Maeve rushed and got her phone from the cushion and she dialed Wright’s number again. And just like other times, it rang but he did not pick up.
“See, this is what I am talking about,” She said to the girls.
“Okay, maybe I should try it one more time so that you girls would see for yourselves,” She said.
She dialed the number again and just like the first time, her call was not answered. She was already frustrated and in anger, she tried to smash the phone on the phone but fortunately, it landed on the cushion.
“I would definitely not forgive him for this” She spats.
Davina could perfectly understand what Maeve was going through and she had compassion for her. Even though she was sure that Wright is a good man and would not intentionally be so mean to his family, she still believe that there was no excuse for him to stand his wife up for this long and never deemed it fit to get across to her.
“What about you call his office? From there you can get to know about his whereabouts” Davina suggested.
“That sounds like a great idea. Mum let’s call his office” Riley agreed.
Maeve looked at the two girls and she dialed Wright’s office. The phone rang and a male picked it.
Maeve was excited and tried to hide it.
“Hello Mrs. Wright” the receiver greeted.
“Hello. Please I am calling to find out if my husband is at the office” Maeve said.
“Is he not with you yet?” the receiver inquired.
Maeve was already getting irritated by the questions she was been asked “If he is here, why should I be calling”
“Sorry ma, he went for a meeting with Riona. But he was supposed to come to get you at home as soon as he was done with the meeting” the receiver replied.
“I see. Thanks” Maeve hung up.
“He went to see Riona and by extension Cindy” Maeve announced to the girls.
“Okay, if he had gone to see Rio, then that is not a big deal. But do you suspect he is having something with Cindy?” Riley asked.
“I am no fool. Riona would have picked her over me”
“But you are married to dad now. And both he and Cindy don’t strike as such sort of people” Riley said.
“You know very little Riley, this is not the first time that Wright would be doing this. He got away with it the first time but this time, if he tries to play down on me, I would show all of them that I am a fierce and rigorous werewolf and I am not that weary thing that he used to know” Maeve smirked.
“It is okay mum, I still believe that you are taking this too far and this is not you” Riley tried to calm her mum.
“Don’t dare me, Wright, don’t dare me” Maeve growled.
“Allow her Riley, humans can stretch one beyond his limit,” Davina told Riley.
“This is not you Davina. What the hell has come upon the both of you?” Riley asked.
She was surprised at how her mum and her friend are taking this. She believed they are taking it too far.
“You are yet to understand Riley. When it comes to matters of the heart, you do everything to make sure it is unhurt” Davina said.
“I have been hurt too, but that should not turn me into a beast,” Riley said.
Davina smirks “A beast?”
“Okay, I agree that people already see us as beasts. But that also does not mean that we should act as one” Riley said.
“We are werewolves for a reason, Riley. A beast should not allow itself to be used as a push-around pet” Davina said.
