The Queen's Back

"Maxwell, is there something good holding you in the room? Why are you taking so long to change your clothes?"

Mona could not help but tease Maxwell when he finally came out of the room.

"There's nothing better than you. I'm ready now. Are we still going to the airport?" Maxwell said sincerely.

After he went downstairs, he held Mona's hand immediately by instinct.

Haley was used to these situations. She grabbed Mona's suitcase and walked out of the house, giving them some personal space.

She was not going to be a third wheel.

"We're late because you're slow. Hurry up."

As soon as Mona finished speaking, they followed Haley's footsteps.

Halley drove on the way to the airport. Mona and Maxwell sat in the back. Maxwell held Mona's hand and never let go. His gaze was still on Mona.

The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was beautiful. He was getting more reluctant to part with Mona and would like to keep her close by his side. He could not imagine how he had lived without Mona in the past.

Mona felt embarrassed by Maxwell's intense gazes. She leaned into Maxwell's embrace. She closed her eyes and took a nap to ignore the gazes. She would just let Maxwell look at her however he wished!

After Mona closed her eyes, her long eyelashes moved gently. The shadow of the lushy lashes cast on her snow-white face, giving off a sense of tranquility. Maxwell stared intently at Mona's sleeping face. He subconsciously tucked Mona's hair behind her ear.

Mona was not asleep. She only closed her eyes. When Maxwell touched her, she subconsciously blinked. She opened his eyes and looked at Maxwell. "Mona, when are you coming back to give me the special treatment?" Maxwell asked.
