After getting some rest, Roxanne finally felt better. She got up to change into some clean clothes. Meanwhile, the yacht had traveled quite a distance.
The staff in front of the yacht reminded, “Children, please pay attention! This is where the dolphins often appear. They’re really friendly and love interacting with people, especially children. Hence, there’s no need to be afraid of them!”
Upon hearing that, the children nodded obediently, with anticipation written all over their faces. “Mommy!” Archie and Benny called out to Roxanne. She whipped her head around in confusion.
“Can you please unbuckle us? We want to play with dolphins,” the boys asked cautiously. Estella, too, looked at her with anticipation
Roxanne’s heart softened incredibly when she met the children’s gazes. However, she hesitated to give an answer when she thought of safety issues.
The boys glanced at each other and then at Lucian in front of them.
Benny promised sweetly, “We’ll be good, and we promise to keep a safe distance. Can we be unbuckled now?”
“Daddy…” Estella gave her father an imploring look.
The children had realized it long ago. Once they were on the sea, Lucian had the final say in everything.
Roxanne, on the other hand, never expected the children to change their target so quickly. A strange feeling flooded her heart as she glanced at Lucian as well.
To her surprise, Lucian merely raised his brow slightly. There were no signs of concern on his face as he said, “I’ll unbuckle all of you as long as you’re not afraid.”
The children nodded vigorously. “We’re not! We want to play with dolphins!”
As soon as they finished their sentence, Lucian got up wordlessly, approached them, and unbuckled the children’s safety buckles.
The moment the children were granted their freedom, they rushed over to the deck. Lucian walked behind them slowly.
Still feeling worried, Roxanne hesitated for a moment before getting to her feet and walking over.
The deck was rather narrow, but the two adults wanted to give the children enough space to stand there. Thus, both of them stood quite close to each other.
From the back, both of them looked like a couple. On top of that, the children’s laughter made them look like a peaceful family.
Roxanne wanted to take a step away when she realized the distance between her and Lucian was getting smaller. However, Lucian grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing? Let go!” Roxanne whispered, worried she would frighten the children.
Lucian frowned and gazed sternly at her. “Don’t move about. It’s dangerous.”
Roxanne was taken aback by Lucian’s expression. Just as she was about to say something. she saw some movements on the surface of the water in the distance.
In the next second, the children cheered, “Dolphins! The dolphins are here!”
Hearing that, Roxanne and Lucian glanced over. Not far away, a pod of dolphins leaped out of the water and went back in with a splash as they swam toward them.
The children waved at the dolphins excitedly. “Hello! We’re here! Come play with us!”
Seeing how the children talking to the dolphins innocently amused Roxanne.
Meanwhile, it was as if the dolphins could understand the children’s words, they suddenly increased their speed and swam over to them.
The children inched forward carefully and looked downward to watch the creatures swimming in the sea.
