Freya paused. Was her grandmother implying that Matteo would also be coming home late tonight?
“Grandma, I’m sorry…”
“It’s fine. But even if you’re busy, don’t forget to eat well,” her grandmother said gently.
“I will. Thanks, Grandma.”
After hanging up, her takeout arrived. She ate quickly and then continued working until nearly 10 PM before leaving the office.
She hadn’t driven herself today, so she had called the driver half an hour earlier to arrange a ride. By the time she finished her work, the driver should have arrived.
When she got downstairs, she found that the driver was already waiting. However, it wasn’t the driver she’d arranged with; instead, it was Matteo’s driver.
And Matteo himself was sitting in the back seat.
Seeing her hesitate to get in, Matteo slowly rolled down the window and looked at her. “Grandma asked me to pick
you up.”
Freya didn’t say much, simply walked around and got into the car, sitting in the same spot she had occupied in the morning. The car smoothly merged into the traffic.
The car quickly fell into a quiet stillness. Matteo was focused on his phone, not paying attention to her.
Freya, however, suddenly remembered something and asked, “Did they agree?”
She was asking about whether Raven’s uncle and the others had agreed not to move into the house across from her family’s house.
When she had run into Raven at lunch, she had noticed that Raven didn’t seem happy, so she guessed that they had agreed to it. But what about everyone else?
Matteo didn’t look up from his phone. “They agreed.”
“Then…” Freya hesitated for a moment before asking with more certainty, “Can I buy that villa? The one across from my uncle’s house?”
She wanted to buy the villa to ensure no future problems.
Matteo paused, glancing at her briefly. “You can.”

Freya let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“Mm,” he responded indifferently.
By the time they got home, Grandma hadn’t gone to bed yet. When she saw that Freya had indeed returned in Matteo’s car, she finally felt reassured and went to her room to rest.
After going upstairs, Freya called Jason to update him on the progress of things. She had just finished that call when Johnny called again.
About half an hour later, after hanging up the phone with Johnny, she went back to her room and found that Matteo had already taken a shower. He was now sitting by the bed, reading a book.
When she entered, Matteo glanced at her and, without saying a word, returned his attention to the book in his hands.
