NovelEnglishChapter 952 We Looked Like A Family After hearing Lucian’s explanation, Estella finally understood the situation and responded with an obedient nod.
“Did you have fun today?” Lucian stopped asking about her sickness and began talking about the camping trip in an attempt to divert her attention.
As expected, the mention of the camping trip diverted Estella’s attention instantly. “I had tons of fun!” Then, she curled up her fingers one by one, counting the events that happened that day, as if she was worried that her father wouldn't believe her simple remark. “Ms. Jarvis gifteda lovely flower wreath, and we had a delicious barbecue. Also, Benny and Archie giftedsbeautiful pebbles!” It seemed like Estella had encountered endless joyful events that day. After recalling all the happy occasions she had experienced that day, her stomachache didn’t seem to be so serious anymore.

Roxanne did a body check-up on the children again.
She had done sresearch on this bacterium before. Therefore, the traditional medicine she made was the right treatment for the sickness, and the effect of the medicine was immediate.
After checking the children over and confirming that they had been cured, Roxanne finally felt a sense of relief.
She turned around and looked at the man next to her. “It's late. Let's go back now.” Lucian nodded casually. Just when he was about to get up, Archie spoke sweetly while staring at the adults with anticipation. “Mommy, can we not go hso soon? We haven't stayed overnight in the tent yet!” With that, he tugged on the corner of Roxanne’s clothing with one hand and pointed at the night sky with another. “Look! The sky is so beautiful tonight!” Upon facing her son’s hopeful gaze, Roxanne hesitated for a split second before becoming adamant again. “No, we can’t stay here. Benny and Essie just recovered from their illness, so they must go hand rest. I'll bring you here again next time.” Roxanne didn’t want to stay, not only because the children had just recovered from their sickness but also because she didn’t want to face Lucian for an entire night.
Upon being rejected by Roxanne, Archie looked disappointed. He then turned around and shot Benny and Estella a look.
Benny and Estella instantly understood Archie's signal.
With a pitiful look, Estella tugged at Lucian’s expensive shirt. “Daddy, I'm so tired.” Meanwhile, Benny frowned and pressed his palm on his stomach. “Mommy, | think my stomach still aches a Fiz.” The children had always been good at acting. Moreover, after all the incidents that happened that day, Roxanne naturally wouldn't overthink their remarks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoxanne wavered upon hearing that Benny’s stomach was still aching. Benny has been sick for the entire afternoon. Now that he’s finally feeling better, it won't be worth it if we travel on the bumpy mountain road and make him ill again.
Bearing that thought in mind, she gave up on her initial decision and changed her mind. “If that’s the case, we shall rest here for the night.” Upon gaining her agreement, the children shifted their gazes to Lucian at the side.
Naturally, Lucian prioritized the children’s health and agreed to the suggestion nonchalantly.
Then, the two adults settled the three children in the tent.
Looking at the space that had just been emptied, a hint of hesitation appeared on Roxanne’s face. Besides the tent, there seemed to be no other areas suitable for resting.
Yet, when she imagined Lucian sleeping next to her and the children, she felt slightly weirded out by the thought.
That will make us look like an actual family...
While she was contemplating what to do, Lucian’s deep voice sounded beside her ears. “You should get srest. I'll go sleep in the car.” With that, he got up and left the tent.
