Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 622
As Rebecca was driving in the car, Benjamin was looking out through the window and observing the reality of the world. He could see all colors of life from lovers holding their hands to beggars sleeping on the footpaths.Some were living in happiness, but some were breathing in pain.Some were living in the box, and some were living outside.Some people were overexerting themselves and invited pain into their bodies, whereas some couldn’t work properly because of the pain already playing with their minds and bodies.Watching this wasn’t pleasant to his eyes. If watching life in motion itself was painful, then how much more painful should life itself be?And Benjamin believed that love was the only medicine for the type of pain he was having right now.Why was he feeling the pain?There wasn’t any ground-breaking reason, except that Rebecca didn’t let him sit beside her. He felt like he was being treated like a distant person to her, which was something very hard to digest. It would ha

Did Benjamin just break the coconut by bashing it against his knuckles?The crowd went speechless because what he just did was totally beyond their expectations. Even the event manager took ten seconds to recover and then said, “Y-You broke it. Congratulations.”“What?” some of the crowd immediately raised their voices. “How can he break it so easily? It must have been a defective piece!”“Yeah! Are you trying to fool us?”“He must be your set-up, right?”“You planned all this so that you didn’t have to give any of us the gift you prepared!”“What a scam!”As the people ran their mouths, the event manager quickly said, “I don’t know these two. It’s my first time seeing them.” He looked at Benjamin. “Sorry, Mister, but can you break another coconut and show them that you didn’t do it by luck?”“No problem,” Benjamin said and walked to the heap of coconuts put on the stage. He picked one into each of his hands and smashed them together, breaking them in one attempt. The sound it made as

“That was a good movie, wasn’t it?” Benjamin was excitedly talking with Rebecca as they were leaving the theater.“The twist in the end was good. I didn’t think that the protagonist’s brother was the real enemy,” Rebecca said. “He was always accusing others of what he himself was actually doing all the time. He deserved to go to prison for the rest of his life.”“I agree,” Benjamin nodded. “Shall we go to a restaurant? I’ll pay the bill.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows as she looked at him. “You want to pay for me? That’s not happening.”“What’s the big deal?”“I don’t let anyone pay for me,” she retorted. “There’s no need to discuss it anymore.”“Then, why did you let me buy the movie tickets with my money?” Benjamin asked.“It’s just a few bucks. That doesn’t even cover the gasoline that brought us to the theater,” she said, “but you’re right. I’ll give you that money back after we go home. Don’t forget to remind me.”“You don’t have to pay me for the tickets.”“No, I will.”They went

The next morning.Benjamin didn’t sleep as he had to train the dogs until dawn. And then he entered the building to see how the butlers and maids were doing their work. Because he was watching them, they were naturally being more careful with their work. His silence only made them feel a little tense.Benjamin, however, didn’t comment and just watched until breakfast when everyone quickly sat down at the table. He was the only one standing, but he was still smiling as he served them food.No one said anything, even though they were a bit surprised to see him actively serving food.Was he trying to get on their good side by doing this? Whatever his reason was, some didn’t appreciate what he was doing.Lisa was eating while texting on her mobile. Elizabeth told her to put the mobile down, but Lisa brushed her mother’s words off and continued to chat with her friends and was smiling and giggling at times.As Benjamin was serving extra food to Lisa, he looked at her school uniform and sai

It wasn’t until after Rebecca took Benjamin in her car that Selena believed what Benjamin had said was true.“Unbelievable…” Selena could only frown as her daughter’s car left. “I must do something before her love deepens for him.” She shook her head. “I cannot have a pizza-delivery guy as a son-in-law no matter how good looking he is.”Meanwhile, Benjamin looked happy as a monkey with bananas as Rebecca was driving the car. He was still in the back seat, but he didn’t complain or feel bad about it.“You’re really taking me along,” he said.“Why wouldn’t I?” she replied. “I always keep my word.”“Mm. Mm.” Benjamin nodded twice. “I’m proud of you.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows as if what he said sounded like a little bit of a joke to her. How can someone in a lower position be proud of someone in a higher position when both are not really bonded yet?“I’m thankful for this,” Benjamin added. “In return, I will take you to the north pole and all the hidden islands down the south.”“You me

When the red Porsche stopped at Rye’s Pizzas, the delivery guys that were outside naturally looked at the beautiful car.But then Benjamin stepped out of the car, leaving them slack-jawed.On top of that, Benjamin waved his hand as a sign of goodbye, which Rebecca didn’t like because he was acting like her equal.Still, not wanting to make a scene in front of others, she quietly drove away.“Brother Benzie, who's that chick?”“How the hell did you manage to get such a rich lady to fall for you?”Benjamin just laughed at their words and said, “She’s my boss.”“Your boss?” They looked at each other. We didn’t get you.”“I work in her house, so she escorted me to work,” Benjamin replied.“A boss is dropping her employee at work?” They looked shocked and doubtful. “You expect us to believe that?”“She’s just that good of a person,” Benjamin reasoned with them.“Or, both of you must be doing it in secret,” some people teased Benjamin.“You’re all thinking too much,” Benjamin said and then

The door opened.Two blue-haired men, who were both 190 cm tall, stood before Benjamin. Both of them had dog tags which the military guys would use. “Why do you press the button so many times and annoy a busy couple?”“You two are a couple?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows. “Who are you kidding?”“You don’t believe us?” Both of them quickly kissed each other, which made Benjamin look away. “Why are you disrespecting us? Don’t we look like a cute couple to you?”Benjamin raised the packages in his hands. “I’m here to deliver these.”“But we didn’t order any pizzas,” they said simultaneously.“I’m sure the delivery is to room number A-113,” Benjamin said, showing them the number on their door as well as the number on his phone.“I think you got the address wrong. Two rooms away, they are having a party, so you should go to A-111 instead,” they said.“Give me a second,” Benjamin then called Christopher and told him the issue.“You can’t even deliver properly for once?” Christopher sounded a

The man in the purple suit quickly took his gun out and shot at Benjamin.Benjamin rushed forward, dodged the bullet and caught the gun and disarmed the man in the suit.Benjamin now held the gun.“W-Wait,” the man in the suit quickly raised his arms, and everyone else in the room also looked very tense right now because they had no idea who Benjamin might shoot at. So, none of them moved. “Do you know who I am? I’m Lilian Lux, the son of Nelson Lux. My dad is a senate member, and he owns multiple conglomerates. If you touch even a strand of my hair, you’re basically dead.”“So if I’m going to die anyway, then why should I let you live?” Benjamin asked, pointing the gun at Lilian.“W-Wait, I’ll give you money,” Lilian put his hand in his pocket and took out his purse. “I’ll give you my credit card. You can use it as much as you want.” As he took his purse out, something else fell out of his pocket. It was a small packet full of white-blue pills.“Are those pills drugs?” Benjamin asked
