”I don't mean it,” Blue said, her brows scrunched tightly. She didn't mean to claw him, but why was she being scolded?
”Stop saying that.” Gael put out his cigarette and dropped the envelope that he had brought into Blue's lap. ”Here, take a look at this.”
At the same time, Anne came to the room and saw what Gael gave to Blue. ”Is it done already?”
”Hmm,” Gael hummed as an answer and changed the channel, watching cartoons instead. He was not into sports and sometimes, his favorite tv show could be way more childish than Blue. ”Should you use Blue as your name? It sounds weird.”
”I like Blue,” Blue said, she tore the envelope open and took out a few papers from inside, as she stared at them in confusion.
”So, who does she become?” Anne asked, and moved closer to look at the papers in Blue's hands.
”Knox's daughter.” Gael grinned as he said that and then started laughing. He should have given this envelope earlier to see his reaction when he found out about this.
”He will kill you,” Anne commented casually.
Gael shrugged and wiped off the joyful tears from his eyes. ”He has been trying to kill me since ages ago, I just gave him another reason to make that happen.” And then he added with a mischievous glint in his eyes, ”He didn't help me at all with this, so it is up to me.”
”What is this?” Blue gave the papers in her hands to Anne, she didn't understand them in the slightest.
”This is your birth certificate and all the documents that you will need in the future,” Anne explained to her in an easy way.
It was easy to make such documents if you had loads of money and great influence.
”Look.” Anne pointed at two words on the paper. ”This is your name, do you like it?”
Blue frowned. ”I can't read,” she said, mumbling.
”Why? Your eyes are not good? Do you need glasses?” Gael cocked his head to see the words, maybe the font was too small, but the size of the words was just fine.
”No, I can't read.” Blue repeated her words. ”Daddy had not taught me how to read.”
Gael's eyes widened when he heard that, but one fierce glance from Anne made him tone down his overrated response. Instead he spoke in a low voice, as if what he was saying would be something embarrassing.
”You are supposed to be in second grade and if you can't read, no one will agree to befriend you,” he said.
Hearing that, Blue turned her head sharply and glared at him, she raised her hand, but before she could do something, Gael had spoken first.
”No clawing!”
