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.”

Arissa turned and looked at him. Right then, she wasn't that sleepy anymore.

“Sleep with the blanket on.”

Benjamin, on the other hand, adjusted the blanket over her before hugging her.

Arissa chortled. Fortunately, it's not noon now. Otherwise, he'd smother me to death!

Hearing her laughter, Benjamin gazed down at her. “What's wrong?”

Arissa eyed him without answering. She wiggled around for a cozy spot in his arms before closing her eyes to sleep.

“You should doze for a bit, too.”

“Okay.”

His thin lips curving upward, Benjamin held her and stroked her hair, his movements gentle.

It took a while for Arissa to fall asleep.

As her even breathing sounded in his ear, Benjamin looked down and tucked her in. Resting his chin on her

shoulder, he likewise nodded off.

Half an hour later, he was jolted awake by the ringing of his phone.

Noticing that Arissa was still sleeping, he hastily declined the call.

He turned sideways, gently placed her down on the mat, and adjusted the blanket on her. Only after doing all that

did he walk some distance away and return the call.

It was about a work matter.

When he concluded the phone call and glimpsed the stunningly beautiful sunset, he turned and walked back to

Arissa, crouching down beside her.

“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.
