The Queen's Back

"That's right, Mona, Maxwell. You've already promised me a long time ago. You can't go back on your word." Albert used the serving fork to pick up a chicken wing for Mona and placed it of her plate. His eyes were filled with warning.

Mona and Maxwell looked at each other. Seeing him nod, she also nodded. "Okay, Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go with you." But she just wanted to accompany them on a trip, not to watch the design competition.

The matter was settled just like that. The dinner afterward was pecially harmonious. Mona could see very clearly that the wrinkles at the corners of Bernard's eyes were especially obvious when he smiled.

Jane and Bernard were happy, and so was she. She thought that would be good to accompany her family overseas. She felt that this trip would be even better if Barbara wasn't there.

However, Mona only thought about it. Bernard and Jane were going to Welintern for a holiday at such an old age. Their main goal was to watch Barbara's competition. This competition represented the country. If Barbara could win the award, the honor would belong to the Clem family, and they would be proud.

In the next two days, Mona handed over her work. Maxwell arranged the work for the next ten days. Bud looked at the work arrangements in his hands and his eyes looked at Maxwell. He felt desperate how much work there was.

He thought, 'Maxwell really treats me as his buddy. This is outrageous.

Maxwell could see the dissatisfaction in Bud's eyes. He also knew that what he was doing was not nice. He went on a trip and handed all his work to Bud. He touched his nose and said apologetically, "When I return, I'll let you take an annual leave."

Clem Group was currently in the expansion stage. Maxwell trusted Bud the most in the company. Only by handing the company to him would he be at ease.

Meeting Maxwell's trusting gaze, Bud patted his shoulder hard. "Alright, go home quickly. When you're not around, I'll take care of the company for you."

Anyway, there was no one pestering him now. Bud felt that it was good to work to pass the time.

Maxwell patted Bud's shoulder and left the office. Mona was still waiting for him at home.

When he went out, the sky had darkened. Only the streetlights in the distance were lit. Warm orange light illuminated the area, which reminded people that it was time to go home.

Maxwell sat lazily in the back seat. His well-defined fingers pinched the bridge of his nose. The light outside shone in through the car window, making his facial features look hazy and handsome.

People could not bear to look away after taking a look at him.

Nigel drove seriously in front. He would also go to Welintern with Maxwell tomorrow. Maxwell's safety was his main mission.

The car drove steadily on the road. In a daze, Maxwell subconsciously looked out and saw a man at the intersection. His eyes widened, and their gazes met through the window. As the car drove forward, their gazes missed each other. "Stop the car!" Maxwell ordered.

Nigel parked the car by the roadside as instructed and turned on the lights. Then, he saw Maxwell open the window and look out. There was nothing at the intersection just now.

For a moment, Maxwell felt that he was seeing things because he was too tired from working overtime for the past two days. He couldn't believe that he saw someone who looked exactly like him just now.

Maxwell said, Let's go

Nigel nodded and slowly started the car, driving toward the villa

After the car started, Maxwell closed his eyes to rest. He thought about the person he saw at the intersection just now. He supposed he had worked too hard these few days and was actually hallucinatinge

After returning home at night, Maxwell did not take the person who looked exactly like him to heart at all. He only thought that he was too tired today.

He walked into the bedroom and looked at Mona who was tidying up. The fatigue in him seemed to have disappeared automatically. He hugged Mona's waist from behind and rested his head on the top of her head when he smelled the faint fragrance on Mona. This smell was unique to Mona. It was not the smell of perfume but more like her body fragrance, a fragrance that Maxwell was addicted to.

Maxwell's hands suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind. Mona could smell his familiar scent. Mona put down her clothes, turned around in Maxwell's arms, and kissed his lips.

"Are you done with your work?" she asked with a smile.

Maxwell nodded. When he met Mona's big eyes, he found them beautiful no matter how he looked at them. "I've already instructed Bud. With him taking care of the company, I can rest assured."

"That's good. I see that you've been staying up late for the past two days and there are dark circles under your eyes. I've already asked Hattie to prepare dinner. Sit and rest for a while. After I've packed my luggage, we will have dinner." Mona pulled Maxwell to the front and let him sit on the sofa.

Regarding Mona's good intentions, Maxwell did not refuse and accepted it calmly. He held Mona's hand and squeezed it in his palm for a while before letting go of her hand.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the ground. It was a rare good weather. After Mona and Maxwell packed up, they went to the Clem family's place. They went to the airport with Bernard, Jane, and Albert.

Because Barbara was participating in the competition, she had to get some work done in the early stages. She had already gone to Welintern in advance.

The plane streaked a white line across the blue sky as it took off from Nathontown to Welintern.

In the first-class cabin, Mona felt very comforted when she saw that Albert was taking good care of Bernard and Jane. Once again, she felt that letting Albert go to the army was the right choice. Not only was his life different from how it was in her previous life, but he also knew how to take care of others.

Maxwell covered him and Mona with a blanket. Both of them had a headphone. Mona leaned on Maxwell's shoulder and found a comfortable position. The movie was playing in front of him.

Mona was watching the movie. Maxwell occasionally glanced at it. Most of his gaze was on Mona's face.

Her fair cheeks, thick eyebrows, and small eyelashes attracted him. She had big watery eyes and plump lips. As the plot of the movie changed, she smiled unconsciously, making Maxwell smile.

After a few hours of flying, it was already evening when they arrived in Welintern. The plane landed safely at the airport in Welintern. The hotel had already been booked in advance, and Nigel had already prepared a car.

Barbara still had things to do in the early stages of the competition. She asked her subordinates to pick up Bernard and the others. They immediately got into the car and went to the hotel.

After flying for a few hours, they were very tired, especially Bernard and Jane. Even their curiosity about foreign countries

was suppressed. Now, they only wanted to lie in bed and rest.

After going to the hotel room, they asked the waiter to serve dinner. After they ate something. Bernard urged Mona and the others to return to their rooms.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
