No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 137

It was left for Matteo to sit.

Grandmother Brown glanced at the time and asked, “Raven, is Matteo here yet? Why don’t you call him and remind him?”

Raven also had the same thought.

She took out her phone to call Matteo.

But the call didn’t go through.

There were many guests attending the Green family’s housewarming banquet today. The Green family needed to go around to toast each table, greet the guests, and build some rapport to strengthen their connections.

This process naturally involved Raven.

After all, the guests came to the banquet primarily because of Raven.

And with Raven present, the guests would certainly give them more face.

As the Green family approached, guests stood up politely to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, someone asked, “Miss Brown, has President Wilson arrived yet?”

Raven replied, “He’s on his way. He’ll be here soon.”

Just as she finished speaking, someone not far from them said, “My friend told me that President Wilson also went to the Miller family.”

“President Wilson went to the Miller family? Is that true?”

“There’s a photo. How could it be fake? Take a look.”

“That… is really President Wilson!”

Everyone turned to look at Raven.

They weren’t particularly close to the Green family, but they came to the banquet because they wanted to give face to Matteo, and because the Miller family’s business had been in decline and was unlikely to recover.

Now, not only had Nolan gone to the Miller family, but even Matteo had gone to celebrate the birthday of Old Lady

Miller.

Chapter 137

So, what exactly were they here for?

Hearing that Matteo had gone to the Miller family, Raven didn’t panic.

She knew that Old Lady Wilson and Old Lady Miller had a good relationship. With Old Lady Miller’s 70th birthday, it was only natural for Matteo to go in her place, especially since Old Lady Wilson couldn’t attend in person.

She had anticipated this.

But now that Matteo had gone to the Miller family, even though it was under Old Lady Wilson’s orders, she still wasn’t very happy about it.

Seeing that everyone had assumed something was wrong between her and Matteo after hearing that he had gone to the Miller family instead of coming to the banquet, she coldly said,

“Old Lady Wilson and Old Lady Miller are good friends. Matteo just went over to sit with her for a while, following the elder’s command.”

There had indeed been rumors before that the Miller family and the Wilson family had a good relationship.

For years, everyone had seen no interaction between the two families, and they had assumed it was just gossip.

Now, hearing Raven’s words, it seemed there might be some truth to it?

At that moment, someone walked in from outside.

The person was holding a gift box and came over to Raven and the Green family. He spoke to Raven, saying,

“Hello, Miss Brown. President Wilson had an urgent matter come up, and he might be very late. He was worried he’d miss the banquet, so he asked me to bring this gift to you…”

Raven reached out to take it, saying, “I understand. Thank you.”

Since Old Lady Miller was a friend of Old Lady Wilson, and old Lady Miller was celebrating her birthday, it was entirely reasonable for Matteo to go there first, then come here later.

Seeing that Matteo had anticipated their doubts about his relationship with Raven, he had thoughtfully sent someone with a gift in advance, showing his consideration and care for her.

Given Matteo’s status, his thoughtfulness toward Raven was undeniable.

Thinking this over, the guests smiled apologetically. Though the Green family was unhappy that Matteo had gone to the Miller family, they didn’t show it.

Once the awkward atmosphere had passed, Miles raised his glass and thanked the guests for coming.

With Miles leading the way, the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

Raven felt warmth in her heart when she saw how considerate Matteo had been. Any lingering unhappiness soon

vanished.

Noticing that Harry still hadn’t returned, she walked over and asked Levi. “Why hasn’t Harry come back yet?”

Levi replied. “Let me give him a call.“

After a brief phone conversation, Levi hung up and said. “Harry said he had an urgent matter to attend to and left early. He asked me to apologize to you.”
