Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 118
“Hey,” Benjamin waved his hand before Rebecca. Only then she started blinking. “Are you fine?”“Y-Yeah, I”m fine,” Rebecca picked up the glass and sipped on the spicy lemonade. Her eyes, however, stole glances at him. He looked ten times more manly and cooler in this jacket and jeans. The helmet was resting on his thigh. He was spinning the keys around his forefinger and looked completely comfortable and lively. The only thing she didn’t like was his beard. It was eating away most of his looks.Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t look at Benjamin. The last time they met, she had slapped him, after all.After Benjamin sat at their table, the atmosphere slowly but surely changed. Benjamin didn’t say a word, but the male energy made the two women go silent for a little while. He didn’t do anything other than sit in between them, but he seemed dominant for some reason.“You got your job back at Rye’s Pizzas?” asked Rebecca, sporting an awkward smile.He nodded. “How’s your mother doing?”“S

“My real name is…”“Madame,” the waiter intruded into their space, “any more orders?”Rebecca and Jane glared at him.“O-Okay. I’ll come back later,” he walked away without making any sound.Jane turned her head fast and looked at Benjamin. “So, you were saying…”He looked into Rebecca’s eyes. “It’s Benjamin Wolfe. That’s my real name.”A second of silence passed, not counting the noise of the breeze and the sounds of the street.“So much suspense for nothing,” Jane blurted out. “Aren’t both the names almost the same?”Rebecca stayed silent, but she was feeling a lot better now. After all, she was so glad to hear that his real first name was Benjamin, a name which had a special place in her heart, one which she had grown attached to.“Yeah, but…” Benjamin was trying to explain himself.“You don’t need to say more,” Rebecca stopped him. “You must have had your reasons for hiding your family name, so you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t feel like it.”Benjamin didn’t want to tel

“The wider street has many turns and speed bumps because of the schools,” Benjamin stated.“It’s okay. You can enter the wider one,” she said, having no clue she would regret her decision big time.Benjamin happily drove through the wider street, and the many speed bumps made sure her chest kept bumping into his back very many times. Her face flushed into an orange tomato pretty fast. She wanted to cover her chest with her hands, but she was too afraid to let go of him. In the end, she had to bear through everything.After reaching the end of that street, Benjamin squeezed the brake and asked, “Do you want to go through the narrow way?”Rebecca squinted her eyes. If she were to say yes, he would turn the bike and make it go over all the speed bumps again. “No!” she quickly responded in a grudging manner. Forget about getting turned on, she felt so embarrassed right now.“Are you sure?” he asked innocently.“I’m sure. Super sure. Never been more sure about something in my entire life.”

Artur reached the Sterling villa. Kathy escorted him and Luther to a particular room.“I believe this room used to be…” he was saying.“Not even a bouquet or a bag of fruits?” Selena snorted. “Why am I not surprised?”“Haha, I doubt you’d actually eat any of the fruits I bring,” Artur sat on the couch prepared for him. “My father sent his regards. He hopes you recover fast. You know him pretty well, don’t you?”She softly laughed for a second. “Not as well as you might think.”“I heard him once say during one of his drunken speeches that he asked you to spend a night with him and you wanted 1 billion dollars per night. Is that correct? Did that really happen?”“He’s got the number exaggerated, but I did ask him to pay the number I’m sure he wouldn’t.”“Is that so?”“Anyway, I wasn’t expecting you to visit so fast and at this hour to say the least. I’m sure it’s not just to see how I’m doing or to talk about my past with your dad. So, why do you have such interest in my daughter, Artur

Rebecca lay down on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep. Everything she had done that day was still pretty fresh in her mind.She couldn’t believe she had experienced so many positive moments in just one day. Some of the things she only dreamed as a teenager actually came true. She held his hands and walked together. Sat under a tree and ate and talked and laughed together. Though she didn’t get to fish, she didn’t mind that at all. After all, she had experienced enough memorable moments that she wouldn’t be able to forget, probably forever.However, the only thing she regretted was that she couldn’t put her arm around his shoulders in the same way he couldn’t. “I saw him hesitating to put his arm around my shoulders, but I couldn’t react to it. Now, I wish I put my arm around his shoulders. I missed doing such a cool thing.”Though she had dated many men, she had never held their hands or been close with them, so everything that had happened today was kind of a first for her. So, despite

Rodnie warned the upper class students to not treat Lisa and Roshan disrespectfully, and that if anybody crossed the line, they would be immediately expelled.Still and all, one girl tried her luck against Roshan and then got kicked out of the school on the very same day after Roshan complained about her.At the same time, Benjamin paid a visit to the filling station where Nate was working part-time.Seeing Benjamin, Nate called for his friends that were there. Benjamin beat them all and poured petrol over all of them, including Nate. He took out the matchstick he brought, which caused Nate and everyone there to piss in their pants.“If I see you or your friends ever bothering Lisa or another girl for that matter,” Benjamin lit the matchstick, making them cry and sob and beg for their lives. They couldn’t even run away given the state they were in. Running wouldn’t help as petrol kept pumping out of the pipe even now. It was falling on Benjamin’s boots as well, but he didn’t look the

Selena allowed a journalist and critic to enter the villa to give an interview. While she talked about her health and her current and future film projects, she also said, “Sterling family is doing great. Now that my daughter’s bitter husband is gone, our villa is much more peaceful now.”“Can you tell me a bit more about this son-in-law?” the journalist asked.“There’s nothing to tell. He’s always ill-disposed and does not like our family. We couldn’t bear him. My daughter especially…” she wiped her non-existent tear from her eyebrow. “She’s been through hell and is still recovering. It’s scary how the entire family can be thrown into chaos with the arrival of just one bad person.”“Can you tell us his name?”“Trashmi-… Ahem, I mean, Benjamin… something. He’s short and full of shortcomings. He doesn’t comb his hair, doesn’t shave his beard. Heck, he doesn’t even get out of bed until he gets tea delivered to him. He gets all his work done by my daughter and the maids. I still can’t bel

Jacob was talking with Fabio Romano, the one who owned over 500 theater sites across the world. “It’s risky, but if everything goes as planned, the profits will hit heaven. By the way, how are things going between your son and my daughter?”“Remedeus is a soft guy,” replied Fabio, lighting up a cigar, “but your daughter has been testing his temper, it seems. I just hope he doesn’t lash out at her.”“Yeah. When soft guys get angry, they really get angry. Let’s hope they’ll somehow work it.”Jacob received a call. It was from Veronica. “Speak of the devil!” He answered and put the call on speaker.“Dad, I just went out on a date with Remedeus for the fourth time, and he wrote a poem for me.”“Hoho, really?” Jacob chortled and looked at Fabio who smiled back. Even Fabio was surprised because he didn't think his son had it in him.“Yeah, let me read it to you.”“No need, girl. You should keep it to you.”“No. Just listen first, okay?” she insisted. “Veronica, you’re my angel with eyes big
