Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 783
Benjamin was driving home.Lisa once again asked him to stop at a clothing store. Benjamin didn’t have a good feeling about this.So, he looked over his shoulder and asked her, “Do you have money for buying the clothes and other accessories?”“U-Um, no, but…” Lisa looked at him as if asking him to pay for her.Before Benjamin could say anything, Roshan said, “You can’t expect him to pay for your clothes, sis.”“I-I’m still a student,” Lisa quickly said. “When I get a job, I’ll be able to pay.”“You should just marry so that your husband will pay for you,” Roshan said. “If he doesn’t, you can just divorce him and take fifty percent of his property. Then you can buy a lot of things.”Lisa kept looking at Benjamin. “Please… Just this once.”“No,” Benjamin didn’t even hesitate to reply.Roshan snickered.Lisa got angry and slapped her brother on the shoulder. “You shut up.”“You’re getting angry because I told the truth,” Roshan laughed some more.“Truth? What truth?”“That you need to ha

“I shouldn’t have said yes,” Rebecca was still shaking her head. “If the kids ask me to pay for their clothes, what am I going to tell them?”After some thinking, she left her purse in the car.“If they ask me, I’ll tell them I forgot the purse,” Rebecca thought and then entered the store with the intention of not buying anything from the store. After all, if she were to buy anything, who’s going to pay for that? There was no way she could ask or even expect Benjamin and Rye to pay for her clothes. At the same time, she couldn’t expect them to pay for Lisa and Roshan’s clothes, either.She was looking for a moment where she could talk with Lisa and Roshan in private, but they kept roaming around and didn’t make it any easier for her to talk with them. She wanted to tell them to not buy anything because she didn’t bring her wallet. She believed that they would understand her.She eventually managed to talk to Lisa alone and told her the issue.However, Lisa said, “It’s okay, Aunt. Mr.

Lisa acted like nothing happened, and she picked six pairs of clothes of different styles.Roshan, however, picked just one pair of clothes.Rye, on the other hand, also picked a black dress and asked Benjamin if he would like to see her in this dress.He told her, “You’d look good in any dress.”Rye laughed a little.Benjamin then went over to where Rebecca was. “Why aren’t you choosing any dress?”“It’s fine. I have lots of dresses in my room,” she told him. “So, I don’t need a new pair.”“Still, I’m buying for everyone, so I’d be happy if you also choose whatever clothes you like,” Benjamin said and walked away.And then, Rebecca chose the cheapest red dress which cost 49 dollars.Soon, everyone reached the counter. Benjamin was the last person to get there. He had picked a gray suit.The worker calculated the bill. Lisa’s clothes amounted to 1232 dollars. Roshan’s clothes were worth 140 dollars. Rebecca’s clothes were worth 49 dollars. Rye’s three pairs of clothes were worth 758 d

Roshan and Lisa ordered the same ice cream: Tower Delight.Rye ordered Frozen Heart and then looked at Benjamin. He said he’ll take the same thing, which made her smile.Rebecca ordered Triple Scoop Cake.After the waiter noted the orders and left, Benjamin looked at Roshan and asked, “So, was that the girl you were talking about?”“Y-Yeah,” Roshan’s heart skipped a beat because he didn’t want to talk in front of his aunt.Rebecca was already giving him an icy glance. “A fourteen year old shouldn’t be dating,” Rebecca spoke bluntly. “So,wait until at least you turn 21. Till then, focus on your studies and build some skills.”“I agree with your aunt,” Benjamin said, surprising Roshan because Benjamin wrote a love letter for him in the morning. “What you think is love is probably just attraction. So, don’t go around looking for women that you can love. You don’t find love that way. It’s something that builds over time.”“Before you approach any girl and ask her out, take your time,” Rye

Rebecca and others returned home.Rebecca did not take her purse out of her car. She even left the dress she bought.When was the last time she had someone else buy anything for her? It had been years, and she didn’t even remember the last time it happened.She didn’t want to owe anything to anybody. But if she were to give the money that cost for the dress to Benjamin, it wouldn’t look good on her part. So, she wanted to return the favor in another way.But how?After some thinking, she brought a sealed pair of inline skates over to Benjamin and said, “Please take these.”Benjamin remembered that she had bought multiple skates a few months back. “I already have a pair.”“But these are of top quality,” Rebecca said.“Don’t you want to use them then?”“I’m only a beginner, and I already have a pair that I use,” she said. “So, I think you will put these to better use.”“Since you put it that way, I won’t refuse,” Benjamin took the skates from her, and both their fingers touched that mo

Benjamin came downstairs and went straight to George and took the soft drink can out of his hand.“Hey, what are you doing?” George raised his voice.“Shh,” Elizabeth told him to shut up.George controlled his anger and waited.Benjamin looked inside the can and noticed millions of dot-like structures inside the soft drink. “Where did you buy this drink?”“At a mart. Why?” George asked. “Do you want one as well? I bought many boxes, so if you want one, then go to the storage room.”Benjamin walked away with the can in his hand.“What the…” George looked baffled. “Did he just take my drink and leave?” He looked at his sister.“It’s just a drink. Don’t bother about it,” Elizabeth said.“It’s not about the drink. He’s very rude,” George stated.“A man that handsome can be a little rude,” Elizabeth replied.“Why are you backing him?” George looked a bit baffled. “Did he give you something valuable to you or what?”“Haha, you’re indeed my brother,” Elizabeth slapped his shoulder before lea

Benjamin planted four metal rods in the four corners of the property that was part of the Sterling villa. They were mostly buried into the ground and could be barely seen. Once he connected them all with silver lightning, it raised a magnetic field around the whole property.And all the people inside that region began to feel pleasant.All the glowing marks on George’s face also disappeared slowly but surely.“What’s this barrier for?” Louis asked him.“It keeps away threats, and also heals those inside it,” Uzza entered the scene. “The Four Seasons Seal. That’s what it is. It’s invisible to the naked eye. Even most vampires won’t be able to see it.”“Yeah, I can’t see it, either,” Louis said, “but I can barely feel it. How can this energy field make even a vampire feel good? If it’s beneficial to a human, shouldn’t it be harmful to a vampire?”“We could build it that way, but he tweaked it a little because of you and your family,” Uzza said.Louis felt a bit grateful after hearing th

Louis stayed at the mart for a full 24 hours, but he didn’t notice anything unusual.Meanwhile, at the Sterling villa.Shawn went out early in the morning and brought milk from a farmer their family knew from a long time. Uzza stopped Shawn at the entrance and checked the milk.She couldn’t see the nanobots like Benjamin could, so she had to taste the milk to check for their presence.After verifying its purity, Uzza let him bring the milk cans into the villa. “What’s this all about?” Shawn asked her.“I’m just checking the fat of the milk, that’s all,” Uzza told him. “My daughter wants me to make some sweets, so the milk needs to be of a certain standard. Packet milk is worthless, but this milk isn’t bad.”“It’s worth twenty dollars,” Shawn said. “Packet milk costs only fourteen dollars. Still, I bought raw milk because my mom doesn’t use processed milk, even if it has decent fat content in it.”“Well, during processing they mix a lot of chemicals for longer shelf life and other thin
