The Queen's Back

Alright, since Maxwell said so, Mona couldn't refute him. She silently unbuttoned her pajamas and slipped her arm in.

Before she could put it on, Maxwell's hand reached in. His palm was hot and a little rough. When he touched Mona, it brought about a moment of shiver.

Mona knew what Maxwell was like. She slapped his hand away and urged him to get up.

Maxwell looked at Mona with dissatisfaction. He left some marks on her neck before he reluctantly got out of bed. Mona looked at Maxwell shyly and playfully cursed him in her heart.

After they washed up, Maxwell fried eggs in the kitchen while Mona helped him. Seeing the kitchen was so clean, Mona was a little touched.

It seemed Maxwell had helped her clean up her mess again the night before. Thinking about how she had cursed him in her heart this morning, she felt guilty.

She wrapped her arms around Maxwell's waist from behind and said gratefully, "Honey, thank you. I love you."

With a pair of soft hands suddenly appearing in front of his chest, the corners of Maxwell's lips curled up slightly. "I love you, too. Let's eat breakfast."

Mona nodded and put down her hands, which had wrapped around Maxwell's chest. She took the plate from Maxwell and swore to be nicer to him.

After breakfast, Maxwell went to work. Mona went to the mall with Haley and planned to buy Maxwell a watch.

When Mona arrived at the mall, it was crowded. She knew what to buy for Maxwell. With the goal in mind, she didn't wander around the mall. Instead, she went straight to the luxury shop on the first floor.

Mona entered the first jewelry store but didn't find anything she liked. She was attracted by a black watch on the counter in the second store.

The outer circle of the watchcase was inlaid with silver. The difference between this watch and the regular watches was that the twelve numbers were all engraved on the silver, not inside the dial plate. The round dial plate was covered with a clear pane of glass, and two sparkling diamonds were embedded in the dial.

The more Mona looked at it, the more she felt the watch matched Maxwell perfectly. The salesgirl beside noticed Mona's

gaze.

The salesgirl said, "Mrs. Carter, you have good taste. This watch is a new arrival. There's only one in Nathontown and only two in the country. If you like it, I'll take it out for you to see." Mona nodded with a smile and thanked the salesgirl.

Haley was not interested in the watch. She stood beside Mona and protected her. After all, the danger was everywhere. The watch looked a little big in Mona's hand, but it was just right for Maxwell. Just as Mona was about to tell the salesgirl that she wanted the watch, a loud male voice sounded in the shop. "I want this watch. Wrap it up!"

Mona looked back and saw Gordon's ugly face. She was extremely depressed. The watch was still in her hand, and she had decided to buy it. How could she give it away just like that?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"I came here first. I'll take this watch. I'll pay by credit card," Mona said. But she did not hand the watch to the salesgirl.

When the salesgirl heard Mona's words, she nodded and went to the register. When she met customers who liked the same item, she had to prioritize the first customer.

"Oh, Mona, are you getting this watch for Maxwell? You're so good to Maxwell. You're in such a hurry to pay. Are you afraid that I'll snatch it from you?" Gordon said as his gaze landed on Mona. Recalling that night when he was arrested by the anti-vice police, Gordon was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wished he could teach this little bitch Mona a good lesson.

Mona didn't even bother to look at Gordon. Looking at the watch that cost over one million dollars, she swiped her card without hesitation and asked, "Isn't that so?" The first thing Gordon had said when he came in was, "I want this watch. Wrap it up!"

After Mona paid, she wanted to leave the shop with Haley. But Gordon blocked Mona and Haley.

Seeing that, Haley stood in front of Mona. She looked at Gordon with anger in her eyes. Haley wanted to knock some sense into Gordon if they weren't in a crowded mall.

"Mr. Carter, what are you doing? Are you trying to rob me here? Mona asked coldly. Many people were in the mall. If Gordon had a brain that could think, he would not have stopped her there.

Gordon looked at Mona's angry and beautiful eyes and smiled evilly. "Mona, you're overthinking it. I have something to tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gordon pushed Haley to the side. Haley wanted to go over, but Mona waved at her, gesturing for her to stand there and wait. There were so many people in the mall. Mona knew Gordon would not dare to do anything rash. Gordon approached Mona. When he was one arm away from Mona, he stopped and whispered, "Mona, did you plan the scandal in the hotel?"

Mona knew Gordon would guess it was her doing when he came out, so she didn't panic. "What do you Mona looked confused. She did not look guilty at all for lying.

mean?"

"No one can hear our conversation now. Mona, you don't have to lie to me here. You know very well whether you are related to it or not. Mona, we still have a long way to go!" After that, Gordon stared at Mona with burning anger.

After Gordon left, Mona felt her good mood was gone. She went home with the watch she had bought for Maxwell.

It was not until dinner time that Maxwell returned home. As soon as he entered, Mona went forward, took the suit jacket from Maxwell, and smiled at him.

"What's wrong, Mona? Did something good happen today?" Maxwell touched the tip of Mona's nose. Looking at her bright

Mona smiled but said nothing. She led Maxwell to the sofa and said, "Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

"Huh?" Maxwell was confused, thinking, 'What surprise? She even wants me to close my eyes.

"Come on. Close your eyes

now!" Mona wheedled at Maxwell as she shook his arm.

Since marrying Maxwell for a long time, acting coquettish was like a piece of cake for Mona. Especially in front of Maxwell,

it was effortless to act cute..

"Okay, I'll close my eyes," Maxwell said, closing his eyes gently. His thick eyelashes reflected some shadows in the bottom of his eyes.

Seeing Maxwell had finally agreed, Mona said to him, "Don't open your eyes unless I tell you to."

Maxwell replied, "Okay."

After getting Maxwell's approval, Mona quickly went into the bedroom. She had put the watch in the bedroom after she got home.
