    Mona sensed Maxwell''s unhappiness. Before he walked in, Mona smiled and went out to wee him.


    It was alreadyte autumn and the temperature was still a little low. Mona was wearing a sweater that she had designed herself today. It was light yellow and matched with jeans designed by ra. When she was drawing the design today, she felt that her hair was a little in the way, so her hair was tied up into a high bun, making her look yful and cute.


    As soon as Mona came out, Maxwell''s eyes never left her. For a moment, Maxwell saw the Mona from high school. She was sunny, bright, and beautiful. However, these things never appeared in front of him. They did not belong to her. Every time she saw him, she would look afraid. This made Maxwell think that he must look very scary.


    Later on, many girls confessed to him. Only then did he realize that he wasn''t scary-looking. It was just that Mona didn''t like


    him.


    However, it was different now. Mona belonged to him. His heart instantly felt warm.


    Mona held Maxwell''s strong hand and said with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Come in quickly. It looks like it''s going to rain soon."


    Nathontown''ste autumn was like this. There were more rainy days and it was already evening. Dark clouds filled the sky and the wind blew. It was a little gloomy and cold.


    Maxwell nodded. He held Mona''s seemingly boneless hand and walked home.


    After being married to Mona for such a long time, Maxwell finally felt like home. Every time he returned home and saw Mona, his bad mood would naturally turn into a good one.


    These days, Maxwell had a lot of work to do. It was usually already six o''clock when he returned home. Mona had already prepared the ingredients and was just waiting for Maxwell to return home and stir-fry them.


    It was not that Mona waszy and did not want to cook. It was just that Maxwell did not agree with her doing these things. Her slender hands were fair and tender. Maxwell felt that her hands should not be doing these chores. Her hands were used to hold brushes. When cooking, if she was identally sshed by hot oil and she did not feel heartache, Maxwell would.


    Seeing that he was working hard and wanted to help him, Mona cooked the pasta and cut the vegetables in advance, and wait for him toe back to cook. This way, it was just right.


    Maxwell was also afraid that he would interfere too much and Mona would feel ufortable, so he had no rejections when Mona asionally sent him a meal and had a gathering with her friends at home.


    Mona tied the apron strap for Maxwell, and Maxwell skillfully started the fire. After the pot was heated, he added oil, then added onions, ginger, and garlic. After stir-frying each vor, he added the dishes that needed to be stir-fried.


    When Maxwell was cooking, Mona skillfully handed Maxwell what he needed. Then, after the dishes were cooked, she would secretly take a bite. Then, she smiled and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, praising Maxwell, "It''s so delicious, Maxwell. Your culinary skills have improved again."


    Then, she would feed it to Maxwell to try. After seeing Maxwell nod, she was like a gluttonous little mouse, secretly taking a bite.


    It was not that they could not afford to hire a maid. It was just that Mona and Maxwell were willing to cook for themselves, This was mainly a part of their lives and was beneficial to their rtionship.


    After all, the food he made tasted different. There was satisfaction and pride in it.

    Hattie cooked when Maxwell had to go out to socialize at night or be on a business trip. Mona did not like to waste food and could not eat much alone, so she would ask Hattie to eat with her. Hattie told her colleagues about the situation in Maxwell''s house. Every day, she had a lot of her own time but her sry was the same as theirs. Her colleagues envied her. Their employers were hard to please and picky about food. There were a few times when they made new food that did not match their employers'' appetites and had to cook again.


    After Mona and Maxwell finished dinner and showered, Maxwell dried Mona''s hair as usual. In the past year and a half, she had cut her hair once. Now, her hair reached her lower back. After showering, it naturally hung down behind her, making her face only the size of a palm. Mona enjoyed the process of Maxwell drying her hair, especially when his fingers massaged her scalp. It was numb and veryfortable.


    "Maxwell, did something make you unhappy again today?" Mona looked up at Maxwell and asked.


    Maxwell met Mona''s almond-shaped eyes from afar. They were especially clear, like theke water. Originally, Maxwell did not intend to tell her that Richard was looking for him. If she knew, she would also be troubled. But now, Maxwell knew that he could not lie to her. He nodded gently. "You are really smart!"


    Mona wrapped her arms around Maxwell''s strong waist and said. "Then tell me. I''m always here."


    At this point, Maxwell did not hide anything from Mona. In the end, he said, "After I hung up the phone, Richard sent me a WhatsApp message. He said that he felt that his health hasn''t been good recently. Even if he went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said he was fine. He doesn''t have many years left and still wants me to attend Gordon''s wedding."


    How could Maxwell not understand Richard''s thoughts? ''He asked me to attend Gordon''s wedding mainly to let people in Nathontown know that the Carter family and I are still on good terms after breaking off our rtionship. This will be beneficial to the Carter Group.'' He understood it but was a little frustrated. ''Although the Clem Group''s business has expanded a little under my management, it''s still far from enough to annex the Carter Group. The Clem Group needs to be stronger!


    When Maxwell said that, Mona was listening very carefully. In the end, she advised, "Maxwell, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. If it really doesn''t work out, I will apany you. We won''t eat there. This way, you can visit Richard. Since you won''t stay for lunch, the guests will naturally know that your rtionship with the Carter family isn''t particrly good. Do you think this is okay?"


    Maxwell lowered his head and kissed Mona''s fair face. He praised, "Mrs. Carter, you are so smart. It''s decided. We''ll go take a look ande back."


    In an instant, he felt that the matter that he had been struggling with for a long time had been resolved.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    When Mona saw that Maxwell''s frown hadpletely rxed, she was also happy. After being kissed by Maxwell, she smiled innocently at him.


    Then, Maxwell touched Mona''s half-dried hair and whispered, Don''t seduce me. I still have to dry your hair!"


    Hearing this, Mona''s face instantly turned red. She asked, "Who seduced you?" She just smiled.
