Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“You…!” Anne was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Anne wanted to slap Esther to vent her anger because Anne was too angry just now, but she didn’t expect that she would become even angrier now. And she didn’t look well.

Esther saw Anne trembling from anger and suddenly felt a little sorry. It was not because she could not bear to see Anne, but because of the baby in her belly. Emotions could easily affect the health of the baby. She did not want to harm the child because of herself.

But Esther couldn’t let Anne keep looking for trouble with her as Anne had always done.

Esther gritted her teeth and deliberately said, “Anne, I warn you one last time. Don’t look for trouble with me for no reason. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Anne sneered.

“Don’t forget that I know some of your secrets. I will announce it to the public if I get angry one day.”

“Are you referring to the video you took in Randall City?” Anne smiled disapprovingly. “Sister, don’t use this to scare me. How long has it been since the phone was taken away? Did you still have the video? Show me.”

She was also deliberately provoking Esther to see if Esther had a copy of the video in her hand. This was because last time, although she snatched Esther’s phone and deleted the video, she was still afraid that Esther had a copy.

Esther was very suspicious because of her words. How did Anne know that her cell phone had been taken away? She remembered that besides Serena, only Terence knew about it.

Because she had called Serena for help when she was penniless, but Serena had called Terence. In the end, she had been taken home by Terence.

It was impossible for Serena to tell Anne, and it was even more impossible for Terence to tell her.

Thinking about it now, Anne could find someone to rob her to get the video. After all, there was nothing that Anne could not do.

Her mobile phone was still new, and it was a pity that it was robbed just like that…

“What? Am I right? No copy?” Seeing that Esther was silent, Anne secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally felt relaxed.

This could be considered good news for her. In the future, she wouldn’t need to worry about being threatened by Esther!

Esther’s cell phone rang. Esther came back to her senses and walked into the house. She answered the phone. “Terence, I will go down immediately.”

Esther took out her bag from the closet and put her phone into her bag. When she walked out of the bedroom, Anne was already gone.

Esther took a deep breath and felt a little angry when she thought that it was Anne who sent people to rob her.

In the car, Terence turned to look at her. “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale after going upstairs?”

Esther did not intend to hide it from Terence, and said angrily, “I just found out that the last time I was robbed downstairs at the company was not an accident. It was Anne who found someone to do it. She wanted to delete the video of her and Tyler from my mobile phone.”

Terence smiled and said, “That’s because you recorded that video. Fortunately, you were not seriously injured when you got robbed.”

That’s right. Esther thought about it. That was her fault.

If it was not because she had taken a video of Anne and Tyler, she would not have been robbed and got hurt in her head, and Terence would not have been misunderstood by Clark about their blood relationship.

“Forget it. Don’t be unhappy. If you are unhappy, the baby will be unhappy.” Terence freed a hand and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Esther took a light breath. That’s right, for the sake of the baby, she had to calm down.

“Alright, I won’t be angry anymore.” She replied to Terence.

“When are you going home?”

“In the afternoon. It’s been a long time since I had a good time with my mother.” Esther had been to Proley for so long. She did not go back to see her parents because of some matters after returning. Thinking about it, she thought that she was quite unfilial.

“I’ll pick you up at the Cusack’s home this afternoon.”

“Okay, if you are busy with work, you can ask the driver to pick me up. Don’t worry about me.” Esther said.

Terence nodded.

Seeing that Terence sent Esther back to her house, Doris was happy and excited and even thought that she had seen wrongly.

Even after Terence drove far away, she still asked uncertainly, “Is that Terence? Am I right?”

Esther smiled and said, “Mom, you are right. He is Terence, but he didn’t come in because he was about to be late for work. I hope you won’t be disappointed.”

“No, of course not.” Doris chuckled. “As long as he treats you well, everything is fine.”

“In my opinion, he is ill-bred. Even if he is about to be late for work, he should come in and greet me, right?” Betty, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV, suddenly said with ridicule.

Esther glanced at Betty and did not say a word.

Doris knew Esther’s temper, so she quickly used his elbow to poke her waist and whispered, “Hurry up and greet your grandma.”

Although Esther had already said that she would cut off all ties with Betty when Betty used a cane to punish her last time, for the sake of her mother being able to live a better life in the Cusack family, she still suppressed her unwillingness and greeted Betty, “Grandma.”

She didn’t dare to say it out loud. A large part of the reason why Terence didn’t come in to greet Betty was that he didn’t like Betty. And Terence had always been a person who did things in his way. He definitely wouldn’t tolerate Betty hurting his wife just because Betty was an elder.

Betty only coldly snorted: “If you don’t want me to be your grandmother, don’t force yourself. Anyway, I don’t care.”

Doris explained, “Mom, Esther didn’t mean that.”

“She knows clearly in her heart whether or not I mean it.”

Esther didn’t want to quarrel with her. Esther held Doris’s arm and said, “Mom, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let’s talk upstairs.”

“Alright.” Doris nodded and they walked upstairs together.

Esther asked, “How has my dad been recently?”

“All the same.” Doris shook her head helplessly. “The doctor said that it was almost impossible for him to wake up. Your grandmother said that there was no point in treating him. She insisted on giving up on treatment.”

“We can’t give up on treatment!” Esther said instantly, “The doctor said that it was almost impossible for him to wake up, but he didn’t say that it was totally impossible.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Yes, that’s what I told your grandmother.”

Esther thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, “If they don’t afford the treatment fee, you can tell them directly that they don’t have to pay. I will find a way to pay for my father’s treatment.”
