Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 122
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

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

When Rebecca was having lunch, Veronica came home crying and ran to her room.Rebecca followed her into the room with a worried look on her face. Veronica had jumped onto her bed and buried her face in the pillow as tears kept flowing out.“Veronica,” Rebecca sat down and grabbed her arm. “What happened? Why are you crying like this? Did someone say anything bad to you?” Blood rushed into her eyes. While she might ignore insults thrown at her, she found it hard to digest when his sister was the subject of pain. “Tell me his name. I’ll go and put him in his place!”“Don’t make things worse for me, sis. Just go.”“Don’t speak like that. Tell me what happened. It will lessen the burden on your heart.”“Leave me alone, please.”“Veronica. Nothing will change from crying,” Rebecca sat down and tried to console her. “Only your health will worsen. So, please listen to me. Tell me what happened, and I’ll try to give you a solution.”After crying some more, Veronica sat up. Rebecca wiped her t

Jane and Donovan came to the Pure Waters bar.“So this is where you said your friends first met, right?” Donovan asked her.“Yeah, she didn’t come to this bar after that night, I think,” Jane replied.They sat at a table and ordered drinks.Jane kept staring at him. “Donovan… I don’t care about your past or future plans, but just answer me this one thing. Ever since we started dating, have you slept with another woman?”Donovan was startled for a second, but he assuredly smiled, “How can I?”“Just say yes or no.”“Of course, not.” He put his hand on top of her hand. “We are a beautiful pair, and we are sexually compatible. Why would I even look for another woman?”She faintly smiled, but that didn’t last long. “You mean you will look at other women when I stop being beautiful?”“I didn’t say that!”She smiled again and slapped his hand. “Just kidding.”Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.“You know what? Our conversation reminds me of another conversation I had with Rebecca.”“About wha

“This place is really special to me,” Benjamin replied somewhat indifferently. “I can’t let you guys close it, even if it’s for a few days.”“What?” the police officer couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy. He took his baton out.“Wow, chill, bro,” Benjamin got out of the seat. “You don’t have the court orders to shut this place down, do you?”“I don’t need to show you anything. Now, get out!”“Calm down, sir,” Benjamin politely said. “My in-laws have been treating me poorly, so this is the only place I can come every day and take my stress out, so what will happen to me if you close this bar?”“I don’t care,” the officer yelled.“Then, can I at least come to your station and pass time there?” Benjamin innocently asked.“What?” Irritation coiled up the officer’s intestines. “You think that the police station is your guest house?” he swung the baton at Benjamin’s legs without hesitation.Benjamin jumped over the couch and dodged the attack. The officer chased him. Benjamin made him ru

“I was so looking forward to coming to your wedding reception, but then it didn’t happen.” “I’m sorry, Evelyn,” Rebecca was talking over a mobile while learning to cook rice with the help of online videos. “A lot of things happened, and… I can’t give you a date yet, but it will happen one day.” “Huh, I thought you would be the last one to get married in our friend group, but you are always full of surprises.” “I didn’t plan for things to happen this way, you know.” “Mm, can you… help me find a boyfriend? They all look the same to me. Give me some advice. You used to date many men in university? How did you choose them?” “Haha. I didn’t choose them. They chose me.” Evelyn sighed. “So I just have to try everyone and then judge?” “There’s no easy way as far I know,” replied Evelyn. “But when you find the right one, your heart will tell you that he’s special.” “Special in what way?” “Well, my guy can sweet-talk, but he doesn’t put up all sorts of facades like most men do. He doesn
