Rick told Celine about what Anne told him,and she is very angry with him ,and she refused to hear about it.
The next day Rick came back from work and Celine is ignoring him.
“Hey darling,Rick said to his wife
“Don’t darling me”,she said and frown her face sitting down on the sofa in the sitting room
Rick walked closer to her,and tried to calm her down,but she is not wanting to be calmed.

“This is your sister flora,Rick said to his second daughter flora
“Hello o sister”, flora said to Melissa
Celine shouted at flora not to call her sister,that she is not her sister,but little flora insisted that her daddy said Melissa was her sister,but Celine rejected her daughter’s words,and warned her that Melissa was not her sister, telling the little girl that, Melissa was just a street girl,which made Rick furious and he shouted at Celine to stop making the girls hate on themselves,she should make them love themselves,but Celine did not want to hear any of that,Rick left and went to his bedroom.
Celine kept on watching Melissa
