"My father betrayed my mother," Lisa replied.
"Betraying? Can you tell me in more detail?"
That night on a text message, Lisa told Scott that her father had been having an affair long before her mother died. Exactly when her mother was sick, her father was having an affair. They met at a school reunion.
Lisa was deeply disappointed and saddened that the father she had respected turned out to be a traitor to her mother. She had a close relationship with her father and this fact hit her hard.
And tomorrow was what Lisa had been waiting for, a barbeque held by her father. And now her father has reached Stowe along with his new lover. Tomorrow is the day her father will introduce his girlfriend to his family and friends who live in Stowe.
Lisa ked her boyfriend for her opinion.
"Scott, what do you think?" Lisa wanted to avoid the barbeque, but she didn't want to hurt her father's feelings, because he had been traveling for nearly five hours just to see her and Sean, then enthusiastically prepared everything necessary for the barbeque this weekend. When she finished telling Scott everything, Lisa as asked.
"I'm sorry, Lisa, if I had a different opinion from you. The only conclusion I got from your story is that your father cheated on your mother right when your mother was sick. But we don't know what your mom and dad went through. He may have tried to keep the marriage the best he could, but he was still a man who needed someone to give him biological satisfaction. Your mother was very sick at the time, so she was unable to make love to your father, while your father was just a man who couldn't always pay attention, he also needed attention. While you guys are growing up and having your own thing. The loneliness and fatigue pushed him to cross the line, and he was accidentally introduced to his old schoolmate. Please, you have to make a good relationship with your father. He needs all of you, he's just a human in need of affection. I guess in his heart he didn't mean to betray your mother. Are you feeling any better?" Scott answered.
"Your explanation is long and complete. Yeah, I feel better and I don't think you can think that way," Lisa says.
"I'm just trying to see a problem from different sides. Anyway for the barbeque tomorrow, can I bring my friends?" Scott asked.
"Of course you can, the events will be much more crowded if there are more people."
"Thank you, Lisa. I'll just take my two best friends, Tom and Katie if they want. Go to bed and calm yourself. I'm gonna go to bed, too. Good night, I love you."
"I love you too," Lisa replied.
Tom who was sitting next to Scott was quite surprised to see his friendly smile and reply. Then he asked: "You are in love. Be honest, is she the girl that fell with you down the cliff?"
Scott looked at his friend and said, "Yeah, she's the girl. From the moment I saw her I knew that she was my partner, I just never thought we'd meet at the bottom of the cliff. At first, I wanted to refuse her as my partner, because I wanted to go with someone from our pack who's also a werewolf. However, I tried to get to know her first and found out she was different. Maybe that's why Moon Goddess chose her for me.”
"Different how?" asked Tom.
"She's different from girls her age. She's older, and I don't know, there's something in her that makes me want to protect her and have her. I felt at ease with her and slowly it made me realize that she was the right girl for me, "Sam replied.
At the same time, it turned out that Katie was standing nearby with two plates of food. The girl was shocked by Scott's words, her heart filled with jealousy, and if Lisa had been come to them, she might have been able to be with Scott.
That vendetta required him to execute his next plan as soon as possible. He had to call Fred back and start putting their plan into action.
