Chapter 1349


    Lucian could tell Roxanne only had the children''s best interests at heart, so he did not force her. “Let''s


    go.”


    The children lowered their arms slowly upon hearing his voice and studied Roxanne with surreptitious


    smiles.


    Although they had covered their eyes earlier, their ears had remained open, and they had heard it all.


    Mommy promised to wear a dress like this only for Daddy. Does that mean Mommy has him in her


    heart? No, Mommy has always been thinking of Daddy. She was only forced to reject his proposal


    because of Grandma.


    Archie''s and Benny''s smiles faded a little when they thought of that.


    A secondter, they were swept off their feet into their father''s embrace.


    The boys froze in surprise before catching sight of the ocean in the distance, and their faces lit up once


    more.

    With Roxanne leading Este by the hand, the five of them sauntered along the beach.


    Tired of being carried too long, the boys became so restless and bored that they struggled to free


    themselves from Lucian''s arms.


    Amodating their wishes, Lucian ced them on the beach, and the children chased each other


    into the distance.


    Feeling a little worried, Roxanne strode after them.


    Lucian jogged along, but at the thought of something, he slowed to a stroll in their wake.


    A twinkle appeared in Lucian''s eyes as he watched Roxanne y with the children. He fished out his


    phone and took some photos of them.


    Remembering how much she enjoyed taking pictures of the children thest time they went on


    vacation, he felt a responsibility to document the children''s growth.


    Although she had never mentioned it, Lucian knew she would love to be in the children''s lives.


    However, there was never anybody else to take her ce behind the camera, which resulted in her


    absence in the photographs.


    Roxanne had barely spent any time with the children before she excused herself.


    As much as she wanted to continue ying with them, the activity caused her to bend over, drawing


    her already ufortable undergarments tighter around her skin.


    She was worried that the delicates would wear themselves out if she kept going.


    Blushing profusely, she removed herself from the children''spany with a shifty smile and said, “I''m a


    little tired. You guys y among yourselves.”


    To her relief, the children did not ask any questions.


    They wanted their parents to spend some alone time together.


    “What''s wrong? Are you unwell?”


    Lucian put aside his phone at her approach, rmed by her peculiar expression.


    His gaze did not so much as leave her figure when he was taking photographs earlier, and he noticed


    she would make an odd gesture now and then. After bending over, she would straighten up almost


    instinctively. It happened enough times to rouse his suspicion.


    I wonder if she''s feeling unwell.


    Roxanne''s cheeks turned even redder. “I''m fine...”


    I can''t tell Lucian he bought me undersized underwear!


    Just the thought of it made Roxanne grimace with embarrassment.


    Frowning with worry, Lucian touched her forehead under the assumption of her being feverish but did


    not detect anything unusual.


    “You''re not having a fever. What could it be?”


    Roxanne bit her lip, too embarrassed to speak.


    Lucian was really worried. “Let''s call it a day. We''ll stop by the hospital for a check-up.”
