Chapitre 319: Family dinner (5)

 "I hope you are strong enough as you look to handle any child like this one," Celeste said, looking at Annalise. "The number of times I almost lost her. Thankfully she knew her way back home."

"What?" Celine questioned, hearing this for the first time. 

"Don't act all surprised. You once told me that you lost Annalise and asked me to hide it from Phillip. It ended up that Annalise was up in a tree trying to figure out how far she could climb. As I said, I hope you can handle it or maybe you made your parents worried too," said Celeste.

"I don't remember causing my mother to worry other than the time she learned I wanted to be a knight like my father or when she thought I wouldn't have friends. My mother was still getting used to taking care of a home without servants so I didn't want to add to her stress," Rafael answered.
