Not exactly a strong swimmer, Roxanne did just enough for the children's entertainment. Then, under the guidance of the crew, she returned to the surface to take a quick shower. Subsequently, she changed back into her own clothes before she made her way out.
Led by Lucian, the children were already waiting for her outside the changing room.
Once they caught sight of her, they eagerly jumped at her, exclaiming, “You looked so nice just now, Mommy!”
Mesmerized, Estella looked fixedly at Roxanne.
A genial Roxanne patted her children's heads. “Thank you for your compliments, Darlings.”
“You looked very lovely indeed.” Lucian's low voice rang out next to her ear.
Roxanne was taken by surprise as she had nearly forgotten about him, and for a moment, she was at a loss for how to react.
It was fortunate then that Lucian was not expecting a response from her. “Take care of the kids. I have to step away for a bit.”
Regaining her composure, Roxanne nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon gaining her consent, Lucian turned around and left.
There was a hint of suspicion in Roxanne's eyes as she watched him depart, and she wondered what he was leaving to do.
Lucian only returned after she took the children for a second go around at the marine park.
By that time, the sky had darkened, and the children were all hungry.
Recalling the mention of a restaurant in the vicinity in the booklet, Roxanne proceeded to take them there.
A waiter approached to serve them the moment they stepped through the doors.
Seeing that they had arrived together, he naturally assumed that they were a family. “Welcome. We have a family suite available, so please follow me.”
