Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1317 Extra Story 72 Of Edgar The Change In The Relationship

"I was so upset during the long and lonely night. Could you please stay with me?" While speaking, Edgar parked his car on the side of the road, and then he glanced at Maggie. The way he looked at her reminded Maggie of a hungry wolf that had suppressed its hunger for a long time. His eyes were full of lustful craving.

Maggie had always been a girl with bold ideas. However, when the time came to turn those ideas into practice, she would get cold feet and lose her nerve. This was one of those moments. When Maggie saw the burning desire in Edgar's eyes, she got so nervous that she couldn't help but swallow the lump that had gathered in her throat and instinctively back away from him. However, she didn't get far because soon she bumped up against the door of the car.

"Ha ha ha." Maggie laughed awkwardly pretending to joke in an attempt to relieve her tension. "Well, since you've undergone various psychological tests and training, I believe you will be able to get through this on your own. Well..." While she spoke to distract him, her hands scrambled around for the car door when she noticed Edgar getting closer to her. "I'm going back inside. Good-bye, Captain."

"Clunk, clunk, clunk..." Maggie tugged at the car door handle, but it wouldn't open. Confused, she looked at Edgar and saw that he was sitting straight in the seat again. With a serious expression, he said, "The Child Safety Lock has been activated. You can't unlock from your seat." After that, he started the car up again and drove into the underground parking lot. "I am running short on cash, and all of the bank checks from my account have bounced to Acid."

Maggie fell silent for a moment while Edgar drove, and then she continued, "You know, regular staff like me have very little disposable income. Our profession forbids us from having extra tips. Even with great effort, I have been barely able to save anything from my salary all these years. The next pay-check will be at the end of the month. I still have to wait for two more weeks. Besides, I'm still on my vacation, so I have no reason to come back to be a freeloader."

Edgar had parked the car and turned off the engine. He looked at Maggie and made a suggestion. "How about this? Why don't you take care of me for the rest of the month until I get my pay-check? I'm not very high-maintenance. I can survive on one meal per day. If necessary, just one meal every two days is also okay. In return..." He pretended to put on a serious expression as he looked at Maggie and then said, "I'll promise to marry you."

"Huh?" Maggie was so shocked by his words that she didn't know what to make of his abrupt proposal. She stared at Edgar with trembling lips. "That's impossible. What makes you think I can support you? I can barely support myself. I'm sorry, but agreeing to marry me is not going to be enough."

"Then what do you want?" Edgar asked with caution.

Maggie considered it seriously for a second, and then raised her chin to respond to his question. "It's simple. Serve me until I'm satisfied!"

Edgar didn't respond to her at once. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her skeptically. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!" Maggie replied with determination. With that, Maggie implied that he would have to do things like massaging her back, serving her tea, escorting her to places and so on. However, her request had been misinterpreted by Edgar. He assumed that she had meant it in a sexual way. Edgar immediately become aroused by what she said, and he added, "My queen, would you like your man to serve you until you're satisfied?"

Edgar's desire for Maggie had just doubled, and he could feel the fire burning for her in the pit of his stomach and he felt a stirring in his loins at the thought of it. One could not blame him for feeling this way as it was due to the natural difference of mindsets between men and women. Sometimes women didn't mean it when they expressed themselves, but men often interpreted it as a type of sexual invitation. Naturally, if the male and female were in a romantic relationship with each other, the man would definitely tend to take it the wrong way.

Although Edgar was eager to make a move on her, he had an extraordinary sense of self-discipline. As a result, he no longer stared at Maggie with the same burning passion in his eyes. He undid Maggie's seat belt and then opened the door for her. "You may now leave the car, my queen."

Maggie was pleased by his gentlemanly gesture and she got out of the car holding the orange alocasia in her hand. As for what it was that made Maggie feel so special, whether it was his gesture of opening the door for her or uttering the words "My Queen," as long as she was with Edgar, Maggie would always feel happy and fulfilled.

"Uncle Three..."

"Yeah?" Edgar answered spontaneously without a second thought.

"Uncle Three" was the nickname that Maggie gave to Edgar, and she called it out without awareness due to her excitement. However, Edgar had become accustomed to it which was a name that only Maggie called him by. When an intelligent girl was in love, it could turn her into a babbling idiot. Maggie wasn't aware of that until Benjamin and Monica had pointed it out to her.

Once they got into the elevator of Maggie's apartment building, Edgar pushed the button to her floor. When the elevator arrived at the level, Edgar proceeded to her apartment door without asking Maggie for the key to unlock it. With the sound of a "click", Maggie was astounded to find that Edgar had broken into her house within mere seconds.

"How did you get in?" Edgar had been a scout, and Maggie was an average person, so it was easy for him to figure out where she lived. However, she wondered how he managed to unlock her door.

Edgar raised his hands to her, and there in his fingers was a straightened paper clip.

"You broke into my apartment with a paper clip?" Maggie stood gaping in shock and she couldn't believe her eyes. He used it as if it was a key and opened the door within seconds.

Edgar put the clip back in his pocket and found a pair of slippers to put on, making himself at home. They were men's slippers, possibly Benjamin's, which made Edgar feel uncomfortable. After all, even though he was just a close friend of Maggie's, he was still a man. Nevertheless, this trivial thing didn't matter at this moment, and he chose to let it go.

"I can unpick locks that are more complicated than this one within seconds," Edgar boasted. He walked into the apartment, confidently as if it were his own.

While putting on her slippers, Maggie murmured, "How isn't it a big deal? Why don't you mention how much money the army had invested in cultivating a talent like you?" She curled her lips and entered the room, feeling a little upset by what he did.

"I haven't had anything to eat since I was busy listening to their conversation. Do you have anything to eat?" As Edgar asked Maggie, he went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. However, there were only some stale instant noodles in the fridge that had already gone rancid. He couldn't help frowning at the foul smell before he turned to Maggie and said, "So you either eat nothing or eat this stuff?"
