Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 86: Chloe Wilkinson

Eleanor returned to Manchester at midnight. She called Ethan and learned that Freya had already fallen asleep, so she decided not to disturb her. Instead, she went to her villa and planned to pick her up the next day after school.

Early the next morning, Teresa was waiting outside to take her to the property management office. Now that all the surrounding villas had been purchased, they needed to choose a new design for the boundary walls to ensure consistency throughout the estate.

The office was only a ten-minute walk from her villa, so they decided to stroll there together. The air was crisp, and the trees lining the path swayed gently in the morning breeze. The streets were quiet, save for the occasional birdcall or passing cyclist.

When they arrived, the office had just opened. Not all of the staff had reported for duty yet, and the front lobby was empty.

Noticing new customers entering the premises, a sales assistant named Chloe Wilkinson quickly got up from her desk, her eyes lighting up with hope. She rushed to open the glass door with a warm, rehearsed smile.

"Welcome to Liberty Properties," she greeted cheerfully.

But her smile faltered slightly when she saw there was no car parked out front. Still, observing their clothes... stylish, well-fitted, and clearly expensive than hers, she assumed they might at least be interested in purchasing a small apartment. And since she was the only sales assistant present at the moment, any sale would earn her the commission.

With that in mind, she gestured politely to the sofa. "Esteemed guests, please have a seat."

Eleanor and Teresa sat down gracefully. Both women were strikingly beautiful, the kind who turn surrounding heads towards them effortlessly. Chloe handed them each a glossy brochure and asked with a customer-friendly smile, "We offer everything from studio apartments to luxury villas. Since you both look quite young, may I ask... would you prefer a studio or perhaps a family apartment?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Eleanor and did a double take. Something about her looked familiar.

Before she could dwell on it further, Teresa, who had been typing a quick message to the property manager, looked up and said calmly, "We’re not here to buy a house."
