After lunch, the children made a fuss about going out to play. Roxanne knew staying in the hotel room was boring for them, so she agreed to take them out.
The resort they stayed at was famous in Horington. Roxanne didn’t forget to grab a travel booklet when they passed by the front desk. The children were fighting to look at it.
Roxanne gave them the booklet and left them to decide on the destination. “Let’s visit the marine park.”.
The children were still mulling over the options when Lucian’s deep voice sounded from behind them.
Roxanne and the children were stunned by the sudden suggestion.
It was the first time Lucian had spoken since morning, and it was to give them suggestions on where to go.
Roxanne snapped out of her daze and eyed Lucian in confusion.
Meeting her gaze, Lucian said casually, “I’ve been here before. The marine park is a good place for them to visit. Don’t they like looking at fish?”
Roxanne was stunned again.
So he noticed the children admiring the fish in the fish tank when he went to the front desk to reserve the room this morning?
Lucian looked down at the children, waiting for them to decide silently.
The children flipped through the booklet and turned to the page with information about the marine park.
After a short discussion, the children came to a decision. “Let’s visit the marine park, then!”
Roxanne agreed and brought the children to the marine park.
As the resort was right by the beach, the size of the marine park was massive and so was its fish collection,
The children had an affinity for anything colorful. They were so amazed at the fish in the viewing area that they couldn’t bring themselves to walk away.
Estella’s eyes sparkled as she watched the beluga whales swimming in the water through the glass. Hoping to feel the elegant creature, she touched the glass with her fingers.
As though the beluga whales could sense her intention, they swam to her side when they saw her fingers.
Suddenly, three beluga whales were swimming in front of her.
Estella’s eyes brightened, and she couldn’t help plastering her face to the glass.
The next second, a beluga whale landed a kiss on her cheek through the glass.
Seeing that, Roxanne reached for her phone and snapped a photo of Estella with a smile.
Lucian’s heart warmed when she took in Estella’s and Roxanne’s expressions.
Benny was fascinated by Estella’s interaction with the whale.
When he finally withdrew his gaze and turned to the tank in front of him, he saw a
shark swimming toward him with a wide open jaw.
Benny screamed in fright, turned around, and ran away, hiding behind Lucian, who was closest to him, his fingers gripping the hem of Lucian’s shirt.
Lucian’s heart lurched when he heard Benny’s scream. When he turned to look, he saw Benny racing toward him in fear.
Amusement flashed across Lucian’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything and let Benny continue to use him as a shield.
Once Benny calmed down, he belatedly realized that he had hidden behind Lucian and seemed to have heard the man chuckle.
Benny’s cheeks turned red. He instantly released his grip and walked away from Lucian, acting as though nothing had happened.
