The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 

“Maxwell and I have registered our marriage. Why don’t we hold a wedding?” Mona asked Teddy back mercilessly. Then, she struggled to break free from Teddy’s restraint and walked home 

Teddy watched as the arm in his hand slowly slipped off. His eyes flashed with reluctance and jealousy. 

He was jealous that Maxwell could have a wedding with Mona. Holding a wedding with Mona was the last thing Teddy wanted to do in the past, but at the moment, it was indeed something he longed for but could not complete. 

Seeing Mona was about to reach her house, Teddy grabbed Mona’s hand and pulled her out. 

Mona struggled twice, but Teddy didn’t let go. So, Mona hit Teddy’s hand with her other hand and said furiously, “Teddy, are you crazy? Let go of me!” 

No matter how Mona hit his hand, Teddy did not let go. He kept pulling Mona out. “Yes, I’m crazy. I let you were in love with me before. Now, you don’t like me, and I can’t stop thinking of you.”

Mona wanted to laugh when she heard that. ‘He can’t stop thinking of me? Holy shit! What a joke. If he had even cared about me in his heart, I would not have fallen off a building in the past. 

The thought made Mona angry. Her heart was filled with hatred as she swung her hand forcefully. Teddy didn’t brace himself and let Mona struggle away. When he wanted to drag Mona back, Mona slapped him in the face. 

Mona already hated Teddy to begin with. And Teddy dared to provoke her. The slap could be said to be full of strength. After the slapping, Mona felt good. She wished she could slap Teddy a few more times to vent her anger. 

Teddy pressed his tongue against his cheek and looked at Mona in disbelief. It was as if he wanted to see some care and regret from Mona’s hands, but there was none. 

In the past, Teddy would lie to himself and tell himself that Mona still loved him and that she was just angry. Mona would forgive him when he coaxed her and talked nicely to her. 

However, at the moment, he knew he was just being self–righteous. Mona had let go. After four years of dating, she did not care about Teddy anymore. 

“Mona, about the message I sent you last time, I meant it. I’ve broken up with Barbara. I do want to be with you,” Teddy said with the last bit of hope. 

If Mona heard Teddy’s sincerity before, she would have forgiven him. However, Mona, who had experienced death, wouldn’t be moved. Instead, she would only feel disgusted. 

Mona snorted, “It’s up to you whether you want to break up with her or not. It has nothing to do with me. I’m married.” After saying that, Mona turned around and saw Maxwell rushing toward her. She did not know if it was because he was hurrying, but his steps were much bigger. 

She had found the person who loved her the most and could never fall for someone else’s nonsense. 

Mona smiled at Maxwell and ran to him. She threw herself into Maxwell’s arms and said, “Honey, someone wants to hit on me. Fortunately, I’m devoted and haven’t changed my feelings for you. I love you.” 

A soft body suddenly appeared in his arms. A familiar scent came over, and Maxwell felt at ease. 

Maxwell thought, ‘As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Mona and Teddy so close together and Teddy’s affectionate gaze. I thought Mona had changed her mind. Fortunately, Mona still loves me.’ 

“Well done, and you will be rewarded,” Maxwell whispered.

Then, he lifted Mona’s chin with his palm and lowered his head to kiss her. His big hand held Mona’s waist and he opened his eyes to look at Teddy. The corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up. 

Maxwell wanted to tell Teddy that Mona was his wife and that everything about Mona belonged to him. To the two of them, Teddy was just an outsider who could only watch them kiss. 

Teddy’s eyes met Maxwell’s provocative gaze. His hands hanging by his side subconsciously tightened. Things that he did not care about in the past had become something he had extremely high hopes for. After taking a few glances, Teddy retracted his gaze and left. 

After Teddy left, Maxwell looked up and let go of Mona. His thumb gently rubbed the corner of Mona’s lips as he asked in a low voice, “What do you think of this reward, Mrs. Carter?” 

Maxwell had kissed Mona for long. Her face was red to her ears. Upon hearing Maxwell’s words, Mona was too embarrassed to look up at him. Without answering, she turned around and walked home. 

Maxwell looked back at Teddy who had left, caught up with Mona in big strides, interlocked his fingers with hers, and walked inside. 

The two of them had set their wedding date and met their families. They were the closest people to each other. 

More than ten days went by in the blink of an eye. There were only three days left until the wedding. 

Mona had been trapped at home by Jane to try on the wedding dress and styling. She had been served by stylists who came to her door, being extremely busy. 

Under such circumstances, Mona began to feel nervous, followed by insomnia. 

The day before the wedding, Jane left Bernard behind and slept with Mona. The two of them lay on the bed and chatted. They talked about the interesting things that happened in Mona’s childhood and the things that would happen in the future. 

In the past, the night before Mona and Teddy got married, Jane slept with Mona in the same way. However, she did not talk to Mona about such relaxing things. Jane’s eyes were reluctant, but in the end, she kept asking, “Mona, do you love Teddy? Do you want to marry him? It’s not too late to regret it now.” 

At that time, Mona’s heart was on Teddy. She replied, “Yes. I love Teddy and want to marry him. I won’t regret it.” 

Mona was fully focused on marrying Teddy then. But what did she end up with? The next day, during their wedding, she found Teddy and Barbara kissing on the top floor. When Teddy and Barbara saw Mona, they pushed her down from the top floor, and Mona ended up dead. 

As they chatted, Jane brought up Beatrice, who reminded her daily to buddle up for the cold weather and often brought her food. Jane said Beatrice didn’t do it deliberately and wanted Jane to forgive Beatrice. 

It was fine if it was just one or two days. Jane still resented Beatrice in her heart. However, she was swayed as Beatrice had been persistent and kept doing it. Gradually, Jane’s hatred for Beatrice decreased. 

Jane wanted to come when she knew Mona and Maxwell would hold their wedding but was rejected by Jane because Jane knew Mona didn’t like it. 

“Grandma, Beatrice is indeed good to you now, but she has hurt my mother. No matter what she does, I won’t forgive her. If my mother were still alive, I think my mother would have the same thoughts as me. After all, my mother was so good to Beatrice when she was alive. Can you imagine how sad my mother would be to find out Beatrice had betrayed her?”
