The Queen's Back

Chapter 105 Maxwell read Bud's message, listened to the voice outside the washroom, and replied: JAfter doing this, I'll give you a week off] A week off was quite tempting to Bud. [Really? You're not fooling me, are you?] Maxwell: It's true. When have I ever lied?] Bud: [Alright, I'll go all out for your happiness, Just wait.

Maxwell read Bud's message, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He slowly walked out.

Bud was indeed quick. As soon as Maxwell left and took an apple from the fruit basket to start peeling it, he saw Ava excitedly holding Mona's hand and saying, "Babe, I can't cat lunch with you. I have a date." After saying that, Ava wanted to leave. It was getting late. She wanted to go home, shower, put on makeup, and change into beautiful clothes. Yes, she had a lot of things to do.

Mona grabbed her arm and asked in surprise, "Tellthe truth, girl. Is it Bud asking you out for dinner Her best friend Mona had guessed the little secret in her heart. A silly smile appeared on Ava's lips. She kissed Mona's cheek and said, "Yes, it's Bud. I'm sure I like him and want to woo him Ava said it with an excited voice, a trembling heart, and a smiling face. Mona was also happy for Ava. Regardless of whether Búd liked Ava, Ava had lived a different life. Ava would not die on the operating table and also had someone she liked. That was good.

Beside Mona, Maxwell looked at Ava with a dark expression, wishing he could chase her out. 'How dare she kiss Mona? Gosh, Im so jealous, Maxwell thought After Ava left the ward happily, Maxwell cut the apple he had just peeled into pieces and placed them in Mona's hands. He said nothing and just stared at Mona Mona stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth and looked at Maxwell in confusion. Then, she asked, "What's wrong? It seems you're unhappy now, huh?" Maxwell was indeed upset. He wanted to tell Mona to be sure of her feeling that he was just unhappy.

Then, under Mona's gaze, Maxwell dipped a towel in water and gently wiped Mona's cheek twice. Then, he still seemed unsatisfied.

Maxwell went to the bathroom to get the water and facial cleanser. He washed Mona's face again and rubbed it carefully with his hands. "Yes, this is much cleaner. It's much better now." id it was much cleaner, she realized the spot where Maxwell Mona was stunned by Maxwell's action. When Maxwell washed was where Ava had just kissed her. She burst out laughing.

Then, she looked at Maxwell with bright eyes and said, "Are you jealous of Ava?" When Mona saw Maxwell remain silent, she knew the answer to her question was affirmative. She looked at Maxwell and could not help but laugh. As she laughed, Mona said, "Maxwell, Ava's my best friend. We've been close since we were young. Don't take it to heart, or you'll be jealous every day!" Maxwell looked at Mona coldly. Then, he held her head and kissed Mona's cheek.

He kissed her cheek on the spot where Ava had kissed just now and said, "Yes, I'm jealous. So, be good." Chapter 105 Then, he looked at Mona's face and smiled. "Only then will it be clean Mona looked at Maxwell beside her and reached out to feed him a piece of apple. Maxwell ate it consciously.

Looking at how Maxwell looked at her, Mona could not help but think that Maxwell was different from before. Other than being cold, he had many emotions on his face. Mona couldn't help but think, 'Is it because I'm with him now? After lunch, Mona said she would participate in Nathontown's Design Competition. Maxwell looked at Mona on the bed, who was still pale. He couldn't bear to see her go and wanted her to rest in the hospital, but he knew it was Mona's dream, so he agreed.

In the middle of the afternoon, Mona was discharged from the hospital and left with Maxwell. Perhaps because Maxwell had appeared in tand Mona's physical fitness was good, her high fever subsided at noon Maxwell invited the makeup artist and costdesigner to his house. He stayed with Mona for half the afternoon to do her styling and makeup. He did not even go to the office.

When the two of them were done dressing up, Mona and Maxwell took the dress-Mona designed and went to the Design Competition.

When they arrived, the entrance was already filled with people. Many reporters were taking photos at the door. Mona held Maxwell's arm and slowly walked into the hall.

The moment the two of them arrived, they instantly attracted the attention of the people at the door. A handsman and a beautiful m Woman were pleasant to the eye. It didn't matter whether the work of design could win an award or not, Whenever the two of them appeared on camera, people couldn't help but take a few more glances. Maxwell and Mona walked in under the light. Maxwell sat in the front row. Mona handed her dress to Artemis in the dressing room backstage, where she met Lydia, who was also a model

Lydia looked at Mona as if she had seen a ghost. She thought, 'Shouldn't Mona be in the vocant the Ilthat he had succeeded guy telllast night? Why is Mona here now? Does it mean my plan went up in smoke? Will Maxwell still pay attention totoday?' The answer, of course, was no. "Miss Reed, why are you looking atlike that? Anything on my face?" Mona stared at Lydia. As Mona asked, she slowly approached Lydia.

Mona had noticed Lydia's shocked gaze just now and was sure Lydia was the one who kidnapped her the previous night.

Lydia panicked as Mona approached her step by step and thought, 'Has Mona already known I had gotten someone to kidnap her last night?" Lydia subconsciously took a step back and forced a smile. "No, nothing. I just took a casual look." "Oh? That's quite casual. Your eyes are on me," Mona mocked.

After saying that, Mona did not want to talk to Lydia anymore. She told Artemis about what would happen on the stage later.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Lydia took out her spare phone and walked into the corner outside the door. She secretly called the person who kidipped Mona.

The moment the call connected, before the person on the other end could say anything. Lydia swore, "What's wrong with you guys? Are you not doing your job after taking money? Why is Mona here now?*
