Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

Chapter 67

On the first day after Benjamin quit the job, he did a lot of things that made him feel happy more than proud. Firstly, he had made a carrot pudding, one good enough to make his wife compliment him for the first time. And he expressed his love for her not just through words but also by focusing on her little needs and wants.

At the end of the day, Rebecca felt like she really was treated like a queen. But it was at night, something much more memorable happened for her. She was tying up a bandage around her ankle to keep it firm, and she was doing it clumsily. Benjamin took it upon himself and tied a beautiful-looking knot that almost impressed her. But that wasn’t all. He suggested she could also add knots to her designs to give them a unique feel, and he showed her very many wonderful designs with a rope and a scarf. Thanks to him, Rebecca learned a lot in one night. She was a bit overwhelmed even, so she asked him to help her practice these knots for a few days, until her brain got used to making them. The only troubling situation Benjamin encountered was at the dining table at night. Elizabeth was around, and she made sure the new maid put minced meat pieces on Rebecca’s plate whereas only bones on Benjamin’s plate. Elizabeth wanted to ask Benjamin why he didn’t show up at job, but she didn’t want Rebecca to know she began working at Rye’s Pizzas which she used to mock all the time, calling it not even a job. Even though Benjamin didn’t show up, Elizabeth vented her anger on the staff by firing three people for making the slightest mistakes that ticked her off. Still and all, the worker who dropped a tray of sauce bottles wasn’t among them. Even though Benjamin was being poorly treated by Elizabeth, Rebecca couldn’t stand up for him. She had never been an emotional support for him, and she was still not ready to show public support for him in the Sterling villa, and she felt bad about it. Nevertheless, Rebecca slept peacefully that night, thanks to all the good memories she made that day.

Benjamin couldn’t control himself from planting a little kiss on her cheek after she slept. And then he went to his bed and slept.

The next morning.

Benjamin woke up early as usual. He didn’t go to the rooftop first and instead went to the garden and brought a few flowers and put them next to Rebecca’s bed, hoping she’d see them and feel pleasant right after waking up. He then went upstairs to the rooftop to do his usual morning routine, and there were two maids scissoring themselves by the terrace, shocking him. The seed packet in his hands fell.

The noise seemingly startled the maids, and they hurriedly covered themselves and ran downstairs.

Even though the maids left their naked images kept playing in his mind, which irritated him. He picked up the seeds packet and went to the terrace, only to see that the tray looking dirty This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

with wet food, and the water bowl had some dirt that settled at the bottom. “What the…” he tossed the waste in the dustbin and cleaned the tray and bowl, put seeds and water in them.

He whistled and waited, but the birds didn’t come. He kept whistling for a little while, but there was no change. “Did they go somewhere?” He wondered.

Meanwhile at Selena’s room. There were two maids who received some cash from her. “You two did a good job,” Selena said, smiling.

“But do you think it’ll work, ma’am?” one of the two maids, Kathy’s cousin, asked. “I mean, didn’t Kathy already try and fail?”

“She did, but she didn’t really use all her weapons,” Selena reminded. “So, you two, from here on out, just try to keep revealing more and more skin in front of him but without him doubting.” She remembered how Jacob first fell for Sheron, Devon’s wife, even though sheron was many years older. It only takes one glance at a woman’s nakedness for a man’s commonsense to wane. Just fill his eyes with your naked wealth, and it’ll drive him mad soon, I’m sure.” “Yes, ma’am.”

At the same time, Veronica woke up early and came out of her room with a water bottle in her hand.

As she was drinking, she noticed Benjamin climbing down the stairs. (This guy… he sleeps late and yet wakes up early every day. How does he do that?) She walked over to him, wanting to tell him to bring a lot of pizzas home for free as her friends were coming over. “Hey, you.”

Benjamin stopped and looked at her and seemed shocked because her shorts were a little too small, and her shirt was also so small, he could almost see her underbood, meaning she wasn’t even wearing a bra. “W-What’s with your dress?” he looked away. “Can’t you dress modestly for one day?”

She immediately grew angry and immediately tossed the water in his face. “I’ll dress however I want! Who are you to tell me?”

He wiped the water off his face and looked at her and said, “I’m your brother-in-law.”

“Huh, look at you,” Veronica smirked. “You don’t even know how to appreciate fashion, yet you married a fashion designer.”

“You call showing your butt through the shorts as fashion?” Benjamin asked back.

“That’s the trend these days, and clearly, you are too retarded to see it, the cultural progress.” “Not really. I can see clear enough to tell that the line between shorts and panties has been thinning down as the world is progressing,” he said. “Next what? You cover your privates with fig leaves and call it progress?”

“You…” Veronica went for a quick slap in the face, but Benjamin caught her arm effortlessly, which quite surprised her. His gaze turned from soft to real sharp.

“Don’t make me hurt you, sister-in-law,” he said.

Her heart shook as his words didn’t just reach her ears but flooded a sense of fear throughout her body. She found herself standing frozen even after he let go of her hand and turned around and walked away.
