CHAPTER 131

“If I had known you would hug me for feeding you a spoonful of carrot pudding, I’d have done it every night when I was in the villa.”

“Haha.”

Benjamin and Rebecca enjoyed the meal together in a cave with a cold but comfortable atmosphere.

They toured throughout the Mabel fort and took pictures together. There were no animals other than a few birds, but the visuals from there were quite stunning as the fort was built on top of a mountain. They climbed the famous Mabel hill that had 777 steep steps to the top. Rebecca went three-fourths on her feet, and Benjamin carried her in arms for the rest, embarrassing her quite so much with his overly enthusiastic action. From the top of the Mabel hill, the whole city was up for view. There were stone benches, so they sat there. She prepared fresh lemon water with salt, sugar, and a little bit of grated chili mixed and shaken well. He drank it without a problem, but it was too spicy for her. Her tongue and mouth were on fire. Luckily, she brought some chocolates and kept raking through her bag. “Where are the chocolates? I’m sure I put them in.” “Here, have some cold water.” He offered her a water bottle. She hastily had a few gulps and that didn’t help much. He gave her the sugar packet, but she looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Toss some of it in your mouth,” he said. “It will help.” She quickly poured into her mouth all that was left in the packet. In a few seconds, the fire in her mouth began to subside. Her eyes were still watery, and her mouth was still wet. The expression she made was just too much for Benjamin. He grabbed her cheeks with both hands and pulled them like he was dealing with a child. Rebecca peered at him, wondering what he was doing. “Sorry,” he let go of her cheeks, “I couldn’t control myself.”

“Sugar really helped,” Rebecca exhaled from her mouth repeatedly. “How come I never knew about this? Chocolates are made of sugar, too.” “If you ask me, you should have just licked your lips, ” Benjamin opined. “They store the sweetest honey in the world. It would have instantly ended your suffering.” Rebecca gave him an icy look. “Your descriptions are really getting out of hand with every passing day.” “The path of true love never runs smooth,” Benjamin bitterly said, “but I shall overcome all obstacles in time.”

“What the heck are you talking about?”

Just then, three people arrived at the top of Mabel hill.
