The Queen's Back

hapter 355

Maxwell didn't feel it was ungentlemanly for him to turn down Barbara before so many people. If anyone was to be embarrassed, it should be Barbara, After all, Barbara was the one who was rejected, and Maxwell was the one who rejected her.

Mona looked at the painting before her and Barbara's aggrieved expression. 'Why am I so happy in my heart?' thought Mona. She looked at Maxwell with her eyes full of admiration.

Mona didn't even have Maxwell's painting, so how could she be nice enough to let Barbara have it?

If Mona, before her rebirth, saw Barbara so wronged that she was about to shed tears, Mona would give Barbara the painting. However, Mona was different. After her rebirth, her tolerance would only make Barbara get worse. Mona had to firmly grasp what should be hers.

"I know, Maxwell. It's my fault. I am too greedy!" Barbara lowered her head as she spoke. Her hands were tightly holding onto her dress.

Watching her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

Bernard looked at Mona, then Barbara. Finally, his gaze landed on Maxwell, and he nodded in satisfaction. When Barbara said she wanted the painting, Mona's eyes had looked at it. Clearly, Mona also wanted it.

Maxwell noticed Mona's gaze and gave Mona the painting between them, which satisfied Bernard. It meant Maxwell loved Mona and cared about her in every way.

As for Barbara, Bernard felt he had to find a boyfriend for her. So, someone would paint for Barbara next Christmas. Albert still couldn't bear to see Barbara being wronged. He quickly walked over and said, "Alright, Barbara. Of course, Maxwell's painting has to be given to Mona. If you don't mind, III paint one for you later."

Barbara naturally shook her head and said she did not mind. Barbara looked at Albert with gratitude. She was still more important than Mona in Albert's heart.

In the end, Albert painted. However, instead of painting one as Barbara had expected, he did two.

One was for Barbara, and another for Mona. Albert had done a good job, so neither Barbara nor Mona could say anything bad about it.
