Chapter 264


    Chapter 264Lucian frowned in frustration as he found the shovel extremely unwieldy.While struggling


    with it, he felt Roxanne’s gentle gaze on him and looked up in response.As their eyes met, Roxanne


    quickly retracted her gaze and put on a neutral expression.Lucian frowned when he saw her response,


    but whatever frustration he had earlier seemed to have vanishedpletely. He then turned toward a


    staff and said, “Excuse me, I’m having some difficulty using this. Could you please show me how to use


    it?” The staff had been observing him from the side for quite some time. He had wanted to tell Lucian


    that he was doing it wrong but held himself back when he saw how intimidating Lucian looked.Seeing


    as Lucian had asked him for assistance, he quickly stepped forward to perform a quick


    demonstration.Even Lucian chuckled in amusement when he saw the staff’s technique and realized


    how funny he looked earlier.yvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

    Having learned the proper way to use a shovel, they were able to speed up the process of filling up the


    holes significantly.The five of them then worked together to finish nting the saplings. The three kids


    would chat with Roxannefrom time to time while Lucian watchedon quietly from the side.“Are you guys


    a family?” the staff askedcuriously when he saw them having a great time together.Both Roxanne and


    Lucian froze when they heard that.“Why do you ask?” Lucian asked before Roxanne could say


    anything.Not only did he not deny that staff’s statement, but he’d also give the staff the wrong idea with


    that question of his!Roxanne frowned in displeasure at the thought of that.“Well, I just thought you all


    looked a lot like a family. On top of that, these three kids look just like you two,” the staff replied without


    giving it much thought.Whatever displeasure Roxanne felt had turned into uneasiness in an instant.She


    really wanted to keep it a secret, but Archie and Benny did look a lot like Lucian. However, the


    resemnce wasn’t that obvious as they were still very young, so Lucian didn’t notice it at all.As such,


    she was afraid that Lucian would pay more attention to Archie and Benny after hearing the staff’s


    comment and finding out about their true identities.Lucian arched an eyebrow and stared at the kids in


    response. While they did look a little simr to each other, he didn’t think much about it.Since all three


    of them were Roxanne’s children, it wasmon for kids to take after their mother’s appearance.“You


    guys sure make a lovely family!” the staff eximed when he saw that Lucian didn’t deny it.Surely


    enough, Lucian wasn’t about to deny that statement either.Roxanne snapped out of her train of thought


    and told the staff coldly, “I’m afraid you’ve gotten the wrong idea. We’re not a family. We just happened


    to be put on the same team because the kids are close friends.”The staff was shocked by her


    exnation. “Is that so? My apologies for making such an assumption. I just thought you guys were a


    family because you were all getting along so well…”“That’s all right. I just wanted to clear up the


    misunderstanding. That’s all,” Roxanne said with a forced smile.The staff nodded profusely in


    response.Lucian had a gloomy look in his eyes as he stared at Roxanne from the side.
