Chapter 541 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. | 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.” Roxanne was rightly astounded when she heard that.

A family suite... Apparently, he’s mistaken.

As they had already arrived outside the suite, it occurred to Roxanne that it might come across as a little rude to abruptly attempt to explain her way out of it. Hence, she held her silence.

The elegant interiors of the suite were also done up in the same style as the rest of the marine park, and the room itself was furnished with some toys that were suitable for the children to play with.

Once inside, the children made a dash for the toys, leaving the two grownups behind.

After she took a quick look over to ascertain the safety of the space, Roxanne left the children to play on their own while she went on to order food alongside Lucian.

Shortly after, their orders were tabled, and the children were obediently back in their seats.

“You guys must be here on a family vacation, yes?” The waiter did not leave immediately, and instead, enthusiastically forwarded some recommendations. “A fireworks show is going to be staged here tonight, so be sure to go and check it out if you guys are interested.” Roxanne was about to explain that they were not a family when the rapturous cheers from the young ones cut her off.

“Fireworks, Mommy! We have to go and see it!” Benny grabbed her sleeve with eyes aglow.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne had no choice but to choke back the words she had back down her own throat.

“Your kids are so adorable. That fireworks display tonight will be perfect for you and your kids!” The waiter beamed in a way that was almost emotional.

Estella, too, regarded her own father imploringly, to which Lucian responded with a slight nod. “Thank you. We'll consider it.” His demeanor was almost tantamount to an admission that they belonged to the same family Roxanne frowned. She was about to say something in reply, but the friendly waiter had already stepped away.

“Come on, Mommy! Let's go see it!” Archie begged.

Roxanne had only kept quiet because the waiter had mistaken them for a family. With the departure of the latter went any chance for clarification, her silence evolved into consent toward her children’s request.
