Chapter 220
After a moment. Mona quietly got up to go to the bathroom and ran into the flight attendant who had brought fever. medicine for Maxwell
Mona couldn’t help but think about her kiss with Maxwell, wondering if the flight attendant had seen it, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.
As she held the door handle to step in, the flight attendant approached her, saying, “Mrs. Carter, you and Mr. Carter have such a wonderful relationship. You must be happy together! I’m your big fan. I truly believe what Mr. Carter said. You would never do something like plagiarism.”
Mona was slightly taken aback, but then a genuine smile spread across her face. “Thank you. We’ll stay happy together. I hope you find your own happiness too.”
After she finished speaking, she stepped into the bathroom. After a quick freshen–up, she headed back toward her seat.
As she approached, she noticed that Maxwell had woken up. He was sitting in his seat, glancing around, holding the blanket they had just shared.
“Do you still have a fever?” Mona asked.
She instinctively reached out her freshly washed hand to touch Maxwell’s forehead. Perhaps due to the medicine, his temperature felt slightly lower, making her a bit relieved.
Maxwell’s gaze remained fixed on Mona, intense and focused. He gently grasped her delicate wrist and pulled her slightly guiding her to sit beside him.
Upon waking up and not seeing Mona, he felt a momentary fear
“Tm not running a fever anymore. Did you just go to the bathroom?” Maxwell asked, naturally holding Mona’s hand and playfully fiddling with it.
Mona nodded and picked up the warm water beside her, signaling for Maxwell to drink.
Drinking plenty of water was very beneficial when someone was sick.
After the plane landed in Yosneosiland, a private car was already waiting for them. By this time, it was already evening in Youneosiland. Maxwell took Mona to a hotel near the ball to rest
Brendan’s invitation for the ball was for tomorrow night. This meant that Maxwell was in a hurry to bring Mona to Yosneosiland to explore and relax together.
What Maxwell didn’t know was that Mona’s nervousness was slowly being dispelled by his presence. Regardless of whether Danielle would believe her, she was fully prepared to accept whatever came next
Unlike in the Clem Group, where everyone was familiar, they were surrounded by strangers abroad As they walked down the quiet path, Maxwell intertwined his fingers with Mona’s and handed their luggage to Nigel and the bodyguard behind
them.
Mona occasionally glanced up at Maxwell beside her. Under the warm glow of the streetlights, his handsome face seemed to radiate a soft light. She felt a warmth in her heart, recalling the times they spent together in high school,
With a playful smile, she said, “Maxwell, did you
want to date me early back in high school?”
Looking back, it seemed quite possible. After all, during high school, Maxwell often took advantage of his senior status and liked to be touchy with her.
Wed, Nov 6
Chapter 220
Hearing this, Maxwell stopped under a peach blossom tree. He wrapped his arm around Mona’s waist and gently pushed her against the trunk, blocking her from the tree. His soft voice drifted to her ears with the evening breeze. “What do you think? The moment I saw you again, I wanted to make you mine.”
That year during the military training rehearsal in their first year of high school, Maxwell remembered Mona in her camouflage uniform. She marched with strong steps, her arms straight, and the sunlight illuminated her. Her fair wrist and unadorned face seemed to glow. Although Mona had no expression, he could see a smile in her eyes.
At that moment, Maxwell realized that the name of the girl was Mona. From then an, his obsession with her grew to the point of madness.
Every morning, he would deliberately take a roundabout route just to catch a glimpse of Mona
Mona smiled. “Maxwell, I’ve always been yours.”
She was about to say something further when Maxwell gently grabbed her slender shoulders. He whispered in her ear, “Mona, these little secrets between husband and wife are best shared slowly at night”
Mona’s face instantly turned red. She wanted to call Maxwell a real rogue but couldn’t bring herself to say it. Instead, she found herself laughing foolishly with him.
The hotel was just a short walk away. As soon as they entered, Maxwell wrapped his arm around Mona’s waist and leaned down to kiss her passionately.
Mona had no choice but to tilt her head back, accepting Maxwell’s lingering kiss.
A moment later, their clothes were scattered on the carpet, and Mona was laid on the large bed by Maxwell. She looked into his deep, affectionate eyes, which seemed to glisten as he skillfully unbuckled his belt and leaned over her.
Since Maxwell returned from Noretin to Nathontown, they hadn’t been intimate. Now, in this unfamiliar environment, Mona felt her senses heightened by the darkness. Unsure of where to place her hands and feet, she could only feel Maxwell’s heavy breathing and the shower of kisses
Her slender fingers tightly gripped Maxwell’s tense arm.
Maxwell had been thinking about this since he was on the plane and had endured it until now.
His well–defined hand intertwined with Mona’s slender hand, reflecting his love for her.
There was no light around.
Maxwell turned on the warm light at the head of the bed. It was not blinding, but it was enough to see everything in the
room
