Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 705
Later that night.Benjamin came home late that night because had to take a bus, which didn’t come through the shortcut that Rebecca would use.When he entered the building, he was expecting Selena to be waiting for him at the couch, but she wasn’t there.Benjamin was quickly hurrying upstairs, but Kathy came over to him and said, “Madam Selena told me to collect money from you.”“I don’t trust you,” Benjamin said and then completely ignored her and went to his room.Kathy’s jaw slackened. “How rude. For an unpaid maid, why does he have so much ego?”Meanwhile, Benjamin entered the room, and Rebecca seemed to be waiting for him. However, the look in her eyes wasn’t cool but cold.“You are going to be standing on the couch tonight,” she said.“If I’m standing, how can I sleep?”“You have no other choice,” Rebecca indifferently said, “if you want to keep living in this room together with me, then you have to do it.”“T-That’s not fair,” Benjamin said, but she didn’t seem to care about hi
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 706
At around 6:15 in the morning.Rebecca opened her eyes. She quickly looked to her left to see if Benjamin was still there. And he was still sleeping, with his head put on the pillow. But no part of his body crossed the line.Rebecca did not regret allowing him to sleep on the bed because he didn’t cause any trouble. However, as she looked at him sleeping so defenselessly, she found herself staring at his face, which looked very bright as the morning light hit his face.His bright pink lips made her heart beat a little faster. Those were like the lips of a child and were full of life.She kept staring at him, pulling her lower lip into her mouth. (Control yourself, Rebecca. He’s a man. How can I lose my control over him when he didn’t lose his control?) She clenched her fist and then somehow managed to get off the bed.She did not make any sounds as it might wake him up. She quietly opened the door and walked out.She could hear the discussion happening in the hall downstairs.“Just wh

“Get up, you trash!”Selena’s strikes were like massaging to Benjamin, and it made him mumble in his sleep as he felt good.“Krgh, this buffalo isn’t feeling a thing,” she changed the target and began to strike his head this time.And this forced Benjamin to wake up quickly.“Eh? Mother-in-law,” Benjamin was rather shocked to see Selena holding a pillow and standing next to the bed. “What are you doing here? Why is there a pillow in your hands? Did you come here to give us another pillow? I think we have enough.”“As if I’d ever do that!” she threw the pillow in his face. “Why didn’t you wake up until now?”Benjamin rubbed his eyes and said, “Rebecca and I talked a lot last night. I slept late, so that’s why I couldn’t wake up early.”Selena gritted her teeth. “What did you two talk about for that long?”“About love,” Benjamin replied.Selena’s face slightly flushed even though she still looked angry. “W-What?” She couldn’t ask for further details and just walked out without saying an
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 708
For the next few weeks, Benjamin had tried various methods to get closer to Rebecca. He would tell her how good she looks and how nice she smells, and how beautiful her smile was, but she would act indifferent to his advances. When he tried to hold her hand, she would pull her hand away and spare a cold gaze at him.And at the same time, Selena was always trying to separate them, hoping one of those two would give up on the other before Rebecca got pregnant.Benjamin had to pay his salary and the tip-income to Selena. Though he was a little frustrated about it, he was also glad that Rebecca did not demand him for things like food or clothes.Then again, should he be happy that she wasn’t relying on him for anything?It had been a few months since they got married.There was no kissing.There was no hugging.No touch.No intimacy.When Benjamin got a little excited one evening and hugged Rebecca when she came to pick him up from his job, she got angry and then told him to live in a se
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 709
Back to the present.At dawn, Rebecca was sitting on the balcony, staring toward the south.“Are you living away separately from me because things didn’t work out between us for so long, Benjamin?” she wondered, with teary eyes. “Or, are you still not able to come to me for some reason?”Selena came over to her. “Rebecca, I’ve got good news for you. The Myers family has agreed to you becoming their brand ambassador. They’re willing to pay you 2 million dollars a year. Here are the documents. You can read the terms yourselves.”Rebecca, however, didn’t show any interest toward reading those documents. “Mom, I’m thinking of living in a separate house?”Selena’s heart wavered, and her gut shook at once. “W-What are you talking about?”“I want to spend some time alone by myself,” Rebecca said.“Don’t be foolish, Rebecca. If you go out now, you think Andrew Sehla will just stay put?” Selena quickly said. “He will have you kidnapped and then harass our entire family. He will also torture yo

In Shawn’s room.Shawn looking at a nude video of Sofia Bacic. “How is this possible? In the video, she clearly has the vagina, but I surely saw something else when I pulled her pants down. What the hell is going on? Does this mean this video is fake? Is she a he or a she? What is fake? What is real?” He was so confused and also terrified at the same time.Suddenly, the door was knocked.Shawn immediately shut the laptop, and then Selena entered the room. If he was a second late, she would have seen something she would have regretted. “M-Mom, what brought you here so early in the morning?”Elizabeth was still sleeping on the bed.“I need to talk to you about something,” Selena said. “Outside.”“Give me a minute,” he told her.After Selena left, he deleted the browsing history and then went to meet his mother on the rooftop.It’s been so long since both of them were together on the rooftop. Perhaps, the last time was more than twenty years ago.Shawn understood that she wanted to talk
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 711
Rebecca was eating at the breakfast table. Elizabeth was also present there right now.“Shawn told me that you’re planning on leaving the house,” Elizabeth said. “Is that true?”“Yeah. With me gone, you will be happier, right?” Rebecca said.“Of course, not.”Rebecca sighed. “Let’s be honest. You’re one of those women who believe that your husband should spend every waking minute either working and earning money or doing things for you. You always go to parties, but I don’t remember you taking my brother to a party with you. You don’t even treat your own husband equally, so I never expected you to treat my husband with some respect. But, thinking back on all the times you woke him up because you didn’t like seeing him take a nap… You would always make him do something and wouldn’t let him do anything for himself. Thinking about it is boiling my blood now.”Elizbeth went silent because she could clearly see that Rebecca might be looking calm, but she was still in a pissed-off mood.“I

“Have you talked with the Sehla family?” Selena asked Shawn.“Yeah. Samuel said he’ll come,” Shawn replied while eating chips.“Good. By the way, Your dad told you to bring George, didn’t he?”Shawn’s shoulders jerked. “Ah, I couldn’t get him.”“Couldn’t get him? What’s that supposed to mean?”Shawn kept eating chips.“Stop eating those damn things!” Selena plucked the chips bag from him. “And tell me what exactly happened.”“You don’t wanna know it, Mom,” Shawn said. “That bastard is playing in the casino. And he has armed bodyguards now.” He made up some lies mixed with the truth. “I can’t forcefully bring him. That’s not possible.”“He has bodyguards?” Selena was surprised. “That fool? He’s the black sheep of our family, even worse than Benjamin. How come that useless bastard has bodyguards? Ah, that’s right. He won the lottery, didn’t he? Tsk, I guess even the pigs can get treated like kings if they own some money.”“Can I have my chips now?” Shawn asked.“Hmph,” Selena tossed the

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentless

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa

The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family.

CHAPTER 954
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa.
