    Chapter 709 Red Light


    The game began with Roxanne and Lucian in the middle and the boys on either side. “Green light... Red light!” Este waited for


    them to take a few steps before suddenly spinning around.


    Although the others stopped in their tracks at once, the two little ones lost their bnce and swayed about for a little bit before


    steadying themselves.


    Fortunately, all Este wanted was for them to all y together. Hence, she did not take issue with it and quickly turned back.


    When the game resumed, Roxanne could not help wondering whether the boys’ excitement was causing them to veer toward the


    center.


    She nced at Archie, who was next to her, helplessly. However, all his attention was on Este standing right in the center. It


    seemed as though he was straying in that direction solely because he was eager to tag Este.


    Seeing that, Roxanne sighed inwardly and moved toward the center to make room for him.


    Meanwhile, Lucian, too, noticed the same thing with Benny. He seems to be behaving oddly, but | can’t quite put my finger on it.


    After all, if he’s so eager to win the game, it''ll make more sense for him to walk forward. Instead, he’s walking sideways like a


    crab and keeps running into me.


    Although Lucian had no idea what Benny was up to, the former still subconsciously took a few steps toward the center to make


    way for thetter.


    Just as Lucian and Roxanne were preupied with staying out of the boys’ way, Este suddenly swung around and called out,


    “Red light!”


    Archie happened to take a step at the same time Este shouted. Losing his bnce, he staggered a little.


    Roxanne frowned, worried there would not be enough space for Archie to regain his bnce. Not even bothering to think about


    whether she would get eliminated from the game, she carefully inched further toward the center to leave him more space.


    However, she stepped on something as she shifted aside, catching her by surprise. Roxanne froze, then looked down


    immediately to see what it was.


    As for Lucian, he had also gotten simrly tricked. He moved inward to let Benny pass, but right after steadying himself, he felt


    someone step on his foot.


    When Lucian lowered his head, he saw Roxanne retracting her leg while looking somewhat embarrassed. With Archie taking up


    all the space on her other side, however, she had nowhere to lower that foot after doing so.


    For a moment, all she could do was stand on one leg awkwardly. She gazed at Este with a helpless expression, desperately


    wishing thetter would quickly turn back around.


    If she doesn’t, | really don’t think | can keep standing like this. Este seemed to have read her mind. Her eyes crinkled as she


    smiled and turned around slowly.


    Roxanne was about to put her foot down when she heard Este’s voice ring out again. “Green light... Red light!” Startled,


    Roxanne could not find anywhere to stand. Her body swayed on the spot before toppling forward.


    Archie, Benny, and Este watched the scene nervously. They were afraid she would really take a fall. At the same time, they


    were worried that Lucian would miss out on the opportunity.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    As she was panicking, Roxanne reached out, wanting to grab something to steady herself. However, as soon as she reached


    out, she remembered they had deliberately chosen to y in an empty space. Hence, there was nothing for her to hold on to.


    She was about to withdraw her hand when arge hand grabbed hers firmly. Immediately after that, she felt herself getting pulled


    into a pair of strong arms. When the children saw Lucian’s swift and natural reaction, they could not help eximing, “Wow!”
