Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1321

Maggie's face blushed red in an instant. She knew what he had meant, but she wasn't expecting him to be so nonchalant about it. Not knowing how to respond, she claimed to be sleepy and shut her eyes, pretending to be dead asleep.

"It will be six o'clock in one more hour..." Edgar smiled, glancing at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

"Uncle Three..." Maggie whimpered, "I have had a rigorous work out session with you all night long. I don't think I can climb a mountain today. Uncle Three, may I ask for a leave?"

Alas! Edgar thought that she was just playfully looking for trouble. He wondered if she was giving him signals by calling him in a sweet, seductive voice as she rubbed herself against his body. How could he not feel aroused?

However, Edgar didn't have the heart to disrupt this picture-perfect moment of an angel lying in his arms. At last, he had to let the girl go to sleep and let himself endure it. He had no choice but to stew in his own juice.

However, he didn't mind it at all. How could he? The woman he was in love with was sound asleep in his very arms. Edgar never thought that his happiness would be in the hands of another woman. Fortunately, that woman was where he wanted her to be. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep with Maggie in his eyes.

An hour later, his sleep was rudely interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone. The first thing he looked at was Maggie's discomforted face, so he rejected the call in a hurry. Edgar waited for Maggie to return to her peaceful state and then walked to the balcony to make a phone call.

"Edgar," William's voice came over the phone. "What are you doing?"

Edgar buried his face in his palms, expressing his frustration. Wilson might have told the senior military officer something as soon as he and Maggie left together yesterday. The fact that William called him now was an indication of his assumptions. He weighed out his options in his mind—'Hi, Uncle William, I am in Maggie's dorm...' or 'Sir, I am in bed with Maggie.' What would her father think about that?

Needless to say, Edgar had no intentions of flushing his and her careers down the drain. "Nothing. Sir, what can I do for you?"

William wanted to ask more but he thought of Wilson's warning and laid his urges to rest. "The principal called me again to ask about your opinion. He wanted to know if you would allow them to add more courses for half a month. After all, you will be on holiday and won't be coming back until the exercise on the Dragon Island starts again." He sighed and added, "In fact, I don't want you to go there. Everyone's got their eyes on you now and I am afraid that you will run away to better offers. Although I know you don't want to leave Eagle, you've made it clear that you have no clear plans as of yet."

Edgar drifted off to his thoughts before he said, "I haven't come to a decision yet." Without a conscious thought, his hand brushed over the leaves of a plant in Maggie's balcony. There were different kinds of plants in every corner of Maggie's dorm, perhaps because they were easy to maintain without too much effort. The only uncommon plant there was the orange alocasia Edgar had given her yesterday. Since she didn't have an extra vase, they found a steaming pot to put it in for the time being.

Edgar showed a faint smile involuntarily. "I know. I am not comfortable letting other people make any decisions for me. All right then, sir, I am going downstairs to buy some food. I shall talk to you later."

When the General is away, some orders can be neglected. Edgar was not in the right state of mind to make such big decisions.

Taking Wilson's words into consideration, William realized that both Maggie and Edgar were adults and they deserved to be treated as such. He could end up with opposite results if he insisted on overstepping his boundaries.

After hanging up, Edgar went back to the bedroom and glanced at Maggie's beautiful face before he put on his clothes and went downstairs. Edgar had a distinctively imposing gait which drew attention from the people around him.

In this small apartment area, most tenants saw each other frequently, either in the hallway or the elevator. As a result, he attracted a lot of attention since he was a stranger to them. Edgar's unique temperament attracted more people.

Edgar walked calmly and his glasses concealed his eyes, adding mystery to his already enigmatic appearance. He bought some fresh flour and groceries in the nearby shop. And before heading back to the dorm he picked up a crystal vase from the nearest flower shop. When he came back, Maggie was still sound asleep. After taking out the flour from the grocery bags, he mixed some of it with water. While he waited for the dough to be ready, he clipped the alocasia and then put it in the crystal vase. Feeling satisfied, he proceeded to take the rest of groceries out of the bags and put everything away neatly.

It wasn't until noon when Maggie was finally woken up by the rumbling inside her stomach. Needless to say, she was famished. She looked around in a trance and then sat up straight as she didn't see Edgar.
