Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1322

Staring at Maggie with great affection, Edgar looked serious and thoughtful. Like Maggie, at times, he also wondered how long their love would last and if they could love each other this much for the rest of their lives... But the age gap was too big between them. Every time when she thought of their striking age gap, Maggie was always overwhelmed by a strong feeling of insecurity, so was Edgar.

Without responding to her in so many words, Edgar merely heaved a gentle sigh and gestured her to continue with the noodles that had just been prepared. After their meal, they went to wash the bowls together as if they were a couple. As William had judged, Edgar was a competent and reliable man. He had shown a strong character. His competencies were not only reflected in his routine exercises and combat operations, but also shown in his diligent housework and many other aspects. While holding such a favorable impression of him, William was certain that Edgar would take good care of and spoil Maggie tremendously as long as they were together. As a father, William was content with his daughter's decision in choosing Edgar.

Although Edgar didn't reply to her earlier question, Maggie no longer fussed about it. Since Edgar had chosen to keep silent, she didn't want to question him closely, or else a quarrel might be stirred up. Besides, she was good at relieving herself from worries... To put it mildly, time goes by at its own pace, whether you are happy or not. Then, why would she have to ask for trouble? Maggie didn't want to put herself out in that way. Bluntly put, she was reluctant to face up to the realities of their situation and instead preferred to live in blissful dreams.

After clearing the table in the kitchen, Edgar opened his luggage and took out something, which he secretly put in his pocket. Then he stood on the balcony. While outside, where no one could hear, he made a furtive phone call and spoke for quite a long time.

Maggie was very curious about who the person was on the other end of the phone, but she didn't ask Edgar when she saw him coming in. Since he had made the phone call in secret, she guessed that it inevitably involved something very confidential. If it was really as she guessed, it would surely be taboo for her to question him. And Edgar would absolutely not tell her even if she asked. Considering all of these, Maggie thought it was better for her not to ask him, or else she would put herself in an embarrassing situation.

"I am going out now... but I will be back soon!" Speaking casually, Edgar headed towards the door where he changed his shoes and prepared to leave.

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask him where he was going. But he shut the door before she could utter the question. Overwrought by an inexplicable anger, Maggie grumbled to herself, "Okay, that's fine. You go out if you wish to. I don't care at all. It's really none of my business. Humph!"

The previous night's intimacies between her and Edgar had worn her out. They kissed crazily, touched each other, explored each other's body and fully indulged in their love affair the whole night. But at this moment, Maggie felt a little sore and bruised all over. Now that Edgar had gone out and she was left at home alone, she suddenly felt bored and lay down on the sofa, flipping casually through the channels... Although she liked occasionally watching some entertainment programs, she felt that they were truly dull at this moment. 'Why?' Maggie yelled at herself.
