Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 806
Jane and Rebecca came out of the room together, holding hands.“You look really cute, Rebecca. I’m being honest,” Jane leaned into her and kissed her head. “You make me want to kiss you.”“I don’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore, though,” Rebecca replied.“You should embrace your current look, as you might not shave your head ever again,” Jane said. “Short hair doesn’t suit every girl, but it suits you. I’m not telling you to stick to short hair, though, because you look so much better when your hair is full. It’s very silky, after all. Compared to yours, mine is very rough. I don’t really like touching my hair, and I wish I had hair like yours.”“You surely are good at joking. Your hair is nice, too,” Rebecca said.Jane and Rebecca went to the living room, and Jane greeted Selena who seemed anxious. “Is everything alright, Aunt? You seem worried.”“It’s nothing,” Selena quickly said. She didn’t want to tell anything about burying Samuel in the backyard. “You already came ba

Selena received a phone call, so she went away.Jane, on the other hand, came downstairs. She saw Benjamin staring at a painting on the wall.“The sunrise… it looks beautiful, doesn’t it?” Jane said.Benjamin glanced at her and said, “Yeah.” He wasn’t sure if she remembered him or not.“Because of the big buildings, we’re not able to see the beauty of the sunrise everyday in cities like ours,” Jane added. “For the luxuries we get by staying in the city, we lose out on a lot of what nature has to offer. That’s what I learned on my recent trip with my fiance.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Anyway, I’m Jane,” she offered a handshake, but he didn’t shake her hand. He was a bit disappointed that Jane also didn’t remember him. He didn’t talk to her much at all, but the fact that she also completely forgot about him was not easy to swallow. Because he didn’t shake her hand, she withdrew her hand. (Is he a traditionalist? But he looks modern, though. So why didn’t he shake my hand?) Wanting

Jane went speechless, and her eyes stayed wide open after Rye said those words.Jane looked at Benjamin with a stupid expression, unable to process what was happening. If Rye was Benjamin’s girlfriend, then why did he want to get close to Rebecca? This made her feel crazy.“Is something wrong?” Rye asked, seeing the change in Jane’s expression.“Ah, uh, no,” Jane forced out a smile. “I just got caught in my thoughts. That’s all. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Rye. Your name reminds me of Rye’s Pizzas.”“That’s because I founded that company,” Rye said.Jane blinked twice. “W-What? Are you speaking the truth?”“Why would I lie?” Rye retorted.“Then, does that mean you are friends with Colton Brown?” Jane quickly asked.“Colton?” Rye faintly smiled. “He’s the first employee of my company, so of course I remember him.”Jane’s eyes lit up. “I’ve always wanted to talk with him. Can you give me his phone number?’“I do have his number from a while ago,” Rye said, “but I’m not sure if he’s still

It had been fifteen minutes since Benjamin talked with Jane, but his head was still feeling hot and heavy. No amount of rubbing his forehead and temples helped him right now.Amber brought a glass full of juice to him and was smiling, “I made sapodilla juice, sir. Please have it and give me your opinion.”Benjamin took a sniff and looked at her. “Did you add elaichi?”Amber was startled. “S-Sorry, I forgot to add cardamom powder. Give me a second.” She quickly rushed out.“She wants me to announce my break up with Rye first, huh… What will Rye think if I do that?” Benjamin kept staring at the glass. “It’s easy to break a glass, but a woman’s heart…”He had already broken her heart once. If he were to upset her badly once again, would she be able to take it? She might be a strong woman, but what if she were to make a stupid decision on the spur of the moment?Benjamin dropped the glass at once. But he stopped it with his foot before it fell to the floor. The glass perfectly stood on hi

Rye wondered why Uzza called her, but to her shock, Uzza was eating plum fruits in a round red hat. Uzza only wanted to share plum fruits with her.Rye could only smile and eat together with her. They did grow these fruits on Sciocidad, but this was her first time eating the ones grown in the outer world.“How are they?” Uzza asked.“They are not bad,” Rye said. “But the ones we grow back at home are like juicy little apples.”“Yeah, everything we can find here is like a degraded version,” Uzza sighed. “Even the people are…” she could hear Selena talking with someone on mobile and was talking about Jacob and his drug-related issue. “You’ve lived outside for many months, so what did you understand?”“Mm? Well, at our home, we only need to grow trees and plants to live,” Rye opined, “but in this world… people need at least one of the four things.”“What are those four things?” Uzza curiously asked.“Money, looks, intelligence, or education,” Rye said. “If you don’t have at least one of

If it was anyone else that had asked for his hand for a dance, Benjamin wouldn’t even have thought about it. But the one asking now was Rye, the woman he had spent the most time with up to this point in his life.“Haven’t you two danced together already when you were young?” Uzza said, trying to break the ice between them. “Why are you thinking so much now, Benjamin? Just grab her hand and craft a step or two. Trust me, first love is the best. There’s no better feeling than dancing with your first love.”“I don’t just want to stop at being just his first love,” Rye said without hesitation. “I want to be his last love also.” She smiled through her eyes and reached out for Benjamin’s hand and grabbed it. “If you are not going to hold my hand, I will hold yours.”Benjamin pursed his lips. “R-Rye…”Before he could say another word, Rye put her finger on his mouth. “Shh, don’t act like I’m asking you to sleep with me. It’s just a dance. Don’t make a big deal over it.”After she removed her

“I’ve also just checked an e-copy of your marriage certificate. It turns out that the name there isn’t yours. It’s called Benyamin Wilde. So, in this present messed-up timeline, you were never Rebecca’s husband. Not even for a second. You didn’t even get married yet, so…” she brought her lips closer to his cheek. “Wouldn’t it be totally fine if we kiss each other right here and now?” Rye’s words skipped Benjamin’s heartbeat. He turned his head away to his left.Rye didn’t like that, but she didn’t get upset about it as she was just teasing him.“I know I’m being a little rude, this is reality, Benny,” Rye added. “You never married anyone in this reality yet. So, why don’t you just let things go and head back home?”“I would still like to live in this villa,” Benjamin replied softly.“Benjamin, you are like thunder,” Uzza intervened. “Rye is like lightning. If you get together, your kids are going to be like thunderbolts. How was my poetry?”“Very mediocre,” Rye commented frankly whil

In the later afternoon, the aroma of cappuccino filled the room, and one could see the rainbow through the glass wall, as it was mildly raining outside. The winds were crashing into the trees and disrupted the leaves and made a mess out of them, but it was a beautiful sight to watch for both Jane and Rebecca who were sitting in the comfort of their room.Jane was in a good mood because the song she was playing on her mobile, and the atmosphere outside only added to it.“I think it was in a setting like this… I used to have a big crush on my neighbor,” Jane said. “He would come out in the rain and break the logs wearing a tank top. I used to drool at him. Sometimes I would wear a camisole and go out, hoping he’d see me the same, but he considered me just as a little girl, I think.”“How old were you back then?” Rebecca couldn’t help but ask. “Don’t tell me you were underage.”“Haha,” Jane’s mouth curved into a smile, but she didn’t reveal her age. “The weirdest thing is that I don’t ev

CHAPTER 902
“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Fiona. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

CHAPTER 901
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

CHAPTER 897
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
