Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - Schemes

Eleanor sat anxiously in the waiting room of Heaton Mersey Independent School. Although the headmistress, Stella Rimington, had reassured her that there was nothing to worry about, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. It was just an assessment to determine Freya's classroom placement, yet she found herself glancing at her wristwatch repeatedly, counting down the fifteen minutes as if they stretched into an eternity.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, Freya appeared in the waiting room, accompanied by a teacher. She looked perfectly fine as she walked straight into her mother's embrace.

The teacher smiled warmly. "Although she surpassed the level of a third-grade student during the assessment, considering her age, we've decided to enroll her in first grade. The children in that class will be around six to seven years old. Otherwise, she might feel lonely among older classmates."

Ethan stood up and extended his hand. "Thank you, Miss. What should we do next?"

The teacher replied, "We've already informed the admissions office, which is right beside the main entrance. If you head there now, they will guide you through the next steps."

After expressing their gratitude, the trio made their way to the admissions office. By the time they finished all the paperwork and emerged from the school, it was already close to noon.

Ethan turned to Eleanor. "Grandma is in town. If you don't have any urgent matters to attend to, let's have lunch at her villa."

Eleanor hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

Freya clapped her hands excitedly. "Yay! I want to see Great-Grandma!"

Ethan chuckled. "Alright then, let's go."
