The Queen's Back

Chapter 349 The sun coldness.

outside was just right. The winter sun always makes people feel warm. When the breeze blew, it brought a hint of Maxwell held Mona's hand and played with it carefully. "Does your waist still hurt?" The thought of her tender skin being tattooed made Maxwell feel heartache. However, the letters "JSH" still made him happy. The two emotions intertwined and made him feel a little odd.

"A little, but it's bearable," Mona said honestly. The tattoo on her lower back was painful, but she felt sweet inwardly. The small injury was not a problem.

When Mona and Maxwell returned home, the family was ready to have lunch just as Maxwell had said.

When Mona and Maxwell stepped inside, they were surprised to find Barbara sitting on the sofa chatting with Bernard and Jane. 'Barbara ctoo soon,' thought Mona.

However, it made sense after thinking about it. Albert and Barbara still had a good relationship. With such a big event about real and fake Maxwell Carter, Albert surely told Barbara soon. Besides, t was Christmas Eve and Barbara was single, so she would naturally visit the Clem family and spend Christmas Eve with them.

"Mona, Maxwell, you're back. I have been waiting for you for a long time," said Barbara.

Mona suddenly saw Barbara here. She was still thinking about things and immersed in her world. Barbara's voice brought her back from her imagination.

Mona nodded calmly when she saw Barbara's smile. She did not even smile as she pulled Maxwell to sit opposite them.

Mona felt she was already showing Albert respect. If Albert were not around, she would not even bother to answer Barbara's nonsense.

Mona's extremely indifferent performance made the happy scene turn cold. Albert glanced at Mona and vaguely felt Mona was too vengeful. It had been so long since then.

Barbara's reputation had been damaged after what happened with Teddy at the engagement ceremony. Even if Barbara won an award in a fashion competition for her country, she could not erase the matter of her sleeping with Teddy.

In Albert's opinion, the key was Teddy was a scumbag. Without Barbara, Mona and Teddy would not have been happy after they got married. How could Mona have the chance to marry Maxwell and becMrs. Carter, who was envied by all the people in Nathontown? These days, Maxwell was excellent for Mona. It made Albert feel Barbara's mistake was nothing. Instead, it was beneficial to Mona.

Moreover, Barbara was always obedient before Mona. She followed Mona's instructions and apologized sincerely. Albert did not understand why Mona was still so resentful of Barbara after all this time.

"Cough, cough. Since Mona and Maxwell are back, let Polly prepare to eat!" Bernard looked at the living room suddenly turned cold and tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, I will help Bernard to the dining table," said Barbara, who did not take Mona's coldness to heart. She just watched as Albert cast a pitiful glance at Mona and even hoped Mona would treat her more harshly. It was so harsh that everyone could not bear it. People always felt sorry for the weak. Compared to Mona, Barbara was the weak one. Naturally, she needed more care from others.

"Alright, let's go!" Bernard said as he grabbed Jane's hand. Barbara walked on the other side of Bernard. When she was about to leave Mona, she turned around and looked at Mona with a smile.

1/2 Chapter 349 "Mona, It's Christmas Eve. Please be nicer to Barbara!" said Alben, who looked into Mona's eyes when he saw Barbara and the others walking away.

"Albert, you're not young anymore. I'll be honest with you. Barbara and I can't go back to the past. I won't say anything if she behaves herself and continues to get along like this. Otherwise, she can return to where she cfrom as soon as possibler After experiencing so many things, Albert is not young anymore. It will not be long before he goes to university. I can not coax him like I did a year ago. Albert has to have a sense of right and wrong, thought Mona.

"Maxwell, look at how stubborn my sister is!" said Albert, looking at Maxwell beside Mona when he saw he could not convince Mona. 'Mona does not listen to me, but Maxwell is her husband. Mona loves him, so she will more or less listen to Maxwell, thought Albert. "What are you talking about? Your sister is in charge of her matters. I support her unconditionally!" said Maxwell, holding Mona's hand tightly. Their fingers were intertwined without any gaps.

Then Mona and Maxwell walked toward the dining room.

Albert looked at the backs of Mona and Maxwell and complained in his heart that Maxwell was a wife-doting maniac. He did whatever Mona said and did not have any opinions at all. Albert followed them angrily.

It was Christmas Eve, and the dishes on the dining table were sumptuous. There were chicken, duck, and fish cooked with different methods, and various kinds of vegetables that emitted a faint fragrance.

Mona naturally sat with Maxwell. After Bernard started eating, Maxwell also picked up his fork and picked Mona's favorite food for her.

Barbara glanced at Maxwell while eating She smiled and said, "I was wondering why Maxwell looked so abnormal a few days ago. He's actually fake. His plastic surgery is good. I couldn't tell at all."

"Barbara, it's not just you can't tell. Even I can't. It's Mona who feels something is wrong. Perhaps it's because they were living together!" Albert echoed. Now, he looked up at Maxwell, who was still the sas the fake Maxwell from last time. However, this Maxwell seemed to be even more difficult to approach. Albert felt it was normal for them not to be able to tell. Besides, there was the amnesia. Only Mona could tell after living with the fake Maxwell for so long.

After hearing Albert's words, Barbara covered her mouth with both hands and said in surprise, "Ah! Living together? Then Mona and that fake Maxwell..." Everyone at the dining table could tell although Barbara didn't finish her sentence! Her words were ambiguous. Didn't Barbara mean Mona's innocence was gone and there was something between Mona and the fake Maxwell? Mona looked up at Barbara opposite her and thought, 'Barbara can't wait forto make a fool of myself!'

Barbara immediately realized she had said something wrong. Just as Barbara was about to say something, Bernard said, "Shut up and eat!" The dining table immediately fell silent, and Barbara obediently lowered her head.

Maxwell did not take Barbara's small action to heart. Since he knew there was nothing between Mona and the fake Maxwell, he naturally would not care. Even if Mona had something with that person without knowing, Maxwell would not blMona even though he felt uncomfortable. He would only blhimself. SEND GIFT
