Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

Chapter 85

The family doctor had come and treated Benjamin, even though the bleeding had stopped by the time he came.

Selena was also there. She didn’t want anything serious happening between the husband and wife as they were sitting next to each other. So she stayed in the room to make sure nothing of the sort happened.

As the doctor was leaving, he looked at Selena and said, “You may love your son-in-law, but you can’t be calling doctors bastards for not answering your call in the first few rings.”

Selena’s face flushed pink as the doctor had said what he wanted and left. Though she felt embarrassed, she was at least glad that her words were taken in a way that would make her daughter feel better about her.

However, seeing the wounded parrots resting in the bed was something she didn’t like. Beds were not meant for birds, she thought. If not for Rebecca constantly being in the room, she would have already done something about it.

After Benjamin rested on Rebecca’s bed, Rebecca went to the couch. This only furthered Selena’s hatred toward him.

“Come and sleep in my room,” Selena told Rebecca. “It’s okay, mom. I’m fine here. You can go now. Thanks for the help.”

Selena slowly walked out, cursing Benjamin in her thoughts. She ordered Belle to bring her cream coffee before heading to her room, with her favorite book in hand. Delle went to prepare the best tea she could, but while she was looking for sugar, Shadow entered the kitchen and mixed something in the coffee and left just as fast.

Delle took the coffee to Selena who tasted it and said it was good. She began reading her book, but in a couple of minutes, her stomach began stirring. She didn’t mind it and continued reading, but then her bowel started making noise, which even Delle heard, and that embarrassed her.

“You go,” she told Delle. After the maid left, she put the book down and rushed into the bathroom.

Loud farting and shitting noises followed afterward.

Meanwhile, outside the villa.

Shadow just entered a black SUV. Alfred was sitting in the back, and he sat next to him.

“You didn’t do anything crazy, did you?” asked Alfred.

“Nothing crazy. I didn’t want to upset the Lord too much, so I only added a laxative in her coffee,” Shadow replied. “She’ll not leave the bathroom until midnight.”

“What if she dies from dehydration?”

“She’ll call a doctor I’m sure.”

“Still, he might get angry at you for this.” “I know.” Shadow was still wearing the mask that covered up his face from above his mouth.” She deserves a lot more if you ask me. Not just her. The people in this villa are all full of shit. If it was up to me, I’d just make them stand in a line and then roll all their heads with one strike. I don’t understand why the Lord is wasting his time with them. Everytime they treat him badly, my daggers beg me to get rid of them.” “Despite everything, he still considers them as family. You don’t want to dishonor our Lord’s family, do you?”

Shadow squeezed his lips together. “Keep your shit together, or it’s your head that will roll.” “M-Mm. By the way, Young Lady Rye has been calling me. What should I tell her?” “Just don’t answer.”

Meanwhile, Rebecca had been trying to change Benjamin’s mind. “She even stayed here and helped you, so forgive her for what she did to the birds, okay? I will tell her to never touch the birds if she wants me to respect her.”

Benjamin, however, said nothing.

“How about we go to the beach with my mom and veronica? Just the four of us?” she asked.” I’m sure it’ll be fun. I can’t swim yet, but I’ll just sit out in the sun, and we can have a nice chat with the family. What do you say?”

Again, Benjamin didn’t seem all that interested. Going out with her alone was one thing, but going anywhere with her mother or sister would only invite trouble, so he was naturally against that idea.

Rebecca was a prideful woman. She had already asked him twice, and she didn’t want to keep doing it anymore. She stood and walked out of the room and came to the balcony for some fresh air.

Johnny was washing the cars in the garden. He kept looking at her for every few seconds, and she noticed that and went back inside.

A few seconds later, Ashley brought a glass of coconut water to Johnny, pleasantly surprising him. “I-Is this for me?” he asked in shock. “Yes,” Ashley pleasantly smiled, though only faintly. “After Oliver died, you’re the most hardworking butler in the house. Now that Devon also left, you’re going to become a head butler, so take good care of me, okay?” “O-Of course,” he drank the whole glass of coconut water in one gulp, making her say, ‘oh, my. You can drink a whole glass in one gulp. You really are full of surprises. You can also work as well as you eat. You are one handy man.’ “Haha.” He just blushed. “Too bad, she can’t get to you even if she wants to.” Johnny was startled. “Who?” Was Ashley talking about Kathy? “Who else? Madam Rebecca!”

Johnny’s mouth widened, “What?” he lowered his voice. “Why would she want me?” “How would i know? But what I can say is that she looks at you differently. Didn’t you notice that?”

“Well.” Johnny rubbed the back of his head. “Maybe? I’m not sure.” “That’s because you don’t know about women. If you ask me, you’re better at everything than the useless son-in-law. So, of course, she’s gonna be more interested in men like you. Did you ever wonder why they don’t even sleep on the same bed? Maybe she’s waiting for a better man, but how long can she burn from passion? Because no one came forward, she’s decided to officially wed her useless husband. I feel bad for her. If only she can find a man who can please her passions, she wouldn’t need to be with Benjamin.” She sighed and then took the glass from him and walked away Johnny looked toward the balcony where Rebecca had stood a minute ago.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
