“Charlotte…”
Morton slipped away from Anthony’s reach and hurried to Charlotte’s side, shooting Anthony a suspicious look. “Who is he?”
Anthony drew his hand back, slid it into his pocket, and gave Charlotte a look that was somewhere between a smile and a smirk.
“He’s my boyfriend,” Charlotte said, opening a bag of snacks. She popped a piece of dried fruit into her mouth, then held one out for Anthony.
It tasted sweet.
Anthony looked pleased, a genuine warmth flickering in his eyes.
Morton made a grumpy noise and looked away, obviously annoyed. He was definitely not happy about any of this.
How long had he been gone? And now Charlotte suddenly had a boyfriend?
Wasn’t there an agreement? He was supposed to eat his meals, grow up fast, make a ton of money, and then take care of Charlotte himself.
And Anthony… He looked kind of scary. What if he was mean to Charlotte?
“Hey, Morton.” Anthony nodded in his direction, lips curving into a small, polite smile.
Morton just stared at the ground, refusing to answer.
He decided he’d watch for now. If this guy was good to Charlotte, maybe it was fine. But if he ever made her upset…
Morton clenched his fists, cheeks puffed out, looking like he was ready to defend her no matter what.
“Morton’s just a little shy around new people,” Charlotte explained quietly to Anthony.
As soon as she finished, Morton’s parents, Hamlin and Zoe, walked over.
