Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 795
Moments after Lisa left the balcony, Selena came there. Delle put a chair in between Rebecca and Benjamin, and Selena sat there.Delle gave her coffee and then left.As Selena sipped on the coffee, she looked at her daughter and noticed something. “Rebecca, is that a gray hair on your head?”Rebecca was surprised by that. “No it’s not,” she replied without even taking a look at it. Why would her mother bring up the topic about her hair in front of Benjamin? She didn’t understand it.“I didn’t get a single gray hair until I turned 37,” Selena said. “You’re not even thirty, and you are already starting to get gray hair. That’s not good, Rebecca. Use aloe vera. We have lots of aloe vera growing at our home, so use them.”Rebecca didn’t say anything.“Aloe Vera is good,” Benjamin voiced his mind. “It cools the head and reduces the stress, so it will help promote the health of the hair, but if you want the hair to be darkened, I think you should use related herbs like hibiscus powder.”“I

Rebecca and Benjamin were still on the balcony, and she was staring at the sun. “Is it just me, or does the sun feel a little different?”Benjamin smiled a little. “Why do you feel it’s different?”“I don’t know…” she shrugged. “I don’t feel the same warmth I used to feel.”“I don’t know if you’ve noticed it or not, but the sunflowers in your garden are facing away from the sun.”“W-What?” Rebecca quickly stood and looked down from the balcony and saw the sunflowers, and they were facing the west in the morning. “You’re right. They are facing West. How’s that possible?”“The dandelions haven’t opened their faces,” Benjamin added, “and the birds are singing at 3 and 4 in the morning.”“Why is that?” Rebecca looked confused.“Because their biological clocks have been affected by the so-called sun you see up there,” Benjamin said as he looked at the sun that was no longer giving the warm orange light but was giving a bright white light like that of an LED light. (Even the real sun has be

Rye raised her eyebrows. “Why are you sitting over there? Come and sit next to me.”“Please, Rye, let me sit here,” Benjamin requested.“Why? So that you can sit next to her?” Rye asked without hesitation. “Am I not the one who called you to eat with me?”Benjamin sighed and then changed places and sat next to her.She took out a sliced piece of carrot and brought it closer to his mouth. He didn’t open his mouth and looked at her as if asking what she was doing. “This is the reward for listening to my request.”Benjamin then opened his mouth slightly, and she slid the carrot piece into his mouth like how one would push a coin into the vending machine.But then he wasn’t chewing it, so she said, “You know what, Benjamin, did she ever put anything in your mouth? At least a grape or a biscuit or something?”Benjamin didn’t answer.“Thought so,” Rye slightly shook his head. “Love should be mutual, you know.”“God loved us first when we were still sinners,” he retorted.“Don’t compare your

Most lovers would shy away from questions regarding marriage, which would generally turn the atmosphere into an awkward one. This was what Dorothy was hoping to achieve.The moment she asked that question, ‘When are you two going to marry?’, Benjamin was surprised by it, but Rye wasn’t.Rye quickly wrapped her arm around his arm and smiled while looking at her. “Whenever we’re ready.”Her response was simple and perfect in their eyes.But Dorothy asked, “You mean, you aren’t ready now? No offense, but if you can’t commit to marriage now, then I’m not sure if that thought will change in the future.”“Not when our love is larger than our faults and failures,” Rye leaned into Benjamin and kissed him on the cheek. “He’s already made a very big mistake, but that doesn’t stop me from loving him. And I think the same is the case with him. Isn’t that right, Benjamin?”Benjamin squeezed his lips together.“He’s just being shy,” Rye said, smiling.Dorothy also forced out a smile. (I was trying

Lisa came to Benjamin that morning and asked him to drop her to school again like yesterday.Rye was right next to him, and she said, “Do you really think you can attract him, girl?”Lisa was a bit shocked by Rye’s boldness. How did Rye even see through her hidden intentions? “I-I wasn’t trying to do anything like that.”“I know, but he’s not going to fall for a spoiled child,” Rye said, patting Lisa’s shoulder. “You should ask your dad or mom to drop you at school instead. Go.”Lisa reluctantly left. She was still glancing at Benjamin every now and then, hoping he’d take her out.Rye frowned. “This girl… I tried to humble her a bit, but her ego is quite big.”Benjamin didn’t look surprised. “She’s part of the Sterling family, after all.” His words sounded like they came from experience.“You’ve been with them for a while, so you need some cleansing, too,” Rye told him.Benjamin’s shoulders slumped a little.“I’m just kidding, my guy,” Rye laughed and wrapped her arm around his shoul

When the gun was shot, Uzza was right on the first floor, drinking warm lemon water. She would have intervened if the bullet was going to hit Shawn, but it went right past him and hit the television.“I missed that on purpose,” Samuel said, “but next time, I won’t. So, let’s make this easy for both sides.” He looked at Rebecca. “Honestly, you don’t look that great now. You are so much better looking in your old pictures. Now, you look like you’re recovering from drug addiction or some other self-destructing habit, which most young women these days are unknowingly good at.”“Am I supposed to nod at everything you say because you have a gun?” Rebecca replied, startling everyone.Samuel smiled. “I like your courage.”“I don’t like you, and I can give you a dozen reasons,” Rebecca said. “Your daughter is my age. I’m not going to marry you no matter what you threaten me with.”“Age is not a big deal these days,” Samuel casually said. “Are you worried that the world might think of you as a

At Russell Tower in the Creed Zone region, which was part of Salem city.Andrew Sehla was talking with Regan Creed and his grandson Russell in the meeting hall.“Mr. President, we’ve already talked about this with the last president,” Regan said. “He passed the bill and agreed to it that we don’t use any wireless technology in my Creed Zone. Now, you are telling me to change that.”“I will cover the costs,” Andrew said.“Sorry. It’s not about the cost, sir,” Regan politely said. “The reason we stuck to wired technology is mainly because of health reasons.”“C’mon, wireless technology affects the plants and birds, but they don’t have much effect on us humans,” Andrew said, laughing a little. “We are the ultimate predators in this world. How can we be influenced by mere radio waves? As men, we should look at what’s in front of us and not what’s around us, Mr. Regan. Otherwise, our progress will keep getting halted. All I’m asking for is to make the environment here more government frien

As Benjamin dragged Samuel away, Uzza went to the bodyguard who was trying to force his way into Lisa’s room.She patted his back. He turned around and grabbed her throat and tried to throw her aside. He was big and strong. He should have been able to throw her aside without much of a problem, even though Uzza was nearly ninety kilos in weight. However, he couldn’t move her even an inch.Uzza pressed her thumb on his forearm, which sent a surge of electricity along his arm, forcing him to let go of her. “A man who treats women roughly is worse than a pig and so needs to be treated the same way.” She swiftly slapped him with the back of her hand, making him spin and crash to the floor. He lost consciousness.Lisa was still nervously sitting in her room.“It’s safe now. You can come out if you want,” Uzza told her and walked away. “This little girl seems to have a crush on Benjamin,” she thought. “It’s not her fault. She’s at that age where her hormones excite her, but if she doesn’t le
