The boy shook his head and sighed. “I’m. jealous of you.” That only made Jewel more perplexed. “What for?”
Carter shook his head and exaggerated, I’m jealous because you can see a pretty girl every day!’ Jewel was taken aback, and it took her a while to figure out that he was referring to her. She rubbed his head and chirped, “Why are you such a sweetheart?”
He propped his chin adorably. “I probably had too many sweets growing up!” As soon as his words fell, it prompted laughter from people around them.
It was human nature to love compliments. Not only was Carter good at praising others, but he was also one of the rare people who could dish out compliments in a creative manner.
Olivia looked around him and found no supervising adult, so she asked out of curiosity, “Whom did you come with? Do you not have anyone with you?” He thought about it and guessed, “Do you mean those people?” He pointed his tiny finger in a direction.
Wow! There stood four bodyguards clad in black, along with a woman, whom Olivia assumed to be Carter’s assistant. His crew reminded her of the little boy she met back at Promise Island. Back then, the boy was probably annoyed when she disturbed him and ordered his bodyguards to show up. The boy from the island was around the same age as Carter, but he was definitely colder than this sweetheart before her.
At last, she was relieved to learn that he had adult supervision. “There’s an opening ceremony later. Just follow me around.”
“Okay, Mom!” She was completely smitten with the little boy and reached out to give him a pinch on his smooth cheek. Up until the opening ceremony at noon, she had been taking care of him. She even held his hand and walked him down the red carpet.
