No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 36

Meanwhile,

Isabella had always been close to Freya’s grandmother.

Before, whenever Isabella was home and Freya visited the family, she almost always brought her daughter along.

But now, although Isabella had returned to the country, she hadn’t called her once in all these days.

Instead, she called Raven every day, unable to go even a few days without seeing her.

Given that, there was no need to force things.

Besides, now that Isabella and Raven were so close, if the old lady found out, who knew how upset she would be.

So this time, even though Isabella was back in the country, Freya didn’t go to Matteo’s place to pick her up, but went to the family home alone.

The traffic was heavy, and it was already past six when Freya arrived.

Freya’s grandmother’s smile faltered when she saw her, gently touching her face with concern, “You’ve lost weight.”

Freya’s eyelashes fluttered as she said, “Work has been busy lately.”

The old lady sighed, “No matter how busy, you must eat properly.”

“I know, Grandmother. I’ll take care of myself.”

Freya sat beside her grandmother, resting her face on the elderly woman’s shoulder, seeking some warmth.

Seeing the lamb soup was nearly ready, the old lady asked someone to serve her a bowl to warm her up.

Listening to her grandmother’s caring words, Freya’s eyes welled up thinking about recent events.

But fearing her grandmother would worry, she quickly composed herself and asked, “Haven’t Aunt and the others returned from their trip yet?”

“Not yet. They’re enjoying themselves so much they said they’ll be back a week later.”

“What about Uncle? Does he have business dinner tonight?”

“Your uncle canceled his dinner when he heard you were coming. He said

he’d come back to eat with us. He should be here soon.”

“Good.”

Just as they finished speaking, Jason arrived.

Seeing Freya, he smiled saying “Mag, you’re back?”

Then his brow furrowed, “Why have you lost weight? Haven’t you been eating properly?”

Freya smiled, “I was too busy before… I’ll eat more now.”

Jason sighed and kept adding meat to her bowl as the servants served dinner,

Though Jason noted her weight loss, Freya could also see how haggard he looked.

Although she didn’t work at Jason’s Corporation, she knew the company was struggling.

Jason was overwhelmed with company matters daily but couldn’t turn things around yet.

Over the years, if Matteo had helped with just a few projects, Jason’s Corporation would never have fallen into such dire straits.

“I have no use for it anyway.” Freya pressed the card back to him. “I can’t help with anything else, this is all I can do.”
