Ultimately, they were children. Despite what happened earlier, Benny returned to his happy self after playing with the dolphins. Seeing it was almost time, the staff in front reminded, “Mr. Farwell, it’s time to return.”
Lucian gave him a brief answer and turned to the children standing on the deck. “Come here. It’s time to go back.” However, the children still continued patting the dolphins’ heads, reluctant to leave.
Seeing that, Lucian frowned. He had no idea how to get them to come back.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was amused to see Lucian’s troubled looks. She stepped forward and said gently, “We’re going back now. Let’s say goodbye to the dolphins.”
With that, she held the children’s wrist. Only then did the children return to reality and wave at the dolphins reluctantly. “We’re going back! Goodbye!”
As if understanding their words, the dolphins leaped into the air one by one. When Archie and Benny were waving at the dolphins, they felt a wet and slippery feeling on their faces.
The children were taken aback for a moment, and they stared at the two dolphins that had just returned to the sea in surprise.
They had been trying hard to get a kiss from the dolphins.
Never did they expect the dolphins to suddenly give them one when they were about to leave.
“It looks like the dolphins like both of you too. All right, say goodbye to them. We’ll come back to visit them again next time,” said Roxanne with a smile.
The children nodded, waving enthusiastically. “Goodbye! We’ll come back to see all of you again!”
They kept looking back as they returned to their seats. However, nothing appeared from the waters, as if the dolphins never existed in the first place.
The children could not help but feel a little disappointed. Suddenly, they saw some dolphins constantly leaping from the waters on both sides of the yacht as if they were sending them off.
Finally, smiles appeared on the children’s faces. “These dolphins will still follow us for some distance. You still have time to say your goodbyes to them,” said the staff with a smile.
The children nodded happily and fixed their gazes on the dolphins swimming beside the yacht. As the yacht traveled further across the sea, the number of dolphins reduced.
The children’s faces, too, were slowly shrouded with disappointment. They had not transitioned out of their emotions by the time they arrived ashore.
Sensing the children’s emotions, Roxanne patted their heads and took out her camera to show them the pictures she took just now. “Don’t be sad, okay? Look.. The dolphins are still with you, aren’t they?”
The children craned their necks to glimpse at the picture. Seeing it was a picture of them playing with the dolphins, they finally smiled.
At the same time, Lucian’s expression relaxed when he saw the pictures on the camera. “Mommy, we must go back to see them next time!” Benny gave Roxanne a serious look.
Laughing, Roxanne promised, “Okay. I’ll definitely bring you back next time.” The boys were not the only ones who liked it there. She, too, loved the view of the sea.
After going through the pictures for some time, Roxanne put away the camera and suggested to Lucian, “Let’s go back first. The kids need to get changed.”
The children were drenched from playing with the dolphins. Moreover, the sun was setting, and the sea breeze was a little chilly.
Roxanne was worried that the children might catch a cold. Lucian nodded indifferently. Hence, both of them brought the children back to the hotel.
