Listen to this chapter:

“Mm,” Freya answered. Before Grandma could say anything more, she saw that Mattes was also getting ready. Grandma had hoped something would happen between them, but the distance between them made it clear that nothing had. She sighed, disappointed.

“I just got a call from a friend who’s here for treatment. I need to go back for a bit. You two enjoy yourselves,” Grandma said, patting Freya’s hand and turning to Mattes. Matteo simply nodded, “Got it.”

At that moment, another elevator door opened, and Levi stepped out. Seeing him, Freya was a little surprised; she hadn’t expected him to be at the hot spring resort. However, neither Grandma nor Matteo seemed surprised; they were clearly already aware Levi had come to the resort.

When Levi saw Freya, he raised an eyebrow, then turned to Grandma and greeted her affectionately, “Grandma, you’re leaving already? Don’t you want to stay for lunch before going?”

The Davis and Wilson families had a good relationship. Grandma Wilson had watched Levi grow up, so she responded with a kind smile, “No need, no need. You all have fun.” The group saw Grandma off. After the car drove away, Isabella cheerfully asked, “Uncle Levi, what brings you here?”

Levi bent down and lightly pinched Isabella’s soft, fair cheek. “Your father asked me to come. I greeted Grandma Wilson, then came straight over. How’s that? Uncle Levi is loyal, right?”

“Oh, so Dad sent you here?” she asked, understanding.

“Yeah,” Levi smiled and continued, “I heard your great-grandmother is leaving, so I notified Uncle Harry and Aunt Raven. They’re on their way here and will be arriving shortly. Are you happy about that?”

When he said this, Levi deliberately glanced at Freya. Freya noticed and realized his words were meant specifically for her.

Isabella, of course, was happy to hear that. She was about to nod when she hesitated, suddenly aware that Freya was there. She looked up at her. Freya pretended not to see and, gently ruffling Isabella’s hair, said, “You all have fun. I’ll go back to my room now.” After saying this, she didn’t even glance at Matteo or Levi. She simply turned and left.

Watching Freya leave, Matteo noticed her cold expression. There was no trace of the concern and unease she had shown when she learned Raven was coming. It seemed she was no longer bothered by it at all. Isabella was still there, so Matteo couldn’t speak openly. He leaned closer to Levi and lowered his voice, asking, “What’s going on?”

Matteo’s tone didn’t change. He asked, “Did you come alone?”

“Of course not. Who would come alone to such a good event like soaking in hot springs? I naturally brought my precious little one along!” Levi grinned as he spoke. Before he could finish, he paused, turned his head toward Matteo, and said, “Wait a minute, you’re changing the subject.”

Matteo didn’t deny it. He simply said, “Your precious one has arrived.” As he finished speaking, a tall and curvaceous woman, wearing nothing but a bikini under her open bathrobe, walked toward them.

Back in her room, Freya had changed into her regular clothes and was sitting at a small round table, opening her laptop to delve deeper into the exhibits from the recent tech exhibition. Half an hour later, combining the research she had gathered, she suddenly had an idea. She picked up her phone and called Johnny. “Are you free?”

“I’m at a masquerade party, what’s up?” Johnny answered. Freya explained her idea to him. Johnny’s expression grew serious yet excited. “Hold on, I’ll head back right now.”

“Okay.” After hanging up the phone, Freya focused intently on her work once more. She had no idea how much time had passed, but she suddenly heard voices from downstairs. Freya froze for a moment, realizing it was probably Harry and Raven who had arrived. Freya stood up and closed the window.

At this point, she realized she was feeling a bit hungry. She used the internal phone line to order a meal to be sent to her room. The staff quickly agreed. When her meal was ready, the staff immediately brought it up to her room.

On their way through the lobby toward the elevator, they crossed paths with Matteo and the others. Levi asked, “This meal is for…?”

The staff immediately responded, “It’s for Madam.” Only someone as prominent as Freya would be addressed as “Madam” by the staff. The others didn’t make things difficult for the staff and allowed him to deliver the meal.

However, after the staff left, Levi smiled and said, “Seems like we won’t have to invite her down to eat later.”

Matteo, however, calmly said, “Still, let’s invite her.” At this, Raven paused, pressing her lips together before glancing at Matteo. Harry and Levi were also momentarily stunned. However, Levi quickly laughed and said, “True. Grandma did specifically ask you to take good care of her. If we eat without inviting her, it wouldn’t end well if Grandma finds out.”

After all, this was the Wilson family’s private resort. Grandma likely had eyes and ears here, so any movement on their part could easily be reported back to her. Upon hearing this, Raven relaxed her lips. She had thought that Grandma Wilson’s matchmaking would really make Matteo care for Freya, but after hearing Levi’s words, she realized she had been overthinking it. Harry also looked away after hearing Levi’s words.

Just then, Isabella returned. Matteo ruffled her hair and said, “Go upstairs and ask Mom to come down for dinner.” Isabella froze for a moment and hesitated before asking, “Should I ask Mom to come down and eat with us?”

“Yes.” Isabella opened her mouth as if to say something, but she frowned and then looked at Raven.
