Due to the level system, their meals were already prepared in advance by the students on duty when they had arrived. Edgar behaved very casually during the meal. After looking around the cafeteria, he finally found Maggie with his sharp eyes.
Maggie was seated a fair distance away from Edgar at a table with Benjamin and Monica. Therefore, if they didn't consciously look for Edgar, they couldn't easily notice him.
One of the teachers followed Edgar's gaze and smiled. "The trio at that table are the best students in our school. They're not only the top in studies, but they're also highly respected by the other students. By the way, I remember that Maggie is going to intern in the S Army this time." As he said that, he looked at a middle-aged man who was in charge of the student files management.
The middle-aged man nodded his head, then he turned to Edgar and asked, "Edgar, is Maggie in your class?"
"Yes, that's right," Edgar answered in a flat tone. "She is indeed an excellent student! She performed excellent both in physical training and professional training. Maggie is outstanding at least among the students that I have taught during these recent years."
"She is Armand's favorite student." The middle-aged man looked at the older man who was about fifty years old. He wore a medal of honor on his shoulder and laughed merrily when he heard the words of the middle-aged man. "Armand always says that Maggie is a precious talent. Edgar, you've been teaching Maggie for more than half a year. You should find some time to have a good chat with her."
Edgar politely nodded at the middle-aged man with a smile and then turned to nod at Armand. After a few moments in silence, the topic had suddenly changed by several female teachers and instructors sitting at the next table.
Edgar seemed to be enjoying his meal with the teachers, but what was troubling him was Maggie. He stole a glance at Maggie and happened to see that she also turned around to look at him. In the past, she was very easy-going. However, since they had been married, Maggie had suddenly become an unreasonable woman toward him.
He was very insightful and he could read people like a picture book due to his wealth of experience. Therefore, he was sure that Maggie was thinking of a way to get even with him. He didn't reply to the text message that Maggie had sent him before the class. She thought that Edgar would find an opportunity to reply to her at least during lunch. However, he didn't. He was even talking and laughing with the female teachers at the moment. It seemed that he was enjoying their company very much.
"Maggie, you have to understand that it's important to distinguish your private life from your work," Benjamin said while taking a bite of the tomato. "No matter how it came about, Edgar is our teacher now. You still have to save face for him."
Maggie wore an angry frown while eating the noodles one bite after another and didn't say anything. Noodles were Maggie's favorite dish, but now they just seemed thick and tasteless in her throat. Of course, she knew that it was important to separate her private life from her public life, and she had no intention of retaliating against Edgar. Maggie just couldn't understand why Edgar would hide the truth from her that he was going to teach at her school. She had thought that they were going to be separated for a long time, and as a result, Maggie hugged him hard and nuzzled her face against his last night. The nuzzle turned into sex on the bed, then on the sofa, and even on the dining table. Now Maggie was so sore that she could hardly walk.
Monica gave Benjamin a look, then glanced at Maggie and said, "Why not come to the training ground to release your anger with us after Brutal Witch's class in the afternoon?"
