"My thing?" Edgar asked in a very low voice. Maggie could almost taste the alcohol which stained his lips; it made her heart speed up spontaneously.
Maggie couldn't help blushing. She didn't know how to face this situation of being so overpowered. Although she obviously knew that the men in the army were all desperate for sex, as they didn't have many chances for that, she was still surprised to discover that Edgar was one of them.
"You rogue!" pouting her lips, Maggie scolded gently. "Let me go! You should go take a shower. You reek of alcohol!"
Edgar sighed helplessly. He moved away from her, without saying anything. He then looked at her with a gloomy expression. Noticing that Maggie didn't plan to say anything, he had no choice but to move through to the bathroom for a cold shower to cool himself down. Tonight was their newlywed night, so Edgar didn't plan to have sex with her in such a rushed way.
However, when he walked out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower, he noticed that Maggie had left the house. He called her, yet it was Hana who answered the phone.
"Edgar, have you guys got back home yet?" Hana asked.
"Yes, we are back," Edgar replied in a very natural tone. Before he could ask anything, the mother complained over the line, "That silly Maggie, she always forgets stuff. She left her phone here again. I will ask Max to give her the phone tomorrow."
"Thanks Hana. I just called to check whether she had left her phone at home," Edgar lied, hiding the intention for the call from her. "Good to hear that her phone isn't lost." After chatting with Hana for a few seconds, he hung up. Edgar then went out onto the balcony. He stood there and looked up at the sky. There were no stars but a crescent moon hanging in the sky. He suddenly felt so upset, thinking that his wife had gone to visit another man on their wedding night.
What a poor man...
With a heavy heart, Maggie left her house and drove all the way to Seductive Bar. She felt strange that Tompson would have left her a note, and she felt even stranger when she saw the address on the note. She thought it was quite weird to meet him at such a place.
