Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 488
Rebecca was sitting on the balcony and was drinking raw milk. She saw an old lady beggar who had entered the villa as a customer and then asked Kathy to give him some fruits and vegetables, but Kathy coldly refused and told him to get the hell out, saying that she was working hard for every fruit and vegetable in the garden.Rebecca was watching the old beggar leave pitifully. “Give her a bag of fruits, Kathy,” she ordered from the balcony in a loud enough voice.Kathy didn’t like what she heard. “Young Mistress, she’s probably earned a lot from begging yesterday. She just came here to earn free breakfast. There’s no need to waste our goods on her.”“Look around you, Kathy,’ Rebecca said. “The garden is growing and growing every day. If not for Mr. Ryan’s advice, our garden wouldn’t have prospered like this. He gave us this garden for free, so why can’t you give at least a little bit of the produce to the needy? Don’t let great abundance become a great handicap for you.”(You’re not t

Rebecca and Veronica were sleeping in the same room that morning.“How did you even meet Benjamin? You said it happened at a bar, but you didn’t give me the details,” Veronica said. She was purposely asking about Benjamin so that her sister will think back on those times and move on. ‘I mean, you’re the type who says that even chatting for someone a bit long at work is unprofessional. And you’re definitely not the type to go to a bar, so it’s really surprising and puzzling that you met him at a bar.”“Well, something about him was different. I wasn’t expecting to meet anybody that night, to be honest, but then when I saw him, something changed. I won’t call it an instant connection, but he drew me in, and after we sat at the same table, he began to crack simple jokes, and he didn’t praise my beauty too much like most other men do,” Rebecca said, smiling. “But he did ask me if I was married and not if I had a boyfriend or not. It seemed like his intentions were pure and straightforward

Dahlia overcame her punishment successfully on the third day, but her gut and throat were on fire right now. She was now allowed to heal herself, but she didn’t. Because she was so angry at Shadow she didn’t want to heal her problems and then forget to punish him properly.After all, there was a rule in Sciocidad, to never go to sleep with the flames of anger burning in your heart. Anger between fellow clansmen at the least must be resolved on that day itself. This was why Dahlia was allowed to visit Shadow who was not quite giving his best to understand the book he was given.An elder tagged alongside her so she wouldn’t do anything foolish like fighting Shadow.Currently, Shadow was eating grapes while reading a book in the warm candlelight that gave off an earthy and sweet aroma like honey because the candle was made from beeswax.Seeing Dahlia’s reddened eyes as she entered the room, Shadow’s spine tingled more than a bit. He was eating grapes, but he stopped doing that now. He co

“Greens are bad for health?” a journalist was interviewing Selena in the garden of Sterling villa. “I think many people would disagree with you, ma’am.”“You didn’t get my words correctly,” Selena explained herself while touring the garden. “Just like how certain parts of the vegetables should be thrown away before cooking, there are also methods we need to follow to eat these greens to keep ourselves healthy. For instance, take these eggplants or these spinach leaves for example,” she showed those that were growing in the garden. “These things are high in oxalate content, so they are better eaten cooked than raw. You can make smoothies out of raw cilantro but not out of raw spinach because, like I said, you need to avoid eating high oxalate veggies raw, or you’ll get sore joints or kidney stones without even knowing why. If you really prefer to eat these acidic veggies raw, then you should consume calcium along with them, so that calcium binds with the acid and stops them from crysta

Selena’s interviews turned out to be a blessing for her fans, as they began to eat food that needs to be eaten either raw or cooked to get the most nutrients out of them.Many people began to drink raw milk from family farms and avoided pasteurized milk. Even the people that lived in rural regions who knew of Selena told that they began to wash their foods with baking soda before eating or cooking, thanks to her. They affirmed that Selena was correct about a lot of things such as picking the right mineral salt and avoiding processed oils, and that they would always cook their mushrooms to properly benefit from them. On top of that, they warned that if they ever saw Andrew, they would make him eat mushrooms raw and unwashed.Selena’s fame began to soar day by day and hour by hour, whereas Andrew Sehla was facing greater problems and issues from many directions.Normally, Andrew was very hard to reach for the reporters. He would have a thick layer of fog protecting him in the form of bo

Rebecca put on shoes and looked at the sticker she stuck to the mirror. The words ‘if you’re feeling depressed, then exercise,’ were written on that note. It was something she had taken from her mother’s health book many years ago.Rebecca had always kept herself in shape because of her healthy diet as well as exercising enough every week whenever she got time. Once she crossed twenty years of age, she stopped exercising too much to the point of putting her body under stress. For instance, she used to ride the spin-bike for ten to fifteen miles per day when she was a teenager. This would put a lot of stress on her knees, but as she entered her twenties, she cut that workout load so that she would never suffer from exertion. After all, she needed to focus on her designer’s career, so the last thing she wanted was to feel tired after cycling or jogging herself to the bone.However, after marriage, she stopped jogging or cycling altogether for more than one reason. Benjamin also had to d

“Money, jewelry, diamonds,” Ian uttered in an exaggerated tone. “Whatever you want… I’ll bring them to you. All you need to do is to make me feel good… just like how you bought a jacket and a pair of gloves to one of our classmates because she was low on money. That girl later went on to become the topper of our class and is now working as a top designer just like you. But I recently managed to get her into my bed. The only girl left in our class that I still haven’t tasted is you and you only, Rebecca Sterling. Don’t make a man wait for this long, or he’ll go crazy.”Ian’s words made her remember her classmate Debby. Back in college days, Debby was poor and she didn’t have the money to buy gloves much less a coat. Seeing her shivering in the cold one morning, Rebecca bought her gloves and a jacket. She never told anybody that, so how did Ian know about it? Did he really sleep with Debby? Rebecca didn’t like that. Even though she and Debby were more rivals than friends now, she didn’t

There was no one else in sight except for Rebecca on that road. Ian was grinning as the car accelerated and was about to hit Rebecca. But suddenly, something happened, and he couldn’t see Rebecca in front of the car anymore. He didn’t feel like he hit her, either.He stopped the car and looked back. She was nowhere to be seen. “What the hell?” He stepped out and looked under the car just to make sure she wasn’t there. He put his hands on his head, unable to process what just happened.In the alley nearby.Louis put Rebecca down. “That was really close. If I hadn’t stepped in, you would be dead by now.”Rebecca was in shock. She couldn’t believe that Ian tried to hit her with the car. She knew he was trash, but not to this extent.“You stay here. I’ll deal with that guy,” Louis said, bringing his claws out.Rebecca grabbed his hand. “He’s drunk. That’s why he…”Louis coldly glanced at her. “You really think that’s the case? To my eyes, he’s pretty sane, Rebecca.” He shook his hand out
