Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 592
“Do what you want. If you die, it’s not on me,” Oliver said. “There are cameras, so I can prove my innocence if the blame is shifted onto me.” He then went to the dorms.Benjamin walked away from the cage and sat down on the grass at a distance. The dogs were still growling and barking at him.A few minutes passed, but the dogs still didn’t settle down on their bellies.“A doberman, a pitbull, and two german shepherds,” Benjamin began to cut the grass with his fingers. “It just happened to be a full moon tonight. Is that why you four look so aggressive right now? But the moon isn’t even here yet, so I take it you don’t like me.”He stopped cutting the grass.“So far apart we are, yet so close we get when my eyes close,” he shut his eyes and smiled. “Let us be sweet to each other, my love.”He then opened his eyes and blew air on the grass, making the cut grass fly away. And before him was now Rebecca’s picture on the grass.“Sweet is he who takes your heat but still looks neat, and gi

“We don’t just barely know each other,” Benjamin corrected her and stepped closer. “We have become ONE just two nights back. I can feel your heartbeat from the garden. Can’t you feel my heart from here?” he asked her, staring deep into her eyes. Rebecca found herself staring into his beautiful, blue eyes. “What are you…” “You are my love, and you are my dove,” Benjamin raised his hands and gently touched her cheeks. It was such a gentle touch that she felt like she was melting ever so graciously. “Who gave you the permission to touch me?” she grabbed his wrists and pushed his hands away. “Keep your hands to yourself.” “If I do nothing, then how can we fly high and feel true love, my dove?” Benjamin asked. “What do you know about true love?” Rebecca blurted. “For someone who took advantage of me because I was drunk…” “We drank together, remember?” “No, I don’t remember what happened after some point,” Rebecca hissed. “But you are not eligible to talk about love, or anything like

The next morning.Benjamin woke up to find himself sleeping under a tree. One of the dogs, a german shepherd, was sleeping next to him.He was feeling good even though he didn’t sleep for more than six hours.However, he had no idea at that time that this day would be when he would experience immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, and humiliation.“Mm?” Benjamin looked to his left and saw Vlad and Mercie in the distance, catching bugs and eating them alive. “These guys…” His expression changed. “The little reptiles in their bodies must be urging them to eat insects. If they keep doing that, they will grow to be worse faster. How could their parents curse them with such a life?” He felt angry toward Bella and Louis. “Sickening. Truly sickening.”As much as he wanted to teach them a lesson, he could only swallow his emotions right now.He then got up and walked toward the building.The dog woke up and brought the tennis ball to him with its mouth and dropped it before him when he wa

Benjamin came to Rebecca’s room. The door was open because she was in the gym.He entered the room. Her dress and towel were on the bed. The green dress caught his eyes. He touched it, and it was very soft and smooth.“What are you doing?” a voice reached his ears, skipping his heart for a second.Benjamin dropped the dress and turned back, only to see Rebecca who was wearing a baggy shirt and track pants. “I-I was checking this dress. It has a nice gradient of green to it. It reminds me of aloe vera plant.”“So you have eyes, huh,” Rebecca picked up the dress. “I did indeed design this after the aloe vera plant. It’s lighter at the top and darker as you go near the bottom. I could add more colors to make this stand out, but I don’t like wearing overly flamboyant designs. Too many colors on my clothes make me feel like I’m some rainbow asking for attention.”Benjamin smiled but said nothing.She felt a little awkward because he said nothing after she had spoken many words. “Anyway, yo

After Rebecca came out of the bathroom, she saw that Benjamin was sitting on the couch, seemingly meditating with his eyes closed.When Rebecca wasn’t looking, he opened one eye and looked at her, as if waiting to see her reaction. (Didn’t she see anything in the bathroom? Why isn’t she saying anything? Don’t tell me… she saw nothing?!)“Mm?” Rebecca quickly turned her head to look at him, and his eyes were closed. “Are you really coming to the party with those jogger pants? Do you want everyone to laugh at us? Wear some jeans at the least.”“I don’t have anything else other than these,” Benjamin pitifully said.“You should have told me that sooner, and I would have taken you shopping.”Benjamin’s eyes lit up. “Can we go now? Shopping, I mean.” “We don’t have time for that,” she said. “Why don’t you go and ask my brothers for their clothes?”“They are taller and bigger than me,” he replied. “Their clothes don’t fit me well.”“I’m sure they have clothes from their younger days stored

Benjamin received three pairs of clothes, all of which were jeans pants and flamboyantly designed vintage shirts that were at least fifteen to twenty years old.Surprisingly, they didn’t smell bad at all. A little bit of cologne should do the trick, Benjamin thought.“Thank you,” Benjamin told Shawn and Elizabeth before leaving their room.“Why did you bring three pairs?” Elizabeth looked at Shawn. “He only asked for one.”“They are old clothes. What’s the big deal?”“Roshan might want to wear them later on,” she said.“I doubt he’s going to wear those baggy pants and those colorful shirts with big buttons,” Shawn said.“Still…”Benjamin came back to Rebecca’s room and was removing his shirt.“Whoa,” Rebecca quickly said. “Change inside the bathroom.”“Okay,” he quickly went in and came out within a minute, wearing a shirt that had a mix of dark blue and white, whereas the jeans pants was light blue like the summer sky. The combination looked really good, but Benjamin looked distinct

“Spray some pain-relieving gel on that spot,” Selena suggested to Rebecca.“I can massage your ankle, Dove,” Benjamin quickly said, leaving everyone speechless. “I’ll be really quick.”“No thanks,” Rebecca angrily smiled at him.She had the aura of a tigress in her house, but because of Benjamin, she was feeling embarrassed in front of everyone.Soon, she got up and walked out for a breath of fresh air. Benjamin followed her. “You walk for at least five minutes after every meal, right?”“I try to,” Rebecca said. “Morning exercise is the most important for me, as it gets my metabolism going. That’s the key to good health and obviously to stay in good shape and look young. Of course, you need to watch your diet and eat moderately.”“I didn’t ask you all this.”“But that’s where you are going to go soon, right?” she glanced at him, but he slowly shook his head.“Not really. I was thinking about asking if you like my perfume,” Benjamin said.“It’s not good,” Rebecca said without even snif

A large cabin private jet was flying through the sky at about 7000 ft high.The Sterling family members were inside the jet.Everyone was busy doing something, except for Benjamin and Rebecca. She was staring out through the glass window.Benjamin was sitting in front of her, staring at her instead. She acted like she didn’t care, but Benjamin just wouldn’t look away.“How long are you going to keep staring at me?” she asked. “Do I have something on my face?”Benjamin softly shook his head. “Everyone is busy with their own things. I have nothing else to do, so I’m just trying to start a conversation with you.”“I thought you’d be excited by the flight journey, but it looks like you’ve traveled on fights before?” she wondered.“No, this is my first time,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s better than I thought.”“Better than you thought?” Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “Downplaying your own experience for no good reason will not make you look humble. It will only make you look arrogant.”“I wa
