Brian hung up and lay back down on his bed. spreadeagled. Hah. Thatâll show you not to disturb me. Get wrecked.
North followed his mother to the set the next day, and everyone came to say hi. Most of them were trying to butter up to him since Northâs mother was Olivia. âOh, your son is handsome.â
âMan, heâs got the looks.â A frown furrowed Northâs brow. He didnât like how they were patting his head and pinching his cheeks.
Coldly, he said, âCan you not touch me?â He tried to be aloof, but he still looked cute.
Instead of getting angry, everyone only thought he was cute. Finally, North couldnât take it anymore. âIâll go around, Mommy.â
âDonât wander too far off,â Olivia said.
âOkay.â North left the room. I didnât see Carter. Heâs probably still not here, so Iâll wait. As expected, Carter showed up after a while. Three bodyguards followed him. âCarter!â North shouted.
Carter looked at him in surprise. âYou know me? Who are you?â Proudly, North said, âNone of your business. Just know I know you.â
âYouâre a fan of mine?â North did not take that comment well. âIâm not your fan.â âWhy are you talking to me, then?â âI heard you got yourself a godmother yesterday.â
Carter nodded. âYeah. Why?â North humphed and approached Carter. He hissed, âWhy did you want to find yourself a godmother? What is your goal?â
The bodyguards exchanged a look. We donât have to stop this kid, right? They looked at Carter, but the boy said nothing. He was frowning at North. âWhatâs that got to do with you?â
âEverything. Tell me the truth, or Iâm telling your godmother youâre lying to her. All of it.â Panicked, Carter said, âI didnât lie to her.â
âThen why do you want her to be your godmother?â North demanded. Carter said, âSheâs nice to me and I like her. Thatâs none of your business.â North snorted. âYeah right. I bet youâre trying to get something from her.â
Infuriated, Carter growled, âNonsense. I wish nothing but the best for her. Tell another lie and youâre getting it.â Then, he walked into the set.
North stared at him as he left. He doesnât look like a bad kid. Is he really doing this just because he likes Mommy? Forget it. I have dirt on him. If he tries anything stupid, Iâll make their address public and get that bad guy to take them back. North shrugged it off and followed Carter inside.
The moment he entered the set, he saw Carter holding a cup of milk while talking to Olivia. âHere, godmother. For you. Itâs filled with nutrients.â
Olivia smiled. âYou have it. Youâre growing, so you need it.â Carter grinned. âI had a cup before I came.â He handed another cup of milk to Jewel. âHere, Miss Jewel.â
Jewel took it happily. âThank you, Carter.â North trotted up to them and took the milk Olivia was holding. âWhat did you put in the milk?â He shot Carter a glare..
