As soon as she thought of this, a wave of bitterness rose in Freya’s throat. Suddenly, the air in the car felt thick and
stuffy.
She looked away from her thoughts, intending to roll down the window for some fresh air, but paused just before pressing the button.
In the end, she didn’t open the window. Instead, she turned her head slightly and looked out the window.
She wasn’t sure how much time passed, but soon, the car arrived at Isabella’s school. Freya got out of the car to accompany her inside, while Matteo stayed in the car.
“Dad…” Isabella looked back at him, clearly hoping he would get out of the car with them.
“Dad has something to do,” Matteo answered shortly.
“Oh.” Isabella’s shoulders drooped slightly, and she followed her teacher into the school.
Freya stood by the car. Despite the lingering awkwardness, she chose not to push the situation further. She turned toward the car and told Matteo, “You go ahead. I’ll take a taxi to the company later.”
Matteo glanced at her briefly and said, “It’s on the way.”
Freya hesitated. She didn’t want to ride in his car, but she also didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Since he didn’t seem to care, why should she?
In the end, she said nothing. After watching Isabella enter the school, she turned and got back into the car.
The atmosphere in the car remained tense and silent. Matteo was still looking at his phone, and Freya didn’t feel like breaking the silence. She opened the documents that Johnny had sent her and became absorbed in them.
Before she knew it, the car had reached the parking lot of Cole’s office building. Freya didn’t even notice until she heard Matteo’s voice.
“We’re here.”
She looked up to see the car stopped in front of the building. The car, a luxurious Bentley, was drawing attention from several people around.
Freya quickly grabbed her bag and rushed to get out of the car. Not wanting to attract unnecessary attention, she murmured, “Thank you.”
Matteo glanced at her and responded briefly with, “Mm.”

At lunch, Johnny had arranged for a business lunch with some partners, and Freya accompanied them.
As their car drove into the restaurant’s parking lot, Freya spotted Matteo. He had just gotten out of his car. At the same time, kaven also emerged from his car.
Johnny parked the car and noticed them as well. He rubbed his forehead slightly and said, “What a coincidence.”
“Mm.” Freya responded indifferently.
At this moment, she also noticed Logan and Tracy standing nearby. They seemed to have arrived earlier and were now walking towards Matteo and Raven.
“Should we get out of the car?” Johnny asked. “Or should we wait until they leave?”
“Let’s get out,” Freya said calmly. She didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong, so she had no reason to avoid
them.
