Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence stepped into the house and did not hear the slightest movement, so he thought that Esther might have gone out. But habitually, he glanced around the house and went to the door of Esther’s bedroom to have a look.

Under the white light, Esther fell asleep soundly on the table facing the bedroom door.

Hesitating for a moment, Terence walked over. He looked at Esther and the manuscript that had been torn into pieces by her on the ground. It was the manuscript of the dress that she had designed for Lila before. He remembered that the dress had already been produced. Lila had even said that she would wear it and let Terence see.

There must be some reason for her to tear up the manuscript of the dress and threw it away.

Terence did not make any further guesses. Instead, he bent down and picked her up from the chair after gently calling her but receiving no response.

The sudden rise of her body made Esther twist uncomfortably, but she did not wake up. Instead, she leaned her head on his chest and continued to sleep.

Terence paused for a moment until watching Esther fall asleep again. He then placed her on the bed and pulled the quilt for her carefully.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Esther suddenly grabbed his large palm that was leaving the blanket and pulled it into her embrace.

Terence was startled by her sudden action. He thought that she had woken up but her eyes were still closed, and there was a sad expression on her pure little face. She muttered, “Can you not be with her…”

It was a simple sentence, but it contained an ambiguous meaning.

Terence’s eyebrows lowered, and his gaze was not as gentle as before but added a hint of fierceness.

‘Don’t be with her … Who exactly is she talking about?’

Is it Anne, or … Lila?

Although he had never thought that Esther had him in her heart, Esther had gone to see Lila today after all.

He expected that she would continue to say something, but after waiting for a long time, she fell back asleep.

Terence didn’t want to guess other people’s thoughts like a resentful woman. He pulled his big palm back from her arms, got up, and left without looking back.

The next morning, Esther was woken up by hunger.

When she got up, she found that she was lying on the bed, but she remembered that she was sitting on a chair and drawing, then she fell asleep as she drew. How could she come to the bed? Could it be that Terence carried her to the bed?

There was no one else other than Terence in this room, and it seemed that it would only be him.

A trace of bitterness flashed through her heart. Anyhow, she and Terence were now husband and wife, a family. Moreover, they were squeezed by the Gibson family in the same way. She felt that she should cherish this hard-won peaceful life.

She didn’t want to be stirred up. So, she decided to think less and get through the time in Proley first.

She took a light breath and got out of bed. She walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and began to make breakfast.

She did not eat lunch or dinner yesterday due to her bad mood. Now she felt extremely hungry. After cooking breakfast, she began to eat first.

Terence was still sleeping after Esther had breakfast. She decided to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some fresh food first, and so she went.

By the time she brought some goods and returned home, Terence had already gone out to work.

She went into the kitchen to take a look and found that Terence did not eat breakfast, nor the medicine she had placed on the table.

‘He went out without taking medicine?’

Esther picked up the pill and looked at it, then she took out her phone and called Terence.

The phone was always on the line, and she didn’t know who he was talking to.

More than an hour later, Esther called him again. It was finally answered. Terence’s calm voice came through, “What’s the matter?”

Esther asked, “I saw that you didn’t eat breakfast? And you didn’t take medicine either?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Terence replied, “I had something urgent to in this morning, so I forgot.”

“You can forget breakfast, but you can’t forget the medicine.”

“It doesn’t matter. It will be the same when I go back and eat at night.” Terence said, “That’s all for now. I’m in a meeting right now.”

“Hey…” Without waiting for Esther to finish speaking, he was already hung up.

It seemed that Terence was indeed quite busy today, but Dr. Ross said that he had to eat the medicine twice a day on time. What if he got sick because of that?

Thinking about it, Esther decided to bring the medicine to him by herself.

She took out a sandwich and a bottle of yogurt she had just bought, put them in a small bag together with the medicine, and then left.

Spring River Estate’s temporary office was located in its sales department. The buildings had been on sale for more than a year, but because some owners came to make trouble every two or three days, the buildings were not sold well, and the sales department was always restless.

It was the first time Esther went to Terence’s office. When she got out of the taxi, she saw a crowd of men and women protesting loudly at the entrance of the sales department.

She had asked Terence about it, and he said that it was the quality problem of the house and issues with the former owner of the house during the previous land acquisition. It seemed that the troublemakers are at it again today.

She saw from afar that Lawrence was explaining something to the owners while wiping his sweat. Even though his attitude was very good, the owners did not appreciate it at all. They pushed and scolded him, “Didn’t you agree to give us an explanation in a month? It’s been so long now. What’s the problem with you guys?”

“Call out the person in charge of your main company. If you don’t come out, we will break in!”

“That’s right. I heard that Mr. Terence from the main company is here. Call him out to explain to us immediately!”

“We want to see someone who can really talk!”

“…”

Everyone roared one after another, and even the security guards on the side could not stop them.

Seeing that, Esther did not dare to rush over. She was just about to call Miss Young and ask her to arrange for someone to fetch the medicine and breakfast. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed owner recognized her and shouted, “Everyone, look! Isn’t she Mrs. Gibson?”

“Yes, it’s her!” Another person echoed.

In their current situation, they naturally paid extra attention to everyone in the Gibson family. The Gibson’s wedding two weeks ago had almost caused a sensation throughout the country, so they naturally saw it through the television or the internet.

Therefore, it was not strange that someone recognized Esther. Yet Esther, who was not far away, was stunned on the spot. She did not expect that they could recognize her as Mrs. Gibson!

When a group of people rushed over to surround and suppress her, as a woman who had never experienced such things, she just froze in place and barely freed up one hand to block those palms that were intentionally or deliberately touching her body.
