Chapter 1788 Baby Dolphins

The children were filled with enthusiasm as the dolphin show began, even though they had seen it before.

The keeper and the dolphins had a wonderful relationship, a bond that was evident in their interactions and performances. Whenthey performed, the audience whooped and cheered.

The dolphins were captivatingly adorable as they kept making gentle splashes with their fins, drenching the first row of theaudience. The children in the audience couldn't help but wave to the dolphins, and the dolphins seemed to respond to the kids’interest in them, swimming closer to the audience obediently.

Estella giggled in delight when she finally got to touch a dolphin. “Daddy, Mommy, its head is really soft!”The little dolphin made a joyful, high-pitched sound that seemed to be a greeting of sorts for Estella.

Estella immediately began to communicate with the little dolphin. “Little dolphin, come here. They are my brothers. You shouldget to know them, too!”

Archie and Benny rose to their feet and made their way toward Estella. As they approached, they hesitantly reached out theirhands to make contact with the small creature. Its parents were floating some distance away and seemed unconcerned with thepresence of the two boys.

“It's wonderful to see how much the dolphin loves the children,” the keeper said encouragingly. “It's so wonderful to see theconnection between humans and animals. Let us remember that sea animals, too, are part of our world, and we must do ourbest to protect and care for them as members of our family.”

Right then, a kid behind the triplets inched nearer eagerly. “Daddy, I'd like to touch the baby dolphin, too!”

A middle-aged, overweight man cast a disapproving glance at Lucian and Roxanne before addressing them in a curt, unfriendlymanner. “Can you ask your children to step aside so that other children can also have the opportunity to touch the babydolphin?”

Lucian's brows furrowed as he gave the man an icy look. The latter was taken aback by his reaction.

Roxanne quickly replied, “I'm sorry, but we chose to sit here. You must've chosen not to sit in the front row as you're afraid ofgetting splashed by the dolphins, right? However, now that you want to interact with the animal, it might not be as willing to do sowith your child.”

The overweight man froze awkwardly. Nevertheless, he refused to back down and shot Roxanne a vicious glare.Lucian noticed his reaction. If he continues being unreasonable, I'll make sure he regrets doing this.

The performance had a time limit. As the baby dolphin obviously seemed reluctant to part with the children, the keeper had anidea and asked, “The baby dolphin is going to perform next. Would you be brave enough to join it?”

“Okay! I'll do it!” Estella agreed readily.Archie and Benny turned over their shoulders to receive their parents’ consent before nodding at the keeper.

“All right. Let us welcome the three children onstage to perform together with our baby dolphin. Please give them a round ofapplause!”

At once, thunderous applause reverberated across the hall.

The audience was not simply clapping out of politeness as the triplets were so incredibly cute that they had charmed their wayinto the hearts of everyone present.

All of a sudden, an unexpected voice pierced the air, belonging to the overweight man. He exclaimed, “I believe that since this isa game, my son should be able to take part too. You won't discriminate against him, right?”

He was indirectly admitting to the fact that his son wasn't as good-looking as the triplets.

An awkward look crossed the keeper's face. He was apprehensive that the son of the overweight man, who was older than thetriplets, could potentially spook the baby dolphin, resulting in unwanted trouble.

The overweight child shouted in excitement, “I can work together with the baby dolphin! | promise that | won't hurt it, soeverything should be fine!”

With that, he strode over the seats and made his way to the pool.

The keeper had no choice but to give in. “Yes, you can join us, but please make sure to follow my instructions. You can do that,right?”

The fat kid patted his chest as a look of contempt spread across his features. “It's just a baby dolphin,” he said reassuringly, “Iwon't hurt it, so it's fine!”

He turned over his shoulder to glance at his father, who stood there with an air of superiority. His father puffed out his chestarrogantly and shot Lucian and Roxanne a mocking look.
