Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 659
Rebecca and Benjamin reached the villa. She stopped the car but didn’t open the door.“Is everything okay?” he asked.“Ah, yeah,” she hesitantly said. “I’m just wondering about the pizzas from Rye’s Pizzas. They smell good, but I’m sure the tomatoes and other ingredients that are added in there are brought up using pesticides, right?”“Actually, no,” Benjamin quickly said. “The founder of the company has made it a strict policy that only fresh, organic items need to be bought. So, all the grains, vegetables, and fruits were bought directly from the farmers. That’s why I think this company can’t become a bigger one because it’s very hard to supply to a larger scale of customers with the amount of organic food stock they can acquire from the farmers. Quality will have to be compromised if it wants to supply pizzas, let’s say, country-wide or even state-wide.”“I see…” Rebecca nodded.“Why are you asking that? Do you want to taste the pizza once?”“N-Not really,” Rebecca hesitantly said.

Rebecca was very frank about punishing Benjamin and also punishing herself at the same time for what happened on that night.However, was she also punishing her own family members by bringing Benjamin into the villa?Was that why she never directly supported Benjamin so far?What was her past?What happened for her to be thinking in this manner?All these thoughts ran through Benjamin’s mind. While he did have the ability to read thoughts to an extent, he did not want to try that on his own family members.“Anyway, if you want me to become a CEO, I’ll become one for you, Rebecca,” Benjamin said. “But if you want me to do it for my in-laws? I’m not so sure about that because the one I’m supposed to share my life and my body with is with you, not with your family. I’m trying to lower their importance, but you are far more important to me than them. I hope you understand my point.”“So you’ll start a company if I want you to?” Rebecca asked.“Why not?” Benjamin said casually. “If I own t

Benjamin rushed over to the dog cages, making Rebecca wonder what he was up to. She normally stayed far away from the dog cases because she didn’t like the smell of the dogs or the cages, but she realized that something was wrong. So, she came a little closer to observe what was going on.All the dogs were bleeding from their mouths and noses. One of the dogs had its eyes completely turn red as if something badly hurt her.“W-What happened to those dogs?” Rebecca asked. “Did they fight each other?”“No,” Benjamin’s voice was serious. “Glass pieces got into their skin and mouth.”“Huh? Why would they mess with glass?” she wondered.“They wouldn’t,” Benjamin looked around and eventually found the bucket. He saw that glass was mixed with the meat chunks. “Someone mixed glass pieces with meat before feeding it to the dogs.”Rebecca was utterly shocked. “No way. Who would do such a thing?”Benjamin looked at the dogs, but they didn’t seem to know the answer. “Oliver feeds them, so we shoul

Benjamin washed the dishes, then the clothes, and then he polished the shoes before finally coming to Rebecca’s room. It was nine at the time.The others had dinner, but he didn’t.“Why didn’t you eat dinner?” he asked her.“Didn’t feel like it,” she said while drawing dancing dinosaur designs.“They look cute, though they’re not real,” Benjamin said.“Dinosaurs are real,” she replied. “The scientists found bones of these beasts in many parts of the world.”“Well, those were the bones of the giants and dragons and other beasts, but not the dinosaurs which are nothing but fiction,” Benjamin said.“Fictional, you say…” Rebecca scrutinized his eyes. “Why do you sound so sure?”“Because I’m speaking the truth.”“Huh, you can’t give a better answer than that, can you?”“Not right now, but one day, I will show you the truth,” he replied. “Hopefully.” As he observed her drawings, he understood that she was mixing three concepts. “So you are working on dinosaurs, outerspace, and the mafia.”

The next morning.Rebecca woke up and got off the bed.Benjamin entered the room with a glass of hot almond milk as if he knew the exact time she would wake up. This annoyed her, and she said, “I don’t want it. Take away.”“What? But said you loved it,” he said.“I never said that,” Rebecca really never said that before. She said it was good, but she didn’t remember saying something like ‘I loved it.’“But you drank without complaint,” Benjamin retorted. “I thought you loved it.”“Don’t make me repeat myself,” she indifferently said. “I’m not drinking that. You can pour that in the sink or toilet if you want.”“Why would I do that?” Benjamin sipped on the milk, and the sound he made while at it annoyed her even more.“Don’t make noise while drinking!” she raised her voice. “It’s disgusting.”Benjamin then silently drank. However, he made a joyful expression with his eyes closed as if he was loving the milk.“Ugh,” Rebecca quickly went into the washroom, not wanting to see his antics a

Everyone was having breakfast.Benjamin was eating faster than everyone because he hadn’t eaten anything in almost two days. Even though he was not a fan of his own cooking, right now, anything would do.Nobody even wanted to bother him because he seemed immersed in eating. At least, he didn’t make much sounds, so they didn’t complain.Eventually, Benjamin was the first to finish eating. He quickly took his plate to the kitchen, washed it, and then returned to his seat so that he could sit next to Rebecca and look at her.Rebecca was acting like she was not noticing, but she was obviously not liking what he was doing. She glanced at him and said, “What are you looking at?”“A living treasure,” he replied.“Cringe,” Veronica said aloud.“Wait a second,” Benjamin pulled dollar bills and coins out of pocket. “Sister-in-law, I have about a hundred dollars here. How much do you need to buy a pair of pants?”“Huh? What are you talking about?”“I mean, you are wearing scanty clothes because

Rebecca stopped the car at a junction.A couple of school girls quickly came to the car and knocked on the door.Rebecca slightly lowered the window.“Please drop us at our school, sister. We have exams today,” one of them said.“Did you miss the school bus?” Rebecca asked.They both nodded quickly.“Couldn’t you take a taxi then?” she asked.“They ask for a lot of money. We don’t have that much money,” they said.Rebecca smiled and said, “Alright, get in.”She opened the doors. The elder sister sat in the front. The smaller one sat in the back.The elder sister kept talking about how difficult her school life was. Every time they’d miss the bus, they would be afraid to go back home as their parents would yell at them.The smaller sister, on the other hand, was looking at Benjamin like she couldn’t take her eyes off him. She was smiling, making him wonder what she was thinking.“You are so beautiful,” the little girl said smiling brightly.Benjamin’s heart melted for a second. “Oh, th

Benjamin delivered twenty pizzas and received a hundred dollar tip, which made him a little happy.“What should I buy with this money?” he wondered. “How about I save some money and then take her to a restaurant? But I don’t know how much she spends per sitting, so how much should I save? A thousand? Two thousand?”If Rebecca spent thousands of dollars on her shoes and tens of thousands on her goggles, then how much would she spend at a restaurant?After some thinking, he thought, “How about I take her to a simple restaurant? Even if she eats a lot, it won’t cost more than a hundred dollars.”A few seconds passed as he drove down the street.“But will she come to a small restaurant? She did come to Pure Waters which isn’t quite a luxury place. So, I can’t take anything for granted.”Soon, he reached the pizza hut and was in a good mood. But he was still careful in that he didn’t want to tell anybody how much he received through the tip as the manager Christopher would get very jealous
