Carter’s eyes lit up at once. “Madam, are you really willing to be my mom?” Olivia was in a dilemma. Worried that North might get jealous, she replied hesitatingly, “Actually, it’s just a form of address. Regardless of whether you call me Mom or Madam, deep down inside, I’ll still treat you as if you’re my child.”

His eyes lost all their earlier sparkle as he stared at her. He stood there a little awkwardly as he answered dutifully, “Oh, I see. Thank you, Madam.”

He gave her a deep bow and explained, “It’s just that I see that all other children have moms, and I thought that you treat me especially well, like a mom. I’m sorry for getting the wrong idea.”

You call me Mom because of the characters we play, but if you want me to be like a mom to you, you can call me Godmother!”

He seemed to be in disbelief as he tentatively tried to confirm what she had just said. “Is that true, Madam? Do you agree to be my mom?”
