Chapter 144

Although Rex and his team didn’t have time for dinner, the work was done, so they all went downstairs together, preparing to leave Wilson Tech. At this moment, Raven received a phone call. After hanging up, she said, “Matteo is almost here. I’ll go with you.”

When they reached the lobby, Matteo was already waiting downstairs. When he saw them, he got out of the car and greeted Rex and Johnny. He glanced at Freya but didn’t speak to her. As for Raven, she stood with him as he got out of the car. The two of them, standing together, looked like a legitimate couple.

Rex was chatting with Matteo, while Johnny, looking over, curled his lips and said coldly, “Mr. Wilson, we’ve already planned dinner, so we’ll leave now.” Matteo nodded, “Mr. Gray, take care.” Johnny and Freya left first. After eating with Mr. Kim and the others, Freya drove home.

As soon as she arrived, Harry’s call came through. Freya paused before answering, “Mr. Becker.” “The contract has been signed,” Harry said. “You can call your uncle to confirm it. Call me back once it’s done.” Before she could reply, he hung up the phone.

Freya didn’t expect Harry to act so quickly. However, she didn’t fully trust him. Thinking about it, she called her uncle, “Uncle, has the company signed a project with the Becker family?” “Yeah,” her uncle, Jason, replied happily, “There’s progress on our side. By the way, how did you find out about this?” “I heard it from someone else,” Freya casually deflected, then chatted a bit more with her uncle before hanging up.

She immediately called Harry. Harry answered almost immediately. Freya said, “I’m free on Saturday and Sunday.” Harry replied, “Good, should I arrange the specific time, or will you?” “You arrange it.” “Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Freya went into the bathroom for a quick shower. Seeing that it was still early, she started browsing the latest news about AI developments around the world.

The next morning: She had a simple breakfast and was about to head out when Harry’s call came in again. “Last night, I discussed with Daisy, and she mentioned she wanted to go skiing. Miss Miller, are you okay with skiing?” Freya replied, “Sure.” Harry asked, “Do you need me to prepare any ski equipment for you?” Freya responded, “No, I can buy it myself.” “Alright, see you on Saturday.” “Mm.”

After hanging up, Freya left for work.

At 5 PM: Isabella called, saying that he wanted to eat some of the food she cooked. So, she went to visit him that evening. Matteo was not at home; he had gone on a business trip. Freya stayed at his place that night.

The next morning, before taking Isabella to school, she remembered the skiing trip with Shandan on Saturday and decided to take her skiing equipment, which she had left behind, so she wouldn’t need to go out to buy it again.

Seeing her with the ski gear, Isabella asked, “Mom, are you going skiing?” “Mm, we’re going in a few days,” Freya replied. Isabella said, “I want to go too!” Even though she had only spent half a day at the ski resort with Raven and the others, she hadn’t had enough fun yet!

Freya paused for a moment and asked, “When do you want to go?” Isabella hesitated for a bit. Freya knew that she actually wanted to go skiing when Raven and Matteo weren’t available, but since she didn’t know when they would be free, she was unsure. Freya retracted her gaze and said, “It’s fine, just let me know when you want to go, and if I’m free, I’ll take you.” Isabella happily said, “Okay!”

After a busy week, Freya finished work earlier on Friday evening. When she got home and was about to make some dinner, Isabella’s call came through. Freya paused before answering the phone. “Mom, I’m free on Saturday, let’s go skiing!”

Freya had promised to take her skiing when she asked, but she wasn’t planning to go tomorrow. She had other commitments that day, and the trip was somewhat of a social obligation. She didn’t want to worry about taking Isabella along. “Mom’s busy tomorrow. Can we go another time?” she said. Isabella whined, “No, I want to go on Saturday! Mom, can you please go with me?” “Saturday won’t work. How about next week? If you still want to go, I’ll take you then.” Isabella didn’t listen, trying to whine and soften her up, “Mom…”

Freya remained unmoved, “If you still want to go next week, just let me know. Make sure to eat well and don’t be picky.” She ended the call before Isabella could argue further. Isabella didn’t call back, likely sulking, but Freya didn’t mind. She went into the kitchen to start cooking.

The Next Day: When Freya woke up, Harry called again, asking if she needed a ride. Freya declined. After having breakfast, Freya drove to the ski resort. By the time she arrived, Harry and Daisy were already there. Harry looked over when he saw her, and Daisy, brushing aside his hand, ran excitedly toward Freya. “Auntie!”

As Daisy hugged her, Freya gently returned the embrace, smiling as she patted Daisy’s face. “Daisy seems to have grown a little, and there’s more meat on her face. She looks even prettier.” Daisy beamed and nodded happily. “Yes! I’ve been eating a lot of meat.” Freya smiled and was about to speak when Daisy suddenly pulled out a crystal keychain from her parker. “Annie, this is for you.”
