Chapter 1028


    When the couple was outside, they ran straight into Justin. Next to him were several sexydies.


    Justin puffed out a cloud of cigarette smoke before remarking mockingly, “And here I was wondering


    which bigshot wanted the ce vacated. It never urred to me that it would be you, Mr. Graham.”


    Arissa gave him a once-over. She could not help getting the sense that she had met him before. As for


    Benjamin, he steered her into the horse ranch without even bothering to spare Justin a nce.


    “Benjamin Graham!” Justin called out, his expression darkening.


    Benjamin turned around and cast an icy look at him. “What do you want?”


    A sly smile spread across Justin''s face. “Where''s the fun in having the entire ce all to yourself? Why


    don''t we join you?”


    “I''m not interested,” Benjamin replied, shooting down the suggestion without hesitation.


    Justin studied him for a while. Then, his gaze fell upon Arissa. “And who might this beautifuldy be?”


    Benjamin tilted his body sideways to block her from Justin''s view, a warning look shing in his eyes.


    Seemingly struck with a sudden realization, Justin eximed, “Don''t tell me she''s the woman who gave


    birth to your son!”


    Having no intention of continuing the conversation with Justin, Benjamin led Arissa away at once.


    Justin narrowed his eyes as he watched the pair leave, and the corners of his lips curled upward with a


    hint of a malicious smile.


    At that moment, thedies mored around him, asking, “Are we still going horseback riding?”


    “Do you even need to ask? Can''t you see that someone has booked the entire ce?” Justin snapped,


    his expression changing instantly. He gritted his teeth as he thought about how Benjamin had gone too


    far, then stormed off with the others in a huff.


    Meanwhile, Arissa could not shake off the feeling that she had seen Justin somewhere before. She


    wanted to turn around and take another look at him, but Benjamin ced a hand behind her head to


    stop her from doing so.


    “Don''t look around!” he uttered in his deep voice.


    Turning toward him, she voiced her confusion. “I can''t help thinking that he looks a little familiar. I


    wonder where I''ve seen him before.”


    “He approached you at the square,” Benjamin told her while giving her a sidelong nce.


    She was surprised to hear that. After racking her brain for a while, she finally recalled the incident. “I


    remember now. What does that guy work as?”


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “He owns a nightclub and used to have feelings for Danna,” he exined.


    Arissa furrowed her brows. “Used to? Does that mean he doesn''t anymore?”


    “I''ve no idea about that,” he responded. And it doesn''t interest me in the least. Nheless, based on


    my understanding of Justin, there''s no way he''d stand by idly if he genuinely has feelings for her.


    However, he hasn''te looking for me since Danna''s arrest. That''s quite odd.


    Arissa forgot all about Justin when Benjamin ushered her into the stable to pick a horse. The horses


    there caught her attention as soon as she saw them.


    “Do you like these horses?” he asked, leading her further into the stable.


    Surveying the horses that were full of vigor and had grooms dedicated to taking care of their every


    need, she was astonished. “Are they all yours?”


    “Mm-hmm,” he murmured while nodding.


    Arissa''s lips twitched as she was awed by the number of horses he owned. “What breed are they?”


    I don''t know much about horses, but I''m pretty sure these aren''t just any ordinary breed of horses.


    “Akhal-Teke.” As he spoke, he petted one of the horses. It responded by rubbing its muzzle


    affectionately against his palm, appearing very gentle and tame.


    Seeing that, Arissa said, “I''ll pick this one, then.”


    Benjamin raised his eyebrows. “You won''t be able to handle this one. Let me choose another for you.”


    “But this one looks pretty docile!” she replied, looking at him in puzzlement.


    He chuckled. “It only appears docile when it''s with me. With others, it''s very ill-tempered.”


    “Really?” She stepped forward and tried petting the horse as Benjamin had done. However, it clearly


    had quite a temper as it swung its head away haughtily and snorted. She gave a start in response.


    Heughed as he pulled her back. “Go to the front. Those over there are more suitable for you. You''re


    not a skilled rider, so a calmer horse will make things easier. A high-mettled steed isn''t the best match


    for you.”


    She rubbed her nose, having no choice but to do as he said and follow him to the front.


    The manager proceeded to make some rmendations. “Mr. Graham, these horses are quite


    beautiful and very docile. They''ll be suitable for a beginner like Mrs. Graham.”
