Semua Bab Savvy Son-in-law: Bab 31 - Bab 40

“I’ve already had sex with you, Rebecca,” Benjamin coldly said to her. “Even if I hadn’t, you are not worth the work it takes to get to you.” Saying that he walked away.“Wait,” she called out for him desperately, but he didn’t stop. She felt like her whole world collapsed, and her heart crumbled.“Madam, breakfast!” a voice penetrated through her dreamy world and forcibly woke her up.Rebecca suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was a dream. Her heart, however, was beating fast in reality.She looked to her right. Benjamin had already gone, but her car keys were still on the desk. She purposely left them on the desk to see if he would take them again, but apparently, he didn’t.The maid put the food and water on a foldable table next to her bed. “Wash yourself and eat before the food runs cold, madam,” the maid said and left.Meanwhile, at the dining table downstairs.The whole table was occupied by guests, with both Jacob and Selena sitting among them. Benjamin was serving

“The Hogs failed?” Francis the criminal lawyer cut the call. “I just wanted him beat, so I can push the blame onto Jacob or his eldest son, which will surely make him flee from the villa. But why is just beating this bastard taking so long? I want my son to enter Selena’s daughter’s life, so I can become related to Selena at least this way, but…” after thinking a bit, he dialed another number. “Hello, Blackbear. What happened to the task I gave you? Were you fucking sleeping?”“I was working on it, Mr. Francis,” Blackbear replied a little politely, “but you went and asked the useless Hogs to finish the task that even four of my men couldn’t finish?”“Let’s get to the point. How much time will you need?”“A month. Not a day more.”“Fine,” Francis’ voice turned cold. “If you fail this time, be prepared to see the samurai.” He then ended the call. “Edward said he’ll take care of the son-in-law in a month as well, didn’t he? Let’s see which one of us will succeed first.”“Why, sir?” Franc

“Hello, my little bird,” a creepy caring voice came from the other side, sending a chill all over Rebecca’s body. “Normally, I am the one who ensnares women, but it's the opposite in your case. You’ve tied me up with your peerless beauty.”Rebecca immediately recognized this man. It was Arlo Campbell, the governor’s son. She thought he wouldn’t contact her again after her father had talked with his father. Clearly, she was wrong.“What’s wrong, dear?” Arlo continued to speak in a saucy tone, “Did you think I will give up on you just because your father had a little chat with mine? While your father may be rich, my father is the richest elected official of the country. Even the president has to think twice before talking with my dad, so you see… I believe your father didn’t give enough respect to my father, but I can forgive him because he’s responsible for your birth. Without him, a rare bird like you wouldn’t have been born. You are a thousand times more beautiful than your mother, a

The next morning.Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket.“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn’t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it’s not possible now anyways.”He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him.“So it was her…” Benjamin’s heart fl

Rebecca’s cry was heard by the maids and the butlers. Though she felt quite the pain for a second, once he put her on the bed and her foot neatly rested, she didn’t feel the pain anymore.“I’m sorry,” Benjamin apologized for the tenth time. “I was…” he couldn’t say the reason as he was staring at her face and forgot about the surroundings.“I don’t think you did it on purpose,” Rebecca said, “so it’s alright.”Benjamin was left speechless. Was she always so understanding? No, something definitely changed in her. He couldn’t pinpoint it but could feel it.“Uh, I couldn’t make it to the job in the morning,” he said, “so I asked for a night shift.”“Oh, so you won’t be here tonight.”“Yeah.” He sounded disappointed.She felt a little bit sour. She currently wasn’t wearing the wedding ring. “Okay. I give you permission.”Whether she was being humorous or not, Benjamin faintly smiled and said, “Thank you, my love.” He leaned forward and gently adjusted a few strands of hair falling down th
