Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 220
At Sterling villa. At 4 o’clock, what would be snack time, the maids were all busy preparing food, with Benjamin taking the lead. He didn’t want to do it, but Selena ordered him to do it, saying her colleagues were coming over for a meal. The reason Benjamin didn’t want to cook together with the maids was simple. He didn’t want to be anywhere close to Kathy because the other morning when he woke up, he felt her scent around him, which made him realize she probably snuck into his dorm room. Because he had taken sleeping pellets, he had no idea what happened that night, but then decided to stop taking the pills from then on. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Kathy, but he was just being cautious. He didn’t want to underestimate them and let them spoil his relationship with Rebecca. After all, the maids still worked for Selena and Jacob, so he couldn’t trust them in the least. Soon, the guests arrived. Fifteen in total. All of them were women, both young and old. Kathy knew a few of tho
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 221
If there ever was a classic experience of imagining one thing but seeing another thing, it happened when Benjamin quickly brought his foot and hit his mother-in-law’s ankle. She was a fit woman, and he expected her to withstand it without falling. However, she tumbled and fell on her face faster than a dog could pick a bone off the floor.This shocked everyone at the table. Almost every guest stood.Selena got back up pretty fast, but her nose kept pouring blood out. A lot of it. It wasn’t stopping, like a broken sink, and most of the guests cried out in fear and worry.Benjamin quickly reacted by placing a napkin at her nose. It was a dirty napkin used to carry hot dishes, but Selena didn’t even observe or care about that right now. Seeing a lot of her blood coming from her nose, she was just stunned.“It’s going to be okay,” Benjamin assured. “Just breathe slowly through the mouth. Keep it open slightly.”Selena briefly listened to him and did exactly what he asked her to do, but th

Benjamin followed Amber and entered what he believed was a tiger’s den at the moment.With an open book in hand, Selena was shooting daggers at him while summoning all her strength to control herself from jumping at him and scratching until he bled. Keeping one of her favorite books open when she was extremely angry was her way of stopping herself from breaking things and physically hurting people around her.The dedication this woman was showing in her hatred toward Benjamin even after nose-bleeding astonished Benjamin. He thought she would sleep and recover, but no, he was completely wrong in his estimations. Not only did this woman call Rebecca to come home immediately, but she also planned something else, which was why she made Amber bring him to her room.However, seconds passed, and Selena didn’t speak a word.It was after she received a text message from Delle, who was at the balcony, that Rebecca arrived, Selena began to bear the pain in her nose and tried to speak.“I called

“Your husband! You know what he did? He knew my colleagues were coming for lunch and mixed salt in the carrot milk pudding,” Selena yelled, even at the cost of making the pain in her nose spike. “They spat the dessert out of their mouths. I lost my face in front of my friends! All thanks to that statue standing before you!”Rebecca’s eyes enlarged upon hearing her mother’s words. She turned her head toward her husband who looked almost just as shocked as her. “Why did you—”“I didn’t do it,” Benjamin was quick to deny this time.“Of course, you would say that,” Selena growled. “Why would you accept doing something so evil? You want to keep acting like you’re the prince charming in front of my daughter, after all. You’re too obvious.”Rebecca kept staring at Benjamin without blinking. “You didn’t do it?”“I really didn’t do it, I swear,” Benjamin put weight into his voice. “Why would I mix salt in the dessert I spent so much effort to make? Does that make any sense?”“Then what about t

“Today hasn’t been easy for me,” Rebecca squeezed the back of her neck a couple of times. “I walked a lot, and my legs are hurting. Can you… massage my legs a little bit?” she tried asking as casually as she could, even though her heart was beating slightly faster than usual.“No. I won’t massage anyone more,” Benjamin quickly refused, but then he blinked twice and raised his voice. “Wait, did you ask me to massage YOU?”“Yeah,” she twirled her finger through her hair. “Can you do it or not?”"O-Of course, I can," Benjamin’s heart blossomed into a flower garden. “But... this isn’t a dream, right?”She shook her head and pinched his cheek.“This definitely isn’t a dream,” he grinned and picked her into his arms, startling her, but then he gently put her down on the bed. “I will do your bidding, but you should trust me when I say I didn’t mix salt in the carrot pudding. I would never do that. I’m not that small-minded.”Rebecca didn't say anything.“You still don’t believe me, huh. What

“Should I reveal the secret now?”When Benjamin asked Rebecca that question and blew his breath on her face, she felt her body melting. Some part of her really wanted to say yes, but then the situation in their family wasn’t good, and also the door wasn’t locked!Though she was a fashion designer, she didn’t like revealing too much of anything. She didn’t attend shows where even the private parts were revealed. Some thought she was just arrogant and was letting fame get to her head, but she liked to keep some things secretive, and she was also the same when it came to her romantic life. She didn’t want to kiss in front of others if possible. So the fact that the door was open really bothered her.She looked away and mumbled. “T-The door…”“Door? Ah, you must be talking about the door that leads to your heart. I think I’ll open it soon.”“I’m talking about our room’s door,” she pinched his cheek. “Silly.”“Our room’s door?” Benjamin’s expression changed. Now he understood the meaning b

Selena’s POV:In the middle of the night. An annoying owl had been hooting outside for a while now.Everyone in the villa was sleeping, except the one and only me, the upfront woman who got her nose broken by her own son-in-law. Staying up for this long and doing nothing… this probably didn’t happen in a long time. When was the last time I stayed awake like this? Yeah, when I found the guy I loved so much was just a liar with a fake identity. His whole goal was to trap me and keep me enslaved to sex, but I found out his true identity. It turned out he was sent by the mafia, who wanted to control me through him, because I was a rising star back then. If I hadn’t known that fact, I would have married him and probably wouldn’t have known to this day that he never loved me. Just thinking about it still gives me goosebumps.It was Jacob who made the mafia back away and not interfere with my life. I ended up marrying him, and it has been sort of a roller coaster ride ever since. Still not
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 227
Benjamin slept in Rebecca’s room last night, on the same bed. He slept very peacefully, but his snoring gave her quite some trouble. She was once again reminded of the days when he used to live in her room, but back then, there were at least two different beds, but now, he was sleeping right next to her.Even covering herself with a pillow didn’t help her much. After a lot of struggling, she got an idea and shoved some part of the bedsheet in Benjamin’s mouth. That did the trick, and then Rebecca was able to slip into sleep.Despite sleeping late, Rebecca woke up at around six. Perhaps, it was because she walked a lot the previous day, her legs felt somewhat sour, even after Benjamin massaged them. Her stomach also made noises, but after seeing Benjamin still sleeping, she was shocked.“Hey, get up!” she pushed him left and right without hesitation. “If you are here, who’s going to make the breakfast?”“The maids will take care of it,” he mumbled. “Don’t worry.”“Oh, so you told them
