Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 323 Ten Years

They hadn't been driving long when Meryl sensed something was off with Chandler because he hadn't said anything since they'd set off.

She glanced over at him several times, wanting to ask what was wrong, but she decided against it each time.

Outside, the scenery blurred past the windows. After another ten minutes, Chandler suddenly pulled over at the entrance of a quiet alley. He had been holding back for the entire drive but couldn't keep it in any longer. Chandler pulled Meryl over from the passenger seat, reclining the chair to make space for them.

Now, with her seated on his lap, Chandler held the back of Meryl's head and pressed her against the steering wheel, kissing her fiercely. It was as though he needed to reaffirm that the woman in his arms was truly his. Chandler cupped her face, his lips tenderly claiming every inch

of her skin.

The suddenness of the kiss left Meryl startled. She opened her mouth, ready to speak, but Chandler took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside, intertwining with hers.

The force and intensity of his kiss made her blush, and in the closed confines of the car, the only thing she could smell and taste was Chandler.
