Chapter 25

Much later, she went out. She wandered aimlessly through this country that felt both strange and familiar.

Near noon, she remembered she had arranged to have lunch with Matteo.

Recalling the morning’s conversation, just as she was debating whether to go home to pick up their daughter, she suddenly received a message from Matteo: [Something urgent came up, lunch canceled.]

Freya looked at it without surprise.

Because she was used to it. In Matteo’s heart, whether it was business or meeting friends… anything was more important than his wife.

Plans made with her could be canceled at his whim.

He never considered her feelings.

Was she disappointed? Perhaps she would have been before.

Now she was numb to it.

Freya felt even more lost. She had come here so eagerly, only to receive cold treatment from both her husband and daughter.

Without realizing it, she had driven to the restaurant where she and Matteo had dined many times before.

Just as she was about to enter, she saw Matteo, Raven, and Isabella inside the restaurant.

Raven sat intimately beside her daughter.

While chatting with Matteo, she played with the little girl. Her daughter swung her legs happily, playing around with Raven, leaning over to eat pastries that Raven had bitten.

Matteo smiled as he served them both, but his gaze remained fixed on Raven across the table, as if she were the only one in his world.

So this was Matteo’s “urgent matter.” And this was the daughter she had carried for ten months, nearly losing her life to bring into the world.

Freya smiled. She stood there watching. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and turned away.

Back at the villa, Freya prepared divorce papers. He had been her girlhood dream, yet he had never truly seen her.

If not for that night’s accident and the old master’s pressure, he would never have married her. In the past, she had naively believed that if she tried hard enough, there would surely come a day when he would see her.

Reality had slapped her hard across the face. Almost seven years had passed. It was time to wake up.
