No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Raven, who was dining next to him, asked, “Is there something with the company?”

Matteo placed his phone back in his pocket and said, “No, it was a call from the auction house.”

Raven smiled and was about to speak when Isabella interrupted, “What’s an auction house?”

Matteo, slicing a piece of meat, replied, “It’s a place where you auction off items.”

“Auction off items? What kind of items? Is it fun?”

Raven laughed, “It can be pretty interesting. Haven’t you been there, Isabella?”

Matteo shook her head, “No.”

She asked again, “Do they have a lot of treasures there?”

“Yes,” Matteo replied.

“I want to see what that auction house looks like!” Isabella said eagerly.

Raven laughed, “But the items there might not be to your liking.”

“Oh…”

Hearing that, Isabella immediately lost interest.

Matteo said, “You can still come and have a look. You can help raise the bid cards.”

“Raise the bid cards?”

“Yes.”

Matteo put down his knife and fork, picked up her tablet, and began explaining how auctions worked.

Isabella listened for a while, and once she understood that raising a bid card was fun, she got excited. “I want to try! Dad, take me to play, okay?”

“Alright, next time I have time, I’ll take you. You can buy all the things you like.”

“Okay!”

Raven smiled and didn’t intervene further.

The next day.

Rex arrived at Wilson Tech early.

When he got there, both Raven and Matteo were already present.

Seeing Raven, Rex hesitated for a moment. “Miss Brown, you’re here too?”

“I’m still handling the project I led before. I’ll continue taking care of it,” Raven explained.

Rex smiled, “I see.”

He had thought that after the new project at Wilson Group was handed over to her family, she would have returned to help her family.

Matteo said, “Mr. Hardin, please have a seat.”

Rex looked at Matteo, and the scene of him holding Freya in the restaurant flashed in his mind. He paused for a moment before sitting down.

For now, he set aside personal matters and began discussing work with Marten

After a while, Raven left to handle other matters, but over an hour later, the returned to reg and have cottes gragaret by Marant’s remary.

Matteo was still talking to Rex when he received a phone call.

He excused himself, went to answer the call, and left the room.

Watching his back as he left, Rex couldn’t help but remember the image of Matteo holding Freya

“Mr. Hardin, is there something you wanted to say to me?”

Rex’s hesitation was quite obvious.

He shook his head, “I just think that Mr. Wilson treats you very well.”

That scene still confused him, and it didn’t seem right to bring it up directly,

After thinking it over, he decided it was better to keep quiet.

Besides, whether it was Matteo picking up the abandoned projects at Wilson Tech to help her develop profesionally, or kim diligently introtting connections for her family, or even opening a new project for her at Wilson Group….

Matteo’s kindness to her was immeasurable.

Rex could see it all.

He felt that if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to treat her as well as that.

There was no doubt about Matteo’s feelings for her.

So, that scene was probably just a misunderstanding.

On Friday morning, shortly after Freya got out of bed, a phone call came from her grandmother, asking her to accompany her to the art exhibition of Master Hall on Sunday morning.

Freya’s grandmother was a loyal fan of Master Hall, a famous painting master. The last time Master Hall held an exhibition was more than ten years ago. The opportunity was rare, and Freya agreed, “Okay, I’ll go with you on Sunday.”

Just after hanging up, another call came from Isabella. This was the first time Isabella called since she attended the school’s parent–child event on Monday. Freya didn’t pick up the phone.

On Saturday afternoon, she went back to the Miller family for dinner. On Sunday morning, she left with her grandmother to head to the exhibition.

When they arrived at the venue, just as she was getting out of the car, she saw Johnny’s car pulling up as well.
