The Queen's Back

Chapter 285

"Haley, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Albert stared at Haley. Under the light, her face was exceptionally pale, but her big eyes were filled with tears.

At this moment, Mona and Maxwell walked over. When Mona saw Haley, she knew that Haley was unhappy.

She said, "Albert, why do you have so many questions? Can't you see that Haley is unhappy? Come and sit. Haley, go back to your room to wash your face and change your clothes." As soon as she finished speaking, Mona pulled Haley into Haley's

room.

Maxwell let Albert sit in the living room. Mona returned very quickly. As Albert's brother-in-law, he was very considerate and poured Albert a glass of water.

Albert thought about what Mona had just said. "That was awkward.

After Mona sent Haley back to her room, she comforted Haley. Seeing that Haley was smiling again, Mona walked toward Maxwell.

Mona appreciated Haley's personality - her genuine expressions of joy and sorrow that showed clearly on her face, unlike some people who masked their true feelings with a different outward expression. Thus, whenever Haley encountered something upsetting, Mona was always willing to comfort her and offer support.

For example, when she asked if her appearance was scary, Mona would tell her that it wasn't that her appearance wasn't scary, but that Albert didn't have a guilty conscience, so he naturally wasn't afraid.

Before Mona could say much, Haley comforted herself and quickly resolved the negative emotions in her heart.

After Mona went to the living room, Albert was talking to Maxwell about the army. Maxwell listened the entire time and occasionally said a few words.

When she came down, she heard Albert say, "Maxwell, you don't know, but I'm very powerful now. Did you see the kick I gave Haley just now? I think I already have your strength and speed, don't you think so?"

As soon as Albert finished speaking, he saw that Maxwell, who was originally looking at him, had already looked toward the staircase. Then, he waved at Mona with a smile on his face.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Albert couldn't stay calm. 'Why is there such a huge difference between people? I've talked for a long time here, but Maxwell just offered perfunctory replies.'

Even if Maxwell spoke than ten words, Albert would immediately start to reflect on what he just said that genuinely interested Maxwell, let alone smile. Now, when Mona appeared, Maxwell's expression was extremely happy.

Albert thought, 'Look, he took Mona's hand and sat down. He even handed her decaf and reminded her to be careful. Maxwell really has double standards!" Mona took a sip of the decaf and said, "Albert, it seems that you're doing well in the army."

Upon hearing Mona's words, Albert shook his head and complained, "Mona, which eye of yours saw that I'm doing well? Look at my skin color. It's more tanned. I've also lost weight. I can't eat well every day." "Alright, alright. It'll be over in a year. By then, you'll definitely have plenty to eat. Also, you're a hot-blooded young man, not a young lady. Why do you need such fair skin?" Mona said as she drank her decaf. Albert replied, "Alright, Mona, what you said makes sense. It's almost half over anyway."

The siblings chatted for a while more before Albert remembered to ask Haley what had happened just now.

Mona smiled and said, "She wanted to scare you but didn't expect you to be so bold as to anger herself."

When Albert heard this, he laughed and slapped his thigh. He asked in confusion, "If I knew that she was dressed like this to scare me, I would have shown some respect and cooperated with her." "You're thinking too much. She was just scaring you along the way," said Mona.

Then, she told Albert what had happened.

Actually, Mona and Maxwell did not expect Juliet to be so afraid She just heard what the priests said and read scripture for Richard, telling Richard everything.

Mona and Maxwell had overestimated her intelligence.

Haley had already sneaked into Juliet's room. She was just waiting for Juliet to wake up when Juliet was in a daze and pretend to be Richard to scare Juliet. Haley had even prepared a voice changer, but she did not expect it to end before it even started. After receiving Maxwell's message, she reluctantly came down.

When Albert heard what Mona said, he felt especially excited. If he was there, he would also want to participate.

"Fortunately, I didn't go. Otherwise, Haley would definitely make a fool of herself. There are no ghosts in this world," Albert said disapprovingly.

"You can't say it for sure. Believe it, and it exists; doubt it, and it does not." Mona thought about her second chance at life. Isn't this a mysterious thing?'

Therefore, compared to absolutes, she believed that there were all kinds of strange things in the world.

"Alright, you're right. Mona, I came here today to remind you of something. Barbara is representing the country to participate in the Design Competition in Welintern. It's on the eve of Christmas. Don't forget to go with us. Also, Maxwell, Grandpa, and Grandma, our family will go together." As Albert spoke, his eyes were very bright. He really hoped that the family would go to Welintern together. When Mona heard Albert's words, her eyes were a little evasive. She did not dare to meet Albert's sparkling eyes. To be honest, she did not want to go to Welintern to watch Barbara's competition. She was also very selfish and did not want her family to go. However, her relationship with Barbara was still in a mess. Albert liked Barbara, and Barbara was indebted to her grandfather. Barbara had lived in her family for so many years. It was not so easy to cut ties with Barbara.

After she got a second chance at life, the trajectory of her life was completely different from before. It was the same for Barbara. If Barbara wanted to do anything bad again, Mona would not let her off.

Maxwell could see the unwillingness in Mona's eyes. He did not want to watch any competition either. If he had the time, he might as well be alone with Mona and occasionally have some intimate moments.

"Albert, the period leading up to Christmas is particularly busy at work, and Mona's Star is also at its busiest then. So, it's highly likely that we won't be able to make it," Maxwell explained.

After interacting with Albert for a long time, Maxwell understood him. Albert did not have any bad intentions and treated everyone very well. This kind of personality was not bad in a happy family, but if he entered society, the first person to be deceived would be him. He was innocent and, in unpleasant words, stupid.

Albert was Mona's relative. Maxwell naturally treated him as a younger brother and was sincere to him.

When Albert heard Maxwell's words, the corners of his lips immediately curled downwards. He looked at Mona aggrievedly. It seemed that if Mona did not agree, he would immediately cry RBB.
