The next morning, Ethan arrived at the Raynor Estate, ready to drop off Freya at school as usual. Eleanor, who was finishing her tea, was surprised to see him.
"I thought you'd be busy with your training," she said as he entered.
"I was yesterday. It was an intense, all-day session," Ethan replied, placing his bag down. "But from now on, I can manage my schedule a bit better. I want to make time for Freya."
Eleanor gave him a small smile. "You don't need to worry. I can handle school drop-offs."
"I'm not worried," he said gently. "I just love spending time with our daughter. She's growing up so fast… I don't want to miss any of it."
Just then, Freya came skipping down the stairs, her hand held by her nanny.
"Daddy!" she shouted with glee and ran into his arms.
