I worried over how to talk to her .
“You know, as long as Kingdom accepts the marriage interview, then you have do it . But that doesn’t mean that he has to be your husband . ”
“Really?
Chris tilted her head cutely .
“What kind of man do you want as your husband, Chris?”
“Someone like father!”
“Me too . ”
Father is a kind man . The Remingtons also trade agricultural produce domestically and internationally, so father is busy inspecting different locations and isn’t in the mansion often, so I miss him .
“But what if he isn’t like father?”
“Then, I don’t want him . ”

“Right?”
Chris had a look that said, ‘so you understand’ . I have to talk to her about another difficult matter . I let out a big sigh .
Mother is cold to Chris . Or rather, she’s not interested in her . Chris knows this, and she acts selfish because she wants mother to care about her . She thinks that mother would like her if she does what mother wants .
But it was pointless . Mother’s interest will never turn towards Chris no matter what she does .
Why did she say such a cold thing?
I looked out the hazy greenhouse window .
Chris isn’t the only one . Mother isn’t interested in me either . I’ve been through what Chris has been through .
How hard have I tried to make mother satisfied and tell me that I’m a good girl? She’s with me when she needs to be because I’m the heiress . But I really understood that she had no interest in children no matter how hard I tried when Chris was born .
I hated my sister for being born, thinking that the little baby would take away her little love, but I was shocked that mother didn’t show any interest in the baby that was so cute, so I lost my hatred for her .
I was reassured that the adorable Chris wouldn’t take away mother from me and was able to love her . But children want their parent’s love . She wanted it and was brushed off, and I was surprised to find out that I was the same as her when I watched her struggle for love even though she wasn’t a good girl like me . I felt my heart gradually grow colder when I realised that I wasn’t loved .
Therefore, it was useless to try to be useful to mother .

She wouldn’t give us love even if we’re useful to her .
“But he came to meet me, right?” Chris’s cheerful voice brought me back .
“That’s right . ”
“Then, I might be able to become friends with him like I am with Nico and Lei . ”
“Not become your husband?”
“That’s right . ”
I can’t explain to her that she won’t get mother’s love anyway . If Chris thinks it’s fine to be friends and not make him her husband, then that’s fine .
“I see . You can just think of it as a friendship . ”
“Friendship?”
“It means having countries get along with each other and helping each other . Like Chris said, being friends is nice . ”
“Then, I’ll see what I can do . I’ll try not to get angry if they call me Chrish-san . ”

I chuckled when I recalled the first meeting between Chris and Lei . I suddenly remembered what the maid said the other day, “So Felicisama can laugh out loud too . ” Chris was having a great time, and I was also having fun because of her .
“I’m sure he’s older than you?”
“Then I wonder if he will hold me like Gill and Luke do . ”
“Oh my, those two did that?”
“Because they hold Lei and Nico . So, I wanted to be held too,” Chris said . That’s not fair . I want to hold Chris too .
“Then, I want to as well . Chris, come to my lap . ”
“Is it okay?”
I lifted Chris up and put her on my lap .
“Up you go . Oh my, Chris . You’re pretty heavy . ”
Chris felt heavy, maybe because I was small . Luke and Gill are younger than me, but I wonder if they feel fine when they hold Chris .
“Nee-sama, isn’t that rude? Gill says I’m light as a feather . ”
“Oh my, he did?”
That person’s light-heartedness is something I can’t deal with . Still, I’m jealous that there’s someone who can act carefreely like that . But I have to say this, “You know, Chris . Do you like Nee-sama?”
“I love you!”
“Is it because I’m useful to you?”
“No . ”
Chris looked up at me strangely .
“I just love you . And Lei, and Nico . ”
I hugged Chris tightly .
“Really? So, Chris . You don’t have to be useful to anyone . I love it when you’re happy and laughing not when you’re trying to push yourself . ”
“Really? Then I don’t need to study . ”
“You have to study . ”
The laughter of Chris and I echoed through the greenhouse . Perhaps it isn’t good to think about it too much, but my mind eased a little since whatever happens will happen .
After a few days, the guest from Easter was invited to the Remington greenhouse for the marriage interview .
