The More the Merrier

Chapter 1007

The packed plaza made for a festive atmosphere.

Earlier, Darius had only brought the close relatives to receive Benjamin and his group. As for the rest of the guests, they were all waiting in the plaza.

Meanwhile, Arissa was in awe at the number of people gathered. She had already found the earlier crowd to be big. Little did she expect to find even more people here.

“Are you surprised?” Benjamin asked in amusement when he noticed her reaction.

Arissa glanced at him. “A little.”

With his lips curling slightly, Benjamin tightened his grasp on her as he whispered, “All you need to do is maintain a polite smile and leave the rest to me.”

When Arissa shot him a look of surprise, he cocked a brow in response. “Do you not believe me?”

Arissa was amused. “Of course I do!”

Benjamin's gaze became more intent when he saw the vibrant smile on her face. “Have you lost your courage? Why are you cowed with so few people around?”

The speechless Arissa felt her lips twitch. What does he mean by a few? There are more than a thousand people gathered here! Does he think everyone has this many relatives? Besides, I'm not used to being stared at by so many people.
