Chapter 217
Sophia felt a little awkward, but at that moment, Isabella walked over. Seeing Daisy looking unwell, she asked, “Daisy, are you feeling unwell?”
Daisy replied, “I’m fine…”
Looking at Isabella, Harry showed a gentle smile. “Daisy is fine; she just woke up.”
Once Daisy saw that Isabella had arrived, she climbed down from Harry’s arms and sat with Isabella on the sofa, chatting in the corner.
After Raven arrived, she sat down next to Matteo. After taking a sip of water that Matteo handed her, she took a book out of her bag and said to everyone, “I’ll read for a bit. Don’t mind me; just go ahead and talk.”
Levi knew that Raven was studying with Leo, and seeing how hard she was working, he couldn’t help but comment, “You’re even bringing a book to a meal? Isn’t that a bit too extreme?”
Sophia sat next to Harry and said, “My cousin has been like this lately—super hardworking.”
Harry knew that Raven wanted to become Nolan’s student. At that moment, Nolan was eating in a restaurant not far from their private room, but Harry didn’t mention it.
Thinking about it, Harry suddenly paused. He recalled that when he saw Freya and Johnny downstairs earlier, Freya was standing on Nolan’s side, while Johnny was standing on the other. He had initially thought that Freya was dining with Nolan because of Johnny, but if that were the case, then Freya should have been standing next to Johnny. Freya was not someone who was good at socializing, yet when he saw her earlier, she seemed very familiar with Nolan, chatting with him like an old friend.
Cole had only developed these two projects in recent months. And Freya had left Wilson Group and joined Cole just about three or four months ago. Leo had mentioned the other day that Freya’s abilities surpassed his own.
It suddenly struck him. He remembered that when Raven had wanted to join Cole, Johnny had given up on Raven—who was considered highly talented—without hesitation, because of Freya. At that time, both Levi and Harry had assumed that Freya and Johnny were in an ambiguous relationship, which was why Johnny had given up on Raven for Freya.
But now… He looked at Raven, who was flipping through her book and asking Matteo questions whenever she didn’t understand something.
Harry suddenly had a realization. He froze, then suddenly stood up from his chair.
“Marry?”
Matteo, Levi, and the others were startled when Harry suddenly stood up. Noticing his strange expression, they asked, “Did something happen?”
Harry came back to his senses, his gaze landing on Matteo and Raven, then he slowly shook his head. “Nothing.”
With that, he sat back down.
Chapter 217
Sophia said, “Harry, I—”
Harry seemed not to have heard her. He turned his head and spoke softly to Daisy, who was sitting nearby. “Daisy, are you thirsty? Want some water?”
Daisy replied, “Yes.”
After Daisy took a few sips of water from Harry’s hand, she ran back to Isabella to continue their conversation. They were talking about the little toys Isabella had brought for her earlier.
After drinking the water, Daisy went back to Isabella’s side and handed her a small figurine. “I bought this during the New Year holiday when I went to watch a movie. It’s for you.”
Isabella was pleasantly surprised and took it eagerly. “You went to the movies during the New Year holiday?”
“Yeah. My uncle and aunt took me,” Daisy said happily. “After the movie, we played some games. My aunt is really good at games. Unfortunately, my uncle and I had something to do, so we didn’t play for long before we had to leave.”
“My little uncle took me to see a movie that morning, too. But he was in a hurry to go out with friends, so after the movie, we just went home. I didn’t know there were figurines to buy.”
Missing out on the chance to buy a figurine, Isabella looked disappointed. When she heard Daisy praise her aunt’s gaming skills, she couldn’t help but say softly, “My mom is really good at games too.”
“Then next time, I’ll ask my aunt to join, and you can bring your mom. We can play together!”
As Daisy said this, she noticed that Matteo was looking at them. Isabella also noticed and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Matteo smiled faintly. “Nothing. Continue chatting.”
“Oh…”
After ordering the dishes, Levi suddenly asked, “By the way, Harry, how’s the collaboration between your company and Cole? Is everything going smoothly?”
Harry replied, “Quite smoothly.”
Levi raised an eyebrow, showing a keen interest. “Oh? No problems or mishaps?”
Raven, who had been seriously reading her book, paused slightly when she heard this. Having known each other for years, Harry naturally understood that when Levi mentioned “mishaps,” he was referring to whether Freya had made any mistakes or caused any issues during the collaboration.
Harry noticed that Matteo was also looking at them, seemingly interested in the topic. Harry lowered his eyelids and replied, “No.”
“Really?” Levi seemed surprised.
“Mm.”
Raven pursed her lips and turned the page of her book. Matteo sipped his tea without joining the conversation. Levi, finding the topic a bit uninteresting, quickly changed the subject.
