The More the Merrier novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802 The Puppy Love Of Benjamin Graham

Unable to help herself, Arissa buried her face under the blanket as she sought to suppress her mounting hysterics.

The brows of the hapless Benjamin creased up ever so tautly at the sight of how vigorously her shoulders were shaking

“That was a long time ago, so I wouldn’t even know what that girl looks like now. Does that still bother you?”

Under the impression that she was upset, he nervously tried to comfort her.

“There, there.”

Benjamin stroked her head.

When Arissa poked her head out, her eyes were shining with amusement.

The stunned expression that flashed across Benjamin’s suave face was immediately supplanted by a discomfited look.

To think that while I thought she was sad, this woman was actually laughing at me!

Chuckling, Arissa then said in a soft voice, “Did you mistake a childhood crush for love?”

Benjamin glared at her before he turned over to lie down.

Sensing the man’s mild annoyance, she tried hard to restrain herself.

The notion of Benjamin’s first love occurring when he was so little came to her as a massive surprise.

A loving feeling roused within her as she approached and wrapped her hands around the man’s arm.

“I really didn’t mean to laugh at you, so don’t be mad. I was just…”

“Go ahead and laugh if you want to!” Benjamin growled.

Unable to contain herself, Arissa burst into a guffaw once more. “I’m so sorry!”

Stealing a glance at the way Benjamin pursed his lips had her again tickled.

“Haven’t you seen each other again after you both grew up?”

Benjamin’s eyes darkened, albeit briefly. “She hasn’t returned to Dellmoor after she left.”

It occurred to Arissa that he still cared a lot for that girl. “Have you tried to find her?”

“We lost contact a long time ago, so I wasn’t able to.”

I wonder where that brat could be right now.

Not hearing a response from her, Benjamin turned to look at her. “She was only like a little sister to me!”

The man’s explanation left little for Arissa to nitpick on.

“I used to have a childhood friend too. An older boy whose company I really enjoyed having while I was little, but we also haven’t been in contact since.”

Benjamin frowned. “Do you still think of him?”

Eyeing the slightly jealous man, Arissa felt gleeful inside.

“Those were fun times, so of course I would!”
