Chapter 670 When she turned back, Roxanne saw Lucian pouring two cups of water and putting one each in front of Archie and Benny.

She was puzzled. Is he doing that because they asked for it, or is it because he wants to relieve the awkwardness from earlier? Just as her mind was still in a chaotic mess, a cup of water suddenly appeared in front of her.

Roxanne came back to her senses and glanced at the person next to her.

Lucian smiled at her mysteriously, then retracted his hand from the cup and turned his attention back to the stage.

After staring at the cup with mixed emotions for a long while, Roxanne thanked him in a small voice. She felt apologetic because she believed she had misunderstood him earlier.

In order to show him that she didn’t hold a grudge, she took a sip of water from the cup he had given her.

The children’s lips quirked up when they saw how the adults interacted. They thought Roxanne had lowered her guard.

When the concert ended, Lucian and Roxanne left the auditorium with the children.

The darkness of night had descended upon the world when they stepped out of the building. Lights of various colors lit up around them, and the square was bustling with people. It was a lively sight.

“Mommy!” Benny pulled his mother’s hand.

Roxanne lowered her head and followed the direction he was pointing at with her eyes. There was a musical fountain not too far from them in the square. It was spraying water to the music, and plenty of children and adults were playing in the water.

Roxanne rarely took the children out at night, so it was their first time seeing that kind of fountain, and they were excited to play with it.

She had planned to return home right after the concert ended because she didn’t want to interact with Lucian too much. But after seeing how excited the children were, she couldn’t bear to just leave.

“Let's play over there!” Benny had already turned his body in the direction of the fountain as he looked at Roxanne.

Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. Turning to Lucian, she said, “I'll bring the boys over there and let them play for a while. You can bring Essie back first, Mr. Farwell. I'll just call for a taxi later.” She had thought Estella disliked crowded places and would obediently follow Lucian back.

To her surprise, the moment she finished her sentence, the girl pulled Lucian’s sleeve. “Daddy, | want to play too!” Roxanne was slightly shocked to see Estella actively wanting to play at a place with many people.

Lucian simply patted the girl's head and agreed. Then he met Roxanne’s eyes and said, “It's rare for Essic to tell me directly where she wants to go and play, so I'm afraid | can’t do what you want, Ms. Jarvis.” With that, he brought Estella and headed toward the fountain.

Roxanne stared at their backs in a daze. Estella seemed exceptionally happy. She was hopping in her princess dress as Lucian held her hand.

When they were halfway to the fountain, Estella lifted her head and said something to Lucian.

Roxanne saw Lucian nodding at the girl, then the girl let go of his hand and sprinted toward her. “Let's go together, Ms. Jarvis!” Before Roxanne could react, Estella grabbed her by the hand and dragged her toward the fountain.

Archie and Benny urged her from behind, “Let's go, Mommy!” As they spoke, they had already run past her and arrived at the fountain. Then they started playing with each other.
