Chapter 1032


    “There''s no horse manure. It''s all grass!”


    Exasperated, Arissa shot Benjamin a re. Is he trying to scare me?


    “I''m sure there was horse manure where you''re standing. Otherwise, why would the grass look greener


    than it is elsewhere? It seems that the management did a shoddy job of keeping the ce clean!”


    Benjamin countered with a solemn expression on his face, not at all appearing as though he was


    joking.


    At that, Arissa took a closer look. Surprisingly, the grass beneath her feet was indeed lusherpared


    to elsewhere.


    She eyed the man''s somber expression, amusement bubbling within her. “All horse ranches have


    horse manure.”


    Besides, it''s not like people onlye here for brief horse rides. If they rode as long as we did, it''s only


    natural that the horses pooped.


    Hearing that, Benjamin threw her a sidelong look. “Are you not scared?”


    Even as he spoke, he led her away from the spot.


    Arissa shook her head smilingly. “Nope. Horses eat grass, just like cows. Hence, their poop is very


    clean. It''s fine as long as it''s not fresh excretion. In fact, people use dry horse and cow dung as fuel to


    cook!”


    A frown marred Benjamin''s countenance. Well, I''ve never seen that before. It sounds rather revolting.


    His expression tickled Arissa pink.


    “It''s just grass, so it doesn''t stink.”


    She nudged the man''s arm teasingly.


    Clocking the mirth dancing in her eyes, Benjamin grunted in acknowledgment.


    Arissa burst outughing.

    Shaking his hand off, she raced into the distance.


    “Ahh! The air here is so fresh!”


    With her arms spread wide open, she frolicked in the meadow like a child, enjoying herself greatly.


    Benjamin''s thin lips curved into a gentle arc. He followed behind her with a hand in his pocket, his gaze


    fixated on her.


    When Arissa was exhausted from running around, she plopped down on the meadow before lying


    down.


    The sky was blue and clear without a cloud in sight.


    She got lost in the stunning view until a pair of long and slender legs entered her line of vision.


    As her eyes traveled up, she was greeted by the sight of the man''s metal belt buckle before her gaze


    finally alighted on his captivatingly handsome face.


    Right then, Benjamin was staring down at her. Blinking, Arissa patted the spot beside her. “Lie down.


    It''s incrediblyfortable!”


    Benjamin quirked a brow and crouched, pinching her cheek lightly with his long and slender fingers.


    “Aren''t you afraid of bugs?”


    At that question, the corners of Arissa''s mouth twitched. I''m no ordinary girl, okay?


    “What kind of bugs could there be on a meadow like this?”


    Grasshoppers? They don''t scare me!


    After saying that, she reiterated, “I''m not scared. Come on, lie down. It''s soft and reallyfortable!”


    Closing her eyes, she luxuriated in the vast meadow.


    At the intoxicated look on her face, Benjamin''s gaze darkened a shade.


    He propped a hand against the grass beside her head before leaning down and kissing her on the


    forehead.


    Arissa''s eyes promptly popped open.


    She stared at him nkly, her cheeks ming.


    shing her a devilish smile, Benjamin folded his legs and sat down beside her.


    Arissa''s gaze remained pinned on him. Her heart started racing as she studied his tall and broad back.


    Unbidden, a shy smile tugged at her lips.


    “Won''t you lie down, Benjamin? The grass is very clean!”


    Benjamin turned and swung his gaze over, the dark look in his eyes and his hoarse voice exceedingly


    seductive.


    “What did you just call me?”


    Blinking in bewilderment, Arissa replied, “Benjamin.”


    At once, Benjamin''s eyes narrowed a fraction. With an intense aura emanating from him, he leaned


    over.


    Wholly stunned, Arissay there motionlessly. Don''t tell me he wants to kiss me!


    The sight of her quivering eyshes had a trace of glee flitter across Benjamin''s eyes.


    “Why are you so nervous? Afraid that I''ll take you here?”


    Arissa''s cheeks were stained scarlet, rendering her enthralling beyond words.


    She chuckled sheepishly. “Not at all!”


    Oh God, must he say that in such a serious manner? His asceticism is only making him all the more


    tempting!


    Twisting sideways, Benjaminy down beside her with a hand propped below his head.


    He pinched her cheek with his other hand. “If so, why are you blushing?”


    Verily, his rich baritone voice was unbelievably tantalizing.


    In a sh, a pink hue inexorably colored Arissa''s cheeks once more.
