The Queen's Back

Chapter 343

Maxwell was terrified of the chaos the imposter could cause and the way he might slowly break Mona's heart. He feared that she would be hurt, sad, and unhappy. Above all, he dreaded the thought of Mona not loving him anymore, leaving him alone.

He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, drifting off to Mona's promise each evening. She had said, "Maxwell, I will love you for the rest of my life. The love you lack, I will give you I will continue to love you even after I die, and I will always be your wife." Maxwell had barely fallen asleep before memories of the videos, where the imposter spoke to Mona, crept back into his mind, causing him to stir awake.

But tonight was different; Mona was nestled in his arms. After such a long time, he could finally enjoy a restful sleep. Though the night was brief, it was filled with tranquility..

Perhaps both of them had something on their minds, but just as dawn broke, Mona was awake. She felt relief seeing Maxwell's arm wrapped around her, recalling that they had rescued him the day before. She looked up, her gaze met Maxwell's, and she lazily greeted him, "Good morning, Maxwell!*

"Good morning! Why did you wake up so early today?" Maxwell asked, gently running his fingers through Mona's hair.

"Because I wanted to see you as soon as possible, but I couldn't sleep anymore," Mona said with a playful smile, snuggling closer to Maxwell.

With Maxwell by her side, Mona felt truly blessed. Waking up to see him first thing in the morning made her believe her excellent mood would last all day. Upon hearing her words, a smile lingered on Maxwell's lips, and he wished they could stay together like this forever and ever.

After they finished getting ready, Mona expected that she and Maxwell had woken up early enough. However, as soon as they went downstairs, she was taken aback. Quite a few people were sitting on the sofa, and Albert, in particular, was craning his neck to look in her direction.

"I told you my sister would wake up early today; I'm always right about this," Albert said with a grin to Haley.
