The More the Merrier novel Chapter 1036

Chapter 1036

After a few interruptions, Benjamin was actually no longer in the mood to do anything with Arissa.

Nonetheless, he pinned a dark gaze on her. “No one dares to come here.”

Harrumphing, Arissa inched away from him.

Benjamin threw a look at her before resting his head on his hands, trying to calm himself.

A gentle breeze blew around them, very much refreshing.

When Arissa relaxed completely, she started nodding off shortly after.

Amusement inundated Benjamin upon turning and seeing her eyelids drooping as they opened and closed every other second.

Turning sideways, he propped a hand against his head and reached out to pinch her cheek.

The instant Arissa opened her eyes and met his smiling gaze, she was stunned for a moment.

“Nap for a while if you're sleepy.”

Benjamin made a call and had the manager deliver a blanket.

In no time, the manager arrived with a blanket on a horse. That aside, he even brought pillows.

“Here's the blanket, Mr. Graham. Just say the word if you need anything else!”

He handed everything to Benjamin personally.

Meanwhile, Arissa had long since sat up when she saw someone approaching.

“Thank you.”

“Not at all, Mrs. Graham!”

The manager's eyes were fixated on them.

After taking the items and food from the manager, Benjamin waved a hand in dismissal.

He then opened the blanket set that included a padded mat.

After laying it out, he placed the pillows on it.

“Go ahead and sleep.”

Shifting her gaze to him, Arissa asked smilingly, “Aren't you sleeping?”

Benjamin glanced at her before crouching and placing the food aside.

“Soon.”

Giggling, Arissa left him to it and lay back down.

“Hmm, it's even more comfortable now.”

It wasn't cold, so she didn't bother with the blanket.

After Benjamin put everything in order, he lay down beside her. Then, he stretched a long arm out and pulled her into his embrace.

With his other hand, he snagged the blanket and draped it over her.

“I'm not cold.”

“Honey!”

Arissa seemingly had a dream. She dreamed of Benjamin calling her “Honey” tenderly and kissing her.

She couldn't help laughing aloud. Delight flooded her, and she wanted to immerse herself in the dream. Alas, a sense of suffocation swamped her.

She struggled for a bit before suddenly regaining consciousness. Staring into a pair of dark eyes as soon as she opened her eyes, she was momentarily in a daze.

Benjamin regarded her intently, his heart melting to see her spacing out while gawking at him. “What did you dream of? Why were you smiling so sweetly?”

He pinched her face lightly.

Gradually, Arissa gathered her wits about her. Recalling her dream where the man kissed her, her face flushed bright red.

“I'm not telling you that!”

As Benjamin scrutinized her, his eyes were as dark as night, appearing like whirlpools that could draw others in. Once someone fell into it, they would no longer be able to extricate themselves.

Her heart skipping a beat, Arissa blinked.

“Did you dream of me?”

Benjamin intentionally teased her in a low and deep voice.

Arissa gaped at him. How did he know that?

Clocking her reaction, Benjamin arched a brow smugly. “What did I do in your dream?”

He sat down and trained his eyes that were dancing with glee on her.
