Chapter 72
The faint smile on Freya’s face disappeared once more, replaced by a look of indifference.
She paused for two to three seconds before answering the phone. “Hello.”
On the other end, Isabella was speaking in a coquettish voice. “Mom, when are you coming home?”
Freya didn’t answer immediately but asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m so bored at home alone, can you come back and keep me company?”
A
With her father not at home and Aunt Raven also busy, the house was quiet, and she was feeling very lonely.
She suddenly missed the days when her mom would chat with her and gently listen to her talk about her favorite cartoons and figurines.
So, she decided to call Freya, hoping her mom would come home and keep her company.
Freya listened and replied calmly, “Mom has things to do, maybe next time.”
She was indeed her mother and should try her best to meet her needs.
But she also had her own life.
She was in a bad mood and needed some personal time.
Isabella sounded a bit disappointed. “Okay…”
“Then, I’ll hang up. If you need anything, just call me again.”
“Mm…”
Isabella hung up the phone, feeling even more bored.
At that moment, Matteo returned home. Seeing her looking like a wilted flower, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I called Mom just now, hoping she’d come home and keep me company, but she said she had things

to do…” She buried her face in a soft pillow, looking pitiful. “Mom’s been so busy lately.”
Matteo made a sound of acknowledgment and sat down on the nearby sofa, picking up his phone to talk about work. He didn’t comfort her, though.
However, he didn’t go to his study to handle business but stayed there with her. Only when he stayed by her side did Isabella’s mood improve a little. She happily picked up her tablet and began playing her puzzle game again.
On the other side.
When Logan and the others returned, Logan asked, “Why were you gone so long?”
Logan paused for a moment. “I ran into Mag.”

“Mm? You saw her?”
Lauren Brown, who was beautiful and married well, was a strong woman both in her husband’s
family and the Brown family.
She hadn’t seen her niece in years, but her concern was not for her niece. Instead, she seemed more
interested in another matter: “Did you talk to her about Raven joining Cole?”
Logan shook his head. “We talked a little, but she wouldn’t listen.”
Logan set her coffee cup down and frowned. “Freya really… Although I understand that she’s upset
about President Matteo being taken by Raven, we’ve all met him.
He’s not the kind of man who would be tied to a woman like her, who has nothing to offer aside
from her beauty. Even if Raven wasn’t in the picture, President Matteo would’ve eventually divorced
her.”
To Logan, Freya’s obstruction of Raven joining Cole was simply driven by jealousy that Raven had
taken Matteo from her.
She believed Freya was just a frivolous woman with no talents or education, causing trouble and making a fuss.
She thought it was laughable, and it seemed likely that Matteo thought the same.
It was a pity that Freya didn’t realize this. Perhaps she was still pleased with herself for ruining Raven’s chances.

Thinking about Raven’s talent and comparing her to Freya, Logan felt increasingly that there was no comparison between the two.
Logan sighed. “I know.”
He shared Lauren’s view.
“But she won’t listen.”
“She’s just like her mother, stubborn.”
Logan didn’t voice this out loud, as any mention of that person was uncomfortable.
“About the cuap…”
“Let’s wait until Raven returns to ask her about it.”
