Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1350

Maggie felt she was choking on her own saliva all of a sudden. She could not believe what she had just heard, so she fixed her eyes on Edgar, silently asking for his confirmation. Seeing his affirmative nod, Maggie screamed in astonishment, "That's impossible!"

"Hmm," Edgar said as Maggie pulled his arm in protest. "It is impossible for ordinary people, but for members of the Long Family, there is a high possibility." A smile toyed on his lips. Seeing that Maggie looked defeated, he tried to console her by saying, "You will understand what I mean when you meet Addison tomorrow. It is really difficult to comprehend how the brain of any member of the Long Family works."

Hearing this, Maggie could not help but roll her eyes. "Uncle Three, were you trying to console me?" she asked primly.

With a nod, Edgar answered, "Yes. Aren't you feeling better?"

Maggie was speechless, but in her heart, she was roaring silently, 'Do you always console someone by saying things like that? It could only make me feel worse. In fact, you were adding salt to my wound.' Faking a smile, she gritted her teeth while gazing at Edgar. "Uncle Three, you succeed only in frustrating me!" she uttered every word from between her teeth.

Then she strode into the house angrily. Seeing that she was pissed off, Edgar felt oddly happy instead of any other negative emotions. A smile spilled over to his eyes, setting them aglitter. Just as Molly had said, when a man and a women who loved each other were together, sharing either one's anger, sorrow, and joy would only serve to make the other one feel happy.

Edgar lowered his eyes pensively. He thought that Brian had succeeded in changing a once timid girl, from years ago, into a romance expert now. A faint smile played in his eyes at the thought, but at the same time, he felt helpless when considering the dark past.

Molly had undergone so many hardships before she finally had a happy ending with Brian. She deserved every beautiful thing she had now. Meanwhile, after being a single bachelor for so many years, Edgar had welcomed Maggie into his life. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel grateful to God for his chance at happiness.

The smile on Edgar's face stretched in contentment. Following Maggie, he walked into the house too. To his surprise, Maggie was no longer angry at all. Standing in front of the laden dining table, she was looking with shining eyes at the extensive arrangement of food all over it. She looked as greedy as a cat and seemed about to drool soon. Edgar also looked at the dining table, on which there was a variety of delicate desserts and pastries. With the ghost of a smile on his lips and his arms crossed across his chest, he casually leaned against a nearby marble pillar. In a leisurely tone, he remarked, "Molly thought that maybe you felt too embarrassed to enjoy the dinner, so she took the liberty to ask me about your taste. I guess she had somebody prepare the food."

Hearing that, Maggie turned to look at Edgar with wide open eyes filled with flattery and approval. "Uncle Three, Molly is a really kind person. Why didn't you try harder to win her back from Brian?" she asked innocently in a tone as if she felt sorry for Edgar's loss. Without waiting for a reply, she seated herself at the table, intending to stuff herself like a glutton with the delicacies.

Hearing her odd question, Edgar didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Maggie had only yesterday viewed Molly as her imaginary love rival, but now she felt sorry that he hadn't succeeded in winning her heart.

"If I succeeded in pursuing her, I would never have had you in my life. That would have been an even greater loss for me," he smoothly said, taking a seat opposite Maggie. Seeing that she seemed moved by his words and was staring at him with watery eyes, he sighed slightly and continued, "Everybody has their own course through life. According to my life course, I was destined to meet you and be with you."

"Wow!" Maggie could not help but sigh, as she was emotionally overcome by his words. She had thought that Edgar was not the type of man who would say such honeyed words to his lover. As a result, she was quite moved by his sudden confession. She felt more than satisfied to be the object of his affection. "Uncle Three, please do say these words to me as often as possible in future."
