The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell)

Chapter 114

When Mona said that, the people around her thought she was evading it. After all, she was good-looking and had a pleasant voice. How could she be a terrible singer? Everyone nodded in unison and let Mona continue. Mona had no choice but to pick a song she often listened to. She listened to the tune and slowly sang along.

In the beginning, Mona only sang a few lines to the beat. Although it was not as pleasant as she had imagined, it was acceptable.

When it reached the climax, Mona's voice shot up. The people below wanted to cover their ears.

'Is this the voice they have imagined?' Everyone thought, 'It doesn't look like it at all.

Only Ava felt it was nothing surprising. When everyone wanted to listen to Mona sing, she knew what would happen.

Even so, one person listened especially attentively, and that was Maxwell.

After the song ended, Mona smiled mischievously. She had warned everyone that her singing was out of tune, so it was normal for her to sing like that.

Ava led the applause and shouted, "Good job. Sing another song!

Bud covered Ava's mouth. He was feeling unwell drinking with Ava. He would probably vomit if he listened to Mona's terrible singing again.

Regarding Bud's sudden approach, Ava felt it was a sign of their relationship warming up. She leaned her head on Bud's shoulder, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Bud pushed Ava's head away and took a sip of wine from the glass on the table.

He also felt Ava had a good impression of him, but the key was that he did not want to start a relationship yet. Getting married and having children was too troublesome. If that happened, he would not be able to live freely. Therefore, he was still unwilling to settle down. Ava was already used to Bud's actions. However, after being pushed so many times, she could not help but feel a little sad.

When Artemis and the others were singing, Ava was drinking alone. Seeing that, Mona picked up the wine glass beside her and drank with Ava.

Ever since she met Ava at the hospital and left the ward with a smile, she had not heard Ava mention her relationship with Bud. Mona thought, 'It seems it's not easy for a woman to chase after a man.

When the gathering ended, Mona and Ava were drunk. The two of them helped each other out. Maxwell was worried and walked beside Mona to prevent her from falling.

When they reached the door, Maxwell heard Mona boasting shamelessly. "Ava. Come, take my car. I'll drive you home."

Seeing Ava was about to nod and agree, Maxwell immediately pushed Bud over and said, "Bud is free and will take you home."

Upon hearing that, Ava took a step forward and stared at Bud's eyes with her beautiful eyes. "Really? Will you take me home?" There was doubt and disbelief in Ava's tone.

Bud wanted to refuse, but before he could say it, Maxwell punched him from behind and said in a threatening tone, "Take her home. I'll give you one week off."

Just then, Ava had let go of Mona's arm. She tightly clutched Bud's suit jacket, waiting for him to answer. Bud's eyes met

Ava's teary eyes. For some reason, he nodded.

Then, Ava pulled Bud forward. Bud turned around and looked at Maxwell reluctantly but was frightened away by Mona's singing.

After Ava and Bud left, Mona's gaze landed on Maxwell. She hugged Maxwell's arm and muttered, "Maxwell, I'll sing you a song to express my love for you."

Maxwell nodded and enjoyed the feeling of being approached by Mona. He felt content and did not notice Bud's reluctant gaze at all.

A moment later, Mona's loud voice was heard in the quiet night. For a moment, Maxwell noticed that everyone was looking in his direction. Thinking of Mona's face, he covered Mona's mouth and whispered into her ear, "Mona, sing when we get home." The drunk Mona was not as easy to talk to as the sober Mona. She shook her head at Maxwell and said recklessly, "No, I want to sing here. I want to express my love for you here."

As soon as Mona finished speaking, she opened her mouth and bit Maxwell's hand. Maxwell was in pain and subconsciously removed his hand from Mona's mouth.

Then, Mona's song rang out in the quiet night.

Nigel drove the car over and happened to hear Mona's wild laughter. He looked at Maxwell beside Mona and seemed to feel his helplessness, thinking Maxwell would have such an expression. Nigel said, "Mr. Carter, get in the car."

Maxwell nodded at Nigel. Then, he said to Mona, "Don't sing yet. We'll sing in the car."

Mona had not sung so happily for many years. She just wanted to follow her heart. She could not help but shake her head at Maxwell. Her singing was even louder.

Maxwell looked at Mona's drunken look and could imagine Mona's regret the next morning. Without much thought, he bent down and picked up Mona before walking toward Nigel.

When she got lifted, Mona felt the world before her eyes had turned upside down. She was a little afraid. Mona laid on Maxwell's shoulder and grabbed his suit jacket tightly. She exploded, "Maxwell, what the hell are you doing? Put me down!" Maxwell acted as if he did not hear what Mona said. He carried Mona and strode forward.

The warm street lights shone on Maxwell's face, giving his cold face a golden glow. If one looked closely, they could even see a smile on his lips. In his heart, he enjoyed Mona's unreasonable behavior.

On the other side, Ava was sleepy after Bud took her home. Bud looked at his assistant in front of him and wanted him to carry Ava into the house, but he realized that Ava, who had just leaned against the seat, had already fallen on his shoulder.

At last, Bud could not bear to leave Ava to someone else. He opened the car door and got out. Bud looked at Ava lying on the seat and sighed helplessly. Finally, he carried Ava and walked out.

When he carried Ava on his back, Bud wondered what sins he had committed to have made him carry Ava home as punishment.

Ava, being carried, seemed to feel uncomfortable. She swayed her around on Bud's back, trying to find a comfortable position. 09:20 Sat, Oct 26
