Chapter 275
Freya returned Harry’s call, asking if there was something urgent that he had called her about a few days ago.
Harry replied, “I just wanted to video chat with you, nothing special.” Both Freya and Harry had work to do, so they didn’t chat for long
After hanging up, Freya grabbed her car keys and went downstairs to drive to the company. She arrived at the parking lot just as Johmny did.
As they got out of their cars, Johnny saw her and smiled. “Back already?” Freya smiled back. “Mhm.”
As soon as her words fell, Matteo’s car drove into the parking lot, with Raven sitting in the front passenger seat. Matteo didn’t drive into the garage but stopped right in front of Freya and Johnny.
Then, both of them got out of the car, and when they saw Johnny and Freya, Matteo and Raven greeted Johnny. “Good morning, Mr. Gray.”
Johnny’s smile faded immediately. What bad luck!
He cursed inwardly, ignoring Matteo and Raven as he pulled Freya along to move forward. Matteo and Raven seemed to not mind at all.
As they passed by, Matteo handed the car keys to Raven and opened the driver’s side door for her, gently reminding, “Be careful on the road.”
Seeing Matteo’s care and attention to Raven, and looking at Freya’s back, Raven smiled mockingly. “Got it.”
Freya and Johnny entered the company building, and while waiting for the elevator, Johnny glanced towards the entrance, only then realizing that Matteo hadn’t followed them.
Were they still having their sweet moment, back there?
Once inside the elevator, Johnny suddenly remembered something. “They’re taking the same car to work this morning. Does that mean they’ve already moved in together?”
Freya wasn’t sure.
But even if they hadn’t moved in together, the fact that they were riding in the same car showed that Matteo had gone to pick up Raven early in the
morning.
Matteo had his own driver, yet when it came to Raven, he still liked to drive her personally without a second thought.
Their relationship really did seem just as strong as always. The day after tomorrow was Daisy’s birthday.
That evening, after work, Freya went to a mall and bought a pink bunny plush.
As she was holding the plush while taking the elevator downstairs, she ran into Raven and Mrs. Brown, who were heading upstairs.
When Raven saw the bunny plush in Freya’s arms, she assumed that Freya was going to give it to Isabella.
A trace of sarcastic amusement flashed in her eyes. Since Isabella had started seeing her, he no longer liked these childish, pink, and cute stuffed toys.
Freya still intended to give him these things? Was she foolish, not knowing his tastes? Or was she simply clueless, unable to even figure out what Isabella liked?
Thinking this, Raven didn’t even spare Freya another glance. Mrs. Brown glanced at Freya once, but then looked away as though she hadn’t seen her.
She patted Raven’s hand gently, her eyes full of affection and approval. It was clear that in her eyes, Raven was the only granddaughter she acknowledged.
Freya didn’t mind them.
She went to the underground garage, got in her car, and left the mall.

The next morning as soon as Freya woke up, she received a call from Nolan…
After hearing what Nolan had to say, she replied, “I understand.”
After hanging up, she immediately called Harry, “I’ll have something to take care of tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to spend Dalay à bland with her.
But I’ll make the cake in advance. Tomorrow morning, could you come over and deliver the cake and the gift I prepared for Daisy? Also, tall her im sorry.”
Harry felt a bit disappointed that she couldn’t personally celebrate Daisy’s birthday but understood. “It’s fine. The important matters come first. Daley will understand.”
After hanging up, just as Freya had finished washing up, her phone rang again. It was a video call from Harry.
Only Daisy would use Harry’s phone to video call her.
Freya answered, and Daisy’s face immediately appeared on the screen.
Freya smiled warmly, and before she could speak, Daisy said, “Good morning, Aunt Freya! Uncle said you won’t have time to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. That’s okay! If you can’t come this time, we can celebrate next time.”
Daisy still needed to go to school, so without waiting for Freya to reply, she continued,”
Uncle told me you’re making a cake for me and also prepared other gifts. Thank you, Aunt Freya! You’ve worked hard. Grandma says when someone gives a gift, you should treat them to a meal.
There’s a new restaurant that just opened, and the food there is amazing, Aunt Freya, are you free tonight? Uncle and I would like to invite you to dinner!”
After listening to Daisy speak in one breath, Freya smiled and replied, “I’m free, thank you, Daisy.”
“No need to thank me, Aunt Freya. It’s only right for me to treat you.”
Daisy, in a rush to go to school, quickly said goodbye and returned the phone to Harry.
Freya and Harry confirmed the time for dinner and hung up the phone.
At the office, Freya informed Johnny about her plan to go to the base the next morning.
Johnny patted her shoulder and said, “You’ve worked hard. I’ll handle the work in the R&D department, so don’t worry
Freya replied, “Okay.”
Usually, Freya stayed at the office until around eight in the evening.
But that afternoon, she started packing her things at around six o’clock, preparing to leave.
Glen came over to find her and was surprised to see her packing up. “You’re leaving this early today?”
“Mm, I have something to take care of.” She then remembered that she wouldn’t be at the office tomorrow and added,
