Chapter 142: Question
(**Akihito’s POV**)
『Lottie, you made Emma sleep…!』
In response to my words, Emma-chan puffed out her cheeks and complained.
She seems to think that it was Charlotte-san who was responsible for it.
Well, if she was made to sleep in another room, and Charlotte-san was getting along well with me, I guess it’s no wonder she thinks that…
『It was your Mommy who put Emma-chan to bed, you know?』
I tell Emma-chan the truth.
Sophia-san’s intention was probably to give Charlotte-san and me some time alone together.
However, Sophia-san herself would have wanted to sleep with Emma-chan.
I want Emma-chan to understand that too.
『Did Mama wanted to take Onii-chan away?』
How did she come to that interpretation?
Emma-chan frowned in frustration.
『Your mom wanted to sleep with Emma-chan.』
I immediately corrected her, as I was afraid of causing trouble for Sophia-san by creating a terrible misunderstanding.
『Nhn…!』
With that, Emma-chan nodded in satisfaction.
That was a close call…
『Emma wants to sleep with Onii-chan…!』
Emma-chan seemed to understand Sophia-san’s feelings, but Emma-chan made an appeal to sleep with me.
But I know.
This kid loves Sophia-san.
If she sleeps only with me, she will definitely want to sleep with Sophia-san again.
However, Emma-chan will only rebel if I say something like that here.
『Of course, it’s fine.』
Because she is moody, if she wants to sleep with Sophia-san, she will sleep with Sophia-san on her own accord.
The fact that she sleeps with me at other times was not much of a problem, since she had slept with me in the first place up until now.
However, this is no different from the past, so I continue talking.
『But, you know, can you allow Charlotte-san to be spoiled once in a while? Even if it’s only when Emma-chan is sleeping.』
I get down to business.
I’m a little more careful how I say it, because Emma-chan will think she’s being excluded again if I tell her that sometimes I sleep alone with Charlotte-san.
『…Onii-chan, don’t you love Emma…?』
But of course the clever Emma-chan seemed to understand immediately what I meant.
That’s why she asked me if I loved her or not.
This response, too, is factored in.
『Of course, I love you.』
I reply without pause, smiling.
『Who do you love more, Lottie or Emma…?』
But her next response was not what I expected.
I knew that one day she would ask me, but I never thought she would ask me at such a young age.
Emma-chan probably sees Charlotte-san as more important to her now than herself.
『I love you both. It’s not something you can compare.』
『…………』
In response to my answer, Emma-chan looks at me in frustration.
Either she doesn’t like the fact that she’s not the best, or she doesn’t like the fact that my response seems deceptive.
I don’t know which it is, but I feel sorry for Charlotte-san who is watching next to me because she is harried.
If I let it go on too long, Charlotte-san might be bothered by it.
Thinking this, I choose what I think is the shortest way for Emma-chan to understand.
『So Emma-chan, who is more important to you, me or Charlotte-san?』
