Listen to this chapter:

Santiago Free’s face. They were very…users…and they found some…

They had met before, but they weren’t really acquainted. Jimmy introduced kumcelf Timmy, my mone.

Frêya didn’t quite feel at ease being so close to a stranger, so she gave herself a few seconds to adjust before looking up and replying calmly, “Treya.”

Jimmy paused. This name really suited her. However, Jimmy didn’t say this out loud.

Their movements drew the attention of Rex, Levi, Harry, as well as Raven and Matteo. Swapping dance partners was quite normal on the dance floor. But Freya and Jimmy—on the surface, it must be said, they really looked quite compatible.

Rex furrowed his brows. Harry paused slightly.

Want and 60.8. THIM, Tumay.

His dance partner looked over: “Mr. Becker?”

Harry withdrew his gaze: “Sorry.”

“No problem.”

Swapping dance partners on the dance floor was indeed quite common. He had no problem swapping with Matteo. But with Freya—

Raven was seeing Jimmy for the first time. Rex had already greeted her earlier in the evening. But Jimmy hadn’t come over with him. She wasn’t sure of Jimmy’s identity. However, seeing how Rex and Yves treated Jimmy, she knew his status was probably no less than that of Rex.

Seeing Freya shyly dancing with Jimmy, and Jimmy’s positive attitude toward her, Raven furrowed her brows.

At this moment, Levi smiled and spoke up: “Frank, shall we swap dance partners for a while?”

Raven withdrew her thoughts. Matteo looked at Raven: “What do you think?”

Raven smiled: “I’m fine.”

Matteo smiled and swapped dance partners with Levi. Levi’s female partner hadn’t expected Raven to really agree to the swap.

When held by Matteo, and gently embraced by him, the girl was so captivated by his handsome face that her heart nearly skipped a beat, and she even forgot to dance. Seeing herself make a fool of herself, the girl blushed and looked at Matteo, feeling a bit flustered.

Matteo looked at the girl in front of him, paused slightly, and said in a tone that could be considered gentle: “Don’t be nervous.”

Seeing his calm attitude, the girl slowly steadied herself and, after apologizing to him, began to follow his lead.

But when she saw the girl looking at Matteo, clearly infatuated and blushing with a racing heart, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Raven was already with her brother’s man, and Levi had no romantic interest in her. Swapping dance partners was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

But once it happened, Levi became uncomfortable. After all, she was his brother’s woman. Holding Raven’s hand, he wasn’t sure where to put his other hand.

Raven looked at him and said, “It’s just a dance, Matteo wouldn’t mind.”

Levi relaxed and smiled: “You’re right.”

While they were talking, the distance between Freya and Matteo was gradually shrinking. But Freya didn’t notice. Not until she heard Matteo’s voice next to her: “Jimmy, care to swap dance partners?”

Freya turned her head and just happened to meet Matteo’s face. Jimmy looked at Freya: “Miss Miller, you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Matteo, seemingly having already discussed it with his partner, had already sent his partner to Jimmy. If Jimmy didn’t catch her, the girl would likely fall.

Seeing that Matteo had already extended his hand to Freya, and knowing she wouldn’t fall, Jimmy had no choice but to let go of Freya and catch his partner’s waist. Freya had no time to react and was steadily caught in Matteo’s firm embrace.

When Freya realized what was happening, her first instinct was to push Matteo away.

“Relax.”

Matteo spoke casually, as if he had expected her reaction, tightening his grip on her waist.

“You!”

She couldn’t break free, and didn’t want to draw attention by making a scene. mL -TAT~n’tLand. 61.0%. 03:30 Thu, 13 May. 9/%

If it were nothing, why would he come to her? She guessed he had something to say, which was why he made the switch of dance partners. She stopped struggling and said coldly, “What do you want to say?”

Matteo looked down at her, noticing the cold expression on her face, but he didn’t seem bothered. He asked in an ordinary conversational tone, “When are you planning to take Isabella’s call?”

Freya replied, “In a while.”

At her answer, Matteo smiled. “About ten days?”

Freya paused for a moment. “…Something like that.”

Although she and Matteo were about to divorce, and despite Isabella’s custody not being in her hands, she still had a mother’s responsibility toward her. She planned to spend one day a month with Isabella. Ten days would essentially mark the end of the month.

Matteo nodded. “Alright.”

At this point, the conversation seemed to have reached its end. After all, there wasn’t much left to discuss between them. She gave him a glance, signaling him to let go of her.

But Matteo didn’t let go. Instead, he asked, “How have you been lately?” ♡(1)回(0)
