The More the Merrier novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Why Are You Hitting Yourself

Benjamin felt his heart wrench in pain when he saw how upset Arissa was, her face covered with sweat and tears.

He reached out to wipe away her tears and said gently, “Arissa, you’re having a nightmare!”

Noticing that Arissa still seemed to be in a daze, the man could not help but worry.

He carried her to the sofa and patted her back softly, sitting by her side.

“It’s all right. It’s just a dream!” Benjamin cooed.

Hearing that, the woman sniffled and gradually returned to her senses.

When she felt the warmth of Benjamin’s embrace, her feeling of helplessness slowly subsided.

“Everything is fine now.”

The man lifted her face and comforted her.

Tears welled up in Arissa’s eyes as she met Benjamin’s worried gaze.

Still feeling helpless, she tried to stop herself from crying as she started narrating her dream to the man.

“Just now, I…”

Unable to hold back her tears, tears flowed down the woman’s cheeks as she spoke.

Patting her back gently, Benjamin said, “It’s just a dream.”

Arissa finally calmed down and stopped crying after a while.

She sniffled and slipped out of the man’s arms. That was when she saw that his shirt was already soaked with her tears and snot.

“Sorry! You should go and wash up!” Arissa exclaimed, feeling awkward.

“It’s all right!” Benjamin replied and proceeded to wipe away the remaining tears on Arissa’s face while she glanced at him.

“Are you feeling better now?” Benjamin asked, fixing his worried gaze on Arissa.

She could feel a dull pain in her heart as she replied, “I dreamed of the kids being taken away just now.”

When Benjamin heard that, he frowned and felt his heart aching.

“I guessed it when I heard you screaming just now.”

Arissa looked at him briefly and said, “You should go and wash up. I’ll sit here for a while more!”

Benjamin sized her up and noticed that her emotions were more or less settled. Only then did he stand up and head toward the bathroom.

Arissa curled up on the couch and a sorrowful expression appeared on her face as she tried to recall how many of her children Danna had taken away.

Was it one or two?

The woman’s head started aching when she tried harder to recall her dream.
