The Queen's Back

When Mona appeared in front of Maxwell again, her heart raced, and her face turned red. Looking at Maxwell's closed eyes, Mona's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

She took out the precious watch from the box and sat beside Maxwell. She first tried it on Maxwell's wrist. The black color matched him well. Immediately, the corners of Mona's lips curled up.

She held Maxwell's hand and said, "You can't open your eyes yet. You can only open them when I tell you to." Mona said as she put on the watch for Maxwell.

Maxwell smiled. "Alright, you're the boss."

When the watch touched Maxwell's wrist, it felt cold. Mona's soft hands moved around his wrist. Maxwell could already feel the surprise Mona gave him.

The corners of his tightly pursed lips parted slightly. Fortunately, Mona was focused on wearing the watch for him. Otherwise, she would have seen Maxwell's silly look.

Mona busied herself for a while and finally helped Maxwell put on the watch. His well-defined wrist went well with the black watch with quality diamonds. It was neither extravagant nor cheap, but just good for Maxwell.

She looked at Maxwell's wrist and could not help but take a few more glances. She told Maxwell, "Maxwell, you can open your eyes now."

Maxwell seemed to have sensed her. As soon as she said it, Maxwell opened his eyes. Their gazes met in the air.

Although they had been married for almost a year and a half, Mona still felt shy each time she met Maxwell's burning gaze. A blush appeared on her cheeks.

Maxwell's gaze shifted from Mona to his wrist to find the watch. It was simple and not extravagant, just right for him.

"Maxwell, do you like it?" Mona asked shyly.

After their marriage, Mona would give Maxwell gifts for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and so on. However, those were all holidays. Maxwell would also give her gifts.

However, it was different this time. It was not a memorable day. It was just a day that she wanted to surprise Maxwell.

Maxwell waved the watch and said happily, "I like it. I like all the gifts you give me, Mona."

As he spoke, he held Mona in his arms. Maxwell carefully observed Mona's eyebrows, skin, and tall nose. He realized Mona had not changed after they got married. There were no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her skin was extremely smooth. "It's good that you like it. I chose it today, and it was worth it." Mona brought Maxwell's hand to her eyes. The more she looked at the watch, the more she liked it. It was indescribably pleasing to the eye.

Maxwell said, "Thank you, my love. Come, let me hug you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maxwell's arm pinched Mona's armpit and pulled her to sit on his lap. Mona smiled and hugged Maxwell's neck, thinking she had married the right guy

This was probably the best decision she had ever made in her life.

Maxwell looked at Mona's seductive lips and subconsciously kissed her. His kiss was especially soft as if Mona was a fragile doll.

Maxwell was way too gentle. Every touch made Mona tremble in fear.

After kissing for a while, Mona pushed Maxwell's strong chest and said, "Stop. It's almost time for dinner."

After being married for long, Mona understood Maxwell. Looking at the desire in his eyes and feeling the changes in his body, Mona knew what Maxwell wanted to do. However, Maxwell did not give her a chance to refuse. He had carried Mona to the second floor. "Yes, you're right, honey. I'm hungry now. I want you."

Mona looked at Maxwell's happy expression and was shy. They were going to have sex in the day. She bit her lower lip and couldn't look into Maxwell's eyes.

Time passed peacefully. One day, Maxwell had signed a contract with his client. When he returned to his office, he heard his phone ring. It was a call from Richard.

Maxwell did not want to answer the phone, wondering if there was something else. When Maxwell wanted to cut ties back then, it was also because he did not want to get involved in the Carter family's matters.

After Maxwell hung up, his phone rang again. It was still Richard calling.

Maxwell answered the call expressionlessly. Richard's tired voice came from the other end. "Maxwell, Gordon's wedding is scheduled for a week later. I hope you and Mona can come. My health is declining. I only hope you and Gordon can get along well."

That was one of the reasons. Also, after Gordon was arrested and brought to the police station, it more or less affected the Carter Group. In Nathontown, there were many small businesses and competitors from other cities. It was a rat race. And, if Maxwell still hated Richard and the Carter family, what would happen to the Carter Group and the Carter family if Richard passed away?

"Mr. Carter, have you forgotten what I said that night? I, Maxwell, have nothing to do with Carter Group." Maxwell hung up after saying that.

Richard listened to the beeping sound. The room was quiet. Richard fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sent a message to Maxwell.

After that, Richard told Mona about Gordon's marriage to Molly He wanted Mona to persuade Maxwell to attend Gordon's wedding.

Mona hated Gordon and Molly, especially Molly. Mona wished she could send Molly to hell to avenge Sweet Berry, but that was illegal. She understood she could not do that.

Hearing Richard's words, Mona knew Maxwell must have rejected Richard's invitation. Richard had said everything he could, but Mona did not agree.

Mona said coldly, "Richard, I've heard about Mr. Gorden Carter's wedding. If there's nothing else, I have to go. I still have something on."

Before Richard could say anything, Mona had already hung up.

When he heard the beeping sound coming from the phone again, Richard cried out in pain. Then, he began to cough uncontrollably, and his aged face turned red.

When Mona saw Maxwell return in the evening, she realized he wasn't in a good mood. His face was frighteningly dark, and his entire body exuded an unapproachable aura.

Mona guessed Maxwell's awful mood had something to do with Richard. Although Maxwell said he had severed ties with the

Carter family that night, Mona knew Maxwell was grateful and sentimental. Otherwise, he would not have remembered Mona's kindness for a piece of chocolate and a few words she said when they were young, and he had remembered it all his life. Maxwell had been in the Carter family for so long. Although the Carter family was not sincere with him, after spending a long time together, Maxwell would more or less care about them.

Humans were emotional creatures, and Maxwell was no exception.
