When Roxanne returned to her senses and turned to the sea, she saw the boys approaching the ocean.
She saw Benny frowning while looking as though he had lost his soul.
“Archie! Benny!” Furrowing her eyebrows, she chased after them.
She wouldn’t have panicked if they were in a different place because the boys knew how to swim.
However, she had tripped there two days ago, so she knew there were rocks hiding in the water. She couldn’t help but worry.
Estella followed behind her.
Right then, a huge wave rushed straight toward the boys. Roxanne felt her heart tighten. She increased her pace and grabbed the boys in time.
The three of them were drenched in seawater, but not Estella because she was too far behind.
When Benny snapped back to reality, he lowered his head guiltily to avoid looking at Roxanne.
Roxanne tossed the boys to the beach.
In one smooth motion, Benny sat on the ground and flashed a pleasing smile at his mother.
Those not in the know would think they were just playing around.
Lowering his head, Archie apologized, “I’m sorry for not keeping a close eye on Benny, Mommy.”
Roxanne glanced at the sensible Archie before turning to Benny, who was still putting on a pitiful act. Fury burned in her heart, but she couldn’t bring herself to get angry. “Didn’t I tell you two to stay away from the sea?” Then she sighed resignedly. “This is just great. I didn’t bring any clothes with me.” I thought we were just going to stand on the beach deck. Getting drenched certainly wasn’t something I expected to happen. If my clothes aren’t wet right now, I could’ve bought them new clothes from nearby shops. Now, I can’t even do that.
