The kids saw the intimate gesture between the two adults and exchanged cheeky glances with each other. However, when the couple was walking toward them, they pretended not to notice and continued talking about the rides that they were going to take at the amusement park later.
A while later, everyone got into the car, looking forward to the rest of the day. Lucian took them to a diner for breakfast before heading to the amusement park..
As they had arrived during peak hour, the amusement park was extremely crowded.
While navigating their way past the other patrons, Roxanne could not help but be reminded of their previous trip to the hot spring resort, where Benny got lost. Suddenly, she was filled with apprehension.
Sensing the woman’s unease, Lucian squeezed her hand and said, “If you are worried, I can get them to clear the area.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne returned to her senses and shook her head. With a faint smile on her face, she replied, “It’s okay. The kids won’t have as much fun if you do that.”
Benny knew that his mother was worried about him and lifted his arm to show her the smartwatch on his wrist. “Mommy, it’s all right. We are all wearing. smartwatches. If you can’t find us, you can always give us a call!”
Archie and Estella chimed in and said, “Yup! We will stick close to you.”
Roxanne smiled after hearing the kids’ assurances. Stroking their heads affectionately, she said, “I just want you guys to have fun.”
With that, the little ones headed to their first attraction. Roxanne accompanied them on a few kiddy rides, but the kids were still not satisfied.
“Mommy, let’s take the roller coaster!” Benny’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as he watched. the roller coaster whizz past him. Roxanne hesitated before replying, “You are too young to be on a roller coaster. Let’s go for something else instead.”
After she finished saying that, Lucian reminded in a deep voice, “I saw a roller coaster for children just now. They can try that.”
Just as Roxanne was about to agree, Benny rejected that proposition. “That’s not exciting at all! We want to try this one!”
Roxanne was at a loss as to what to do. The children were indeed below the age limit for roller coaster rides. Even if Lucian somehow managed to get therm on, Roxanne would still be worried.
While she was pondering over a way to convince the kids to give up the idea, Archie suddenly spoke.
“Mommy, if we are not allowed to take the ride, can you and Mr. Farwell go for it on our behalf instead? Then we can treat it as we have already tried it!”
Benny and Estella nodded in agreement. Hearing that, Roxanne subconsciously glanced at the man beside her.
She did not mind doing that if it would make the kids happy, but… Lucian did not seem like the sort of person who would be interested in amusement park rides.
In fact, she was unable to imagine him on a roller coaster.
“Mr. Farwell!”
“Daddy!” The little ones started coaxing the man when they realized that their target should be Lucian instead. Roxanne did not want to put Lucian in a tight spot and was about to reject the suggestion on his behalf when Lucian suddenly said to the kids with a serious expression, “No problem. But the three of you have to be good and wait here. Don’t run about or go off with strangers, okay?”
Hearing the man’s positive reply, the children jumped for joy and replied sweetly, “We will wait here patiently!”
Then, they started urging Roxanne and Lucian to join the line for the ride. Since Lucian had already agreed, Roxannel could only keep quiet and allow Lucian to take her hand and lead her toward the queue.
