Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1372

"What if I had chosen to lie to you from the very beginning?" Cain said slightly and smirked as he gazed at Maggie with burning eyes. When she looked back at him like a deer in the headlights, he seemed to back down a bit and said, "Let's just go."

Maggie nodded nervously and swallowed. Her mind was racing and her buttock felt frozen in her seat. She found difficult to breathe in such a pokey space, with her heart tightening.

"What the hell are you doing?" Maggie asked. There was a mix of annoyance and surprise in her voice. Her wide eyes only looked at Cain as she leaned backwards, with Cain getting too close to her.

Cain chuckled as he leaned in to buckle her seat belt for her. Then he finally started the car engine and assured her, "Don't worry. I won't do anything to you this late. But I wonder if we could have some sort of fighting." He decided to tease her. "It'll be great if I win against you. But it will be really embarrassing if I lose. Not to mention..." He kept the cheesy smile on his face and he turned to the nervous-looking Maggie. "It's not my style to force people anyways. That's too lowly. Besides, I believe I am good enough, so I don't have to. You're far from a beauty anyways."

"Such bullshit!" Maggie muttered and pouted angrily, but secretly she felt relieved to hear this. She added, "I don't care if you think I am a beauty or not. Your opinion on me doesn't matter. As long as Edgar thinks I am a beauty in his eyes, it's more than enough!" Maggie wiggled her hips jauntily with a triumphant smile on her face.

Cain turned to look at Maggie, then whipped his dark eyes back to the front. His eyes only turned darker as he drove the car around the corner.

The snow was coming down even harder outside. This kind of scenery was what the elders and farmers would like to see, especially when the new year was fast approaching. As they say, "A timely snow promises an auspicious year."

Although S City wasn't as flourishing as other coastal cities, it was still considered a big city. Shops everywhere kept trying their best to lure in customers by a variety of discounts. It was very late at night but the flashing neon lights along the streets were still on. It seemed the city never slept at all.

Maggie usually would spend her time outside in holidays. She was still young, of course. She needed time to take a break and play. Without any restraint of the school rules, she would have a good time coming in and out in all kinds of entertainment places. But ever since she got married, everything felt different. She knew that as a military man, Edgar was normally out to attend an emergency. However, she still felt bored without him even though she was called by Monica and Benjamin to come with them.

"My friend has never traveled abroad," Maggie narrated as she leaned against her seat. She felt cozy with the warm air coming from the air conditioner. She added, "So it is unexpected, but good for her to spend her new year abroad." Her voice sounded distant with a tinge of helplessness.

Cain only glanced at her and turned on the CD player. The light music played from it was slow and comforting. Maggie didn't speak any more and watched the snow falling down and the neon light flying past outside the car. She was gradually losing her focus.

The journey seemed so long that Maggie had forgotten what time it was already. With the light music and the cozy air, her eyelids were getting heavier. Then she fell asleep. She was just too tired of worrying.

Upon hearing her steady breathing, Cain pulled over to the side of the road. Letting the car idle away, he adjusted the air conditioner to an even cozier temperature and lowered her seat gently. Then leaned against his own seat, watching the snowflakes fall under the neon lights. He breathed deeply, with outside all covered in snow.
