Chapter 90 - HIS CURSE (1/2)
”I simply want to make it simple for him. He has been pestering me for the whole day, just to ask about the monster,” she complained.
”Both of you are not allowed to talk about that in public.”
”I am not talking about it, he did.” Blue pointed an accusing finger at Nikolai.
Meanwhile, the boy raised both of his hands. ”But, no one was there, I am sure there was no one listening.”
”Ah…” Gael sighed deeply when he saw this. Children…
=================
Nikolai's house had been renovated and it looked worth living in again. Probably after the attack of the minotaur, his father finally realized that they wouldn't be able to live in such a house.
”Thank you, Mr. McKeltar,” Nikolai said as he came out of the car.
Gael waved his hand and was about to drive away when he heard his phone ringing. He took the call first before he drove away.
It was Nathen.
Everything that he said would be important, thus he took the call.
”Yes?” Gael listened to what he was saying and Blue could see his expression change instantly. ”What? Are you sure about that?”
Gael's jaw clenched tightly as his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
”I will be there immediately,” Gael said before he hung up the phone. He reversed the car a little before he turned the car around. He headed in the opposite direction.
”Hm? Where are we going?” Blue asked him when she realized they were not heading to their home.
”I have to handle a matter for a while, no biggie, just a little bit of a problem, you can wait inside the car, okay?” Gael said. He looked restless and Blue assumed he was not telling the truth.
”Okay,” Blue agreed with him and crawled to the backseat as she took a nap there, not really caring where Gael would take her.
====================
”Blue. Wake up. Blue.”
Gael shook her awake when they arrived at their destination.
The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at him, while still laying on the backseat. ”Hm?” she mumbled.
”I will go for a while, stay here, okay?” Gael said, and looked around him, slightly worried. ”Or, do you want to come with me?”
”No, I will stay inside the car,” Blue said, she then rolled to her other side and continued sleeping. Her lips slightly ajar.
”All right then…” Gael then opened the window so she wouldn't get suffocated inside the car, as he gave the car keys to Nathen. ”You don't need to come with me, just keep your eyes on her.”
Nathen nodded.
