Roxanne and Estella waited at the beach for some time before Lucian and the boys climbed out of the car. The sight of the boys wearing rainbow-colored T-shirts surprised Roxanne to no end.
Lucian preferred wearing plain-colored clothes, so she had assumed he’d buy monochrome clothes without any pattern for the boys. She had no idea he’d buy them such vibrant- looking clothes.
I wonder when he bought these clothes. They seem to fit the boys well. “When did you buy the clothes?” Roxanne asked when they came over to join her.
Recalling Benny’s earlier comment that she was in a foul mood, Lucian regarded her silently for a moment before responding, “I actually bought them on my way here. I’ve been planning to bring you here one day, and I thought it best to be prepared, and it seems I made the right choice as they came in handy.”
His words merely served to fuel Roxanne’s suspicion. Never mind if Lucian showed up suddenly. I can’t believe he even prepared clothes for them.
She looked down and observed Archie’s and Benny’s reactions. The boys were grinning adorably. “Mommy, Mr. Farwell bought clothes for you as well. You should go get changed!”
When they were changing their clothes, they suddenly noticed a stunning dress tucked away. in the rear of the car. They were certain that Lucian had purchased it as a surprise for Roxanne.
Roxanne was stunned to hear that. Did he buy clothes for me as well?
She gave Lucian a questioning look. Lucian appeared to be a bit dismayed, as the boys had ruined his surprise, but he still gave a brief nod. “Go get changed. You don’t want to catch a cold.”
Roxanne remained hesitant. Lucian arched his brow teasingly. “Don’t worry. I won’t peek at you. You can take your time while. I bring the kids to play over there.”
Without waiting for her reply, he gathered the kids and led them away. The kids wanted Roxanne to get changed as soon as possible, so they followed him obediently.
Roxanne hesitated as she stared at their backs. A few seconds later, she made up her mind and walked to the car.
As Benny said, there was an ocean blue spaghetti strap dress at the rear of the car. The bodice of the dress was slightly ruffled, and the waist was snugly cinched.
After giving birth to Archie and Benny, she rarely had the chance to wear such a casual outfit. However, she had to admit that the dress was her style.
Six years ago, when she was still married to Lucian, she would often come to the beach clad in similar dresses. I can’t believe Lucian knows the style I like. It looks like he has put in some effort to get to know me.
Under his careful and considerate attention, Roxanne felt her heart beginning to mend from the anguish of their divorce. She retrieved the dress and was about to remove her own clothes when she belatedly remembered that her underwear was drenched, too.
She glanced at the expensive dress in her hands. If the dress comes into contact with water, it will be irreparably ruined. Right then, her phone, which she placed on the seat, lit up.
Roxanne glanced at it and realized it was a text from Lucian. It read: There’s underwear in the box in the trunk. I bought the same brand you used to buy, but I’m not sure if you’ll like it.
Roxanne’s cheeks turned pink after she read the text. Did Lucian seriously buy me underwear? Am I dreaming? Roxanne had never imagined that Lucian would do such a thing for her six years ago, let alone after he proposed to her.
