Chapter 1349 Lucian could tell Roxanne only had the children’s best interests at heart, so he did not force her. “Let's go.” The children lowered their arms slowly upon hearing his voice and studied Roxanne with surreptitious smiles.
Although they had covered their eyes earlier, their ears had remained open, and they had heard it all.
Mommy promised to wear a dress like this only for Daddy. Does that mean Mommy has him in her heart? No, Mommy has always been thinking of Daddy. She was only forced to reject his proposal because of Grandma.
Archie’s and Benny's smiles faded a little when they thought of that.
A second later, they were swept off their feet into their father’s embrace.
The boys froze in surprise before catching sight of the ocean in the distance, and their faces lit up once more.

With Roxanne leading Estella by the hand, the five of them sauntered along the beach.
Tired of being carried too long, the boys becso restless and bored that they struggled to free themselves from Lucian’s arms.
Accommodating their wishes, Lucian placed them on the beach, and the children chased each other into the distance.
Feeling a little worried, Roxanne strode after them.
Lucian jogged along, but at the thought of something, he slowed to a stroll in their wake.
A twinkle appeared in Lucian’s eyes as he watched Roxanne play with the children. He fished out his phone and took sphotos of them.
Remembering how much she enjoyed taking pictures of the children the last tthey went on vacation, he felt a responsibility to document the children’s growth.
Although she had never mentioned it, Lucian knew she would love to be in the children’s lives.
However, there was never anybody else to take her place behind the camera, which resulted in her absence in the photographs.
Roxanne had barely spent any twith the children before she excused herself.
As much as she wanted to continue playing with them, the activity caused her to bend over, drawing her already uncomfortable undergarments tighter around her skin.
She was worried that the delicates would wear themselves out if she kept going.
Blushing profusely, she removed herself from the children’s company with a shifty smile and said, “I'm a little tired. You guys play among yourselves.” To her relief, the children did not ask any questions.

They wanted their parents to spend salone ttogether.
“What's wrong? Are you unwell?” Lucian put aside his phone at her approach, alarmed by her peculiar expression.
His gaze did not so much as leave her figure when he was taking photographs earlier, and he noticed she would make an odd gesture now and then. After bending over, she would straighten up almost instinctively. It happened enough times to rouse his suspicion.
| wonder if she’s feeling unwell.
Roxanne’s cheeks turned even redder. “I'm fine...” | can't tell Lucian he boughtundersized underwear! Just the thought of it made Roxanne grimace with embarrassment.
Frowning with worry, Lucian touched her forehead under the assumption of her being feverish but did not detect anything unusual.
“You're not having a fever. What could it be?” Roxanne bit her lip, too embarrassed to speak.
Lucian was really worried. “Let's call it a day. We'll stop by the hospital for a check-up.”
