Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 579
“Yes, this is Rebecca, but who are you?” Rebecca asked back on the mobile.“I’m Jim. You don’t remember me?” Jim’s voice sounded deflated very quickly.“Ah, wait…” Rebecca paused for a moment. “You’re the guy from the restaurant, right?”“Yeah, so you do remember me,” Jim laughed a little. “I’m relieved now.”“How did you get my number?” Rebecca asked straightforwardly.“U-Uh, um…” Jim kept stuttering like a child. “T-That’s… actually… My dad helped me with that. I don’t exactly know how he got the number. He just told me he has connections. And… I hope you’re not upset by this.”“Well… there’s nothing wrong with getting my number through effort,” Rebecca said. “But I can’t really appreciate it, either, because I think I already refused to give you my number?”“Y-Yeah, but it’s been a few days, and I thought maybe you might have changed your mind?” Jim hesitantly said.“Did I look that unstable to you?”“No, no, that’s not what I meant,” Jim quickly said. “T-To be honest, I didn’t wan
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 580
Over a year ago.Selena worked out for twenty minutes on spin-bike and covered exactly ten kilometers while watching a program on mobile. She was just starting to sweat, but then she received a text message from her mobile.It was a message from her eldest daughter.“Come downstairs? What does she mean? Did she get a promotion or something? And where was she last night? She did say she might stay at Jane’s house, but she didn’t stay at her friend’s house in a long time.”She got down from the bike and after she read the message. She cleaned herself with a towel before coming down the stairs. It wasn’t just her but Jacob was also out of his room at the same time wearing a colorful night dress and eating peppermint to mask off the smell of alcohol.Devon, the old butler,was already in the hall, standing next to his wife Sheron. They had already prepared breakfast.But what caught Selena’s eyes wasn’t the food on the table, but the ones standing on the other side of the table. Rebecca w

“He can live here,” Jacob said, and it wasn’t an easy thing to say, even though Jacob’s love had been partial toward his sons more than his daughters.“Thank you,” Rebecca said and then took Benjamin upstairs in a rush.“S-She’s really taking that man to her room,” Selena’s heart raced for many reasons. “Jacob, why the hell are you just watching? That man must have tricked his daughter. Beat him and kick him out.”“He didn’t hold her hand, Selena,” Jacob replied. “She held his hand. As long as she holds his hand, I cannot hit him.”Selena looked baffled. “So you are not going to do anything?”“I’m just as shocked as you are,” Jacob said. “I just don’t show it on my face like you, that’s all. At any rate, our daughter has finally brought a man to our house. If she really likes him, then what’s the issue?”“What’s the issue? He’s a freaking pizza-delivery guy! He smells like dough and tomatoes!” Selena hissed. Rebecca never brought a man home in the past. Selena knew that her daughter h

On the same night after Rebecca brought Benjamin home.Everyone in the house was talking about Rebecca and Benjamin. None of them could see Benjamin because he hadn't left her room since three o’clock in the afternoon.“Why aren’t they coming out?” Roshan asked. “What are they doing in the room for so long? Aren’t they hungry?”“Just eat,” Lisa slapped on the back of Roshan’s head lightly. Being only 13 years old, he was still oblivious to the affairs of the adults, so Lisa could only tell him to stop worrying and questioning.“But I want to see the man that Aunt Rebecca married,” Roshan said. He came home from school in the evening, and had been wanting to see Benjamin ever since. “She refused to even see the pictures of guys that Mom and Dad tried to show to her, didn’t she? So, what kind of a man did she bring home after marrying?”“He’s a pizza-delivery guy, it seems,” Lisa said.“Huh? You really believe that?” Roshan shook his head. “Aunt Rebecca’s standards aren’t that low.”“Ye

Benjamin’s second day in the Sterling villa.He woke up late because he found it difficult to sleep in that house last night, and he ended up sleeping late in the morning.By the time he woke up, Rebecca wasn’t in the room. He was feeling hungry, so he just rinsed his mouth with coconut oil and then stepped out of the room. “I got a three-day leave, but I thought I was going to be with her. Still, getting to know her family is also important. Mm?”He looked down and saw a woman downstairs, wearing a sparkling dress and talking in a posh manner. “Cheating is a breach of the most important commitment you make in life. There are no excuses for cheating. Those who cheat don’t deserve sympathy let alone a second chance,” she was talking loudly with her friend through her mobile. “The world is full of liars, bullies, fruitcakes and cheats because there are no severe consequences. I’m not telling you to shoot him in the head, or marry him and then mess up his life. Instead, just end the curr

“I don’t know anything about womenomics,” Benjamin said. “I don’t even know about economics. You can’t even buy much food in the shop for you and your family with the money you earn after working for a day. So, something is seriously wrong with our economy and those that dictate it. On the contrary, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your sis. She’s not unmoving like you said. She’s a bit indifferent at times, but she talks and acts just fine with me.”“She does?” Veronica looked a little surprised. “I guess, you’re just her type then? You know, like the guy of her dreams…”Benjamin smiled. “I hope so. By the way, I’m Benjamin. You are…”“Veronica.”“It’s nice to meet you, my sister-in-law…” Benjamin said. “What do you do, Miss?”“Ugh,” Veronica’s expression quickly changed.“Is something wrong?” Benjamin asked.“No, but I’m still a child you know,” Veronica said. “I don’t want to do a job. Adulting is so hard. Like you said, you don’t earn enough even if you work hard these da

Selena did not continue talking with Benjamin and instead went outside.Dorothy was also present at the time, and she was happy on the inside to see Selena so angry. It amused her.She waited until Benjamin finished eating food, and then she told him to take the wheelie bin in the backyard to the outside so that the garbage collectors could unload the trash when they came.Benjamin went to the backyard, where he saw Oliver Claude, another butler who was chopping live lamb right now.Seeing Benjamin, he snorted, “What? You think you can chop the lamb like I can?”“I didn’t say anything,” Benjamin replied.“Yeah, but the look on your face…” Oliver pointed the knife at him and bit on his lower lip. “I don’t like it. What are you here for anyway? Did you steal something and are trying to run away now?” He brought the knife down hard and struck the lamb’s leg. And the piece flew away into the distance.Benjamin took a step to the side and caught it, pleasantly surprising Oliver. He tossed

Benjamin entered the villa, and Veronica was waiting for him at the back door.“Can you help me with one thing?” she asked.“Sure,” Benjamin said.“I want you to act like you’re the new butler in the villa,” Veronica said. “I will record you working and post it to my friends.”“And why do you want me to do that?” Benjamin couldn’t help but ask. “Aren’t there other butlers?”“Yeah, but they don’t look all cute and handsome like you,” she said. “So, do this for me, and I’ll pay you.”“Pay me?”“Yeah, I will.”“I don’t need money.”“Then you will work for free?!” she excitedly asked.“You shouldn’t fool your friends, so don’t do this,” saying that, he walked past her.Veronica was offended by that. “It’s only acting. Why are you making a big deal out of it?”“Acting or not, lying is not good,” Benjamin replied.“I’ll pay you more.”“No.”“Then what do you want?” Veronica raised her voice.Benjamin stopped and turned around. “You’re my sister-in-law. I’m your brother-in-law. Just tell you
