“What, I can’t even hold your hand?” Lucian asked in displeasure when he noticed her frown. Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Roxanne shifted her gaze between their hands and the displeased look on Lucian’s face. Eventually, she gave in and gently wrapped her fingers around his hand.
The next thing she knew, Lucian adjusted his grip and interlocked fingers with her. Roxanne heard the parents around them inhaling sharply, but there was nothing she could do except pretend she didn’t hear a thing.
Fortunately, the three kids’ class was one of the first to come walking out. The children stood in a neat line while marching toward the school gates under their teacher’s guidance.
“Daddy! Mommy!” the kids exclaimed happily when they saw their parents standing in front of the crowd. Everyone around them went wide-eyed with shock when they heard the way the kids addressed Lucian and Roxanne.
Even the parents, who had already picked up their kids, stood around and watched nosily, reluctant to leave.
They had been seeing the news about Lucian and Roxanne on television every night, but this was the first time the two had made an appearance together after the recent news report. On top of that, the two of them were being very intimate with each other in public.
Roxanne felt quite uneasy when the kids called: them “Daddy” and “Mommy” in front of so many people. This was the first time she had made her relationship with Lucian public in front of the parents and teachers at the kindergarten.
Regardless of whether they had remarried or not, everyone around them already saw her as a member of the Farwell family. Before Roxanne knew it, the kids had squeezed their way through the crowd and wrapped their arms around her and Lucian’s legs.
“Daddy! Mommy! Why have you two come to pick us up together today?” Benny asked curiously. Roxanne simply kept quiet and turned toward Lucian.
“I happened to get off work early, and your mommy didn’t have to work overtime today, so we came here together. What’s wrong? Do you kids not like it?” he said casually and naturally, as if they had already been a loving family for decades.
“We love it!” the three kids replied in unison. “Mommy, could you and Daddy come pick us up together every day from now onward?” Estella asked in an adorable voice.
Roxanne had wanted to tell her that she would come as long as she had the time to but changed her mind when she saw the expectant look in Estella’s eyes. “All right. I’ll try my best to.”
Pippa was smiling happily when she saw the sweet and harmonious family of five. Despite what the public is saying about them, the changes in Estella’s condition all this while prove they’re the most suitable for each other. Roxanne left with the kids after saying goodbye to Pippa, who simply smiled and waved at her as usual.
“I made some preparations. We can start the basic lessons once we get back,” Lucian told Archie and Benny all of a sudden on the drive home.
It took Roxanne a few seconds to realize he was talking about teaching them to use a computer. Oh? He even made preparations in advance? I didn’t expect him to take it so seriously!
As Roxanne turned around and saw the pleading look in Archie and Benny’s eyes, she could tell that the two geniuses obviously didn’t want to start learning from the beginning.
Roxanne then let out a chuckle and told Lucian, “Come on, let’s not rush things now. They just finished a day of school, so we should let them get some rest. The lessons can wait until the weekend.”
Noticing that Roxanne was helping them out, Archie and Benny quickly played along. “We’re tired, Daddy! We need some rest!”
Naturally, Lucian wasn’t going to force anything on them. “All right, then. Make sure to get ready for your classes on the weekend,” he replied with a nod.
Archie and Benny dreaded those classes, but they smiled obediently and nodded anyway. “Okay, Daddy! We’ll be prepared!”
As Estella was sitting very close to them, she could clearly see that they were reluctant to take those lessons. Although she was confused by their reactions, she knew better than to ask them about it.
Fearing that Lucian would talk about teaching them to use the computer again, the kids immediately ran back to their bedroom after dinner.
Having noticed how much the kids resented the topic, Lucian asked in amusement, “Do they hate computers, or is it too early for me to teach them this stuff?”
Roxanne glanced in the direction of the stairs and saw that the kids were already nowhere in sight. “They don’t need you to teach them at all.”
She then shifted her gaze back toward Lucian as she continued, “Archie and Benny grew up in my mentor’s research institute. They displayed amazing talent for information technology at a very young age, and that’s especially the case for Benny. One of my colleagues at the research institute had been teaching them how to use a computer after noticing their talent, so Benny excels in this area.”
The serious look on Roxanne’s face got Lucian wondering just how skilled Archie and Benny were with computers. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Estella stared curiously at Archie and Benny as she asked, “Do you two not want Daddy to teach you?”
As Archie and Benny had no reason to keep secrets from her, they nodded honestly in response. Estella frowned in confusion. “Do you two not like computers? Daddy’s really amazing, you know? You two will become professional hackers if he teaches you!”
Lucian used to tutor her personally back then, but he had to stop because she started losing focus due to her condition. He never continued those lessons after that.
If Daddy had continued teaching me, I would definitely be the best hacker out there right now! At least, that’s what Daddy told me!
Archie and Benny exchanged glances as they whispered in her ear, “We’ll let you in on a little secret here. The truth is, we’re already very skilled with computers, so we don’t want to start learning everything from the beginning.”
Estella’s face was filled with disbelief when she heard that. I’m better at using a computer than the other kids my age only because Daddy personally taught me. Who could’ve taught Archie and Benny?
Noticing the look of doubt on her face, Benny pulled out his computer and demonstrated his skills with it.
“Watch closely!” Despite what he said, he actually hadn’t thought of how he would showcase his skills. The look of doubt in Estella’s eyes intensified when she saw him staring blankly at the computer screen.
“I can teach you if you don’t want Daddy to, Benny,” she said with a serious expression. I may not be as skilled as Daddy when it comes to such things, but I should be good enough to teach Benny! She was about to take the computer out of Benny’s hands when he came up with a bright idea.
“Wait! I know what I can do!” Archie and Estella stared at him in confusion as he booted up the computer and typed rapidly. on the keyboard.
A few seconds later, a string of codes began. running on the screen. Archie and Estella kept their eyes on the screen as they waited eagerly to see what would happen. Benny’s eyes were filled with excitement as well.
