Maxwell let out a quiet sigh and gently adjusted the strap of Mona's dress, covering a bit of her chest that had shown. Mona looked at him puzzled, wondering what he was doing.
"You were showing a bit. I just fixed it for you," Maxwell explained calmly, though his ears turned a bit red.
Mona adjusted her dress and said with a coy smile, "Thanks, honey. I'll be more careful next time." Mona saw Maxwell's gesture as a sign he was getting closer to her.
Hearing Mona call him "honey" so warmly, Maxwell felt like he could give her his heart. "No, no problem," he replied.
Gordon, clearly uncomfortable with their flirting, immediately urged the servants to serve the dishes. Maybe because it was a rare family gathering, the Carter family had prepared a lavish feast, with each dish carefully crafted and looking incredibly delicious. Richard and Stephanie couldn't eat much because of their age but enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the family reunion. The conversation at the table focused on Maxwell and Mona's wedding plans.
Maxwell mostly nodded and let Mona do most of the talking. To make a good impression on Maxwell's grandparents, Mona carefully chose her words, filling the table with laughter.
After lunch, Juliet helped Stephanie back to her room to rest, and Richard called Maxwell into the study. Donald was also called away by a phone call. With everyone gone, Mona was glad to enjoy some quiet time. She relaxed on the sofa, playing on her phone and munching on fruit that the servants had prepared.
"Well, well, Mona, enjoying some fruit? Are those strawberries sweet?" a voice asked. Mona turned and saw Gordon sitting beside her.
She nodded. "They're alright. If you want some, just help yourself."
Gordon chuckled and grabbed a strawberry from the fruit tray, but he thought the ones Mona was holding looked sweeter. "Mona, is Maxwell treating you well?"
Mona frowned slightly, thinking he was just making awkward small talk. "He's pretty good."
