Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 643 Taking Down Lydia!

Twenty minutes after hanging up, guessing Chandler would arrive soon, Meryl tiptoed downstairs to open the door.

The moment she cracked the door open, she found herself wrapped in Chandler's embrace.

Chandler was breathing heavily. Clearly, he'd sprinted all the way from his car.

Holding her tight, he murmured apologetically, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

She hadn't waited long at all.

What was usually a thirty-minute drive had taken Chandler just twenty minutes. Worried about the cold, Chandler ushered Meryl upstairs as soon as they got inside. Once in the bedroom, he pulled out a carefully wrapped sandwich from his coat. "It's late, and most places were closed. Try this. If you don't like

it, I can whip something up in the kitchen."

The sandwich was still warm, fresh off the grill.

Meryl took a bite and found it delicious.

Chandler sat on the edge of the bed, watching as she took one bite after another.

"Has the baby been behaving?" His gaze fell to her belly, which had begun showing more prominently in recent weeks. Being naturally slim and with the cooler weather requiring jackets when out, her pregnancy wasn't apparent to others yet. But now, wearing only a thin nightgown, her baby bump was clearly visible.

Chandler pressed his ear against her belly.

"I read that in late pregnancy when the baby gets active, it can cause pubic bone discomfort and keep you up all night," he said. Chandler listened intently.

As if sensing attention, the baby created a small bump in her belly.

"Is that... the baby moving?" Chandler's hand gently touched Meryl's stomach as he pressed against it, warning in a low voice, "Behave yourself in there. Don't give my wife a hard time." Meryl couldn't help but smile.

No sooner had she finished her sandwich than Chandler, like a magician, produced a bottle of milk from somewhere.

He warmed it up, stuck a straw in, and held it to her lips.

Meryl took a sip. The temperature was perfect.
