Chapter 55

When they got in the car, Isabella wasted no time. She immediately sat down in the back seat and sent a message to Raven.

Freya saw the message but didn’t speak.

After a while, Raven replied, saying she only had a cold and that it wasn’t a big deal.

However, Raven’s voice still sounded hoarse, and Isabella was still worried. She immediately texted her, telling her that she’d visit her after school.

As soon as she sent the message, Isabella felt a little guilty.

She hadn’t eaten Freya’s cooking in a long time and had originally planned to have dinner with Freya tonight.

But fortunately, she hadn’t mentioned it yet.

Thinking of this, she sneaked a glance at Freya, relieved to see that she hadn’t noticed her concern.

With this thought, Freya suddenly felt a moment of daze.

Maybe she thought she was acting like a love–struck fool in front of him. When she snapped out of it, she realized Matteo was looking at her coldly.

Thinking about his tenderness and care toward Raven, and his impatience and indifference toward her, Freya clenched her fist and turned her gaze away.

Soon after the meeting, Jake came to find her and said that her handover work was almost done,

and she wouldn’t need to come to the office tomorrow.

Freya, “I understand.”

Even if Jake hadn’t mentioned it, she would have brought it up herself once she finished the work on hand. Since he had come in person, she didn’t need to make a trip.

Jake hadn’t expected such a straightforward response.

“You…”
