Chapter 888: Chapter 890

Carter’s eyes lit up at once. “Madam, are you really willing to be my mom?” Olivia was in a dilemma. Worried that North might get jealous, she replied hesitatingly, “Actually, it’s just a form of address. Regardless of whether you call me Mom or Madam, deep down inside, I’ll still treat you as if you’re my child.”

His eyes lost all their earlier sparkle as he stared at her. He stood there a little awkwardly as he answered dutifully, “Oh, I see.

Thank you, Madam.”

He gave her a deep bow and explained, “It’s just that I see that all other children have moms, and I thought that you treat me especially well, like a mom. I’m sorry for getting the wrong idea.”

His eyes welled up with tears that glistened in the light. It was a pitiful sight. Olivia’s heart ached as if someone was squeezing it.

She pulled Carter into her arms. “Why are you apologizing? You call me Mom because of the characters we play, but if you want me to be like a mom to you, you can call me Godmother!”

He seemed to be in disbelief as he tentatively tried to confirm what she had just said. “Is that true, Madam? Do you agree to be my mom?”

She stroked his head. “Yeah. Who wouldn’t want a bright and wonderful son like you?”

Although North might get jealous, he has a kind soul. I’m sure he’d agree as well once he finds out about this child’s suffering.

She would find the time to talk to North about this and introduce the two boys to each other.

Carter’s smile was so wide that it filled his entire face, but even so, he looked a little shy as he nestled closer to Olivia and called out a little timidly, “Godmother.”

She acknowledged him with a smile. “From now on, you’re my son. If anyone hurts you or mistreats you, come and tell me, and I’ll make them pay.”

He patted his tiny chest and promised, “Godmother, I’ll protect you, too. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” She let out a laugh. “Okay.

From now on, I have someone who’s looking out for me, too.”

He came close and hugged her again. ‘I missed you so much, Godmother,” She returned the hug. “I missed you, too.” Then, she got up and said, “Come. Let’s go inside.”

Meanwhile, Jewel shook her head helplessly. Well, at least her mood’s better now that she has this child to keep her company.

Olivia didn’t plan on jumping back into filming today even though she came to the set. She was just here to talk to Norris and let him know that he could arrange for her to start filming her scenes tomorrow.

She left the set after saying a few words to the director, but before she could go any further, Carter ran out after her.

“Godmother,” he called out to her sweetly. She was taken aback. “Why did you come out, too? Are you done with your scenes for the day?”

He nodded. “Yes. I’ll buy you something to eat, Godmother.” Olivia chuckled. “Why would I let you pay for me? Let’s go. It’ll be my treat.”

“No, I want to pay,” he insisted. “It’s to celebrate that I have a mom now.” She didn’t try to debate this with him. She was still going to pay the bill later. “Let’s go. Miss Jewel will be joining us, too.”

He glanced at Jewel and smiled. “Okay.” The three of them got into a car, and Carter directed them through many twists and turns until they stopped in front of a restaurant.

All along, Olivia was curious to know where the boy was taking her. However, when the car stopped in front of the familiar restaurant, she finally realized why the street felt so familiar to her.

Isn’t this the restaurant recommended for couples that Eugene and I frequented?
