Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 25 - Gift

James heard no reply from the other side, so he added, "Last time, | paid for the kidnapping and rape case...

swoman."

A rough voice answered, "100,000 pounds. You know the rate. My people will be at Manchester Arndale tomorrow

at noon."

James smirked. "No problem. Send your men to William Whitmore. I'll inform him about the payment."

There was a low, mechanical chuckle on the other end of the line before the call disconnected. James leaned

back, exhaling deeply. "This time, Eleanor, you won't escape."

He dialed William's number. "Uncle, the deal is set. Keep 100,000 pounds in cash in a bag and go shopping at

Manchester Arndale tomorrow between 12 and 1 PM. Someone will approach you at their convenience."

"Okay. I'll be there. Will you come?" William replied.

James said, "No, Uncle. | have a meeting with the Chen Group tomorrow. You know how important it is for me."

He paused, then added, "Don't worry. They are professionals. You saw their work last time."

"Okay," William ended the call.

Back at Fiona's villa, lunch was finally ready. As they sat around the table, Fiona served steaming bowls of her

famous chicken noodle soup along with several side dishes.

Ethan watched Eleanor as she helped Freya with her meal, a soft smile on his lips. "She has no idea of the storm

coming her way. But | will be ready. No one will take Eleanor away from me... not this time. And if the Whitmores

think they can schagainst her so easily, they are gravely mistaken," he thought.

In the kitchen earlier, Eleanor updated Fiona about her company and discussed several strategies. Fiona had

been in the business sector for over 300 years. Although she mostly worked in the shadows now, she remained

well-informed about the current market landscape.

After the meal, Ethan took Eleanor and Freya back to their villa before heading to his business meeting, which he

had postponed earlier that morning.

Eleanor put Freya to sleep and went to her study to review sdocuments from her office. Just as she was

about to finish, Teresa called her.

"Boss, there has been smovement in the Chen Group today. They applied for a new company that will

manufacture microwave communication products like RF Antennas, Small Cell Antennas for live mobile

journalism, Backhaul Fiber Solutions for transmitting live videos, and sGPON equipment. | received

information that a Chinese manufacturer is involved in this company due to the recent increase in taxes on

Chinese products," she said.

Eleanor responded, "Okay. Let them proceed. Keep an eye on their movements. | believe HFCL is producing

similar equipment. Compare both and determine which one is better. Also, find out which Chinese company is

involved with them. Investigate and senda report on that company. We might need to interfere in the

Chinese market in the future."

Teresa said, "Understood. I'm on it."

The next day, Eleanor decided to do sshopping for Freya's upcoming school term. She had already bought

her school uniform earlier; now, she needed to match other accessories with it.

After breakfast, Eleanor took Freya to B&M. It was the first tshe had taken her daughter shopping since

arriving in Manchester. They bought pens, pencils, notebooks, art kits, and several books for first-grade

students... all chosen by Freya, making their shopping cart a colorful display of excitement.

To make their outing more memorable, Eleanor took Freya to Platt Fields Park after their shopping trip. Although

the park had a fantastic playground for kids, Freya was more of a nature lover than someone who enjoyed

playing with other children.

Eleanor led Freya to the Shakespearean Garden, which featured plants mentioned in Shakespeare's works.

Having read sof Shakespeare's plays, Freya was delighted to see the garden.

They also visited the park's Eco Arts Garden, adorned with colorful flower beds where art and nature intertwined

beautifully. After spending over two hours in the park, they returned to their villa for lunch.

Meanwhile, in Manchester Arndale, in front of the Apple Store, a man wearing a black overcoat and hat stopped

in front of William Whitmore.

"Are you William Whitmore?" he asked.

"Yes. And who are you?" William responded.

The man didn't answer directly but said, "I believe you have a bag for me."

William immediately understood and handed over the bag containing the cash he had prepared earlier. "Yes. This

is the bag."

The man took it, nodded, and simply said, "Thank you." Without another word, he walked past William and

disappeared into the crowd.

To make his visit appear natural,

William entered the Apple Store and

purchased the latesy iphone, Palit

offt-rdbped and returned to his

office. There, he called his newly

appointed secretary and presented

After receiving the gift, Lydia kissed him on the lips and said shyly, "How could | accept such an expensive gift?

You should give it to someone more deserving."

William smiled. "I bought this phone especially for you. If | wanted to give it to someone else, | would have sent

an assistant to pick one up."

Lydia's face turned bright red. "Why do you lovethis much? I'm just a poor countryside girl. I have nothing to

offer you in return."

William pulled her into his embrace. "You have something no one else has. Will you offeryour love tonight

after work?"

"Oh! Now I'm even more eager to see you," William murmured, hugging her tighter. Lydia could feel something

hard pressing against her stomach through William's trousers.

She playfully pushed him away. "Stop it! You have an image to uphold. If you act like this, there might be a

scandal. Calm down for now. I'm not going anywhere... I'll be waiting for you."

She took the gift box, placed it in her bag, and left William's office, leaving him with an eager anticipation for the

evening ahead.
