Following his gaze, Celeste turned her head and instinctively held the rabbit tighter, her eyes sharpening with a trace of vigilance as she looked toward Lucien.
Lucien felt a little helpless. That rabbit was definitely acting; he was doing this on purpose. This trick was exactly the same as what he once did. Pretending to feel hurt and win Celeste's sympathy, so that she would put more attention on him. But now he cannot directly tell her that.
Looking down at the rabbit in her arms, Celeste was still hesitating, not sure of what she should do. Sensing this, Lumi continued his performance. He had learned that Celeste had no resistance to small, fluffy, adorable creatures, and this was his greatest advantage.
Just as he expected, not long later, Celeste bit her lips lightly and then said, "Alright. Starting from today, I will be your mother, and I will take full responsibility for taking care of you."
