She will destroy him.”“Yeah. I can see that. Dahlia is very kind in general, but when she gets angry, no one can stop her,” Uzza said.“If she sees Neel like this, she won’t just get angry. She’ll lose her mind. It’s hard to predict what she will do.”Uzza glanced at Rye. “Anyway, what was that back massage all about? Did Benjamin change his mind and give up on Rebecca?”Rye sighed deeply. “I wish that was the case, but he’s so fixated on the 40 day challenge. I was sitting on top of him at some point, and his lips didn’t even b

Louis and Bella were having talks with the Queen’s cafe owner.The star-studded cafe buzzed with a low, melodic hum—the clinking of spoons against china, the murmur of conversations in English, French and many other languages, and the soft jazz drifting from a hidden speaker.Rain pattered lightly against the window, blurring the city lights into impressionistic streaks of color.Benyamin, his dark hair slightly damp from the drizzle, seemingly was captivated not by the view, but by the woman sitting across from him as she told him funny stories from her past.“I’m telling you the truth,” Rebecca said. “The pigeon Elizabeth bought ate the whole croissant right off the table. I’ve never seen anything like it. Elizabeth thought the maid ate the croissant when she wasn’t looking. It led to an argument, until Elizabeth saw the pigeon go for another food item.“After that day, she let the bird go, but that bird would return to Elizabeth’s window for food. She didn’t feed that bird at all,

In the end, Rye didn’t kiss Benjamin. She got up from him and walked away.Benjamin still lay down on the bed.Rye’s scent was still in the air. It was also on his clothes. It was intoxicating, for sure, and he was finding it hard to fight the fleshly feelings that were stirring in him.Benjamin was not even thirty years old.He was near if not at the peak of his manhood, and it wasn’t easy to control the urge of a young man to let a woman’s scent affect him.On top of that, it had a familiar scent.All this made things quite difficult for him.Benjamin didn’t even move for a couple of minutes. Only after his body temperature and heartbeat went down, he got up from the bed.But before he could leave the room, Riley entered the room and shut the door.“W-What are you…” Benjamin was startled.“Hi, slickie,” Riley grinned with shyness and excitement as she approached him. “Can we have a quick, honest talk?”“No, we can’t,” Benjamin said. “Open the door, and let’s talk outside.” He was wa

The first to get upstairs was Roshan followed by his sister Lisa. Riley and other youngsters were right behind.When they looked through the open door in the nearest room, they were all shocked to see Rye walking on top of Benjamin’s back and massaging him.Selena and others also saw what was going on, and the situation turned from a completely serious one into a jovial one.“Haha, what a cute, romantic couple,” Selena laughed heartily.Riley, however, didn’t like what she saw. She wished she was in Rye’s position. She wanted to be the one walking on Benjamin’s back. She couldn’t hide her jealousy which leaked through her eyes right now.“It’s been a while since we’ve done that,” Shawn whispered in his wife’s ears. “Shall we do it tonight?”Elizabeth laughed a little in response.Rebecca did not stay there for long. She walked away, and Benyamin followed her.“Are you feeling jealous of them?” he asked her.“Why would I? They’re lovers. It’s something obvious that they’d do that,” Reb

A long silence filled the hall of the Sterling villa.The only person who was able to smile other than Rebecca and Benyamin was Lisa who was just excited that a wedding was going to happen. She could invite her friends and show off.“A-A wedding?” Selena’s heart hammered against her chest.In the past, Rebecca did not want to reveal to the outside world about her marriage. But now, she wants to announce to the whole world about her marriage?And that, too, when Selena’s fame was rising higher than ever?What was she supposed to tell the guests at the wedding if they were to ask questions about Benyamin?Should she tell them that her son-in-law was a pizza-delivery guy?Just thinking about it sent shivers up and down her spine.“Don’t make this a never-ending debate, Rebecca,” Selena’s voice grew thick very much. “I didn’t like that you married, but you promised me that you wouldn’t hold a function and publicly announce your relationship with him.”“I never promised anything like that,

Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen

Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not

In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr
