Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1383

Maggie could never have imagined that three days could bring such suffering, and not since her childhood had she experienced such angst. However, this was more than a mere torment for her. Even compared to when she was abducted, this waiting was agony. Every second, every moment, she desperately hoped that everything that was happening now was only an illusion. Or to phrase it differently, it was like a special drill for the special trainees-designed to inflict pain.

Nevertheless, she was so familiar with Tompson that she knew he would only have told the truth. She had never realized before how much she trusted him. To her surprise, Edgar fell into the trap set by Cain.

The sudden sound of a beautiful ringtone attracted Maggie's attention and she stared at the cell phone lying on the tea table. It was Cain. Seeing his name on the screen, Maggie couldn't help recalling his handsome face which had so effectively made everyone fall in love with him.

"Maggie… Maggie..." Hearing her phone ringing, Hana frowned and reminded Maggie to answer the phone. "Your phone is ringing. Well, you're sitting right there. Why don't you answer it?" She looked in concern at Maggie, who was still just sitting there doing nothing.

"What?" Maggie glimpsed at Hana with some confusion and then seemed to wake up. "Yeah!" She grabbed the phone, acting like a naughty child who was afraid that her secret would be exposed. Hurriedly she picked up the phone, but it had already stopped ringing, leaving two messages indicating the missed calls.

After unlocking her phone, Maggie was confronted by all the messages from Cain, so she drew a deep breath and scraped the courage together to call him back.

"What are you doing? Why don't you answer my phone calls?" Cain's soft and sexy voice was coached to sound exceedingly cozy and engaging over the phone.

However, Maggie didn't feel attracted to him at all in this moment, and she sensed a chill undertone to his voice. "I was wondering how many times you would keep trying if I did not answer?" she said teasingly to cover her discomfort.

On the other end of the line, Cain smiled mysteriously and asked, "And then?"

"Then I realized that we were not in a relationship like that, so I called back." Maggie's voice had calmed down. "Cain, did you find our interactions weird recently?"

"I don't think so,"

he answered. Maggie quietly sneered but she didn't make her qualms sound too obvious. "We hadn't related well to each other in the beginning, but now we are acting so close. What do you intend to do?"

"What do you think?" Without replying to the question, Cain immediately deflected it back at her.

"Are you falling in love with me?" Maggie asked bluntly. She continued full of confidence, "Just admit it. If it was not so, then why were you trying so hard to gain my attention from the very beginning? And now you keep bothering me all the time?"

Cain's eyes became vague and unpredictable. After a few seconds, he continued slowly, "You are still getting lost in the same question?"

Maggie curled her lips into a growl, and vented her frustration and embarrassment with a sneer. "Then, why are you calling me?"

"I'm going to return to the campus in a few days, so I want to buy something special for my parents." Cain invited Maggie quite naturally. "You will accompany me, right?"
