Need Someone to Push

"That's right. Ceres behaves like this because she doesn't feel safe."

Caleb frowned but did not say anything.

"She is your goddaughter, dad. You are not related by blood. When you treat her well, she lives here as the lady. But when you are angry, you might kick her out of the house!"

Caleb thought it seemed to make sense.

He began to feel that what he had said today was a bit too much. He should not have reprimanded Ceres like that.

"Ceres has always been lacking a sense of security and the same is true when she was in the Morrises' place. Because she didn't have a sense of security, she did weird things."

Jamie sighed, "Poor Ceres."

"Jamie, should I apologize to her later?"

Jamie nodded, "Yes, sure. But not now. Ceres has strong self-esteem. I guess that after such a thing happened, she won't even get out of her room. So, let's wait for tomorrow."

"Alright, she needs some time to calm down as well."
