Chapter 669 Awkward
Not long after, the concert officially began. The curtains were slowly pulled open, and soothing music could be heard.
The theme of the concert was western symphony. There were a variety of instruments on the stage. All musicians, smiling at the conductor, were dressed in suits and had their hair combed neatly.
It was visually pleasing. Once the curtains were completely drawn, the conductor raised and dropped his hand, and the performance started gently.
Roxanne looked at the stage intently, her attention captured by the harmonious music. Although Lucian was staring at the stage, his attention was on the woman next to him.
Watching as she listened to the music attentively, Lucian creased his brows, a touch of helplessness crossing his heart. According to Jonathan, watching a concert was the best time to do something that would bring them closer to each other.
However, Roxanne was so absorbed in the performance that he couldn’t just interrupt her abruptly. Just as he was wondering what to do, someone tugged his suit from behind.
Lucian turned back to look at the children. “I want to drink some water, Mr. Farwell,” Benny whispered next to his ear. Lucian nodded slightly and poured the boy a cup of water with the jug on the table.
Estella also requested Roxanne to do the same. As most of Roxanne’s attention was still on the stage, she grabbed the jug without thinking upon hearing Estella’s request.
To her surprise, a large hand suddenly covered hers before she could grab the jug. Roxanne could obviously feel a pause in the movement of that hand. However, that hand didn’t move away even after a while.
There were only five people at the table, so it wasn’t hard to guess who that hand belonged to. Roxanne withdrew her gaze from the stage, then turned to look at Lucian warily.
When he met her eyes, Lucian regarded her apologetically before letting go of his hand. He, too, was surprised when he suddenly touched her hand. However, it didn’t take long for him to realize the children were creating yet another opportunity for him.
Lucian found it amusing when he thought about the effort the children were putting in for him to get closer to Roxanne. Thus, in order not to let their hard work go to waste, he didn’t let go of her hand for a long while.
The children’s eyes sparkled with joy when the adults touched each other.
However, they were disappointed when those hands moved away so quickly afterward. Pursing their lips, they stared at Roxanne’s back bitterly.
Estella had long since known that her father wanted to pursue Roxanne, while Archie and Benny had figured that out themselves. Knowing that their father wanted to pursue their mother again, they, too, tried to help.
Yet, the one thing they didn’t expect was how difficult it was for their father pursue their mother.
Panic struck the children when they saw their mother looking at their father warily.
Roxanne had no idea that the children were all on Lucian’s side. She only found their accidental contact earlier a little odd. In fact, she even suspected that Lucian had done it on purpose.
However, she quickly abandoned that thought because, based on what she knew about his personality, he wouldn’t do something as awkward as that to chase after her.
She concluded in her mind that it was simply an accident. Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, she poured Estella a cup of water and handed it to her.
