The Queen's Back

Chapter 227

In the end, Mona nestled into Maxwell's arms and gradually fell asleep.

Maxwell gazed at the person sleeping in his arms, his eyes softening as he placed his palmn on Mona's abdomen.

He said in a very low voice, "Be good in Mommy's stomach. Otherwise, just wait and see how Daddy will discipline you when you come out."

He spoke as if Mona was already pregnant.

Sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains, illuminating the hotel room.

In a half-asleep, Mona felt a wave of heat wash over her. Instinctively, she turned over, and the large hand covering her abdomen followed her movement.

Mona reached out to remove Maxwell's hand because she felt uncomfortable and her belly

y was too warm.

Before long his hand was back on her abdomen.

"It's so hot, can you move over a bit?" Mona mumbled.

After saying that, she immediately became wide awake, thinking. Does Maxwell really think I'm pregnant?

"Wait, Maxwell, I don't even know if there's a baby in my belly!

"Yes, honey, I know. But I believe in our compatibility. The child is already here," Maxwell said confidently. "Fine, if you say so, then there is. Just don't be disappointed if we find out there isn't. Mona yawned.

She would just leave the matter of having a child to fate.

Their business in Yosneosiland was settled, and Mona asked Maxwell when they would return home. Maxwell replied that he had taken a few days off to spend time with her in Yosneosiland before heading back to Nathontown. For the next two days, Maxwell and Mona wandered around the tourist spots in Yosneosiland like an ordinary couple, taking pictures and posting updates on Facebook from time to time,
