NovelEnglishChapter 671 Hold Her Tighter Roxanne returned to her senses and followed the children to the fountain.
There were plenty of adults playing with their children. The entire area was filled with the children’s laughter.
When she saw the heartwarming scene in front of her, she couldn't help but smile.
However, when she shifted her gaze to Lucian, she thought he didn't fit in with the scenery at all.
The three children ran around while he stood emotionlessly at the side, allowing them to circle him as he stood still like a wooden pillar.

With her joining the children, the space around Lucian instantly became emptier.
The look in his eyes softened and his lips quirked up slightly as he watched the children play with her.
“Mommy!” “Ms. Jarvis!” The children suddenly stopped and turned in her direction, confused.
At the sound of the children’s voices, Lucian frowned slightly, only to see Roxanne standing next to a water pump. She was completely wet and smiling as she stood there.
The children were initially shocked, but when they saw the smile on her face, they started giggling.
“Stupid Mommy!” Archie went over and pulled her aside.
Only then did she return to her senses.
The freezing water had caused her brain to short-circuit for a moment and her reaction to become slow.
In retrospect, she, too, found it funny when she realized how silly she had looked earlier as she watched the children giggling.
Just as they were laughing on their bellies, a coat was draped over Roxanne’s body.
Sensing the sudden warmth, Roxanne pulled the coat on her body and only turned back at the thought of something.

“Thanks for the coat, Mr. Farwell,” she said awkwardly.
Seeing that she wanted to keep a distance from him, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows and said to the children, “You three play by yourselves for a while. Be careful not to get wet.” The children nodded gladly and vigorously when they saw the two acting intimately.
Upon getting the assurance from the children, Lucian pushed Roxanne by the shoulders out of the fountain without giving her a chance to speak.
Roxanne tensed up when she noticed the two of them were getting too close to each other. Her attempt at escaping only made him hold her tighter.
“I can walk by myself. Please let me go, Mr. Farwell,” Roxanne said as calmly as she could as she scanned the surrounding.
As soon as she finished, she could feel Lucian glancing at her. In the next second, his deep voice rang out next to her ear. “Do you want other people to see how stupid you are, Ms. Jarvis? Even children wouldn't get drenched in water. You were drenched but you didn’t know how to step away.” Roxanne’s ears turned red. She wanted to explain that she had a brain freeze and couldn't react in time. However, thinking that the explanation would probably make her look even more stupid, she allowed Lucian to take her out of the crowd.
