The Queen's Back

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

After tidying up the kitchen and dining area, Mona decided to bring Maxwell a glass of milk. Who cared if it felt a bit awkward? Considering that Maxwell had avenged her in her past life, she owed him this. She knocked on the study door, milk in hand. Maxwell replied, "Come in," and Mona walked in, setting the milk on his desk. "You didn't eat much at dinner, so I thought you might like some milk. It might help you sleep better." "Hmm, thanks," Maxwell said, glancing up at her with a touch of gratitude. He was used to being alone and no one had ever prepared milk for him or shown him this kind of care. Most people didn't even dare get close to him. Suddenly, the annoying message from carlier seemed irrelevant. As long as Mona was willing to stay by his side, that was enough. He could take his time winning her over. "Don't work too late," Mona said with concern. "It's not good for your health."

"Alright. You should get some rest too," Maxwell replied.

After leaving the study, Mona headed back to her room, feeling a surprising sense of security, maybe because Maxwell had slept there before. But as soon as she checked her phone, she was greeted with a flood of messages from Teddy. Teddy: [Mona, I don't care if you're married to Maxwell. You better not sleep with him.]

Teddy: [If you do, you'll regret it! Even if you come crawling back, I won't forgive you.]

Teddy: [Mona, answer me! Don't play dumb with me.]

Annoyed, Mona snapped back. [Are you delusional? How many times do I have to say it? We're done. Why do you keep bothering me?]

To make her point, Mona sent him a picture of Maxwell's room, clearly a man's space. [Whether I sleep with Maxwell or not is none of your business.]

Just as she was about to block Teddy, he replied, [You've got guts, Mona. We'll see if you come crawling back to me later.]
