Chapter 1787: Giving Money to the Penguin

Along the way, they saw penguins, sea lions, busy polar bears, majestic whale sharks, and colorful jellyfish. After several hours of sightseeing, the exhausted family had captured numerous photos—their first family portrait in six years, with the aquatic animals serving as unwitting witnesses.

At lunchtime, Lucian unpacked the pre-prepared chef's meals, heating them in a self-heating pot. Though they could have ordered room service, a picnic-style lunch felt more special. The children devoured their food; wanting them to be full, Roxanne gave them her portion, prompting Lucian to relinquish his own, keeping only a slice of cake.

Their final stop, the dolphin park, was bustling. Lucian frowned, concerned about the crowds. "If I'd known," he muttered, "I would have rented the entire oceanarium."

Roxanne chuckled. "No need," she said. "The atmosphere's lovely, even if it's a little crowded. I'll carry Essie; you take Archie and Benny."

He nodded, giving the children water before escorting them to the restroom. The park had two sections: an underwater viewing area and a performance venue. They visited the underwater area first, taking more photos, a family of dolphins unexpectedly swimming into their shot. Lucian praised the photo; Roxanne smiled contentedly.

At the performance venue, Archie and Benny helped Estella set up a social media account.

"Archie and Benny," Estella asked innocently, "do I have to give money to the penguin to put money in my account?"

Embarrassed by their playful deception, Archie and Benny promised to add funds to her account.

Inside the crowded arena, Lucian secured seats near the front, holding Archie and Benny's hands as Roxanne followed, carrying Estella. Their striking appearance drew attention.

Whispers circulated: "Look! That's the family I mentioned. That man must be a CEO! And that woman…the divine physician! Are those all their children?"
