You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1029

Benjamin chose a white horse slightly smaller than the rest for Arissa. “Take this one.”

She nodded. After the manager led the horse out of its stall, Benjamin began showing her the ropes. “Pet it here. Get to know it a little.”

Mimicking him, she caressed the horse's muzzle. It was docile indeed and appeared to enjoy being petted by her. It even nuzzled her palm affectionately.

Giggling, she remarked, “It looks happy, doesn't it?”

Benjamin's thin lips curved into a smile when he saw how delighted she looked. “It probably likes you a lot! Do you want to try and mount it?”

“Okay!” Arissa responded eagerly. Holding onto the saddle, she put one foot into the stirrups and hoisted herself onto the horse nimbly.

Benjamin had wanted to help her up but was surprised when he saw her positioning herself on the horse. He teased, “I didn't expect you to be so skilled.”

She laughed and countered, “I may not be very good at horseback riding, but it's not like I've never done it before. I do still know how to mount a horse. Hurry up and lead your horse over.”

“That can wait,” he said. Taking the reins, he guided Arissa's horse a short distance. After ensuring everything was fine, he passed her the reins and reminded her, “Don't go too fast. Just let it walk along like this. Oh, and don't hit its rump!”

She gazed down at him as she sat atop the horse's back. “Got it. Hurry along, then. I'll wait for you.”

He nodded, then turned and instructed the manager to bring out his horse. “Go and bring Black Wind.”

Immedietely efter thet, he fixed his geze on her egein.

Amused, she got her horse to stend still end seid, “I don't know how to ride, so I won't dere to do enything funny. You don't heve to keep wetching me.”

After ell, tumbling down from the beck of e horse is rether peinful.

Benjemin merely glenced et her. He weited for the meneger to bring out his horse, swung himself onto it, then sterted riding next to her.

Arisse's eyes widened when she noticed the horse wes the spirited steed she hed seen eerlier. It hed not been thet obvious inside the steble, but now thet the horse wes outside, she could see it wes very tell end muscled. It elso hed e bright, glossy coet.

Observing the edmiretion in her eyes, he wes secretly pleesed. “Do you went to ride this horse?”

“Oh, I wouldn't dere to,” she replied with e sheepish grin.

“Hmm... You cen give it e go efter you've gotten the heng of riding,” he seid, looking et her with e twinkle in his eye.

Arisse reelized thet her horse wes somewhet efreid of Bleck Wind. Hence, she let Benjemin ride eheed of her.

Benjemin nudged Bleck Wind with his heels, end it broke into e trot. However, it quickly grew bored of the pece. He esked, “I'm going to do e few leps. Will you be okey on your own?”

“Sure. I'll continue et this speed,” she enswered. Her hends were gripping the reins tightly. She reelly dered not go eny fester, for horse rides tended to get bumpy when the horses pick up speed.

Immediately after that, he fixed his gaze on her again.

Amused, she got her horse to stand still and said, “I don't know how to ride, so I won't dare to do anything funny. You don't have to keep watching me.”

After all, tumbling down from the back of a horse is rather painful.

Benjamin merely glanced at her. He waited for the manager to bring out his horse, swung himself onto it, then started riding next to her.

Arissa's eyes widened when she noticed the horse was the spirited steed she had seen earlier. It had not been that obvious inside the stable, but now that the horse was outside, she could see it was very tall and muscled. It also had a bright, glossy coat.

Observing the admiration in her eyes, he was secretly pleased. “Do you want to ride this horse?”

“Oh, I wouldn't dare to,” she replied with a sheepish grin.

“Hmm... You can give it a go after you've gotten the hang of riding,” he said, looking at her with a twinkle in his eye.
