Carter frowned. Innocently, he said, ‘I didn’t put anything in it. I bought this.” North gave him the milk. “Then drink it.”
Olivia stopped her son, “North, he’s just being. nice. She introduced, ‘Carter, this is North. He’s my son, so that makes him your godbrother.” She then looked at North. “North, this is my godson, Carter.”
Realization struck Carter. No wonder he got in my way and said all that stuff. “I like her, but I won’t take her away from you. I’m not trying to get anything here.”
He took the milk from North and gulped half of it before he handed it to North. “See, I didn’t put any…” And he spat some milk out. He froze and blinked in innocence as he forced the rest of the milk down his throat. He quickly explained, ‘I didn’t spike the drink. Just drank too much, that’s all.”
The boy rubbed his belly, and Olivia was amused. ‘Alright, alright. I believe you.” Carter looked so funny that North almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. “You’d better be who you say you are.”
Carter smiled at him. “So, you’re Godmother’s son. Great, I have a brother now.” North shot him an awkward look. “I’m not going to be your brother.” Carter blinked. “Then, I’ll be your brother.”
North shot him a look. “Same difference.” Carter laughed, and Olivia smiled. She had. confidence Carter could be good friends with North soon. He is a good kid, after all.
“Oh, whose kid is this?” a man at the doorstep asked. Olivia looked at the door and saw Avery standing there. To be precise, it was Christoff in Avery’s disguise. She was speechless. What the hell is he doing?
He disguised himself and came to play a role in the drama. He doesn’t have many scenes, but it’s going to take a week. He has too much time on his hands. She answered, “Mine.”
That surprised Christoff. So, this is Eugene’s kid. ‘He’s handsome.” Christoff patted North’s head. North moved away impatiently. Adults. So annoying. Can they stop patting my head?
“Well, you’re feisty. Just like your mother.” He gave Olivia a flirty look, much to her annoyance. I can’t let North notice. She said, “North, go to Jewel. I have to shoot a scene with Carter.” North asked, “Can I come?”
A moment of hesitation later, Olivia said, “Sure, if you’d like.”
It wasn’t like she didn’t want him to come. She was just worried the boy might take the scene the wrong way. The scene involved a character played by Christoff confessing to the character played by Olivia. But so far so good. North still looks at Carter and me like it’s nothing. Olivia felt a bit more at ease.
And then it was time for Caspian to confess. It was just a few lines and no intimate scenes, but Christoff who thought he was friends with her now-got bolder.
