Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 678
The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Lisa’s face up close, and it almost brought her a heart attack because she was wearing a halloween mask. “AHH!” she screamed.“Haha, it’s me, Aunt!” Lisa removed the mask and giggled.“Lisa!” Rebecca caught her eyes. “Are you trying to stop my heart from beating with your stupid ideas?”“Aunt, it’s my birthday today!” Lisa quickly said.Rebecca then had to let go of her ear. “So what? Just because it’s your birthday, it doesn’t give you the right to do stupid things. Don’t ever do something like this again. What if I end up hitting you out of reflex? You’d lose a few teeth!”“My teeth are strong!” Lisa said. “But if my teeth do break, then I’ll insert some gold teeth like grandma.”Rebecca shook her head first, and then she shook Lisa’s hand. “Have a great day.”“Huh? That’s it? Aren’t you going to wish me properly?” Lisa asked. “I came running straight to your room after waking up, you know. I didn’t even go to my mom and dad. “That’s b

Benjamin came rushing out of the villa as Rebecca was waiting for him by her car.“What took you so long?” she asked.“Can you smell it?” he asked.“Smell what?”“Love,” he said. Seeing her expression warp, he chuckled and said, “The perfume, I mean. You said you aren’t going to use it, so I did. You don’t feel bad about this, right?”“Why would I?” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Get inside. The sun is burning me.”“Morning sun is good for health, Love,” he said, getting in the car. “It helps reset the circadian rhythm and makes you sleep better at night. I didn't sleep last night, so I feel all dizzy and crazy right now.”“Is that why you’re talking so fast right now?”“Yeah, you can say that. By the way, Lisa said she and her family are going to the beach tomorrow. Why don’t we also go with them and have fun?” Benjamin suggested. “If you’re worried about the sun, then we can take an umbrella, or I will apply oil all over your body.”“Hmph,” she said indifferently, “If you want, you can g

Later that day.The party has already started at the Sterling villa. Selena did not let a single reporter inside, and the security worked well. They kept all the unnecessary people out, and only those with invitation cards were allowed inside. Even then, a double-check was performed by Jacob and Selena as they didn’t want troublesome people to come and ruin the party.At some point, Benjamin arrived there in a taxi.The security guards recognized him, but Selena had specifically told them to keep Benjamin outside and make him wait.When Benjamin tried to enter, the guards stopped him. These security guards worked for Selena, and they knew about him, so why were they acting like this?“What’s the meaning of this?” Benjamin asked them.“We are told to only let those with invitation cards inside,” one of the guards said. “Do you have an invitation card?”“Yeah,” Benjamin replied.“You do? I don’t think so. Show it, or I will not believe it,” the guard asked, standing firmly like he was t

“You work in this house, but that doesn’t mean you can just bring gifts and think we’ll accept them,” Selena blurted. “Take that pizza. Go somewhere else and eat it.”Some people laughed after hearing her words.“Don’t mind him, guys,” Elizabeth added. “He’s the type who takes his girlfriend to a fast food restaurant on their first date. He’s not that bright in the head.”Her words made the people laugh some more.There were at least fifty people watching, and Benjamin walked over to Rebecca and picked up the bag and opened the box right before her.Inside, there was a beautiful pizza with Lisa’s name and age written on it. It looked like so much effort went into making that pizza.“Want a slice?” Benjamin tried to give her the knife.“No, I don’t like fast food,” Rebecca said. “You can take it away.”Benjamin then walked away and went to the balcony upstairs, where he began to eat the pizza on his own.At the same time, he could hear the people talking downstairs, giving all kinds of

After the party finished, Lisa was excitedly unpacking all the gift boxes. Some just had greeting cards in them, and some had pens, keychains, beauty kits, purses and so on.And then in one box, Lisa received a dildo, which shocked her and Elizabeth who was also there watching.Elizabeth grabbed it, wrapped it in a bag and put it out of her daughter’s sight first. “Who gave this pink box to you?”“I-I don’t remember it, Mom,” Lisa shrugged her shoulders.“We have a video recording, don’t we? Let’s watch that and find out which bastard is behind this!” Elizabeth’s blood boiled.She quickly checked the video recording on the television in her room, with Lisa watching. And then, to their utter puzzlement, none of the guests gave a pink colored gift box to her.“If the guests didn’t give it, then who did?” Elizabeth wondered. “Did someone sneak this box into the gift boxes after the recording stopped? But who’d do that?”Lisa got a sudden thought. “What if it’s Benjamin?”Elizabeth frowne

Later that night.Benjamin was on the couch, looking at Rebecca doing her work. She realized what he was doing, but ignored him.“Is there any chance that we are going to live in a separate house?” Benjamin asked.Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “Where did such a question come from?”“Your family members don’t seem to like me,” Benjamin calmly explained it to her. “You do know that, right? They make it so obvious. So, I think it’s better if we live in a different house. I think after some time, they will accept me. Even if they don’t, it’s fine. But if we keep living here, I think it’ll cause further problems.”“What kind of problems?” she asked.“You can see that they’re insulting me, can’t you?” Benjamin softly. “Your mom, your sister-in-law and her mother and daughter… They all are on one side. They don’t like me, and I don’t understand what exactly goes on in their minds.”“Are you angry because they didn’t take your pizza?” she asked, looking at him without blinking.“No. It was th

The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Selena sitting on the edge of her bed. “What brought you here so early, Mom?” she asked in a voice.“Nothing. I just wanted to see your face,” Selena could see that only part of the bed had folds, which made her wonder if Benjamin was sleeping on the couch. To support her theory, Benjamin’s bag was still next to the couch.Rebecca slowly sat up.“Is this enough for the two of you?” Selena asked. “If you want, you can move to a bigger room. We can remodel one of the guest rooms, and…”“It’s okay, Mom. We’re fine with this room,” she said.Selena noticed something in Rebecca’s head. “Wait, is this gray hair?” she quickly leaned closer and observed it. “I-It really is a gray hair, Rebecca.”“Yeah,” Rebecca said, not at all surprised as she had noticed it already. “It’s just one hair.”“No, you shouldn’t neglect it,” Selena quickly said. “I didn’t get gray hair until I turned forty five. I was stressed a lot, too, you know. But I do exercises

At the dining table in the morning.Everyone was very surprised by how good the items tasted. With Sheron gone, Benjamin took it upon himself to cook everything. Though his dishes weren’t as eye-pleasing as Sheron’s, they were so much tastier. Even the eggs were boiled perfectly, in that they were still soft after boiling.Selena didn’t want to admit it, but this was better than what she ate in the five-star hotels.She wanted to keep eating, but she had to control herself.“Did you cook everything, Uncle?” Lisa asked Benjamin.“Yeah, is it good?” he asked.“It is decent,” Lisa said, but she couldn’t help but think back about the pizza that he had tried to offer last evening. Benjamin had told her that he put a lot of effort into making it, so she wished that she hadn’t rejected it. After all, she was a foodie. “If you want, you can bring me a pizza this evening.”Benjamin was pleasantly surprised to hear that. “I will definitely bring one for you,” he said, even though a special pizz
