The Queen's Back

After Mona sem Maxwell a WhatsApp message, she thought about Ava, who was far away in a foreign country. Mona thought. Tlow upset was Ava so that she went overseas to take a break without telling us? If she realizes that what happened is not what she imagined, that Bud has been framed, and that she still loves Bud, will she still have the courage to puritie

him?

Mona did not know what Ava's final decision was, but she knew that Ava must be extremely sad.

Mona remained in the corridor, lost in thought. In the end, Elara, who was in the private room, went out to look for Mona after noting Mona's extended absence. She found that Mona was standing alone in the corridor, thinking about something. When Elara asked Mona what she was thinking, Mona casually found an excuse and returned to the private room with Elara.

At this moment, in Maxwell's office, his phone rang- Maxwell was curious about what Mona had sent. He quickly stopped working and turned on his phone.

Mona's message had exceeded his expectations, but he knew the gravity of the situation. Wasting no time, he promptly called Nigel over and told him about this matter, asking him to investigate Chelly.

Mona did not have any evidence, so Maxwell did not plan to tell Bud about it. He was afraid that Bud would directly question his girlfriend and alert her.

On the other hand, ever since Ava did not send Bud messages every day, she had been upset. Every day, she would subconsciously read their chat history and type something in the input box. Then, she thought that it was bad and deleted it

Ava stopped sending him messages after she left his house. The last words Ava had said to him flashed through Bud's mind "So you have a girlfriend. I understand, Bud. At the same time, I've decided to give up on liking you. You can rest assured" After that, he never saw Ava again, and Ava never sent him WhatsApp messages

Bud typed in the input box. [Have you eaten?]

Then, he felt that it was unfriendly and changed it to: (Ava, have you eaten?]

Bud still felt that he had not made himself understood, so he changed it to: [Ava, have you had dinner?]

After reading it many times, Bud felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Since it was common for him to receive WhatsApp messages from Ava, he saw no reason not to send this one to Ava as well. With a sense of confidence, he straightforwardly hit "send". Then, a red exclamation mark appeared in the chat box.

Bud thought, "Damn, she actually blacklisted me. Did she mean that since we couldn't be lovers, we couldn't even be friends?'

At the mention of lovers, Bud felt annoyed. He had only been with Chelly for a few days, but Chelly kept saying that she loved him so much.

If this continued, he would get married to Chelly soon.

The night was pitch black, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. As Mona walked out of the restaurant, she found Maxwell waiting at the entrance.

Maxwell was dressed in a black suit, complemented by a black-and-white tie and polished black leather shoes. He held a black umbrella under which raindrops were steadily streaming Standing there, gazing towards the entrance with a black car parked behind him, his tall and slender figure commanded the attention of many despite the minimal movement amidstRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Their gazes met in the air-Maxwell smiled at Mona slightly as he walked towards Mona.

Meanwhile. Elara, who was beside Mona and knew what to do, had already let go of Mona's hand and left with her colleagues behind them.

Maxwell walked to Mona's side and pulled her into his black umbrella. He held her waist and walked towards the Lamborghini

"Maxwell, did you get Nigel to investigate Chelly?" Mona leaned to Maxwell's arms.

Although winter had gone, bringing with it warmer temperatures, the rain still carried a hint of chill.

In Maxwell's embrace, Mona felt exceptionally warm. It was so warm that Mona wanted to stretch his hand into his chest.

"I did. Maybe we will hear of something in a couple of days." Maxwell said as he opened the passenger seat door. He held Mona and let her sit in. Then, he put the umbrella in his hand in the back seat and sat beside Mona

As he approached, Mona noticed that his right shoulder was damp with rain. She quickly grabbed a tissue and began to dab at the moisture for Maxwell. It occurred to her that when they had arrived, Maxwell had angled the umbrella towards her, ensuring most of the coverage was on her side, leaving his side more exposed to the rain. Naturally, Maxwell had gotten wet. "Look at you. Your clothes are drenched. Why don't you put the umbrella over to your side?" Mona asked, but she felt warm.

Maxwell was always like this, always thinking for Mona over small matters.

Tm fine. I was just drenched in the rain. Mona, don't worry. Don't forget that you should take the initiative at night," Maxwell said as he gently pinched Mona's cheek

Mona slapped Maxwell's hand jokingly and said, "You're so naughty."

"Yes. I'm just naughty to you." After saying that, he kissed Mona on the lips before starting the car and driving home. When they got home, the rain seemed to have gotten heavier. Fortunately, the parking spot was not far from the villa. "When you open the umbrella later, don't angle it all towards me, Mona reminded.

It was easy to catch a cold in such weather.

Maxwell said, "I have a good way to keep both of us out of the rain."

"Yes?" Mona asked.

The moment Maxwell swept her up into his arms, Mona finally understood what Maxwell meant. With Maxwell carrying her and her holding the umbrella, she could effectively shield both of their heads from the rain..

Maxwell lowered his head and looked at Mona who was wearing a light blue coat. Her thick black hair fell down and fluttered in the wind like a spring breeze caressing his neck. It was a little itchy.

After entering the house, Maxwell casually threw away the umbrella in Mona's hand. He took off Mona's shoes and carried her into the bedroom. He closed the door behind him and placed Mona on her drawing desk. He unbuckled his belt and stared at her. "You, why are you like this as soon as we come home?" Mona complained.

Mona thought, He looks like a good husband during the day, but at night, he turns into a hungry wolf. I am like an innocent lamb in his eyes, and he's going to eat me."

"If not, Mrs. Carter, you will suspect I'm sexually apathetic."

Maxwell picked Mona up was very convenient

from the desk and pressed her against himself. Mona was wearing a white dress under her coat. It
