While Roxanne was bandaging him, she could sense Lucian’s gaze on her. However, Roxanne did not know what was on his mind. I wonder if he’s thinking about what happened last night…
Roxanne could not help but recall the bottle of red wine that was almost finished the night before, and that made her feel perplexed. As such, the bandaging she did for Lucian was a little rough around the edges.
“Are you done?” asked Lucian when he saw that she was not doing anything else. It was only then Roxanne returned to her senses and maintained a calm face. “It’s almost done.”
Lucian took a look at the bandage on his hand, raised his brows, and said, “Ms. Jarvis, it seems that you are very selective when it comes to your medical skill, aren’t you?”
Roxanne was startled by what he said. She followed his gaze and noticed that her bandaging was indeed horribly done.
For a moment, Roxanne could not help but blush. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
Thankfully, all Lucian did was teased her once, and he did not pursue the matter again. “It’s about time. Why don’t you check with them and see where they will like to go?”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief before getting up and going over to the children. They were still deciding where to go.
“Haven’t all of you made up your mind yet? Should I offer some suggestions?” asked Roxanne gently.
The children were so engrossed in their planning that they did not realize she was next to them until they heard her voice. Immediately, Estella inquired about Lucian’s injury, “Ms. Jarvis, how’s Daddy?”
At the thought of her messy bandaging, Roxanne smiled and assured her, “It’s just a minor injury. I have already bandaged it.”
The children then turned and looked at Lucian with concern. Lucian nodded at them. The children were finally at ease and told Roxanne about their conflicts.
Estella wanted to go out to the sea and watch the dolphins.
However, the boys were worried about the dangers out at the sea after what had happened earlier on. They suggested picking up seashells and making craftwork out of them.
The three children could not come to an agreement and chose to discuss other options.
Roxanne could not help but hesitate when she heard about their dispute.
Logically, what all three children wanted was not contradictory. They could always go out to the sea before coming back to make their craftwork.
However, like Archie and Benny, she was also worried about the danger out at the sea.
After all, Estella was very important to Lucian, and Roxanne did not want to be held accountable.
So, Roxanne turned and looked at Lucian to seek his opinion.
Naturally, Lucian heard the children’s conversation as well. He met Roxanne’s eyes and walked up to them. Rubbing the children’s heads, he said, “Since all of you. have activities that you want to do, then we shall do all of them.”
Both Archie and Benny looked at him in doubt. “But, will it be dangerous for Essie to go out to the sea?”
Lucian knew that the boys were scared because of what happened just now. “It won’t be. All you need to do is sit down on the yacht. Furthermore, I will be there to protect all of you and so will the crew members.”
The boys looked at him and did not know whether to believe him or not.
In truth, they also wanted to go out to the sea. After all, they had never done so in their lives. They only decided to turn it down for the safety of Estella.
Since their daddy was all right with it, they agreed too.
