Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1270 Extra Story 25 Of Edgar In Danger

"What's the matter? What is going on?" Maggie's eyes rolled to the left and then to the right, but she didn't dare to move her face in fear of being found out by the people who were watching them secretly. Then all of a sudden, Edgar held Maggie's head in his hands and pulled her towards him. Before Maggie could react, Edgar's lips covered her mouth as she melted into his arms.

Maggie's pupils dilated and her eyes blinked involuntarily. Almost instantaneously, her brain was electrified, pumping fresh rivers of adrenaline into her veins. His kiss caused heat to engulf her body and she allowed it.

Edgar squinted his eyes to the sides and then to the back of Maggie's head and his eyes suddenly turned cold, as if hell had frozen over. His plan was to kiss Maggie so he could look for the people behind her without letting them know what his real intention was. But now he found himself completely immersed in the kiss.

The taste of Maggie's kiss reminded him of milk and honey. Finding it hard to control his desires, he allowed his tongue to go further inside her mouth and taste every part of it.

Maggie closed her eyes and allowed Edgar to do so as he pleased. She even acted back to Edger's move. His warm lips were gently, but firm. Maggie wondered if this was how everyone felt when they were kissing as she merely associated this feeling with being drunk. It felt as though she had finished a whole bottle of wine by herself and each cell of her body had been ignited. She had lost all control over herself and given Edgar full rein to plunder her mind, body and soul.

"Uh-huh..." The caress of his lips were softer than she could have imagined and she opened her mouth with a low moan.

Maggie's voice brought Edgar back to his senses. He immediately pulled apart and looked at Maggie as she gasped for air. He could feel her face flushing because of the heat, even though it was still dark at that moment. "Let's go," Edgar said calmly, pulling Maggie's hand and walking ahead.

Maggie allowed Edgar to take full control over her body. Her mind was still reeling in from what had just happened. With a shy expression on her face, she followed Edgar and walked behind him silently. In everyone else's eyes, Maggie and Edgar were just ordinary young lovers.

The people who were secretly spying on them teased each other for a while and then stopped following them. Edgar's plan worked better than he had imagined. Apparently, they actually believed that Maggie and Edgar were just lover on their vacation. After Edgar was convinced that it was safe, he slowed down, but Maggie's hands were still in his. "About what happened there, umm... it was just an accident..." Edgar said with a calm expression, feigning nonchalance.

His voice broke Maggie's trance and she raised her head to look at him. In her eyes was Edgar's face, gentle and strong. He might have not been as handsome as Brian Long, but Maggie sensed a special charm from him that only existed in army men. He gave off that aura without even realizing it. Maggie was clearly attracted to him, even though she didn't even know it yet.

"We were being followed by secret operatives and it was the only way to erase their suspicions," Edgar explained and he coughed to clear his throat. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance as he spoke to get a better look. But deep down, he never thought that he would lose himself to their kiss as well.

Edgar's face conveyed a spectrum of mixed feelings. He always thought of Maggie as a little girl, just as she would call him Uncle Three. After all, he was twelve years older than her.

Meanwhile, Edgar's impassive stance on the matter infuriated Maggie. They shared a profound moment but then was that all it was to him? An excuse to throw off their enemies? If that was the case, then she had completely misunderstood him. Clearly, the man had personal issues that needed to be resolved!!!

Maggie was so angry in her mind that she even forgot to pull her hand away from Edgar's hand. Gritting her teeth, she sneered at him contemptuously, "Captain, you really have to work on your personal skills. Even if you were just trying to throw them off, did you have to shove your tongue down my throat? Do you think that it is reasonable to take advantage of me when you are doing your work? Do you think the end justifies the means?"

Edgar furrowed his eyebrows and gave Maggie a glance. Then he turned his eyes away and replied, "You're right. I am sorry for going overboard."

"Do you think a simple apology will suffice after what you just did? If I rape you, then I apologize... Well, if that is the case, you are still the one who take advantage of me!" Maggie was too enraged to be cautious of her words. She hurled every word that came to her mind without consideration as if she had forgotten that he was her superior.

Edgar furrowed his eyebrows more tightly. While walking, he turned his head to Maggie and said, "I never thought I'd have to hear such things from a girl."

"And I, too, could never imagine that a captain could do that to his subordinate..." Maggie clenched her fists and cast a deathly glare towards Edgar.

"..." Edgar had nothing to say. His face dimmed with anger because of what happened in the course of his duty. Of course, he was not angry at Maggie, but at himself.

"Well, let's just focus on this mission and get it over with," said Maggie. In truth, even though she was angry, she did not know what else to say to him. What she could do now was to glare at Edgar and ask herself why she had wasted her time secretly loving such a person for so many years.!!

Before long, the two of them arrived at the bottom of Phoenix Mountain. They climbed the slopes as if they were ordinary young lovers out on a trek. However, after they walked for about one kilometer on the mountain road, they went into the woods, just as they had planned previously.

Fearing that Maggie was still unhappy, Edgar apologized to her before they were separated. As a peace offering, he promised that he would grant one of Maggie's wishes after this mission in compensation for what he did earlier. Without uttering a word, Maggie simply nodded to indicate her approval.

Of course, Maggie had to do that. They were not young lovers squabbling over who was right or wrong. Their aim was their mission, which was the most important thing at hand.

The plan was simple. Edgar would draw the enemy away so that Maggie could hack into their system and delete all the files about A Army. It sounded easy enough, but in reality the place was packed with interference units and all electric devices were useless here. This meant that Maggie would have to go and access the computer manually. The mission required thorough diligence and that was why Edgar chose Maggie. First of all, Maggie was a military information technology specialist. Soldiers like her dealt with highly sensitive information and needed to have the technical skills and aptitude for programming and computer languages. Secondly, Maggie had a black belt in taekwondo and was good at kickboxing, which meant that she was more than capable to deal with any hostile situations. Maggie had a very advanced device which Brian had given her. At first, she was shocked when she realized that an ordinary information organization even had devices that were far more advanced than the FBI of M Country. She witnessed the amazing functions of this device when she moved forward by just a few hundred meters.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
