Leaving The Country After Divorce

“Be careful!”

Roxanne’s cheeks tinged pink when she thought about the accident she had had the last time she was here.

The three children waved their hands at her without looking back and dashed toward the waves.

Roxanne quickened her pace and kept up with her children.

“Mommy, you’re so pretty!”

Estella grabbed Roxanne’s hand and snuggled up to her. Her little face lit up in awe.

There had been a firework event during their last vacation to the hot spring resort. As a result, the beach was overcrowded with people, and the children didn’t get the chance to experience playing on the beach.

It was quiet all around at that moment, save for the sounds of waves crashing against the beach.

Despite their young age and high energy levels, the children couldn’t help but want to quiet down and relax in the face of the calming waves.

Roxanne patted their heads and said, “There are not many people here, and it’s really quiet. That’s why I come here quite often.” Then she took a glance at the surroundings. Still worried, she held Estella’s hand and said to Archie and Benny, “I’m going to bring you guys to a place.”
