Chapter 567

Ultimately, they were children. Despite the earlier events, Benny returned to his happy self after playing with the dolphins. When it was almost time to leave, a staff member reminded Lucian, "Mr. Farwell, it's time to return."

Lucian briefly acknowledged the staff member and then turned to the children on the deck. "Come on, it's time to go." However, the children lingered, reluctant to leave the dolphins, continuing to pat their heads.

Lucian frowned, unsure how to coax them away. Roxanne, amused by his troubled expression, stepped forward. "Time to go, everyone," she said gently. "Let's say goodbye to the dolphins." She gently took the children's wrists.

Only then did the children reluctantly wave goodbye. "We're going back! Goodbye!" As if understanding, the dolphins leaped into the air, one after another.

While waving, Archie and Benny felt a wet, slippery sensation on their faces. Startled, they stared at the two dolphins returning to the sea. They had been hoping for a dolphin kiss, and unexpectedly received one just as they were leaving.

"It seems the dolphins liked you both," Roxanne smiled. "All right, say goodbye. We'll come back to visit again next time."

The children nodded, waving enthusiastically. "Goodbye! We'll see you again!" They continued to look back as they returned to their seats, initially disappointed when no dolphins remained visible.

Suddenly, dolphins leaped from the water on both sides of the yacht, as if escorting them. Smiles returned to the children's faces.

"The dolphins will follow us for a while," a staff member smiled. "You still have time to say goodbye."

The children happily watched the dolphins swimming alongside the yacht. As they sailed further, the number of dolphins gradually decreased, and disappointment crept back onto the children's faces. Their sadness persisted even upon reaching shore.

Sensing their disappointment, Roxanne patted their heads and showed them photos she had taken. "Don't be sad," she said. "Look! The dolphins are still with you, aren't they?"

The children peered at the pictures. Seeing themselves playing with the dolphins, they finally smiled. Lucian's expression relaxed as well.

"Mommy, we have to come back next time!" Benny declared seriously.

Laughing, Roxanne promised, "Okay, I'll definitely bring you back." She admitted to enjoying the sea as much as the boys.

After reviewing the pictures, Roxanne put away her camera. "Let's go back," she suggested to Lucian. "The kids need to change." They were soaked from playing and the setting sun made the sea breeze chilly; Roxanne was concerned about them catching a cold.

Lucian nodded, and they returned to the hotel with the children.
