Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 46: She is My Daughter

Ethan was surprised by the sharp tone in Eleanor’s voice. Until now, he had never heard her speak so seriously. Instantly sensing the weight of the situation, he straightened up, set down the teacup he had been sipping from, and looked her in the eye.

"Okay. I’m listening," he said calmly.

"What exactly have you been doing with Freya these past few days? I’ve noticed you’ve been spending a lot of time with her. Don’t you have a business to run?" she asked, her eyes narrowing.

"Yes, I do. But I can operate my business from anywhere. Over the past few years, I’ve appointed capable people to the key positions. Even if I don’t show up for a month, everything still runs smoothly," he replied confidently.

"You’re avoiding the question. Don’t think I didn’t notice. What have you been teaching Freya lately?" she asked, her voice rising slightly.

"Nothing serious. We just play together. She enjoys it. That’s all," he said with a shrug.

"Then what’s with the sudden restrictions on kisses and hugs from me? Do you think I’d bring home germs and harm my own daughter?" she snapped.

"That’s... not exactly what I told her," he admitted, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

"Then what did you tell her?" she demanded.

Ethan sighed, clearly uncomfortable. "I don’t understand why you’re acting like this. If you have a problem with how I’m interacting with her, just say it. I’ll adjust."

"Who gave you permission to take Freya out of the house without informing me?" she finally asked, revealing the real source of her frustration. Earlier that day, when she returned home and didn’t see her daughter, she had panicked. Although Freya seemed happy and safe, the fact that Ethan had taken her outside without so much as a message deeply bothered her... especially seeing how close they were becoming. It made Eleanor feel threatened, like her place in Freya’s heart was at risk.

"Can’t I take my daughter out to play?" he asked, trying to keep his voice even. "I made sure everything was secure. There was no danger."

"She is my daughter. She doesn’t leave the house without my permission," Eleanor said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"She’s my daughter too," he said, though his voice lacked strength, sounded like a mosquito.
