The Queen's Back

Chapter 123

Maxwell walked to the bed and carried Mona with one hand. He lifted the blanket and put her in. "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Go to sleep. I'll go tidy up."

As soon as Mona got into bed, she turned over and nodded. She snuggled under the blanket and closed her eyes to sleep. Although she did not check the time, she knew it was late.

After Maxwell tidied up the bathroom and came out, Mona was already asleep. She was as quiet as a cat.

His eyes fell on Mona's exposed skin. The bruised marks on it were eye-catching. It was Maxwell who left the marks.

Maxwell turned off the lights and slept beside Mona in satisfaction. He hugged her in his arms and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her lips.

The light had already reached the darkness, illuminating it completely.

Mona didn't seem to be sleeping tight. She groaned softly in Maxwell's arms.

With just one sound, Maxwell's thoughts subconsciously drifted to the bathroom. Looking at Mona's face, he was satisfied.

The next morning, Mona turned over and felt pain all over. When she opened her eyes, she met Maxwell's eyes. She did not know when Maxwell woke up but found him admiring her sleeping face.

Thinking of what happened the night before, Mona could not help but blush, and her heart beat faster. She had begged Maxwell for mercy. But Maxwell was a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing. He agreed verbally, but his action was the opposite of what he said.

At the thought, Mona reached out her hand to playfully punch Maxwell. When she hit him, the silk pajamas naturally slid down. Mona looked at her arm and was surprised, wondering why her arm was red.

Perhaps it was because her skin was tender, and a light touch would leave some marks. However, she remembered no marks on her arm when she slept last night. She thought, 'Where were the marks from when I woke up.'

Mona's gaze landed on the man beside her and questioned, "This, you did this?"
