Meanwhile, Roxanne knew nothing about the online controversy.
After breakfast, she took the kids to the beach.
At first, Archie and Benny were a little worried about the changes in public opinion on the internet, but they instantly forgot about it the moment they got into the car.
Roxanne had not taken them on a road trip in a while, so they looked forward to it. They were especially excited that she brought Estella along.
“Mommy, where are we going?” Estella kept calling Roxanne “Mommy” as if she wanted to make up for the years she missed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile observing the change of scenery outside the car, Archie and Benny could not help but ask curiously, “Mommy, it seems you're driving out of town. You're not planning to sell us now that you have Essie, are you?” Benny acted shocked and pleaded in a tender, babylike voice, “Mommy, please don’t do this to us! We're good kids, and we'll help look after our little sister!” Estella, too, nodded earnestly. “If you insist, sellalong with them as well!” However, not long after making that remark, she tilted her head, looking troubled. “But | love Mommy very much too. Mommy, don’t sell us, please?” Roxanne’s heart melted as she was charmed by their innocent and endearing words.
“When did I say | was going to sell you? I'm taking all of you to the beach because the weather is lovely.” It was the sbeach she had visited when she first found out she was pregnant.
A few days ago, Lucian had taken her there again. That visit brought back all of Roxanne’s memories of the place.
When she was pregnant, she wanted to bring the little ones to the beach even though they were still in her womb.
As soon as the children heard they were going to the beach, their minds instantly flooded with memories of their last vacation.
Cto think of it, our last vacation was also our first family trip! The last vacation held a special place in Archie’s and Benny's hearts.
It becan unforgettable memory after they discovered Estella was their long-lost sister.
“Mommy, are you taking us to the beach we went to last time?” Benny asked.
Roxanne could not help but feel emotional as she recalled their last experience.
After the kindergarten activity ended, they had gone on a hot spring vacation where many things happened.
If it weren't for Sonya and Aubree, Roxanne and Lucian would have been together when they were enjoying themselves at the beach.
“Mommy?” the little ones urged impatiently, waiting for her answer.

Since Archie and Benny were rarely exposed to Roxanne’s past while growing up, they were thrilled to learn that she was taking them to her favorite beach.
Roxanne could not help but grin when she looked in the rearview mirror and saw the happiness on their faces.
When she found out she was pregnant years ago, she once stood by the sea and imagined how she would watch her children play on the beach.
However, she quickly dismissed that thought, as she had decided to leave the country for good.
Roxanne had long given up hope of watching her children having fun by the beach.
Little did she know that one day her dream would ctrue.
Half an hour later, Roxanne’s car slowly stopped in the distance from the beach.
As soon as the car stopped, the children got out of the vehicle and ran toward the beach like untamed horses
