Meanwhile, Roxanne was getting impatient after waiting for a long time with Archie and Estella. However, she had no choice but to wait in distress because she was worried about Archie and Estella whenever she recalled Lucian’s words.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Roxanne frowned and instantly picked up the call without hesitation. “We found Benny. He’s watching the band’s performance. I’ve already instructed someone to keep an eye on him. Come over.” Lucian’s deep voice sounded.
Roxanne felt relieved after hearing that. She immediately expressed her gratitude. “Thank you. I’ll be there immediately.”
On the other end of the line, Lucian grunted in response before hanging up the call and hurrying to Benny’s location first.
“Have they found Benny?” Archie asked carefully after taking in his mother’s expression.
Roxanne nodded slightly and flashed a reassuring smile at him.
Archie appeared more agitated than his mother. “Let’s hurry up and find Benny! He’s alone. He must be scared out of his wits!”
Archie tugged at Roxanne’s hand as he spoke.
Roxanne was eager to check on Benny’s condition too, but she did not forget Archie and Estella’s presence as she reminded, “You two must hold my hands tightly later. Don’t wander off and get lost like Benny.”
Archie and Estella agreed obediently.
Only then did Roxanne lead them toward the crowd.
The venue of the band’s performance was easy to find, but it was a challenge to reach there because of the dense crowd. With much effort, Roxanne finally pushed her way through the throng.
Lucian was waiting for their arrival at the outer edge of the crowd. He hastily strode forward in Roxanne’s direction when he saw her bringing Archie and Estella over. Then he reached out to hold Estella’s hand.
This time, Estella did not refuse him and compliantly held his hand.
“Where’s Benny?” Archie gazed at Lucian in perturbation.
Lucian gestured for them to look at the band.
Roxanne and the two kids saw that Benny had taken over the drummer’s position. The latter was focusing on hitting the drums, seemingly in the groove, while wearing a cool facial expression.
The people in the surroundings were engaged in a heated discussion about Benny.
“Where did this child come from? Is he the missing child the resort staff is looking for? How can he be so good at playing the drums at such a young age?”.
“He’s so cute and cool. I wonder whose child is this? His parents are so blessed!”
Compliments about Benny reverberated in the air.
Roxanne’s tense emotion gradually relaxed when she looked at Benny’s serious demeanor while listening to the praises from the crowd. She even felt a hint of contentment rose within her.
Others might not know it, but Roxanne was well aware that Archie and Benny were much smarter than their peers since they were little.
Archie and Benny also had plenty of hobbies.
Roxanne had always allowed her children to do as they pleased, sending them to any lessons they were interested in.
Benny had started learning to play the drums at three years old.
The music instructor had commended Benny for having talent for playing the drums a few months into the course.
In fact, that was the first time Roxanne had seen Benny collaborating with a band, and that was also when she truly realized his capabilities.
Onstage, all the other members of the band were regarding Benny with an astonished expression too.
They had caught sight of Benny observing their performance, and the latter had been staring intently at the drum set.
The members of the band thought Benny was adorable, and they were merely putting on a casual performance that day, so they invited Benny up on the stage to be their drummer.
Assuming Benny was just keen to try out the drums in curiosity, the band members had already mentally prepared themselves to be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Benny was able to keep up with their tempo. Although there were some minor errors, his standards far surpassed the band members’ expectations.
Following a drum beat by Benny, the fireworks show officially began.
