Chapter 203

When Matteo reached out his hand, Freya had no choice but to hand him the flowers she was holding. She didn’t look at Levi or Harry but walked over to Old Madam Wilson’s bed and asked, “How are you feeling now?”

“It still hurts a little, but it’s manageable,” Old Madam Wilson replied, already looking a bit tired after the surgery.

She reached out and grabbed Freya’s hand. “You’ve worked all day. Are you tired? Have you eaten? Why don’t you stay and have dinner with Matteo and the others?”

Freya replied, “No need, Grandma. I ate at the office before coming over.”

Seeing that Freya was still maintaining her distance from Matteo, Old Madam Wilson paused for a moment but didn’t insist further. Freya chatted with her for a while longer. When Old Madam Wilson seemed too tired and needed to rest, Freya prepared to leave.

Old Madam Wilson asked Matteo to see her off, and since the others were planning to go for dinner, they all went downstairs together.

In the elevator, Freya noticed that Levi was staring at her with an inquisitive look. She turned her head and coldly said, “Have you seen enough?”

Levi was momentarily stunned. “…Almost.”

Freya ignored him and walked out of the elevator first. Matteo and the others followed her.

Seeing that Freya was about two to three steps ahead, Levi leaned towards Matteo and lowered his voice, “Her attitude towards you has really changed a lot. Could it be that she’s really moved on from you? But… I just don’t believe it.”

Matteo looked at Freya’s retreating figure without responding.

Harry, not having heard their conversation clearly, asked, “What did you say?”

Levi repeated what he’d just said to Harry.

Harry, like Matteo, remained silent, watching Freya’s back as she walked ahead.

When they reached the hospital entrance, Matteo called out to Freya’s back, “Isabella is at Miller’s house.”

Freya hesitated for a moment but didn’t say anything. She walked toward the parking lot.

Just then, she noticed that Raven was still there. When Raven saw them coming out, she walked a couple of steps toward them.

Freya didn’t even glance at her and headed straight for her car, while Matteo, Harry, and Levi walked toward Raven.

Freya got into her car and drove off without paying any attention to what the others were doing. She drove back to Miller’s house.

When she arrived, Isabella, who had been playing with Xavier and Hugo, looked up and said, “Mom, you’re back?”

Freya closed the door behind her, shutting out the cold air. She took off her coat and replied, “Mm.”

Isabella put down her tablet and ran over to hug her leg, saying, “Mom, Dad said I can stay with you for the next two days. Tomorrow morning, after we visit Grandma at the hospital, can we go skiing?”

Before Freya could answer, Xavier and Hugo chimed in, “Yes, cousin, let’s all go together.”

Freya sighed softly, then said, “…Okay.”

Isabella beamed. “I’ll call Dad and let him know!” With that, she grabbed her phone and dialed Matteo.

Freya didn’t listen to their conversation and went upstairs.

The Next Morning

When they arrived at the hospital the next day, Freya didn’t see Raven, but it seemed that Matteo had brought his work to the hospital with him.

When she and Isabella entered the room, Matteo was busy with some documents.

Isabella shouted, “Dad!”

Matteo didn’t respond immediately, but Isabella noticed the table beside him was filled with fruits, pastries, and drinks that young people and children loved.

She excitedly ran over and exclaimed, “Wow, so much good food! And bubble tea!”

“Mm,” Matteo replied. “I had them prepare this when I knew you’d be coming.”

While speaking, he glanced at Freya. When he saw that she was ignoring him, he shifted his gaze to Hugo and Xavier, nodding to them before standing up. “Sit.”

Matteo had an overwhelming presence. After greeting Old Madam Wilson, Hugo and Xavier followed him without hesitation, sitting down with Isabella and enjoying the food she and Matteo had handed to them.

After the kids had started eating, Matteo handed something to Freya. “Want to try?”

Seeing that Old Madam Wilson was looking, Freya reluctantly accepted and said, “Thank you.”

She took a sip, only to realize it was a strawberry-flavored drink that was perfectly to her liking.

Learning that they were going skiing, Old Madam Wilson said to Matteo, “Tingshen, you should go with Freya and the kids. Skiing is such a dangerous activity, and it would be too tiring for her to manage three kids by herself. You should go help her. I have the housekeeper and Aunt Garner to take care of me, so you don’t need to stay here with me.”

Freya was about to say something, but Matteo spoke up first, “Got it.”

Isabella, thrilled to know Matteo was also going, said excitedly, “Yay! Dad is coming too!”

After a while, when they were about to leave the hospital, Matteo finished tidying up the table and followed Freya and the others out of the ward.

They drove in two cars. Isabella, Hugo, and Xavier were in Freya’s car.

When they arrived at the ski resort, Matteo helped Isabella adjust her clothes and ski goggles. At that moment, his phone rang.

He walked a little further away to answer the call. After a brief conversation, he said, “I’ll be there later.”

Isabella asked, “Dad, who was that on the phone?” No More Layovers for a Love That Won’t Land Chapter 203
