Chapter 1344

Upon seeing the scene before her, Estella knew she couldn’t help and went to call for her mother instead.

When Roxanne returned to her senses and turned to the sea, she saw the boys approaching the ocean.

She saw Benny frowning while looking as though he had lost his soul.

“Archie! Benny!” Furrowing her eyebrows, she chased after them.

She wouldn’t have panicked if they were in a different place because the boys knew how to swim.

However, she had tripped there two days ago, so she knew there were rocks hiding in the water. She couldn’t help but worry.

Estella followed behind her.

Right then, a huge wave rushed straight toward the boys. Roxanne felt her heart tighten. She increased her pace and grabbed the boys in time.

The three of them were drenched in seawater, but not Estella because she was too far behind.

When Benny snapped back to reality, he lowered his head guiltily to avoid looking at Roxanne.

Roxanne tossed the boys to the beach.

In one smooth motion, Benny sat on the ground and flashed a pleasing smile at his mother.

Those not in the know would think they were just playing around.

Lowering his head, Archie apologized, “I’m sorry for not keeping a close eye on Benny, Mommy.”

Roxanne glanced at the sensible Archie before turning to Benny, who was still putting on a pitiful act.

Fury burned in her heart, but she couldn’t bring herself to get angry. “Didn’t I tell you two to stay away from the sea?” Then she sighed resignedly. “This is just great. I didn’t bring any clothes with me.” I thought we were just going to stand on the beach deck. Getting drenched certainly wasn’t something I expected to happen. If my clothes aren’t wet right now, I could’ve bought them new clothes from nearby shops. Now, I can’t even do that.

Just as Roxanne was wondering what to do, Estella called out, “Daddy!”

Roxanne assumed the girl wanted her to ask Lucian for help, so she said, “Daddy still needs to work.

He’s busy.”

Besides, she didn’t want him to know she had secretly brought the children to the beach so soon after he brought her there.

“Daddy!” Abruptly, Estella sprinted past her.

Only then did Roxanne realize Lucian had arrived.

The boys raised their heads and stared at the man.

After patting Estella’s head, he carried her in his arm, approached Roxanne, and asked resentfully, “Why did you only bring the children here?”

Roxanne couldn’t help but feel guilty as she met his eyes. “I thought you were busy working today…” It’s also because I need time to calm down after I rejected his proposal last night.

However, he didn’t give her a chance to breathe. “As busy as I may be, I still have time to spend with you all.” Then he examined her and the boys because they were wet before speaking meaningfully. “Besides, I can’t help but worry when you bring the children to the beach.”

Roxanne blushed as she recalled the kiss they had after she fell that day.

“Mommy’s very good at swimming!” Benny defended. She even went diving when we went on vacation last time!

Just as he ended his sentence, he heard his father chuckle for no apparent reason.

Meanwhile, Roxanne’s face was getting even redder.

When the children saw how their parents were acting, they knew for sure something had happened and that it very likely involved their father bullying their mother.
