Love Is a Sweet Addiction

The only thing Esther had done was to get herself drunk, but what should she do after that?

“I can get myself drunk.” Esther thought she chose the simplest way.

Serena felt speechless and squeezed out a sentence with disdain, “Silly girl!”

Esther said, “Tell me what to do after I get drunk.”

“Then just make love with Terence. Anyway, you are drunk and out of control. When you wake up, you can just pretend to be innocent.” Serena added, “But first check your ovulation period. It would be better if you could be pregnant.”

Esther said, “Okay.”

Serena added, “Remember, no matter how rational a man is, he still likes having sex with beautiful, sexy and active women. If you want to get pregnant as soon as possible, you must throw caution to the wind.”

Esther thought, ‘Is that true? Do all men like this?’

‘Is it the reason why Terence looks down on Lila, but couldn’t help flirting with her?’

‘What if Terence wakes up and thinks that I am a flirtatious woman?” Esther asked worriedly.

Serena rolled her eyes at Esther, “Terence is your husband, okay? Besides, you are in a hurry to get pregnant. As long as you are pregnant, it doesn’t matter what he thinks.”

Esther thought, ‘That’s right. I want to get pregnant as quickly as possible, so I have no choice.’

“I got it.” Esther nodded.

Serena said, “Okay, the first thing you do next is to find a lingerie store and buy a set of sexy pajamas. Then go to a beauty salon to dress up and make yourself sexy.”

“Alright,” Esther answered.

“Go for it.”

“Thank you.”

“Not at all, dear. If you get pregnant, remember to let me be your child’s godmother.” Serena said with a smile.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Serena thought, ‘It is exciting to be the godmother of a child from the Gibson family. I am ecstatic just at the thought of it.’

…

After hanging up the phone, Esther sat by the lake for a moment to muster up the courage. Then she rose to her feet.

Esther searched the nearby mall on her phone as she walked. So she didn’t notice that a black car was slowly following behind her.

Esther found a large shopping mall and tried to write down the address. Suddenly, she was hit off balance from behind. Esther staggered forward, and the phone also flew out of her hands into the lake.

“My phone!” Esther cried out in her heart. She balanced herself, and instinctively walked over to the lake, only to find her phone sinking into the lake.

To get back her phone, Esther jumped down the lake without hesitation.

The cool water instantly overwhelmed Esther. She was frightened to realize the lake was deep. So she began to struggle, shouting for help.

Esther was knocked down by a naughty boy. At this time, the little boy and his grandmother were frightened by Esther’s behavior. The old lady knew that she could not save Esther, so she ran away with her grandson. The old lady murmured at the same time, “It’s none of our business. She jumped down by herself. It’s none of our business.”

There were many onlookers, but no one dared to save Esther. A tall figure suddenly rushed out of the black car and jumped into the water without hesitation. The man saved Esther who was struggling in the water.

Esther, who had choked on water, hugged the man tightly. She didn’t care whether the person who saved her was male or female.

With the help of the crowd, Esther and the man went ashore together. Esther collapsed like soft mud on the ground. She coughed as she patted her chest to catch her breath.

“Thank you!” Esther coughed and looked at the man in front of her.

The man said, “Not at all. You are lucky to be saved this time.” Esther was stunned by his voice, because the voice sounded familiar!

Esther looked up at the man’s face in surprise once again. When Esther realized who the man was, astonishment appeared on her pale face.

Esther thought, ‘Is he Kilborn? Or am I wrong?’

“Why did Kilborn come to Proley? Why is he here?” Esther asked.

Kilborn tidied up his wet clothes and said casually, “I am in charge of the project in Proley. As for why I am here…”

Kilborn smiled mockingly, “When I pass by, I happen to see your gloomy face. I fear that you will jump into the lake, so I stopped the car by the roadside. You jumped down as expected.”

“I don’t try to commit suicide.” Esther fiddled with her wet hair as she sat back in the chair.

Esther won’t kill herself just because of a man.

Esther didn’t even know who hit her from behind just now. She only knew that her phone had fallen into the lake. Then, she jumped down the lake to pick up her phone on impulse.

Esther couldn’t find her phone and even turned herself into a drowned rat.

“Does Auntie always treat your savior like this?” Kilborn returned to the car and took a packet of tissues and a dry towel to Esther.

Esther took them over after hesitating for a moment, “Mr. Kilborn, if you think you save my life, then Terence and I will forgive you. It’s not that easy.”

“Why do I need your forgiveness?” Kilborn asked innocently.

“Don’t play dumb.” Esther threw the towel back to Kilborn’s face. “Kilborn, you bastard! If not you, Terence would not be sent to Proley. And I won’t fall into the lake.”

Kilborn blinked and added mockingly, “If not me, Terence wouldn’t have lunch with Lila, right?”

Esther was stunned that Kilborn knew Terence’s relationship with Lila.

Seeing that Esther was silent with her eyes dropping, Kilborn added, “If not me, Terence would be sent to Africa. And you can’t sit in such a beautiful place and vent your sadness. Maybe in Africa, you will be forced to marry a black man.”

Esther asked, “What do you mean?”

Kilborn replied, “Do you think Master Gibson is easy to deal with?”

“You mean Master Gibson planned to send Terence to Africa at the beginning? Why?” Esther looked at him in surprise.
