The Queen's Back

When Bernard and Jane heard Mona's words, Jane nodded repeatedly and praised, "Good. It's really beautiful."

Hearing this, Maxwell glanced sideways at Mona again. Her ears had turned pink at some point.

This put him in a good mood early in the morning. He looked at the glass of decaf and drank it in one gulp.

Time passed quickly like sand in one's hand. Even if one wanted to grasp time, one would not be able to. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. It was also the day of Richard's funeral.

For a few consecutive days, autumn in Nathontown was exceptionally cold. It rained continuously, making everything wet. Naturally, it affected one's mood.

Mona was like this. When it started to rain, she would occasionally sit on a chair and look through the window at the autumn rain outside. Her mood was quiet. When she was drawing designs, she would get a lot of inspiration. However, the rain had been falling for a few days. It would stop at times and rain at other times. The ground was damp, making people feel a little unhappy.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mona buttoned up the last button of Maxwell's black windbreaker. She looked up and met his depressed eyes. She did not feel good either and said, "Maxwell, it's all ready. Let's go."

"Alright, put on a coat. The weather outside is not very good." Maxwell looked at Mona, who was wearing a black dress. He held her fingers and felt a little cold.

"I was prepared for that." Saying that, Mona had already gone upstairs to put on a black coat and walked out with Maxwell.

Nigel and Haley were already waiting outside. When they saw Maxwell and Mona come out, they naturally opened the car door so that the two of them could enter. Richard was buried in a treasured place in the Maple Cemetery. He had chosen it when he was still alive. Old generations of the Carter family were all buried here.

The car was driving towards Maple Cemetery. Along the way, no one in the car spoke. There was only the sound of the car running quickly on the road.

Mona knew that Maxwell did not feel good. She just held his hand and accompanied him quietly.

She knew that Maxwell might not have deep feelings for Richard. Sometimes, Maxwell even complained that Richard was too biased, but Richard had died. Maxwell was ultimately reluctant to part with Richard. Everything Richard had done, good or bad, had vanished. Mona only hoped that Richard would be happy in another world:

Mona had attended funerals before, but the one that left the deepest impression on her was Emily's funeral. She had eried so hard that she fainted, overwhelmed with sobbing and heart-wrenching grief. At that moment, Mona felt as if her entire world had collapsed around her.

Now that she thought about it, she felt that that period of time had been exceptionally difficult.

As she was thinking, the car quickly stopped at the foot of Maple Cemetery. Maxwell held Mona's shoulder with one hand and held the black umbrella with the other. The two of them walked up and their backs slowly disappeared at the foot of the mountain. When Mona and Maxwell arrived at the funeral, Donald and the others were already there. The air was filled with the sound of crying, so loud that even the heavy rain couldn't drown it out

Once again, he felt that once a person died, there would be nothing left. 'In my limited life, I want to live a good life with Mona.'

There were many people who came to attend the funeral. After Maxwell and Mona paid their respects, they stood at the side and estimated that the funeral was proceeding slowly and steadily. People bowed one after
