Freya froze.
Johnny paused as well. He glanced at Freya, then whispered, “Teacher… Why would Mr. Wilson want to meet with you? Can you tell us?”
“He said he wanted to introduce someone to me,” Nolan replied.
With that, he ended the call without saying more.
Johnny turned to Freya and said, “Could it be that the person Mr. Wilson wants to introduce to Teacher is Raven?”
It was during their recent dealings with the Brown family that Johnny found out that the Brown family also had its own tech company.
Raven had previously wanted to work at their company to be involved with their programming language, cuap.
The outside world believed that cuap was developed by Nolan’s team, even though the truth was more complicated.
Now that Raven couldn’t join their company, it was very likely that she would reach out to Nolan to study cuap. It was even possible that Raven might want to become one of Nolan’s students.
Thinking of this, Johnny couldn’t help but curse under his breath. “Damn!”
Freya had the same thought.
She suspected that this might be Matteo’s way of compensating her for not allowing Raven’s family to move into the
house across from her uncle.
After all, given Matteo’s feelings for Raven, how could he allow her to suffer in order to help Freya?
Johnny said, “If she really has hidden talents, doesn’t that mean-”
Although they were students of Nolan, and although he was usually indifferent to them, their relationship with him
was actually quite good.
Nolan was strict with them, but in fact, he was a cold person with a warm heart. He also had strong principles.
If Raven’s abilities and talents were truly impressive, Nolan wouldn’t refuse to take her on just because of the history between her and Freya.
So…
Freya quickly composed herself and said, “Let’s focus on our own work for now.”

The only thing she could do was focus on improving herself.
That evening, she returned home later than usual, and Grandma was already asleep. However, when she got home, Matteo hadn’t yet returned.
He might not return at all.
But when she came out of the bathroom after a shower, she found that Matteo had actually come back.
Seeing him, her steps faltered for a moment, and she nodded at him slightly as a greeting.
As for why he had met with Nolan today, she didn’t ask a word.
Matteo didn’t speak either. After giving her a glance, he headed to the bathroom for a shower.
The next morning, Freya woke up a bit late.
When she went downstairs, she heard Grandma’s sarcastic voice directed at Matteo: “Last night, I was already in bed by ten, and you still weren’t home. I thought you wouldn’t come back!”
Matteo, sitting across from Grandma, calmly drank his water without replying.
Grandma knocked on the table, pretending to be angry. “Say something! Stop pretending to be mute!”
Matteo put down his cup and, seeing Freya coming downstairs, glanced at her before turning back to Grandma and saying, “Didn’t you say I had to come back and accompany you this morning?”
