Chapter 1283


    In the end, the woman epted the money under Roxanne’s reassurance. She also deleted Lucian’s WhatsApp in front of


    Roxanne.


    Lucian raised his eyebrows but kept quiet.


    It was not until they got on the roller coaster that Roxanne realized the woman was afraid Roxanne would mind it if she did not


    delete Lucian’s WhatsApp.


    Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the staff had helped them with their seatbelts and done a double check.


    The roller coaster then started to move.


    “Good luck, Mommy!”


    “Good luck, Ms. Jarvis!”


    The three children’s shouts of good luck could be heard outside the fence.


    Roxanne turned to smile at the children as she slowly rxed.


    As the roller coaster gained speed, it went higher up the slope. It was only then that Roxanne started to feel scared.


    They were also seated in the first row.


    The people behind them were shouting their lungs out. Roxanne felt her throat tighten in fear, and her breath caught in her

    Just as she felt she was about to suffocate, Lucian reached over and gripped her hand tightly.


    Roxanne slowly rxed as soon as she felt his presence and breathed in and out at a steady pace.


    She instinctively turned to look at the person beside her.


    People behind them screamed, and some were even cursing, yet Lucian remained calm and expressionless. If it weren''t for the


    rise and fall of his chest, Roxanne would have thought the person beside her was not real.


    Roxanne could not help butugh after seeing his calm demeanor. She felt herself rx and started to scream alongside the


    people behind her at the thrill of the ride.


    Lucian loosened his grip on her hand. A smile slowly made its way onto his lips as he heard her scream without holding back.


    As the roller coaster came to a stop, Roxanne felt breathless from all the screaming. When she stood up, her vision turned ck


    momentarily, and she almost fell forward.


    Luckily, Lucian was able to reach out and grab her in time before she made a fool out of herself.


    He held onto her as they walked out of the fenced area and made their way toward the three children waiting at the ride’s exit.


    The kids hurried over when they saw Lucian and Roxannee out.


    Noticing Roxanne’s condition, they were worried. “Mommy, are you okay?”


    Roxanne slowly caught her breath and smiled before nodding. “I’m fine.”


    She then turned to look at the expressionless person beside her and could not help but chuckle. “I want to go on it a few more


    times!”


    The children did not know what Roxanne wasughing about and assumed that the roller coaster was very enjoyable.


    Benny balled his hands into fists. “When | grow up, I''ll go on the roller coaster many times!”


    Archie held onto Benny’s hand and said, “I''ll go with you!”


    Este joined in on the fun. “I want to go too!”


    Archie and Benny replied in unison, “Sure, but you have to sit at the back!”


    The children could not stop chattering among themselves. A smile appeared on Roxanne’s lips at how innocent they were.


    Lucian nced at the three children before shifting his gaze to Roxanne.


    Although Roxanne had said she was fine, her physiological reactions betrayed her as she still looked pale and ufortable.


    “I''ll go get us something to drink. Don’t go anywhere,” Lucian said in a deep voice.


    The children nodded obediently at him in response.


    Roxanne also subconsciously nodded.


    It was not until Lucian had left that she realized he was treating her like a kid.


    She could not help butugh at the realization.


    Although the children did not understand why Roxanne was smiling, they followed suit and grinned.


    They smiled andughed together as they talked about the roller coaster.
