As Roxanne’s ears burned, she pretended to stay calm and nudged Madilyn back before looking around.As Roxanne’s ears burned, she pretended to stay calm and nudged Madilyn back before looking around.

“Where is he?”The “he” in her question was self-explanatory.Madilyn flashed a meaningful smile. “It seems to me that you’re worried about him too.”

Jolted by her friend’s words, Roxanne lowered her voice. “It was just a casual question. Didn’t you mention that the helicopterbelonged to him?”

Knowing Roxanne like the back of her hand, Madilyn could see how embarrassed the former was. Hence, she decided to stopputting her in a spot. “Don’t be anxious. I’m bringing you to see him, aren’t |?”

The frowning Roxanne retorted, “Who says I’m anxious? |I—”Madilyn burst out in laughter.

The three children, who were engrossed in examining the helicopter’s design, came over curiously upon hearing Madilyn’slaughter.

“Aunt Madilyn, what are you laughing about?”The puzzled Benny tugged at Madilyn’s sleeve.

When she finally forced herself to regain her composure, Madilyn eyed her friend’s reproachful expression before changing thetopic smoothly. “Nothing, really. So, are you enjoying yourselves on the helicopter?”

The topic quickly caught the children’s attention, to which they nodded vigorously. “We are!”At the same time, they divulged Archie’s secret. “Archie says that he wants to buy us a bigger helicopter next time!”Madilyn burst into laughter again at the children’s innocent words. This time, Roxanne couldn’t help but join her.

However, when she saw the rare expression of embarrassment on Archie’s face, Roxanne suppressed her laughter as she gavehis hair a tousle. “You'll definitely be able to do it, Archie. Don’t forget to let me ride in it next time!”

Roxanne’s encouragement brought a smile to Archie’s face as he nodded obediently.

Beaming, Madilyn suggested, “There’s no need to wait till then. Your daddy already has a bigger helicopter. It’s just not suitableto fly within city limits.”

When she asked Lucian for the helicopter, she had overheard Cayden asking the latter which model to deploy.The children’s eyes lit up while their faces glowed with anticipation after hearing Madilyn’s comment.

As for Roxanne, she was shaken to hear the way her friend addressed Lucian. The words caused her heart to suddenly tense upout of habit.

Madilyn clarified, “Those are not my words. Mr. Farwell acknowledged the children on the internet himself.”Only then did Roxanne regain her senses and smile awkwardly at the children.

Truth be told, Archie and Benny were the first to replace out about it.

That was why they weren’t surprised by Madilyn’s revelation.

Whenever Madilyn was around, the children were always in good hands, for they got along very well with her.

After a short journey in the air, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of a hotel.

Madilyn stopped fooling around with the children and led them down.The moment they emerged from the helicopter, they spotted Lucian standing on the landing pad waiting for them.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, while his hair was strewn all over his face from the gale emitted by the helicopterrotors. As he stared intently at the cabin door, his eyes were brimming with concern and guilt.

“I've brought them back to you. You had better not cause them any more trouble!” Madilyn warned.However, her words fell on deaf ears, for all Lucian could focus on was Roxanne and the children.“Are you all right?”

He strode up to her and scrutinized her quickly.

After throwing Madilyn a glance, Roxanne returned her attention to the nervous Lucian. She maintained an indifferent expressiondespite her embarrassment. “I’m fine. It’s all thanks to Madilyn that we managed to make it here. However—”

“| just brought up the rough idea. It was Mr. Farwell who thought of all the details.”

Madilyn didn’t dare take any credit.
