The Queen's Back

Chapter 275

Maxwell turned around and held Mona in his arms. When he met her blurry eyes, he scratched her delicate nose. "Then I'll go back and lie down with you." As he spoke, Maxwell had already carried Mona. She was very light. Maxwell carried her without any effort and walked toward the big bed in the room. Richard called really early. It was not even five o'clock yet. It was late autumn and the sky was still dark outside.

After returning, Maxwell hugged Mona and went back to sleep.

When the two of them woke up again, the sky was already bright and they had slept enough. They got up and freshened up. It was already past ten o'clock when they finished breakfast. Maxwell's phone had already rung more than once, but he had muted it. When Mona saw this, he said, "Let's go and take a look at Richard. The sooner we go, the sooner we'll come back."

She knew that Maxwell was a person who valued relationships. No matter what, Richard had taken care of Maxwell. Maxwell was indebted to Richard for raising him. Although Richard had a big motive, if something happened to him because Maxwell did not attend Gordon's wedding, she knew that Maxwell would feel terrible in the future.

She didn't think too much about other people. She just wanted to let Maxwell live a relaxed life without any guilt.

Mona pulled Maxwell. Maxwell was still sitting on the sofa without moving. He held Mona's hand and pulled her to sit beside him. After hugging Mona, he said, "Go, go. Come back early!"

Looking at the phone screen showing one call after another, Maxwell answered the call and said, "I'm coming."

Then, he hung up the phone and took Mona out

The weather in late autumn was clear for a change, though the sky was still covered with dark clouds. The sun hid behind thick clouds, emitting only a faint light, providing little warmth.

When Maxwell arrived at the hotel where the wedding was held, the hall was filled with guests. The layout of the wedding was comparable to Mona and Maxwell's wedding. It was extremely luxurious.

Regarding the photo at the door, at that time, Mona was smiling happily, a kind of joy that seemed to radiate from deep within her. Maxwell wasn't looking at the camera but at her. There was a light in his eyes and a slight smile on his lips. Now, the situation with Gordon and Molly was different.

The wedding dress was complicated and exquisite, and so was the groom's suit. However, there was no smile on the bride and groom's faces at all. They were expressionless, especially Molly. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and it was obvious at a glance. Maxwell and Mona did not stay at the guest's place. Instead, they went to Richard's room.

When the door was opened, Maxwell saw Richard with a walking stick. He was still coughing and had lost a lot of weight.

There was no light in his eyes. Maxwell could tell at a glance that Richard's body was not very good.
