Deep lines form between her brows . Kiyohira notices the change in her expression . He ma.s.sages the s.p.a.ce between her brows and chuckles, "A penny for your thought?"

She blinks at him dumbly before shrugging her shoulders uneasily . Kiyohira wants to prod her further, but they are not alone . He pulls the chair for her . She looks at him once and then, turns her eyes to his grandmother . Kiyohira realizes his mistake . He smiles at his grandmother respectfully .

Grandmother Kamiyama has been watching their interaction like a hawk . She hmphs in Rie's direction before sitting down on the chair . After the matriarch of the family is seated, all the other members also take a seat .  

Rie looks around and notices that Harumi's face is not visible among all the maids . Did she leave the job? She liked that girl . Among all the servants, that girl was a little better .  

"What's wrong?" He has been paying attention to her since she recovered her memories . He doesn't want to make any mistake toward her . He wants her to feel her at ease with him and his family .

Kiyohira doesn't know what her favorite dishes are . So, he prepared everything that she might like . He wants to see which one she will pick up first . Her eyes linger on the dishes with disinterest . She picks up a deep-fried chicken leg from all the dishes .

Her tastes are rather simple .  

In Rie's mind, a forgotten memory resurfaces again . She could hear the distant sound of children's laughter . Suddenly, she finds herself on the ground behind the school . The kids are laughing at her as Miwako stuffs her mouth with trash .  

The chicken leg drops on the plate . Kiyohira stares at her . Her face is ghastly pale . She must be thinking of something bad . He places his hand on her back and whispers to her ear, "Rie, I am here . You are safe . "

Safe . The word makes her feel strange . She meets his eyes . She doesn't trust him . Is she capable of being normal? She doesn't know that either .  

She picks up the chicken leg again . She can overcome this weakness of hers . She doesn't want to suffer because of her own memories .

"Chisa's father called . " Grandmother Kamiyama speaks up when she's about to take a bite .

The poor chicken leg drop on the plate again .

"Oh?" Kiyohira wonders if he should feed her . But, she could mind it as she did once in the past .  

"I have broken the engagement before they could find out . " Grandmother Kamiyam observes Rie's reaction . There is no change in her expression . The girl is extremely quiet . It's her grandson who is frowning darkly . She realizes that her grandson is the one who loves the girl . The girl probably doesn't feel the same as her grandson did . Then, why did this girl marry her grandson?

"Hmm . . . " So, they haven't found out that he and Rie have married already . Where are the snooping journalists when he needs them? Nevertheless, this is a good chance . Kiyohira suddenly grins in Rie's direction . "When do you want to have a wedding ceremony?"

She narrows her eyes on him . "Wedding ceremony?"

"Though we are married on paper, we should have a wedding ceremony . " Kiyohira sounds both amused and teasing . "How about next week?"

"Brother, what about this weekend? We shouldn't delay the good things . " Takes.h.i.+ smiles widely . If they get married in public, the news will travel faster . A certain someone will find out even faster .

Grandmother Kamiyama is fuming . Both of her grandsons have gone mad . "Kiyohira, you won't have a wedding ceremony with that girl . n.o.body must know about your marriage with her until I approve of her . "

He didn't expect to hear that . Kiyohira hides the displeasure in his heart and ignores his grandmother . "Rie, is weekend good?"

It might be hectic to arrange a wedding ceremony at such a short time . But, nothing is impossible with money and power .  

"No, I don't like wearing dresses . " Rie's appet.i.te is gone since she heard the name 'Chisa' . Wedding ceremonies are tiresome . She needs to plan how to get back at that woman . Has.h.i.+moto Chisa . What she has been up to? 

Rie doesn't have time to play wife to him . His grandmother doesn't approve of her either .

"Then, wear what you like . " He squeezes her hand . "The whole nation must know that I belong to you . "

Didn't she want that? Kiyohira is sure that she wants Chisa to know that they are married . What other way is better than a grand wedding ceremony? 

"Kiyohira, show some respect . " Grandmother Kamiyama stands up and slams her hands on the table . "If you want to have a wedding ceremony, then go ahead without my blessings . I won't attend it . "

She glares at Rie once before strutting away from the table in anger . Kiyohira sighs . His grandmother is being difficult . He is sure that she will plan something since she didn't 

"Don't mind her . She will accept you soon . " He strokes her head . "Eat . You didn't have breakfast this morning . "

Takes.h.i.+ realizes that his sister-in-law is not behaving normally . Her eyes are not the same . She has changed drastically . Then, it would have been strange if she didn't change after what happened to her when she was abducted . His brother needs to tread carefully in this relations.h.i.+p . One wrong step and he might lose her entirely .

However, Rie doesn't care about his grandmother's approval . She is thinking deeply . Chisa doesn't know it yet . Then, it must happen before she finds out from other sources .

"I am not hungry . " She gets up with an expressionless face . "The weekend is too far . I want to have it tomorrow . "

She walks out of the house after telling him of her decision .
