Chapter 146

Upon arriving at Floral Garden, Freya parked the car, told Jessica she had arrived, and sent her a location. Jessica replied she would be out soon. Freya asked where she was because she wanted to use the restroom at the sales office. Jessica sent her a location.

As Freya was about to get out of the car, she saw Grandma Brown, Logan, and Janice walking toward the parking lot. They all had smiles on their faces, clearly in a good mood. Freya got out of the car, but Logan and the others entered from the other side of the parking lot and didn’t see her.

A few minutes later, when she reached the sales office, she bumped into Matteo and Raven. They were surrounded by seven or eight key salespeople from the office as they walked out. When they saw her, Matteo glanced at her, while Raven, holding Matteo’s arm, coldly glanced at her. Freya calmly averted her gaze.

Once inside the sales office, she went straight to Jessica. Seeing her, Jessica gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “The houses here start at three million. I just heard from the staff that the villa Matteo bought for the Brown family is the highest-class one here, costing over six million!”

Freya replied, “Mm.” Jessica looked at her expression and added, “And… I also heard that Matteo brought the Brown family here to look at houses because Raven’s mother likes the style here…”

Upon hearing that, Freya’s steps paused slightly. No wonder when she saw Janice earlier, she was so happy. Freya suppressed her emotions and said in a calm voice, “I’m going to the restroom.” “Oh, okay…”

After Freya entered the restroom, she clenched her small fist.

She had long lost any feelings for Matteo’s kindness to Raven. But hearing Matteo fawning over Janice, she couldn’t—

Just then, she heard voices outside the restroom, speaking about the sales office staff: “Matteo has great taste, his girlfriend is so pretty.”

“Yeah, his girlfriend’s mom is so elegant and classy, and the best part is, her husband and mother-in-law pamper her; everything is done according to her wishes. When you compare that to my situation, my husband and mother-in-law, it just makes me so frustrated!”

“Right? Matteo treats his girlfriend so well, even though they’re not married yet, he already bought a six-million-dollar villa for her family. Oh, as a woman, Matteo’s girlfriend is truly the winner in life!”

When Freya left the restroom, it was already ten minutes later. She ate with Jessica and suddenly felt like going to the nursing home. But remembering the director’s words about not allowing her to meet familiar people, she drove to the entrance of the nursing home but ultimately didn’t go in. She drove back home instead.

When she got home, she locked herself in her room and began working on her own things. She didn’t know how much time passed.

Her phone rang again. It was Matteo calling. Freya glanced at it, noted some data next to her, and ignored the call. The call naturally ended. A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Freya still didn’t answer.

A while later, Matteo sent a text: “Grandma asked us to come back to the old house for dinner.” Freya didn’t reply. Over there, Matteo stared at his phone for a moment after seeing she hadn’t replied.

At that moment, Isabella’s voice came from the stairs: “Dad, you’re back.” By the time she finished speaking, Isabella had already run downstairs and jumped into his arms. Matteo supported her body, giving a faint “Mm.”

Seeing he was holding his phone and about to send a message, Isabella asked, “Dad, what are you doing?” Matteo replied, “Your mom isn’t answering the phone.”

Hearing him mention Freya, Isabella pouted and turned her face away. Matteo smiled helplessly and pinched her soft cheek: “Why are you mad at your mom? Did you make her angry?”

Isabella’s eyes widened, looking even more annoyed: “It’s Mom who made me angry!” Matteo, with his elegant posture, supported his face, seemingly curious: “Oh?”

Isabella, still angry, complained: “Mom promised to take me skiing, but today when I called her, she said she was busy and that we’ll go another time!” “You!”

Matteo smiled, pressing down on her head with his big hand and standing up. “Let’s go.” Isabella paused. “Where to?” “Your grandmother asked us to come back for dinner.”

“Oh…” Isabella mumbled and quickly ran to catch up. Freya ordered takeout, and around 7 p.m., after finishing her meal, she received a call from Grandma Wilson. She could ignore Matteo’s calls, but since Grandma Wilson had been kind to her family, she had to pick up her call. “Hello, Grandma.”

Grandma Wilson said, “Mag, I heard from Matteo that you’re busy. When will you be done?” Freya didn’t want to go back to the old house. Since Matteo had already lied for her, she just said directly, “I’m busy these next few days, sorry, Grandma. I don’t think I’ll have time to visit you.”

Grandma Wilson didn’t mind. “It’s fine, I just worry about you getting tired.” “I won’t, Grandma. I’ll take care of myself.” “That’s good.” Grandma Wilson continued, “Matteo is coming back tomorrow, I’ll have him bring you some good food, make sure you eat more.”

“Okay,” Freya replied.

After hanging up, Grandma Wilson looked at her grandson, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and said, “Next time, if Freya still doesn’t come back with you, don’t bother coming back either.”

Matteo raised an eyebrow. “Should I leave?” Grandma Wilson: “…”
