Chapter 161 

“Dear, you’re here already?” Mona embraced Maxwell’s sturdy waist tightly, pressing her face into his chest and immersing herself completely in his warmth 

Recognizing Maxwell’s arrival, Haley, standing nearby, discreetly slipped away to give the lovebirds some privacy. She knew that Mona wouldn’t plan to be jogging at that moment. 

Maxwell placed one hand on 

her shampoo, filled his sense,a’s waist and the other softly caressed her luir. Her familiar fragrance, laced with traces of 

her shampoo, filled his senses. “I missed you so much, he murmured. “I tried to wrap up everything as fast as I could just to be here with you sooner.” 

“You’re so amazing. Maxwell, Mona murmured while she smuggled up to him, conveying how much she’d missed him. 

“You bet.” he replied, voice hushed and a touch playful. “Care to call me ‘Maxy‘ again? I’d do anything for you if you’d do that for me. The hint of longing in his deep tone was unmistakable 

“Maxwell, what’s wrong with you? I think you have a problem” She loosened her hold on his waist, glancing up at him with her clear, bright eyes. 

“Well, what can I say? Your voice is so lovely, Mona. Say it when it’s just us, how about that? A little Maxy now and then, and I’m all yours. 

Before she could voice any objections, he leaned in for a kiss, one he had been yearning for the entire evening. They held each other tightly, his warmth and desire so intense that it left her craving more. 

Feeling the discomfort of standing for too long, Maxwell lifted her gently and sat her down on the couch, cradling her in his lap while he gazed at her intently. 

Mona felt her head spin after his deep and passionate kiss. When she finally opened her eyes, she realized she was sitting on his lap and could feel the effects of his passion. 

Blushing fiercely, she gently pushed him, whispering, “Why are you always like this as soon as you see me? 

“Oh, boy, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it. It’s just that you, Mrs. Carter, are too mesmerizing 

He was just about to pull her close again when Mona shushed him with a finger. “Ok, that’s enough. If you keep this up, people will notice, she whispered, glancing around nervously. 

“So, does this mean you agree to my little request?” he murmured, still holding her, with no intention of letting go. 

“Ugh, enough already,” she replied softly, feeling a little helpless. She suspected he’d planned the entire affectionate display just to make her submit to him. 

is you until you do it,” he 

“Oh, come on now, just do it for me. Just one little ‘Maxy, and I’ll let go of you, Otherwise, I’ll kiss, teased, his voice a lighthearted threat. 

Mona, caught between wanting to escape and being charmed, finally caved “Ugh. Fine, Maxy, Will you please let me go. now?” 

Hearing the soft, affectionate words slip from her lips, he smiled stealing one more kiss before finally loosening his embrace 

As soon as he released her, Mona quickly scooted off his lap and onto the sofa beside him while blushing fiercely. 

That afternoon, Albert came back from the military base with Barbara. As Mona and Maxwell approached the entrance to Bernard’s hospital room, they noticed Barbara already standing there with Albert.

However, Mona remained silent, giving Barbara only a fleeting glance as she passed by and clutching Maxwell’s hand while they made their way into the room. 

Sensing the tension, Albert whispered to Barbara, “Don’t be too upset. Mona is probably still hurting from the past incident. Just give her some time, and when she fully moves on from Teddy, I’m sure she’ll forgive you by then. After all, we all grew up together and have years of shared memories. Everything will be alright with time” 

Albert was in a delicate position; both Mona and Barbara were his sisters, one through his mother, the other through his father. In the past, he favored Barbara more than Mona, but since Mona’s marriage to Maxwell, he had begun to see both women on equal footing. 

Meanwhile, Barbara, whose attention had been lingering on Maxwell, looked visibly saddened by Albert’s words with her gaze shadowed with gloom 

She knew Mona was determined to keep her distance, and while Barbara didn’t want to grovel, she still maintained a public image of wanting to reconcile with Mona
