Chapter 709 Red Light
The game began with Roxanne and Lucian in the middle and the boys on either
side. “Green light… Red light!” Estella waited for them to take a few steps
before suddenly spinning around.
Although the others stopped in their tracks at once, the two little ones lost their
balance and swayed about for a little bit before steadying themselves.
Fortunately, all Estella wanted was for them to all play together. Hence, she did
not take issue with it and quickly turned back. When the game resumed,
Roxanne could not help wondering whether the boys’ excitement was causing
them to veer toward the center.
She glanced at Archie, who was next to her, helplessly. However, all his
attention was on Estella standing right in the center. It seemed as though he
was straying in that direction solely because he was eager to tag Estella.
Seeing that, Roxanne sighed inwardly and moved toward the center to make
room for him.
Meanwhile, Lucian, too, noticed the same thing with Benny. He seems to be
behaving oddly, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. After all, if he’s so eager to
win the game, it’ll make more sense for him to walk forward. Instead, he’s
walking sideways like a crab and keeps running into me.
Although Lucian had no idea what Benny was up to, the former still
subconsciously took a few steps toward the center to make way for the latter.
Just as Lucian and Roxanne were preoccupied with staying out of the boys’
way, Estella suddenly swung around and called out, “Red light!”
Archie happened to take a step at the same time Estella shouted. Losing his
balance, he staggered a little.
Roxanne frowned, worried there would not be enough space for Archie to regain
his balance. Not even bothering to think about whether she would get eliminated
from the game, she carefully inched further toward the center to leave him more
space.
However, she stepped on something as she shifted aside, catching her by
surprise. Roxanne froze, then looked down immediately to see what it was.
As for Lucian, he had also gotten similarly tricked. He moved inward to let
Benny pass, but right after steadying himself, he felt someone step on his foot.
When Lucian lowered his head, he saw Roxanne retracting her leg while looking
somewhat embarrassed. With Archie taking up all the space on her other side,
however, she had nowhere to lower that foot after doing so.
For a moment, all she could do was stand on one leg awkwardly. She gazed at
Estella with a helpless expression, desperately wishing the latter would quickly
turn back around.
If she doesn’t, I really don’t think I can keep standing like this. Estella seemed to
have read her mind. Her eyes crinkled as she smiled and turned around slowly.
Roxanne was about to put her foot down when she heard Estella’s voice ring
out again. “Green light… Red light!” Startled, Roxanne could not find anywhere
to stand. Her body swayed on the spot before toppling forward.
Archie, Benny, and Estella watched the scene nervously. They were afraid she
would really take a fall. At the same time, they were worried that Lucian would
miss out on the opportunity.
As she was panicking, Roxanne reached out, wanting to grab something to
steady herself. However, as soon as she reached out, she remembered they
had deliberately chosen to play in an empty space. Hence, there was nothing
for her to hold on to.
She was about to withdraw her hand when a large hand grabbed hers firmly.
Immediately after that, she felt herself getting pulled into a pair of strong arms.
When the children saw Lucian’s swift and natural reaction, they could not help
exclaiming, “Wow!”
