The Queen's Back

Chapter 219

Around 10 PM, Mona received a message from Maxwell telling her to go to sleep and that he would be back later.

Mona knew Maxwell was busy, so she simply replied. (Okay, take care of yourself]

Without waiting for Maxwell's reply, she placed her phone on the nightstand, left a dim warm light on for him, and gradually closed her eyes. Around 3 AM, a black Bentley slowly pulled up to the Clem family home. Maxwell got out of the car and quickly walked inside, looking cautious. Mona left the door open for Maxwell, and he gently pushed it to enter..

On the black bed, a slight mound formed under the warm light, casting a soft glow on Mona's hair and creating a hazy atmosphere. Her slender arm rested outside the black comforter, and against its dark fabric, her fair skin appeared even more radiant. Seeing that Mona had left the light on for him, Maxwell's heart trembled slightly, filled with love. He tiptoed into the room and gently closed the door behind him.

Once inside, he first tucked Mona's exposed arm under the blanket. As he looked at her peaceful face, Maxwell

subconsciously touched her gently, feeling all his fatigue from a busy day at work vanish. He then turned and went to the bathroom.

When he was taking a shower, he deliberately lowered the sound of the water, afraid that he would wake Mona up on the bed.

He knew Mona could be a bit cranky when someone

woke her up.

Maxwell lifted the corner of the blanket and lay down beside Mona. Sensing his presence, she instinctively rolled into his arms, her face resting against his chest. Snuggling into Maxwell's arms while sleeping had become a natural habit for Mona

Once Mona found a comfortable position in his arms, Maxwell gently wrapped his arms around her, instinctively keeping his hand away from her waist. He knew she still had bruises there. The night passed quietly and peacefully.

The warm yellow sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains onto the bed, and Mona instinctively turned over feeling a bit hot. She stretched her hands and feet out from under the blanker

Then she felt someone gently taking her hand back under the blanket. Without needing to guess who it was, Mona wrapped her slender arms around Maxwell's neck and nuzzled her face against his neck. In a still half-asleep voice, she said. "Honey, hug me!" When Mona first got together with Maxwell, she would feel shy in front of him. But now, she was an expert at being cute and playful with him.
