Mission To Remarry

Chapter 936 A Hint Of Hesitation

Seeing that the children were drenched in sweat, Roxanne chose an opportune time to call out to them, “You guys are sweating all over. Come and take a rest, or you might catch a cold.”

By then, the children had played to their heart’s content, so they obediently got out of the water upon hearing the woman’s words. Benny had a fish in his hand, which he reluctantly released into the water before he left.

As for Estella, she gathered all of the pebbles the boys had given her in her skirt, protecting the pile of stones as she walked toward Roxanne.

Noticing how the little girl was struggling, Roxanne stepped forward to help her. Estella’s footsteps became lighter when some of the weight of the pebbles were taken off of her.

When they reached the shore, Roxanne took the towels she had prepared earlier and gently wiped down the children’s bodies.

The three children wrapped themselves in their respective towels and returned to their tent, where Estella laid the pebbles out to dry.

The boys had specially picked some colorful and nicely-shaped pebbles that looked extremely beautiful when the sun’s rays bounced off of them.

Hence, Estella simply couldn’t turn her eyes away.

Roxanne patted the little girl’s head and got up to get their cups.
