Chapter 110: Family Trip
On the other side, Raphael was finally able to enjoy salone twith Laila. It had been a hectic few days,
but now that they were back in the kingdom, the pace had slowed just enough for them to relax and connect.
He spent that tlearning about Laila’s past life... where she grew up, what she liked to do, her favorite food,
her hobbies, and even small things like her favorite color and birthday. He asked about her dreams for the future,
her goals, and the kind of life she wanted to build. Laila, in turn, found herself opening up more than she had
expected. Something about Raphael felt warm and sincere.
Although Raphael was a little awkward at times... mostly due to his limited social experience outside the
werewolf clan. Laila found his efforts endearing. She already knew he was a good person, someone who meant
well even if he didn’t always find the right words.
What Laila didn’t know was that Raphael had felt a strong connection to her from the moment they fought back
at Imperial Haven. That moment had left an impression on him... so much so that he had immediately
recommended her to Eleanor for recruitment. It wasn’t just about her skills; it was something more instinctive.
But Laila was human. She had no understanding of werewolf customs, especially not when it cto love. For
werewolves, love was sacred... something divine. When a werewolf felt that someone was destined for them,
they would move heaven and earth to win their heart. Race didn’t matter. Past didn’t matter. Once the bond was
sensed... what werewolves called "a blessing from the Moon Goddess", and there was no turning back.
If the other person didn’t reciprocate the feelings, swerewolves would choose to stay single for life. Even
after their partner's death, many would remain loyal to that memory, never seeking companionship again.
That was why scalled this "blessing" a curse.
While the two of them talked and laughed, oblivious to the world, the plane had already crossed the border and
reached the kingdom. No one disturbed them. Everyone could see that something was happening between
them, and they respected their space.
Once they landed, Eleanor headed straight to her private villa. The Shadow Team had already moved into one of
the neighbouring villas she had recently purchased. Everyone dispersed upon arrival, taking smuch-needed
tto rest and reset.
Eleanor tasked Cassandra with escorting Anastasiya and Laila to another villa nearby, where Teresa and
Cassandra were temporarily staying. Anastasiya initially protested, she wanted to stay in a hotel instead... but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEleanor ignored her objections and made the decision for her. It wasn’t a request. It was final.
Once all responsibilities were sorted, Eleanor returned to her own room. She took a long, hot shower, letting the
stress of the past few days melt away. Then she called Ethan to let him know she was back.
She decided she’d meet Freya the next morning since the little girl’s school was currently on holiday. She hadn't
planned to speak to Freya that night, but fate had other plans.
While Ethan was on the phone, Freya cinto the room and saw her mother on the screen. Her eyes lit up, and
she immediately reached for the phone.
"Mommy, when will you come?" she asked, her voice full of excitement and longing.
"I just returned," Eleanor said softly. "I'll have breakfast with you tomorrow."
"But Mommy, | missed you so much!" Freya said, her voice trembling slightly.
"I know, baby. | missed you too. But Mommy has swork to finish. Be patient, and we'll go to the amusement
park tomorrow. Just the two of us... and Daddy too."
"Yay! Amusement park!" Freya cheered. "But Mommy, | want to ride the giant slide this time!"
"Don’t worry, sweetheart. We'll ride the slide together," Eleanor promised with a smile.
Ethan, listening nearby, added, "Do you want to go to the place we couldn't ride the slide last time?"
"Can we?" Freya asked, her eyes wide with hope. "Last tthey didn’t letgo."
"This tthey will," Ethan said with a confident smile.
He had already contacted the owners of Play Factore, the largest indoor playground in Manchester. They had
agreed to grant VIP access to their family, including exclusive use of the giant slide.
He spoke into the phone, "Eleanor, we'll go to Play Factore tomorrow. I'll take care of everything. Just cto the
Raynor estate early in the morning to pick us up."
"Alright," Eleanor agreed. "I'll be there."
The next day, Eleanor woke up early and had breakfast at the Raynor estate. Freya was overjoyed to see her
mother after a few days and refused to let go of her hand.
Together with Ethan, they made their way to Play Factore. The staff had been notified and were ready to
welcthem. The place was decorated with balloons and filled with laughter from other children, but they were
guided to a special area prepared just for them.
All three of them rode the giant slide together. Freya squealed with excitement as she slid down between her
parents. Afterwards, she explored the other attractions... trampolines, tunnels, climbing walls and occasionally
dragged her mother along to play with her.
For Eleanor, it was a rare moment of peace and joy, away from the chaos of politics, corporations, and combat.
She smiled more than she had in weeks.
The family spent the entire day at the playground. By the tthey returned, Freya was exhausted and fell
asleep in Eleanor’s arms before they even reached home.
The next morning, Eleanor dropped Freya off at school. Ethan didn’t join them... starting that day, he began
preparing for his upcoming duel. It would be a public battle to prove his strength to the world, and he was taking
it very seriously.
When Eleanor reached her office, she found Teresa, Maya, and Lily already waiting.
"Good morning, Boss," they said in unison.
"Good morning," Eleanor replied. "Teresa, did you arrange Laila’s identity?"

"Understood," Teresa said with a nod.
Eleanor turned to Lily. "What's the status in Nigeria?"
"Things are progressing well," Lily replied. "We should be able to start civil works this week. After we included
our Nigerian partners in the negotiations, everything began to move more smoothly."
"Excellent. Maya, the Indian project?"
"All documents have been signed," Maya said. "The U.S. team will handle the final design and expansion. Once
that’s done, we'll begin investing."
Eleanor leaned back in her chair and smiled faintly. "Good. Let’s keep things moving."
