The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell)

Chapter 132

"Then you have to remember what you said. Maxwell, I took it seriously," Mona said with a smile. She wanted to live longer. in this life, so long that she could see the white-haired Maxwell.

"Yes, I will keep my word," Maxwell said without thinking. This was the most passionate wish in his heart. In the past, he did not even dare to dream about it.

When the two entered the living room, it was already adorned with twinkling fairy lights. The sofa had been swapped out for one in Christmas red and green, and songs filled the air. Even the maid's attire was infused with a festive vibe. Mona felt the atmosphere and felt like it was Christmas. All this while, her mood had been abnormally low. After listening to Maxwell's words and the arrangements for Christmas, her mood had improved a lot.

"Maxwell, Mona, you're back. Come and sit. It's almost time to cat," Richard greeted. He did not expect Mona to be here too.

After all, Bernard was still lying in the hospital!

Mona and Maxwell greeted him and sat on the sofa.

When the two of them arrived, Gordon's family was already there. When Gordon saw Mona's red and swollen eyes, his heart actually ached. This made him feel strange.

He had always been a man who flirted with women but never truly fell for anyone. However, when it came to Mona, his heart was already aching before he got her.

Gordon had a bad feeling. The reason he gave himself was because Mona had been rejecting him. That was why he could not forget Mona. 'After I sleep with Mona, this strange feeling will no longer exist. After Maxwell and Mona sat down, Richard asked about Bernard out of concern. Mona told the truth. Not long after, the servant said that dinner was ready.

Maxwell held Mona's hand and walked toward the dining table. The two of them sat down next to each other.

At noon, Mona's mood was especially bad and she didn't eat much of the food Maxwell had served her. Now that she knew that Maxwell had contacted a foreign doctor, her mood was much more relaxed. Looking at the food in front of her, she felt hungry.

"Ahem... It's another Christmas. This year, our family has a new member. I hope everyone can get along well. If there's anything, we can discuss it. Also, Gordon, Maxwell is already married, so you should hurry up. I hope that next year, our family will have one more new member, oh no, two more new members." Richard's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Mona's be❝v.

Mona immediately understood what Richard meant. She shyly hid behind Maxwell. She and Maxwell had never thought about having a child.

"Come, everyone, cheers. Welcome Mona to our big family!" After Richard finished speaking, he took the lead and stood up. The other members of the Carter family also stood up and raised the wine glasses in their hands. In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Stephanie. Stephanie reluctantly stood up and raised the wine glass in her hand.

All in all, the reunion dinner was quite satisfactory.

Halfway through the meal, Gordon seemed to be drunk. He looked at Mona opposite him with hazy eyes.

She was wearing a white dress. Due to the heater in the room, she had already taken off her red coat.

This white dress was a little slim. From his angle, he could see Mona's waist and her bulging chest. As she wiped her mouth,

he felt that her lips were exceptionally charming.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that Gordon was bolder. Or perhaps it was because he kept thinking about Mona, but he just couldn't get her. He picked up his wine glass and stood up. Then he walked to Mona and sat beside him. +5

Mona turned around and saw the drunk Gordon sitting beside her. She did not know how much he had drunk, but his face was frighteningly red. His arm was even on the armrest of her chair.

"Come, Mona, have a drink with me! Let me toast you!" Gordon said as he poured wine for Mona.

As he spoke, the smell of alcohol wafted out of his mouth and floated toward Mona. Instantly, Mona felt that the air needed to be fresher and quietly leaned toward Maxwell.

Gordon had already poured the wine and placed it beside Mona's hand.

Mona did not want to drink it. She tugged at Maxwell's sleeve and Maxwell gently held Mona's hand, telling her not to

worry.

When Gordon saw Mona dodging to Maxwell's side, anger surged on his face. He directly sent the wine glass to Mona's hand.

When Maxwell saw this, anger surged on his face. He took the wine glass in front of Mona and said sternly, "Gordon, Mona doesn't drink. If you want to drink, I'll drink with you."

How could Gordon agree? He placed the wine glass in front of Mona and placed his arm on the armrest. He wrapped his arm around Mona's shoulder and said, "That won't do. Aren't you going to show me some respect?" Mona felt his arm on her shoulder and was especially frustrated. She wanted to push his arm over, but Maxwell was one step ahead of her. He directly shook off Gordon's arm on Mona's shoulder.

"Gordon, just say what you want to say. There's no need to touch Mona." After saying that, Maxwell changed seats with Mona and let Mona sit in his seat. He sat in Mona's seat and looked at the drunk Gordon beside him.

If Richard was not around, Maxwell would have slapped Gordon when Gordon put his hand on Mona's shoulder.

When Gordon saw that Mona, who was about to be in his arms, had changed her seats, his mood immediately exploded. He threw the wine glass in his hand at Maxwell.

He even muttered, "I'm going to drink with my Mona. It's none of your business."

Just as the wine glass was about to hit Maxwell, Maxwell grabbed it first and threw the wine glass at Gordon's feet with a bang.

Gordon was only wearing a pair of cotton slippers. The glass shards of the wine glass went straight to his heels. Looking at Maxwel

e was furious.

Without another word, he punched Maxwell and cursed.

How could Maxwell let him have his way? He directly placed Gordon on the table and pressed Gordon's face tightly against it. The wine that had just spilled on Gordon's face felt a little cold.

"What? Are you going to hit me?" Maxwell asked in an affirmative tone. His eyes swept across Gordon with a look of disdain. Then, he said, "You didn't fight enough when you were young, and you still want to continue now? Why don't you take a look at yourself?" As soon as he finished speaking, he threw Gordon to the floor.
