No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 109

Matteo looked at her for a moment, then turned his gaze away, replying, “Hmm.”

Freya breathed a quiet sigh of relief, glad that he hadn’t misunderstood. She dn’t say anything more and walked toward the walk–in closet.

After getting dressed, she came out of the closet to find that Matteo was still in the room.

She didn’t think they had anything to talk about, so she gave him a quick glance before walking past him and sitting down at the vanity to do her skincare routine.

Matteo got up, walked to the closet, and headed to the bathroom for his shower.

By the time she finished her skincare, it was already late. She climbed into bed, but despite feeling exhausted, she couldn’t seem to fall asleep. The events of the day had left her mind in a jumble.

The night before, she had slept peacefully beside Matteo, but tonight, her emotions were more complicated.

Not long after, Matteo came out of the bathroom, fresh from his shower. A while later, he turned off the lights and lay down on the other side of the bed.

Freya could sense the distance between them, though he didn’t say anything.

The room was silent.

It took a long time before Freya’s thoughts became hazy, and she eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Freya woke up to find that she was the only one in the bed.

After washing up and getting dressed, she went downstairs to find that Grandma Wilson was already awake.

Grandma Wilson was about to speak when Matteo returned from outside. He was dressed in a gray sports outfit, his hair slightly damp from sweat–he had likely just finished a morning run.

He nodded at Grandma Wilson, greeting her with a simple “Morning.”

Grandma Wilson looked at the two of them with displeasure. “You two woke up so early?”

Freya, surprised, thought it was a good thing they both woke up early.

But before she could ponder further, Matteo, his expression calm, spoke up. “I’ve studied pharmacology. The soup you made last night doesn’t work on me.”

He turned and walked upstairs without waiting for a reply.

Freya froze for a moment, the meaning of his words slowly sinking in. Matteo had realized that Grandma Wilson had put something in the soup. And from the look of it, he hadn’t drunk it himself.

She hadn’t expected Grandma Wilson to do such a thing.

She frowned, about to speak when Grandma Wilson sighed.

“Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t always a good thing. Sigh… I still want another grandson. Mag, if you have time, you and Matteo should put in more effort, understand?”

Freya: “…”

She didn’t know what to say.

Although Matteo had agreed to help her last night, she knew that there was no longer any possibility of them being together romantically.

If something had happened between them last night, that would have been disastrous.

As for having another child… that was out of the question.

Before she could dwell further on the matter, Isabella came downstairs.
