Chapter 568
Al the hotel room, Roxanne and Lucian cleaned up the children, helped them to change, and brought them out again.
It was already evening. The breeze was slightly chilly, with a faint smell of the sea. It was a comfortable feeling as it blew on their faces.
Roxanne brought the children to the beach as she had promised them that morning.
It was extremely different compared to how crowded it was yesterday. There were very few people on the beach, and the whole place looked serene.
The waves crashed gently against the shore, creating a peaceful scenery.
Unable to hold herself b Roxanne removed her shoes and brought the children for a stroll on the beach barefooted, allowing their feel to feel the soft sand.
Suddenly. Estella shouted with surprise, “Ah!”
Roxanne turned over to look at her, only to find Estella squatting down carefully and picking up a colorful conch from the sand.
“Look, Ms. Jarvis!” Estella brought the conch to Roxanne, looking excited.
Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “What a beautiful conch! You can keep this, Essie. You can use it for your arts and crafts next time.”
Estella, too, looked really happy with her finding. Carefully, she cleaned the conch and studied it curiously for a long time.
Though the Farwell family was rich, Estella never traveled far due to her autism. Hence, she had only seen things like that in books.
In fact, it was her first time touching a conch.
She stroked it lovingly. So, this is a conch! It‘s so pretty!
The smile on Roxanne‘s face deepened when she saw how much Estella liked the conch. Roxanne took the conch and placed it beside Estella‘s ear.
Estella tilted her head and shot her a puzzled look.
“Listen. Legend says conches have the sound of the waves. Can you hear it?” Roxanne gazed at Estella with a smile.
When Estella heard that, her eyes lit up, and she listened attentively.
