The Queen's Back

Chapter 126

The cool sea breeze blew on them, and their feet were gently caressed by the seawater. The sound of the waves filled their ears, and they relaxed a lot.

Maxwell ran around the beach for a while before lying on the rocking chair by the beach. He put on his sunglasses and looked at Mona, who was still picking up seashells by the beach. There was fresh juice, too. Mona was quite energetic. It seemed he had underestimated her

If someone was observing Maxwell, he would notice his eyes had always been on Mona and had never moved away.

Maxwell was in a daze and did not notice a woman was sitting beside him.

It wasn't until the sunlight above his head was blocked and a sweet voice sounded in his ears that Maxwell snapped out of his thoughts.

"Maxwell," Barbara called out with a smile.

Maxwell turned around and saw Barbara's face. He thought about it for a while and remembered this person was someone Mona disliked. So, he chose to ignore her.

Barbara had especially followed them there. Facing Maxwell's attitude of ignoring her, she was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled at Maxwell and said, "Maxwell, you and Mona are also here for a vacation. What a small world!

"Mona loves the sea. I remember that when I went to the beach with Mona, she would drag us to take many photos."

When Maxwell heard Barbara talking about Mona, he looked at Mona who was taking photos by the sea, and listened to her

past.

During the four years he was abroad, Maxwell missed the chance to be with Mona.

He thought, 'If I had refused to leave the country in high school and stayed by Mona's side, who knew if Mona would have, fallen for me at that time? I wondered if I could win Mona from Teddy. 'Fortunately, I'm the one who married Mona, and the person Mona loves is also me.

Seeing Maxwell was listening, Barbara continued, "I remember that when I came to the beach with Mona once, she accidentally fell, and her knee hit a shell. She bled a lot."

When Maxwell heard that, his breathing trembled. He did not know how painful it was when Mona fell. Her skin was especially tender, the kind that would usually turn red after rubbing it twice.

She was bleeding from the fall. How terrible was that? He wondered if Mona had cried then.

"What happened next?" Maxwell asked.

When she heard Maxwell talking to her, the corners of Barbara's mouth curled into a smile. She answered, "After that, I went to call Teddy over. Then, he carried Mona to the hospital. I followed behind them and could see the worry in Teddy's eyes. He did love Mona in his heart."

After saying that, Barbara saw the corners of Maxwell's mouth curl down. It was an expression of unhappiness. She said softly, "Maxwell, I shouldn't have told you this. After all, you're the one who's married to Mona now. However, it was like this at that time. Mona was lying on Teddy's back with a smile on her face."

In the distance, Mona saw a woman sitting beside Maxwell on her phone screen. She pointed the camera at the two of them and zoomed in, realizing the person beside Maxwell was Barbara.

Chapter 128

She quickly put away her phone, put on her shoes, and walked toward Maxwell. I've just been away from Maxwell for a while, and someone is already hitting on him. This is truly intolerable! Mona cursed. After Mona rushed over, she squeezed into Maxwell's chair and took a sip of his drink. back and eat!"

When Mona spoke, she pretended not to see Barbara beside her.

Honey, it's late. I'm hungry. Let's go

"Mona, have fun. I was just talking to Maxwell about you. I can tell Maxwell loves you. You're married. Live a good life!" Barbara talked to Mona while reaching out to lift the hair by her ear. Barbara had carefully searched for this angle. Looking at her from Maxwell's angle, he could see her side profile, her pretty nose, her red lips, and the sunlight. She would look the best. Everyone loved beauty. Barbara believed she would leave a good impression on Maxwell.

"Barbara, it's none of your business whether I live a good life or not. Why? It's not enough to snatch one guy from me, but you still want to snatch the second one. But give up. Maxwell and I are good. I'm afraid you won't be able to fulfill your wish." After Mona finished rebutting, she held Maxwell's hand and walked toward the hotel without looking back. She did not want to waste time with Barbara. She hated Barbara's guts.

Mona had just held Maxwell's hand when the latter held hers tightly. For some reason, Mona felt Maxwell was in a bad mood. She quickly figured out that Barbara must have said something to Maxwell.

"Maxwell, what did Barbara tell you just now? No matter what she said, you can ask me. I will tell you honestly," Mona said.

When two people were together, being honest was the most important thing. Some small misunderstandings often turned into big ones that eventually became unstoppable.

"Well, actually, she didn't say anything. She just said that you were very close to Teddy in the past. He even carried you on his back. I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing that," Maxwell said honestly. Perhaps Maxwell was too petty, so petty that he wanted Mona to only have him in her heart.

"Are you jealous?" Mona asked as she looked into Maxwell's eyes with sparkling eyes.

They were married. There was nothing wrong with being jealous. Maxwell nodded and said, "Yes, I'm jealous. I even regret not getting you to fall for me earlier."

Speaking of that, Maxwell felt regretful. When he was in high school, he realized Mona was the little girl he knew when he was young. He just wanted to get close to her, but there was no way. He could only playfully pull her braids to attract her attention.

Moną looked around and found not many people around. She tiptoed and kissed Maxwell's cheek. "How about this? Don't be jealous. I love you only. I haven't fallen for you earlier. Maybe I was blind then."

Speaking of this, Mona wanted to chat with Maxwell. "Um, why did you keep pulling my braid in high school? I was afraid of you later on."

Maxwell cleared his throat twice to express his embarrassment and said, "Um, I wanted you to notice me. I think I used the wrong method."

Mona nodded and thought, 'Yeah, he did use the wrong method. At that time, Maxwell's reputation in school was not good. Every day after class, he would go to my class to pull my hair and pinch my cheek from time to time. I was so scared that I even wanted to report to the teacher. How could I like him?"
