The Queen's Back

Chapter 336

After a long pause, Mona finally messaged Nigel: [Alright, sorry to trouble you, Nigel. I was overthinking.]

Nigel replied: [No worries, we can all feel at ease this way. If you're still concerned, the fingerprint results will be ready tomorrow.]

Mona: [Alright, Nigel, carry on with your work!]

After the message was sent, Mona put down her phone, feeling a bit lost. It seemed she had overthought things-Maxwell was dealing with amnesia, which affected many aspects of his life.

Mona hadn't spoken to Maxwell for two days, mostly because she didn't know what to say or had the opportunity. Every day, he slept until after ten before leading to the office, and his late-night returns-around eleven or midnight at the earliest- meant he came back long after she was already asleep.

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Mona guessed it was Maxwell, who was back earlier than usual. She opened her door quickly, hoping for an honest conversation about moving forward peacefully together.

The moment Mona opened the door, regret washed over her. She shouldn't have stepped out or witnessed this painful scene. Tears traced down her pale cheeks like petals falling in a quiet, sorrowful cascade. Maxwell held a beauty close, their passionate kiss unfolding outside the door. Stunned, Mona stood still, unable to contain herself, approached and slapped him hard.

Acrunching sound echoed on the second floor. Mona felt a deep pain as she realized Maxwell was kissing someone else. It was as if something she cherished had been tainted, leaving her heart heavy with discomfort.

After she slapped him, Maxwell didn't let go of the beauty. Instead, he pulled her behind him, shielding her as he glared at Mona with a look of disdain, his tongue pressed against his cheek, revealing a mocking smile. "Who gave you the courage to hit me, Mona Clem?" Mona chuckled. "Maxwell Carter, you did something wrong and deserved that slap. I'll give you a chance to explain-what/ just happened?" She held onto a glimmer of hope that he was just pretending or perhaps drunk and unaware of his actions. She could find a reason to forgive him if that were the case.
