The Queen's Back

"Alright," Maxwell said. "Let Haley follow you wherever you go these few days. Even if you go to the restroom, you have to let her follow you. With the incident that's happened, I'm worried about you." Maxwell reminded Mona. If anything happened to Mona, his heart would not be able to take it.

"I know that," Mona replied as she nodded.

After that, the two of them dawdled on the bed for a while. Noticing that he was about to be late for Carter Group's meeting, Maxwell reluctantly let go of Mona.

He got up, put on his clothes, and took his phone. He instinctively checked his messages and saw the photo that Brendan had sent him last night.

It was a photo showing a palm. He pressed the return button expressionlessly when he saw Mona walking slowly toward him.

He waved at Mona, signaling her to hurry over and wash up.

"Didn't you say you were going to be late? Why are you still looking at your phone?" Mona pointed out.

Maxwell put away the phone beside him, skillfully squeezed toothpaste for Mona, and handed it to her. "I'm not looking anymore. I'll wash up now."

Mona looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth.

She had attractive eyes and red lips. It had been almost a year since she traveled back in time, but her appearance had not changed much.

However, her flawless collarbone was covered with numerous hickeys that were closely packed together. She immediately shot a glare at the man in front of her through the mirror.

'My husband is really clingy, causing the hickeys to take days to fade every time we make out,' she thought.

Actually, she couldn't entirely blame Maxwell. Her skin was delicate. Often, a light touch would leave noticeable marks.

Despite being glared at by Mona for no reason, he was not angry. Instead, he reached out to stroke Mona's smooth hair.
