No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 40

The elderly lady frowned, “Freya – ”

“Mom’s here?” Isabella had just come down from the second floor in the elevator. Seeing Freya, she was quite happy, after all, she hadn’t been in contact with her for over two weeks.

She interrupted the elderly lady and threw herself into Freya’s arms, “Mom!” Freya paused, gently hugged her back with a soft “mm,” but said nothing more.

The elderly lady actually didn’t want Freya to leave Wilson Group. However, seeing Isabella present, she didn’t continue the previous topic, instead smiling and saying to Freya, “Mag, it’s been so long since I’ve had tea made by

you. Would you make some for grandmother?”

Having grown up at Grandmother Wilson’s side, Freya had developed a calm and patient nature from a young age.

With her natural talent and years of practice, her tea ceremony skills were quite good. “Of course, but it’s almost

dinner time…”

Maria, who preferred coffee to tea and didn’t like watching Freya’s tea ceremony, cut in, “Yes, we’ll start dinner soon when Matteo and York return…” Just as she finished speaking, Matteo arrived. Upon entering, he first greeted the elderly lady and Stella.

Seeing Freya, he glanced at her briefly before looking away, sitting down in a single chair far from her.

Seeing Matteo, Isabella immediately left Freya’s embrace and ran to him, “Dad!”

“Mm.” Matteo hugged her, looked around, and was about to speak when Maria arrived.

York was much younger than Maria and Matteo, not yet an adult. With his sunny disposition, he bounded in, gracefully jumping over the sofa armrest to land smoothly on the seat.

Seeing everyone present, he smiled, “Were you all waiting for me?” Maria playfully smacked his head, “Yes, we’ve all been starving waiting for you!”

While Matteo was reserved and rarely spoke, and Maria was hot–tempered, York was the family’s joy, particularly close to his parents.

Upon his arrival, even Stella’s cold expression softened into a smile, and the elderly lady grew more cheerful. Seeing it was getting late and everyone was hungry, she ordered dinner to be served.

With just nine people, they went to the small dining room. The seating arrangement placed the elderly lady, Matteo, Isabella, and Freya together.
