No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 54

She had lived there for nearly seven years, and although it had only been a little over twenty days

since she left, it felt like she hadn’t been there for half a lifetime.

In fact, everything–the trees, the grass–hadn’t changed at all.

Freya had already begun to feel a sense of unfamiliarity with the place.

The butler noticed her and quickly came out to greet her. “Madam, you’re back.”

Freya paused at the butler’s address, but ultimately didn’t correct him. She nodded and asked,

“Where’s Bella?”

“She should still be asleep.”

It was almost time, and if Isabella didn’t come downstairs for breakfast soon, it would be too late. However, Freya had no intention of going upstairs herself and simply asked Aunt Sara to go upstairs

and urge her.

The butler asked, “Madam, have you had breakfast? It’s ready, would you like to-”

Freya smiled faintly and shook her head. “No need, I’ve already eaten.”

“I see, understood…”

At that moment, Matteo came downstairs.

Freya looked at him, said nothing, just gave a faint nod of acknowledgment.

Matteo paused in his steps. Before he could say anything, Isabella ran downstairs and leapt into Freya’s arms.

Freya embraced her, gently ruffling her hair, and smiled, “It’s getting late, hurry and go have breakfast.”

“Mm!”

As expected, the first thing she saw when she woke up was her mother!

Chapter 54

Isabella snuggled into her arms, inhaling her familiar scent, feeling content, and happily tugged at Freya to accompany her. “Mom, come have breakfast with me.”

Freya didn’t get up. “I’ve already eaten. You go ahead.”

Isabella pouted. “Then at least talk to me while I eat.”

While mother and daughter were chatting, Matteo had already seated himself at the dining table.

Unable to resist her daughter’s pleadings, Freya eventually joined Isabella at the table and sat across from Matteo.

The butler poured her a glass of water. Freya quietly drank it while listening to Isabella excitedly recount her adventures at school yesterday.

As for Matteo, she completely ignored him.

Matteo noticed the change in Freya’s attitude immediately.

Still, her good nrood had been affected.

She furrowed her little brows, thinking to herself, if only Mommy and Aunt Raven could get along well.

On the other end of the line, Raven seemed to say something that made Matteo frown with worry. He didn’t even finish his breakfast before rushing off.

Seeing him leave in such a hurry, Isabella also grew worried.

But because Freya was there, she didn’t speak up.

P

She lost her appetite and tugged at Freya’s sleeve. “Mom, I’m done eating. Let’s go, hurry!”

Although Isabella didn’t say anything, Freya noticed all of her reactions.

She understood that her daughter was eager to leave to find out what was going on with Raven.

But she didn’t say anything.

Freya replied, “You haven’t eaten much, take some with you in the car.”

“No, I’m not hungry,” Isabella replied.

Freya paused.

She didn’t insist.
