Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1343

"Do I need to do such a thing?" Edgar again answered her question with a question, knowing full well how much this would infuriate her.

Maggie became silent again as she digested his words with her clever mind for a few seconds. Then, she said in a sudden fury, "Who says you don't need to care about such a thing? Listen, I...I…" She tried her best to search her mind to see if she could enumerate some rivals for his affection so as to alert Edgar. However, in the end, she could only recall her memories of being in love with Edgar since her youth, making it impossible for her to have had any other lovers in the past. And it was true that Edgar was the only one that she ever fell in love with. Therefore it was simply impossible for Edgar to be jealous of anyone else since he did not have a rival in love.

'How come our conversation stops at this point? Why didn't I reach my goal since I started a topic like this? Fine, I'm not going to talk with him about such a topic anymore!' thought Maggie as her heart and mind raced.

Since she realized that she was losing face during this conversation, she then sat upright in her seat and looked out of the window, instead of leaning toward Edgar as she had when speaking. The plane, at this moment, glided through the clouds, nimble as a bird in the sky. It was afternoon, and the sun was basking her body in a golden glow through the glass of the small cabin windows. She luxuriated in the warm feeling and felt as if she could touch the sun without any effort then. However, even at the sight of such a beautiful scene, Maggie still could not let go of the unhappy and unresolved conversation a moment ago. Anger made its way onto her face again.

On the other hand, as Edgar stole a glance at Maggie's angry looking face, he could not help but have a feeling of happiness fill his heart and a smile spread to curve his full lips. In his heart, he thought it made sense that she had asked such questions. Thus, given what he knew of her, he thought that Maggie cared so much about him which was why she had asked a question like that. He just couldn't be happier knowing of her affections for him.

"Edgar?"

"Yes?" He looked at Maggie as she turned suddenly, and waited for her next words with the smile still expressed in his eyes.

She puckered her lips as if she was trying to hold it in. With a quick pause, she finally asked again, "What if… Assume for a moment that Molly and I fell from a plane at the same time. Who would you chose to save first?"

As Maggie finished her question and waited for his answer with baited breath. Edgar thought carefully for a while, then asked, "Are there any parachutes on the plane?"

She nodded her head instinctively. "Well, yes. I guess."
