Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 171

Oh? Well, I'd never thought about that.

The answer was probably a no. After all, I had rarely kissed anyone in my life. Even with Chris, the man I was in love with, I only ever stole some kisses while he was sick or drunkenly asleep. Regardless, those were simply on his cheeks or the back of his hands.

Yet, the kiss Brandon and I shared earlier was on the lips, which rarely happened with Chris.

Chris had only kissed me on the cheeks and forehead but never on the lips. He even once said, "We've known each other for too long. Maddie. I can't kiss you on the lips."

In truth, he simply did not love me. Some said that when a couple kissed, their tongues intertwined, which released dopamine. It was supposedly irresistible. Hence, if one could resist the other, there simply was no love.

"I don't care about the what-ifs," I replied to Brandon.

He tightened his jaw, and his Adam's apple was bobbing. "But I want to know." His gaze conveyed an unwavering determination. I felt pressured.
