The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 

Under the light of the setting sun, Haley seemed covered in a golden halo. When Albert opened his eyes in a daze, he felt that she was a little cute. 

But when he regained his senses, he decided he had to have been still half–sleep just now. He followed her back to the ward. 

Having discovered Haley had a talent for sports, Albert said, “Haley, I want to discuss something with you.” 

“Tell me,” Haley said casually. Her intuition told her that it was not something good. 

“Well, what do you think of me?” 

“What do you mean? Be clear.” 

“Well, although you look petite, you’re very good at running and fighting. I want to train with you. Will you teach me?” Albert asked. 

He still had a few days of leave left from the army. If Haley could teach him over the next few days, he should improve. Moreover, now that his grandfather’s condition had stabilized, he had nothing to do in the hospital. 

Haley shook her head and said, “No.” 

“Why? Don’t you find it boring to train alone? Besides, I’m not bad either. I can accompany you. Let’s strive to be better together.” Albert quickly walked forward and stood in front of Haley. 

Haley continued to shake her head and said, “It’s not boring to train alone. Moreover, you’re very lousy and can’t keep up with my pace. You’ll slow me down.” 

Albert thought Haley’s words made sense. After all, he could not run for the entire afternoon without even panting, like she did. However, his desire to have Haley teach him grew stronger. What can I do to change your mind about teaching me?” 

Haley thought for a moment and rejected without hesitation, “Nothing.” 

Albert’s mind spun quickly. He thought about what Haley liked chicken drumsticks. He quickly said, “If you teach me, I’ll treat you to chicken drumsticks every day. How about that?” 

“No need. Mona will give them for me.” As Haley spoke, she quickened her pace, eager to have dinner. 

“I’ll treat you to food made by a chef. They’re very delicious. Just thinking about them makes me drool. It’s different from what Mona gives you. Moreover, it’s not just chicken drumsticks. There are also other delicacies. For example, steak. Will you reconsider?” 

At the mention of food, Haley felt that her mouth salivating. She really wanted to eat delicious food so she said, “When do we start?” 

She thought that perhaps Albert did not understand what she meant, so she clarified, “When do I start teaching you? I want boin chicken drumsticks and steak.” 

Albert nodded readily and said, “Alright, we’ll start tomorrow morning.” 

Haley smacked her lips. Tomorrow was fine. She reminded him, “Don’t forget my chicken drumsticks and steak. I want really delicious food.” 

As they spoke, they walked into the hospital’s inpatient department. 

Bernard was a special patient, and Mona was willing to pay. Thus, they rented an apartment in the hospital, ensuring enough rooms for them. When they returned, they greeted Mona, who was sitting on the sofa, and returned to their rooms to

Mona looked at their backs and shook her head with a smile. Now that Haley was with them, life was a little more joyful. 

The next morning, Albert continued to sleep, completely forgetting that he had said he would train with Haley last night. 

Haley walked in circles outside the living room, thinking about going down for a walk. However, she remembered her deal with Albert last night. She wanted her chicken drumsticks and steak. After some hesitation, she sat on the sofa again. 

When the clock turned six o’clock, Haley couldn’t wait any longer and walked to Albert’s room. She was about to knock when she realized she could open the door with a push. Albert hadn’t locked the door when he went to sleep last night. 

Without thinking, Haley kicked the door open and strode into Albert’s room. Seeing Albert still sleeping soundly, she was furious. She walked over and shouted, “Albert, it’s late. Get up now.” With that, she reached out to yank Albert’s blanket off him. 

When Albert heard Haley’s voice in his sleep, he assumed he was thinking about Haley again. He kept dreaming about her all night and thought he was doing it again. 

But when he felt someone was tugging the blanket off him, he hurriedly opened his eyes. That was when he saw Haley very close to him. With the light in his eyes, he subconsciously grabbed the blanket back. 

However, he was a step too late. Haley had already pulled his blanket half of him, revealing his six–pack. 

Albert felt shy at once. He instantly covered his body with a corner of the blanket, and snapped, “Haley, what are you doing? Stop!” 

Haley casually glanced at Albert’s abs and said disdainfully, “That’s it? That’s lousy. Besides, why aren’t you wearing pajamas when you sleep?” 

Before Haley yanked the blanket, she thought Albert would wear pajamas. After all, everyone she knew wore pajamas. She didn’t expect Albert to be an exception. 

“I sleep alone. Why would I wear pajamas? Besides, you were clearly at fault. How could you simply enter my room?” Albert demanded. 

Haley let go of the blanket. “Didn’t you say you wanted to train with me? Look at the time. I’ve been waiting for you than an hour. I’ll give you another ten minutes.”
