Only those who Matteo valued would receive such treatment from him. But she didn’t believe Matteo valued Logan because of her. Matteo helping Logan couldn’t possibly be because of her either.
After all, since Logan’s divorce from her mother, she had rarely seen him. Logan now only publicly acknowledged Raven as his daughter.
The father–daughter bond between her and Logan had long since dissolved. Sure enough, Logan continued,
“With Raven here by herself, her mother and I are quite worried. We’d appreciate it if you could look after her more
in the future.”
Freya almost laughed hearing this. Raven and Matteo had only met after her marriage to Matteo.
Raven knew about her relationship with Matteo – how could Logan not know that Matteo was his other daughter’s
husband! He definitely knew.
Yet he still shamelessly tried to play matchmaker between Raven and Matteo. This showed just how completely Logan had dismissed her as his daughter!
Matteo agreed. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Freya watched as Matteo waited for Logan to get in his car and drive away before leaving himself.
Given Matteo’s current status, such courtesy was usually reserved for only a few elders in his family. Yet Matteo clearly showed respect to Logan. All because he was Raven’s father.
This reminded her of the few times Matteo had met her grandmother and uncle’s family – he had always been cold.
and dismissive. Moreover, in the past, even when she cautiously brought it up, he had never been willing to help her
uncle…
But his attitude toward people important to Raven was completely different. His treatment of her versus Raven was
like heaven and earth. This must be the difference between love and indifference.
After a while, Matteo left too. Only much later did Freya turn to enter Harris Garden.
That afternoon, after work, Freya went home to collect the gifts she had prepared for Matteo’s Wilson family elders
