Chapter 264Lucian frowned in frustration as he found the shovel extremely unwieldy.While struggling
with it, he felt Roxanne’s gentle gaze on him and looked up in response.As their eyes met, Roxanne
quickly retracted her gaze and put on a neutral expression.Lucian frowned when he saw her response,
but whatever frustration he had earlier seemed to have vanished completely. He then turned toward a
staff and said, “Excuse me, I’m having some difficulty using this. Could you please show me how to use
it?” The staff had been observing him from the side for quite some time. He had wanted to tell Lucian
that he was doing it wrong but held himself back when he saw how intimidating Lucian looked.Seeing
as Lucian had asked him for assistance, he quickly stepped forward to perform a quick
demonstration.Even Lucian chuckled in amusement when he saw the staff’s technique and realized
how funny he looked earlier.Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen
Having learned the proper way to use a shovel, they were able to speed up the process of filling up the
holes significantly.The five of them then worked together to finish planting the saplings. The three kids
would chat with Roxannefrom time to time while Lucian watchedon quietly from the side.“Are you guys
a family?” the staff askedcuriously when he saw them having a great time together.Both Roxanne and
Lucian froze when they heard that.“Why do you ask?” Lucian asked before Roxanne could say
anything.Not only did he not deny that staff’s statement, but he’d also give the staff the wrong idea with
that question of his!Roxanne frowned in displeasure at the thought of that.“Well, I just thought you all
looked a lot like a family. On top of that, these three kids look just like you two,” the staff replied without
giving it much thought.Whatever displeasure Roxanne felt had turned into uneasiness in an instant.She
really wanted to keep it a secret, but Archie and Benny did look a lot like Lucian. However, the
resemblance wasn’t that obvious as they were still very young, so Lucian didn’t notice it at all.As such,
she was afraid that Lucian would pay more attention to Archie and Benny after hearing the staff’s
comment and finding out about their true identities.Lucian arched an eyebrow and stared at the kids in
response. While they did look a little similar to each other, he didn’t think much about it.Since all three This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
of them were Roxanne’s children, it was common for kids to take after their mother’s appearance.“You
guys sure make a lovely family!” the staff exclaimed when he saw that Lucian didn’t deny it.Surely
enough, Lucian wasn’t about to deny that statement either.Roxanne snapped out of her train of thought
and told the staff coldly, “I’m afraid you’ve gotten the wrong idea. We’re not a family. We just happened
to be put on the same team because the kids are close friends.”The staff was shocked by her
explanation. “Is that so? My apologies for making such an assumption. I just thought you guys were a
family because you were all getting along so well…”“That’s all right. I just wanted to clear up the
misunderstanding. That’s all,” Roxanne said with a forced smile.The staff nodded profusely in
response.Lucian had a gloomy look in his eyes as he stared at Roxanne from the side.
