Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1295

Maggie raised her chin determinedly and let him look at her. It was no problem if he kept looking at her for one or two minutes, but five minutes later, Edgar still stared at her, and his sharp eyes seemed to see right through her. Ultimately, she was unable to stand it and had to lower her face, while her lips trembled. She looked restlessly at him and felt confused. "Eh, Did...did I frighten you?"

Edgar sneered and then looked down, continuing to work. When he finished signing, he called Gordon to come in and handed him the papers. "Give all these to the senior military officer. Tell him that I am considering his offer and will have an answer for him by tonight."

"Yes, sir!" Gordon replied immediately and accepted the file folder. Then he saluted before turning to leave. However, as he left, he gave Maggie a meaningful look.

Maggie found Gordon's glance to be encouraging. It contained many emotions that she didn't know how to articulate, but understood, nonetheless. Moreover, she seemed to find support in his brief look. She swallowed and looked forward, drawing courage to face Edgar again.

The sound of the door closing gently brought Maggie back to her senses as she studied Edgar's movements. She saw him picking up the internal telephone, making a phone call to tell someone to do something. Even after everything was done and more than half an hour had passed, Maggie remained in her spot, as if deeply rooted to the ground.

"Okay. Let's talk about our problem." Edgar looked at Maggie seriously. "What did you say just now?"

"Sir!" Maggie responded with an aggressive stance. "I said we should talk with you about our relationship!"

"Oh?" The moment Edgar heard this he couldn't stop laughing. It was either because of her anger, or her words. "Our relationship? Do we have some sort of relationship... that we should talk about so seriously?"

"Yes, sir!" Maggie didn't look away, and she was determined to pursue Edgar. She would later determine if he indeed had moral issues or not. Furthermore, if they were in a relationship in future and he had any intention of being unfaithful, he wouldn't dare to cheat on her. Otherwise, William Du would beat him to death.

Maggie had planned for everything. For instance, because she had special feelings for Edgar, she studied hard and got herself admitted into the National Defense University after he returned to the army. Another example was, when she saw him doing something dubious with another woman in the KTV before she came to the military zone, she tried to fight her feelings but then, she couldn't resist her dream lover's allure in the end. In fact, she had ventured a guess that perhaps Claire had provoked her, so that she would be so aggressive and disregard any considerations. This had resulted in her possibly creating a bad impression with Edgar.

Edgar looked at Maggie and found that she was distracted and clearly thinking about something else. "Okay. I can give you five minutes."

"Yes!" Maggie came back to earth and glanced at Edgar, rolling her eyes. "I don't need five minutes. One minute is enough... Captain, I came here today to tell you that last night, even though it was a play, what I said was sincere. I applied to the military university because of you. I came to the military zone for you. For your sake, I qualified as a soldier. Because I want to stand next to you, as your family, not as a soldier! Over!"

A short burst of laughter escaped Edgar. She had expressed her love so abruptly that he didn't know what he should say or how to respond in accordance to his emotions. Finally he answered, "I am twelve years older than you..."

"Sir, I know it!"

Edgar added, "I have had an affair!"

"Sir, I know..." Maggie's lips trembled, and she looked at him, saying, "You can correct your mistakes… Get a fresh start, with me…"

Edgar nodded. "Hmm, that's right..." He remembered something all of a sudden and was seemingly lost in thought, his head slanting to the right. Then he stared at Maggie and asked, "What if I can't change this habit of mine?"
