The More the Merrier

Chapter 1027

After glancing at Arissa, Benjamin reached out to pinch her face. "Go on and get changed."

Arissa gave Benjamin a curious look when he handed her equestrian gear for females. "Why would they have gear for women here?"

When she looked around, all she could see were gear designed for men.

Benjamin's eyes glinted sharply as he replied with a smile, "This is a brand-new set of gear. It's never been worn by anyone. I got someone to prepare it for you in advance; I just didn't have the time to take you here before this."

Arissa was glad to hear that and did not mind Benjamin knowing what was on her mind.

"I thought you got it for another woman!" joked Arissa.

Chuckling, Benjamin wrapped his arm around Arissa's waist to pull her close before whispering into her ear, "What would you do if that were true?"

In response, Arissa rolled her eyes at the man and broke free from his grasp. She then looked around the room while holding her equestrian gear, trying to find a place to change.

"What are you looking for? You're changing here." Benjamin had already gotten himself a male set and started changing.

Arissa turned around and saw Benjamin's chiseled and muscular upper body.

Her eyes flickered over the man before she hurriedly turned aside.

Benjamin smirked after glancing at Arissa from the corner of his eye. "Hurry up and get changed, or I'll do it for you." Arissa's ears turned bright red as soon as she heard Benjamin's words. "No. I can do it myself!"

She distanced herself from the man, turned her back to him, and quickly got changed.

When she was done, she turned around and met Benjamin's scorching gaze. In response, she shot him a bashful glare.

She could feel her heart beating fast as she stared at Benjamin dressed in a fancy equestrian outfit that seemed to highlight his sophistication.

Benjamin, too, was impressed when he saw Arissa in her equestrian gear. That outfit makes her look pretty cool, if nothing else.

Noticing Benjamin staring at her, she coughed to get his attention. "Do I not look good?"

Chuckling, Benjamin strode over to pinch Arissa's cheek softly. "You look great!"

Arissa lifted the corner of her lips. "You're not doing too bad yourself. You look handsome!"

"Of course!" responded Benjamin gladly with raised eyebrows.

Looking at the man who seemed to have forgotten what humility was, Arissa could not help but chuckle.

"Let's go outside!"

"Wait!"

Benjamin then pulled Arissa to a chair and got her a pair of elbow guards and knee guards before squatting down to help her put them on. Looking at how serious Benjamin was, Arissa's heart raced.

She could not help but feel warm and fuzzy deep down when she noticed how much more thoughtful the man had become.

When Benjamin lifted his head and met Arissa's gaze, he leaned in and pecked her crimson-red lips.

Shooting the man a shy glare, Arissa could feel her cheeks turn hot. "I'll do it myself!"

"It's better if I do it for you." Benjamin insisted that he help Arissa with the gear in a commanding way.

Smiling, Arissa decided to let Benjamin have his way and pulled out her phone instead so she could take a photo of him secretly.

Benjamin glanced at Arissa in response but said nothing about it. "Have you ridden a horse before?"

"Yes, but I wasn't very good at it," replied Arissa, glancing at Benjamin.

"I'll teach you later."

After Benjamin helped Arissa put on the elbow guards and the knee guards, her body was fully protected.

"I look like a knight, huh?" joked Arissa while looking at the armor she was wearing.

She even struck a pose.

Benjamin broke into a chuckle as he answered teasingly, "More like a crab!"

Then, he fondled her hair lovingly before helping her put on a helmet. "You look awesome!"

Arissa's heart began to race once again as her crystal-clear eyes gazed at the man's good-looking face. "Aren't you going to wear one?"

"I'm too good at this to need a helmet!" replied Benjamin confidently, arching his eyebrow impishly.

Then, he took Arissa's hand and led her outside.
