The Queen's Back

Chapter 100

Maxwell held Mona's hand as they slowly entered the dance floor, immediately attracting the attention of many onlookers.

As the music began, they moved gently. Mona's hand rested lightly on Maxwell's shoulder while his hand supported her waist.

They looked like a perfect pair, handsome and beautiful.

"If I hadn't just asked you to dance, would you have danced with Lydia?" Mona asked curiously.

Before asking, she had already made up her mind. If Maxwell showed even the slightest hesitation, she wouldn't hesitate to grip his shoulder tightly. Maxwell replied without a moment's thought, "No."

Mona was pleased with this answer. She gently stroked his shoulder and said, "But usually, a gentleman wouldn't refuse a lady's invitation"

"I didn't think about it too much. I'll just say it plainly. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do," Maxwell said.

As he held her hand, she twirled around and teased, "Oh, I didn't realize you could be so assertive."

"That's right. But if you ask me to do something I don't want to do, I'll still consider it." Maxwell was willing to compromise for Mona.

Meeting Maxwell's serious gaze, Mona felt her heart racing. "If I ever make you do something you don't want to do, you must tell me. Don't make it hard for yourself."

Maxwell was willing to compromise for her, and she was willing to do the same for him.

When the dance ended, Maxwell took Mona's hand and led her out of the Carter family.
