We show in this note that in the forcing extension by $Add(\omega,\beth_{\omega})$, the following Ramsey property holds: for any $r\in \omega$ and any $f: \mathbb{R}\to r$, there exists an infinite $X\subset \mathbb{R}$ such that $X+X$ is monochromatic under $f$. We also show the Ramsey statement above is true in $\mathrm{ZFC}$ when $r=2$. This answers two questions by Komj\'ath, Leader, Russell, Shelah, Soukup and Vidny\'anszky.
