Lucian watched as she gazed at the sea silently. His eyes grew dark as guilt rose in his heart.
She must've stood here alone six years ago. What could she be thinking of? Was she blaming me?
He slowly approached her, his eyes revealing the guilt and affection that had been building up inside of
him for the past six years.
Roxanne turned over her shoulder to realize that there was someone standing beside her. She was
suddenly transported back in time, and the man's presence filled the void that had been left in her life.
“A penny for your thoughts.” Lucian suddenly spoke when he noticed the change in her expression.
Roxanne snapped out of her reverie and flashed a nonchalant smile. “It's nothing. The ocean looks
somewhat different today, that's all.”
That would explain why she felt different when she had been here before.
Lucian looked at her silently before suddenly reaching out to pull her into his arms.
Behind him, the children were taken aback.
They quickly recalled how they had interrupted the adults' hug previously and promptly covered their
eyes with their hands, but their lips curled into smiles nonetheless.
Benny couldn't stop himself from peeking through the gaps of his fingers.
He saw Roxanne regaining her composure several seconds later and tried to push Lucian away. “The
kids are here. Stop it.”
Lucian buried his head in the nape of her neck and mumbled, “They won't peek.”
Roxanne furrowed her brows at his answer. She was about to protest when the kids' adorable voices
rang out.
“Mommy, we didn't see anything!”
She slowly scanned the row of children and saw that they had all covered their eyes with their hands.
They were standing still with huge smiles on their faces.
They couldn't see anything now but had seen everything a while ago.
“They didn't see a thing,” Lucian assured her, feigning nonchalance and tightening his grip around her
waist.
With no other choice, Roxanne relaxed and allowed him to hug her. “What is it? Hurry, spill. The
children are still waiting for us.”
Lucian was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.
He had no idea why he had reached out to hug her earlier.
Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, or perhaps he just couldn't help himself.
After a long moment of silence, Lucian said in a hoarse voice, “Can you promise me you'll only wear
this kind of dress for me?”
Lucian couldn't help but feel captivated by Roxanne's alluring appearance in the ocean-blue dress. He
couldn't shake off the guilt he felt for what happened six years ago and wanted to make it up to her in
any way he could.
Roxanne was moved as she naturally understood the underlying meaning of his words.
However, she could barely believe her ears.
“I'll keep you company when you want to come to the beach. You won't be alone anymore.”
Lucian's huge palm brushed across her waist.
Roxanne felt a tickling sensation and immediately jolted back to her senses. Finally, she dared to
believe that it was true.
Her hands balled into fists as she gave a conflicted nod.
Having received her answer, Lucian loosened his grip on her waist.
Roxanne thought he was finally going to let her go, but she had no idea he'd lean down to give her a
kiss.
Seeing that, Roxanne quickly glanced at the kids and avoided Lucian's kiss without hesitation.
Lucian seemed displeased that he didn't manage to kiss her.
Roxanne cleared her throat awkwardly. “All right, since you're here, let's have fun together with the kids
at the beach.”
