The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 7

Wright climbs down the stairs at a quick pace. He does not want to keep Riona waiting for him longer than necessary. After Riona left his room, he had taken just ten minutes to get ready as he knows how important today is to Riona and he would not want to spoil it for her.

“I am ready Rio” He calls.

He walked up to the dining table and saw that Riona was sitting on it.

“Are you not ready yet?” He asked.

“I am dad” Riona replied.

“Okay let’s leave already. Hope I did not keep you waiting longer than was necessary?” Wright asked.

“No dad, you were really fast” Riona responded.

He noticed that Riona was still seated at the dining table and was making no effort to get up for them to leave and he wondered why this was so.

“So, can we,” He said, making some gestures with his hands as he pointed them to the door.

“We need to eat dad” Riona informed him.

Wright suddenly realized that there were two plates covered on the dining table. He had not taken notice of them when he first came. He thought Riona had taken breakfast while waiting for him.

“Really, you have not eaten yet?” Wright asked.

“Actually, I was waiting for you,” Riona said.

“I did not even notice,” Wright said.

He took a seat in front of his plate of food.

“Thanks for the meal, Rio. That is so thoughtful of you” Wright said.

“Okay dad, you can open now, let’s start eating,” Riona said.

They both opened their meal and started eating. When they were done eating, they got up and went out of the house.

Outside the house, Wright opened the door of the passenger’s seat for Riona and she entered the car. He went and opened the driver’s door, got into the car, ignited the engine, and started to drive.

“I am glad that you are going back to school again honey” Wright announced.

“I am too. And I would like to take the online classes so as to meet up with the rest” Riona said.

“That is great,” Wright said.

Wright is so happy at the zeal Riona had started school with. He knows that if she keeps up at this pace, she would be up to date with her peers in no time.

“When would that be, can you start today?” Wright asked.

“Not today dad, I plan on doing that on weekends” Riona replied.

“Yeah, weekends would be just fine. In that way, it would not interfere with your regular weekdays learning” Wright concurred.

“The other day, you were saying that you want to do science, are you still going ahead with that?” Wright asked.

“Yes, dad that is what I have decided” Riona responded.

“Okay, you see I am not in any way trying to discourage you from this. But how would you do that considering the fact that you have never taken any science-related subjects in your junior high?” Wright asked.

“And that is why I intend to go the extra length to make up for them now. If I can pass my promotional exams, I doubt if anything would stop me from doing science in senior high school” Riona replied.

“I see,” Wright said.

“Dad, I am putting in my very best for this, you’ve got to believe me,” Riona said.

“I do believe you, Rio. I know you put in your best in whatever you set your mind to. I trust you on this one” Wright said.

“Thanks, dad” Riona smiled.

Wright gave Riona a high five, and they both hit their hands against each other.

“Go out there and make me proud Rio” Wright screamed.

Riona began to laugh at her dad’s actions.
