Oftentimes, a love for someone would extend to the things related to that person. Now that the circumstances were different, Olivia no longer felt the same feeling she had when she came to this restaurant with Eugene.
She never thought that Carter would bring her to this restaurant. “Have you come here before?’ She eyed the little boy beside her curiously. He flashed her a smile. “Godmother, my younger brother works here. I’ll introduce him to you, okay?”
She was surprised to hear that. “You have a younger brother?” “I have two,’ he corrected. She was speechless. What does this mean? Am I going to be a godmother to three boys?
She hadn’t even figured out how to introduce Carter to North yet. Olivia and Jewel glanced at each other, and she noticed the shock in Jewel’s eyes as well. It finally dawned on them that they knew very little about Carter.
He was very secretive and only had his bodyguards and staff with him. They had never seen his family before. Everything they knew about him came from what he told them. They had no way of verifying the information.
What was even more astonishing was the fact that Olivia hadn’t noticed anything amiss before this. She even agreed to be his godmother.
He must be a genius at winning the hearts of others! It has only been a few days! As soon as the trio entered the restaurant, a server came over to greet them with a smile.
“You’re here again, Carter. Are you here to look for your brother?” “Nope! I’m here as a customer today,” he announced cheekily. “I booked the Haven. Lounge earlier.”
The server chuckled. “Oh? So, you’re Mr. Rogers, who booked our private room? In that case, come with me.” He turned around and led them up to the third floor.
Olivia and Jewel were still in a daze. Isn’t he a little too independent for his age? Also, when did he book a private room in this restaurant?
Soon, they arrived outside the private room, but Carter stopped in his tracks and turned to the two women with a smile. “Godmother, Miss Jewel, can you please cover your eyes first?”
As Olivia stared at his tender, little face, she thought to herself, If this boy was sent here to take me down, he has succeeded.
After all the training they received in the past, they kept their guard up against everyone. Those who managed to get close to them were those who passed the test.
Yet, even though she knew this child was enigmatic, she still accepted the cloth he passed her and covered her eyes with it. She wasn’t feeling wary of the possibility that something dangerous might be hidden inside the room.
Her willingness to go along with Carter was far more than what she thought. Jewel did likewise. He took Olivia’s hand and smiled. “Hold my hand, Godmother. You can open your eyes once I tell you so.”
“Okay,” she replied. Thus, she walked into the room while holding the little boy’s hand. The light inside the room seemed to be dimmer than the corridor outside, but she could sense that there were other people in the room. She could even hear their breathing too.
Just as she was still lost in thought over what Carter was doing, she heard his voice ringing out. “You can take off the blindfold now, Godmother.”
She undid the blindfold around her eyes, and what greeted her was a warmly decorated room. One look was enough for her to tell that a lot of time and effort went into the decorations. There were ribbons and balloons all over, and the wall opposite her had a glowing neon sign that read, ‘I Love You, Mom!’
The table was set with a large cake and three bouquets of flowers-red roses, pink carnations, and white lilies.
These were all well and good, but what took Olivia by surprise the most was the two little boys across from her who looked to be about the same age as Carter and had similar features to him. They were also gazing at her curiously.
