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.
