After the fireworks were finished, Mona and Maxwell went back When Albert pulled Haley away, Mona vaguely guessed that something had just happened between the two of them.

When Mona returned to the villa, it was already late. She asked Maxwell to take a shower first. She went next door and knocked on Albert's door.

After entering. Mona did not beat around the bush. She asked Albert directly what had just happened between him and Haley.

Albert looked at Mona uncomfortably and stammered, "N-nothing. Mona, stop asking. He could not possibly tell Mona about such a thing.

"Alright, even if you don't say it, I can roughly guess what happened between the two of you just now. However, you're still young, and Haley doesn't have any romantic feelings yet. Listen, don't ever think of hurting her. I raised Haley as a younger sister. If you make her sad, I won't let you off even if you're my biological younger brother," Mona said solemnly.

This time, Albert understood the meaning behind Mona's words. He did not intend to do anything in the first place. He was still young. He would talk to Haley about it when he became an adult. "Mona, I know. I don't want to do anything."

"Yes, it's getting late. You should rest early." With that, Mona walked towards the door.

Albert looked at Mona's slender back. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he stopped her and said, "Mona, what happened at noon today was my fault. I didn't consider your feelings. It was also the same in the past. Sometimes, my words are unpleasant, but I don't mean any harm. It's just that I have a sharp tongue."

This apology was sincere. He thought about how mischievous he was when he was young and what he did made Mona sad.

"Got it. I'm a big-hearted person, so I won't hold it against you. Hurry up and rest. It's getting late," Mona said with a smile before gently closing the door.

When Mona returned to her room, Maxwell had already taken a shower and come out. When Maxwell saw that Mona still had a smile on her face after returning, he said, "I told you it was fine. Albert knows his limits. Today was an accident. You worried for nothing, right?" Mona walked over and took the towel from Maxwell's hand. She began to dry his hair. "Yes, you're smart, okay?"

After Albert pulled Haley away, Mona could not remain calm anymore. She wondered if Albert and Haley had something going on. At this time, Albert was still underage. In Mona's heart, he was just a child. Could he understand his feelings?

At that time, Maxwell had comforted her that it was an accident. Albert was not a child anymore and knew his own mind. Maxwell told Mona not to worry so much.

"I'm smart. It's fine as long as there's one smart person in each family. Leave the difficult questions to me. You don't have to overwork your brain." Maxwell wrapped his arms around Mona's waist and felt the softness of her body.

"Maxwell, are you indirectly calling me stupid?" Mona angrily wiped Maxwell's head a few times with the towel.

This angry action made Maxwell laugh out loud. "That's not true, Honey, you're reading too much into it. You're smart." "Wipe it yourself. I'm going to take a shower." Mona threw the towel into Maxwell's hands and turned around to walk into the bathroom.

She thought, 'Am I not smart? Of course, I am. It's just that compared to Maxwell, I'm a little lacking.'

After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed. Soon, it was midnight.

When midnight came, Mona and Maxwell said to each other at the same time, "Happy New Year."

Then, Maxwell pulled Mona into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips. There was no lust in the kiss. It was just a light kiss.

The people who were setting off the fireworks outside had not stopped. Mona and Maxwell knew that the fireworks would probably not stop for the entire night. Maxwell's hand rested on Mona's waist, stroking it again and again. This feeling made Mona tremble. "Stop it. We have to be up in a few hours." Mona stopped Maxwell. Their New Year's custom was to get up in the morning to have pastry puffs, give the younger generation New Year's gifts, and then relax for a day.

"I know. Let me rub it for you," Maxwell said softly. He touched the spot where Mona's tattoo was. It was already smooth and could not be felt.

Gradually, the fireworks outside stopped. Mona nestled in Maxwell's arms and gradually fell asleep.

Then just before dawn at three or four o'clock, someone was setting off fireworks again. Fortunately, this liveliness lasted only one day.

There was a knock on the door. Mona knew that she had to get up. Her arms wrapped around Maxwell's neck like a water snake. She groaned for a long time and did not want to get up.

However, she knew that Bernard and Jane were waiting for them. After dawdling for a while, she got up.

Mona had just gotten dressed and was in a daze when she saw a gift appear in front of her.

Maxwell's voice sounded in Mona's ear. "Honey, this is your New Year's gift."

Mona's heart was filled with love as she took it." That's great. I got a New Year's gift after getting married."

"Of course, I remember everything related to you." Maxwell helped Mona straighten the collar of her sweater. He looked into Mona's eyes as if he was waiting for a reward.

Mona smiled at Maxwell. "That's great. Go wash up quickly. Grandpa and Grandma have probably been waiting for a long time."

While washing up, Mona realized that Maxwell did not seem very happy. He was no longer smiling. Mona asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Maxwell did not say anything. He just looked at Mona with his mesmerizing eyes filled with love.

Mona thought about it. It seemed that when Maxwell gave her the gift just now, she did not give him a reward. She thought that Maxwell was really petty.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Then, she placed the foam from the facial cleanser on Maxwell's face and washed it evenly.

Mona smiled at Maxwell's handsome face that was distorted by her own play. She held Maxwell's cheeks, sealing a kiss on his lips.

"Are you happy now?" Mona asked with a smile.

Maxwell said, "Give me another kiss."

As soon as Maxwell finished speaking, Mona obediently planted another kiss on Maxwell's lips. "Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up. Otherwise, Polly would knock on the door again.

Maxwell was in a good mood after being rewarded with two consecutive kisses from Mona. He washed his face quickly and walked out with Mona,

After receiving the New Year's gifts and eating the pastry puffs, the reunion gradually came to an

end.

In the next few days after New Year, the Clem family had an endless stream of guests. On the sixth day, Teddy's parents brought Teddy to the Clem family's residence, saying that they were there to pay their New Year greetings to Bernard and Jane. When the servant came to report, Mona and Maxwell were discussing when to go to work. Bernard was still thinking about New Year and told the servant that he would not see them.
