It was getting dark by the beach, yet the crowd was getting larger and larger. Roxanne's anxiousness flared as she recalled the incident the night before.
Even though a day had passed, she was still worried when she saw the large crowd. She hurriedly rounded up the kids and left the beach.
Coincidently, it was dinner time. Lucian took them straight to a nearby restaurant.
The kids' pockets were full of sea shells. They emptied their pockets and set all the shells on the table before launching into a debate over who owned the best-looking shell.
Roxanne's eyes softened and laced with amusement as she watched the kids hard selling the shells in their possession.
After a moment, a waiter came to their table with their food. Seeing that, the kids unwillingly kept all their shells.
Both kids and adults were starved after spending the entire afternoon at the beach, so they were silent as they dug into their meals.
After dinner, Roxanne and Lucian took the kids to a craft workshop.
The workshop had a variety of tools and materials to provide their customers with the opportunity to explore their creativity and skills.
Roxanne and the kids sat in a row as they started working on their pieces.
Meanwhile, Lucian sat on the side, waiting for them to finish. He would occasionally help the kids with the polishing or sanding but left the rest to the kids.
Estella stared intently at the first shell she picked up with a frown as though she was waiting for an idea to pop up in her mind.
She wanted to gift the shell to Roxanne but didn't know what she should make.
After contemplating it for a long while, Estella carefully tugged on Lucian's sleeve and yanked him to her station.
Lucian cast the little girl a confused look.
“Daddy.” Estella shot him a pleading look. “I want to give this to Ms. Jarvis as a present, but I don't know what to make.”
