It was true that when a child asked, the tone could come off as too perfunctory.

However, she wasn’t overly concerned. After all, Matteo’s purpose was simply to report to the old lady. Him going upstairs to call Freya didart mean anything more.

Isabella, on the other hand, was anxious the tightly pursed her lips, dearly worried

She was afraid that if Matteo went upstairs to call her, her mother might actually come down. After all, her mother was the most likely to listen to her father.

Back in her room, Freya had ordered some food and was busy working on her computer.

Matteo silently smiled again, his eyes holding a mysterious depth. “Understood.”

By the time Matteo returned downstairs, the others were already eating.

They were all surprised to see that he had come back alone. They had expected that since he had personally gone up to invite Freya, she would surely come down.

Harry asked with a hint of curiosity, “She didn’t come down?”

“No,” Matteo replied shortly.

Then, he turned to the staff and said, “Please bring a portion of the barbecue, pancake, and the salad to the room for my wife.”
