No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181

But when it came to Freya, even though she smiled when interacting with the child during the game, it still felt a bit

different.

It was as though she and her husband and child were disconnected from each other.

However, remembering the parent–teacher meeting last time, when Freya’s daughter had a clear bond with that other woman, it was normal for Freya to feel like an outsider in her husband and daughter’s relationship.

After all, who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable when their child became close to the person who disrupted their

marriage?

Thinking this, Tommy’s mom felt that Freya must be struggling emotionally.

But when she looked at Freya, she didn’t know how to offer comfort.

Freya noticed the pity and sympathy in her eyes.

Freya smiled.

The most painful moments for her had passed.

She knew that Raven must have been busy, which was why Matteo and Isabella had asked her to attend the activity.

So, today, she truly felt like an outsider.

At that moment, Matteo and Isabella returned.

Isabella leaned over to see the video Freya had filmed. Freya sent the video to both her and Matteo, saying, “I’ve sent it to you. You can watch it on your tablet.”

“Okay,” Isabella said.

After three games, the parent–child activity games officially ended.

Isabella had won two champion trophies.

After receiving the trophies, Isabella held them up and asked Matteo to take pictures of her.

Matteo took several photos for her.

Then Isabella turned to Freya, “Mom, take a few pictures of me with Dad.”

“Okay.”

After sending them to Isabella, Matteo suddenly said, “Let me take a few pictures of you and Isabella as well.”

“Yes, Mom, hurry up.”

“Mm.”

Matteo took Freya’s phone and began taking photos of her and Isabella.

After the photos were taken, Freya got her phone back, and after a while, her phone rang

It was a call from Johnny.

Freya said, “I’m going to take this call.”

“Okay, Mom!” Isabella replied.

“Mm,” Matteo said.

After talking for more than ten minutes about work, when Freya turned back around, she saw that Matteo and Isabella seemed to be video–calling someone.

She didn’t approach them.

Instead, she started looking at the work documents Johnny had sent her.

A while later, Isabella waved at her. “Mom, come over so we can take a group photo, then we can go eat.”

Freya walked over, and the three of them, along with the other parents, took a group photo.

Teacher also took pictures of each family.

With that, the parent–child activity at Isabella’s school came to an official end.

Just as Freya was about to leave, Matteo came over to retrieve his coat and asked, “Where do you want to eat?”

Before Freya could respond, Isabella raised her hand and said, “I want to eat BBQ, the same place we went last

time!”

Matteo pinched her cheek and said, “That place was too far. You have class this afternoon, and we’ll run out of time.”

“Okay,” Isabella sighed. “Then let’s go for seafood?”

Matteo didn’t answer. Instead, he asked Freya, “What do you want to eat?”

Freya said, “You two go ahead, I won’t join you.”

“Ah? Mom’s not going?” Isabella asked.

“Mm.” She gently patted Isabella’s head. “Mom’s leaving first, you two enjoy your meal,”

“Okay…” Isabella looked disappointed.

Freya smiled lightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave without looking mack.

Matteo watched her retreating figure but didn’t say anything to stop her. Instead, he said to Isabella, “Let’s go too.”

“Okay.”

As soon as they got into the car, Matteo’s phone rang.

It was a call from Grandma Wilson.

He picked up the call, and Grandma Wilson immediately gritted her teeth. “Did you open a project for the Brown and Green families at home and at the company?!”

Matteo responded with an “Mm” and smiled. “You just found out?”
