Chapter 564

Chapter 564

Roxanne made herself comfortable in the seat, not daring to face the crowd's stare. She kept her eyes lowered and thankedLucian, who did not respond. Instead, he stared at her silently before returning to the seat in front of them.

The diving instructor, who accompanied Roxanne into the water, climbed up the steps skilfully and returned the camera to her.When he was about to help her remove the swimming gear, he subconsciously glanced at Lucian, worried that the latter mightget angry at him for getting to near to Roxanne.

Thankfully, Lucian showed no response this time.

Only then did the instructor carry on with his task.

“Mommy, why did you go down there for so long?” Benny asked worriedly, looking at Roxanne.Roxanne, who had already remo‘the diving gears with the help of the instructor, appeared pale.The boys could not help but worry at the sight of their mother's pale face.

With a smile on her face, Roxanne comforted, “The scenery down there was really beautiful, so | wanted to stay there a littlelonger to enjoy it. Sorry for making all of you worry.”

The boys looked doubtful. “But you look sick.”

The boys even guessed Roxanne had encountered some trouble when she was underwater but did not dare to tell them for fearof making them worry,

1 WCRoxanne sensed the children were worried. She shot the instructor a helpless glance, hoping he could help her out a little.

The instructor understood the meaning of her gaze, but he looked at Lucian when he spoke. “Mrs. Farwell is really talented indiving. Nothing happened when we were underwater. She just wanted to stay there for a little while longer. | only agreed afterconfirming her condition. She probably looks weak now because she has used up too much energy.”

Due to Lucian‘s attitude earlier, the instructor thought Roxanne was Lucian‘s rumored fiancée. Hence, the instructor addressedher as “Mrs. Farwell.”

As soon as he finished explaining, the children heaved a sigh of relief. After that, they noticed the way the instructor addressedRoxanne, and they turned to look at the two adults in unison.

Roxanne looked grimmer, and she frowned, wanting to explain herself.

Suddenly, Lucian‘s voice rang out before she could speak. “Got it. It's not a problem as long as she’s fine. You did well.”The instructor smiled, totally unaware of what he had done wrong.

Having heard Lucian‘s words, Roxanne frowned deeper, and she turned to face the former.

If Lucian had said those words last night, she probably would have said nothing in response.

However, after last night's incident, Roxanne could not help but feel insulted by Lucian tacitly accepting the form of address.

Lucian, however, met her gaze nonchalantly and breathed, “We're taking the children out to play today. Let's not be toocalculative oyer such trivial matters. I'm sure you don't want the children to be unhappy, right?”

At first, Roxanne was stunned.

So, “Mrs. Farwell” is a small matter to him?

Even so, she had to agree that Lucian‘s concern was right.

If she were to expose the instri

‘s mistake, the rest of the trip might turn into an awkward one.

Telling the instructor the truth at that moment would only make him feel uneasy.

After mulling it over, Roxanne retracted her gaze, pretending to not have heard what the instructor saidSeeing Roxanne complying reluctantly, Lucian raised a brow and smiled with satisfaction.

The children, who had been observing the duo, were confused when they saw Lucian‘s expression.They had a feeling that Lucian‘s explanation earlier was just to pacify Roxanne.

Daddy's so powerful. How would the staff dare to spoil our trip?
