Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence suddenly remembered that in the morning, Esther stood up and picked up the milk cup that had fallen on the table, saying, “Terence, you are as despicable and shameless as me.” She was so downhearted.

Then Esther left. Terence was also angry and didn’t care about where Esther would go.

Terence thought, ‘Esther should be cooking at home at this time, but no one answered the phone. Did Esther not go home for a day or did she deliberately not answer?

If she didn’t return… Where could she go today? Proley was small and unsafe.’

The more Terence thought about it, the more worried he became. Terence suddenly stood up and said to Shaw, “Tell Lawrence to prepare for the replacement of all the PVC pipes in the Spring Garden. Also, prepare an application report for reworking as soon as possible. Let me see it tomorrow.”

“Terence, are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Like what Kilborn said, it’s such a big project. If we rework, we need a lot of money. I’m afraid the headquarters won’t agree.” Shaw said with concern.

“It is a fact that there is a problem with the pipes. If we ignore the demands of the owners, what is the difference between us and the unscrupulous profiteers who fake the PVC pipes? If the headquarters doesn’t want to ruin the sign of the Gibson Group, they should not object.” Terence said, “Don’t worry. I will take responsibility.”

Then Terence called Esther while walking out.

Terence repeated calling Esther several times, but Esther didn’t answer.

“Is uncle Terence calling auntie?” Kilborn was leaning leisurely against the guardrail on the second floor, holding a glass of water in one hand and gently tapping on the guardrail with the other.

Terence glanced at Kilborn and unconsciously asked, “Do you know where she is?”

Kilborn had been a boring person, and he liked to tease Esther, which made Terence disgusted. But at this time, Terence couldn’t help but ask Kilborn.

Perhaps Kilborn knew where Esther was, just like yesterday…

“I don’t know where she is, but I know that her phone fell into the lake yesterday.”

“What did you say?” Terence frowned.

“Didn’t auntie tell you? Her phone was knocked into the lake by a spoiled brat, and then she jumped in foolishly. If I hadn’t happened to pass by and save her, she would die.”

Hearing Kilborn’s words, Terence remembered that Esther had indeed told him last night that her phone had fallen into the lake. She went to buy a new dress because her clothes were wet in the lake.

But at that time, Terence was too angry to listen to her funny explanation.

Probably in his eyes, Esther was a scheming woman, so he would rarely believe her words.

“Uncle, is auntie lost? Do you need us to help you find her?” Kilborn deliberately asked with a concerned look.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Terence glared at Kilborn angrily and yelled, “No need!”

Terence finally knew that Kilborn was deliberately teasing him yesterday to say those words on the phone!

Why did Kilborn do this? For fun or other intentions, Terence could not figure it out!

…

Because of the rain, the sky had turned dark earlier than usual.

A coffee shop waiter wanted to ask Esther several times, sitting in the corner for a day, if she needed any help, but he didn’t dare to.

After all, a woman sat there for a day without eating, which looked abnormal. The waiter was afraid of bothering Esther.

Twenty minutes later, the waiter finally mustered up the courage to ask, “Hello, Miss. You have been sitting in our shop for a day. Do you have any trouble? Do you need our help?”

Esther raised her head in a daze and glanced outside the courtyard. Indeed, the sky had started to turn dark.

“No, thank you.”

“Do you need something to eat?”

Esther thought for a moment and said, “Please give me a plate of fried rice, any kind of it.”

Esther had been sitting here for a whole day. It was unfair to the waiter if she didn’t buy anything.

“Alright.” The waiter thought, ‘As long as she wants to eat something, it’s fine.’

Other than eating a piece of bread and a cup of milk with contraceptive pills during breakfast, Esther had not eaten anything for a day, but she did not feel hungry. Even when the waiter placed the fragrant fried rice in front of her, she was disinterested in it.

Seeing the food, Esther recalled the scene when Terence cruelly told her that there were contraceptive pills in the milk. She was heartbroken and didn’t want to eat the food.

After randomly eating a few, Esther put down her spoon, paid the bill, and left.

Just as she walked out, Esther was blocked by a woman.

Esther was startled, but when she looked carefully, she realized that it was Lila who was charming and beautiful.

“What a coincidence, Miss Esther.” Lila smiled.

“Yes, what a coincidence,” Esther replied with a smile.

“Proley is so small.” Lila glanced at the coffee shop behind Esther and said, “Are you eating here? I’m here to play with my friends. Do you want to go in and have a chat?”

“Okay.” Esther nodded.

In this place and at this time, Esther had no friends, no family, no lover, but only endless loneliness and confusion.

Playing with Lila was undoubtedly a way for Esther to relax. Even if she was a vicious woman, Esther was willing to do it.

Terence said that Esther was the same type of person as Lila. So Esther made friends with Lila.

Lila also did not expect that Esther, who had been wary of her, would agree to her invitation. After being stunned for a moment, Lila looked Esther up and down again. Sensing Esther’s sadness, Lila knew that there was a problem between Esther and Terence.

Lila’s efforts yesterday were not in vain, misleading them.

“Let’s go in together.” Lila smiled at Esther and took her arm.

Esther nodded. She looked at Lila’s beautiful face and thought since she had nowhere to go, it was good to see what tricks and purposes Lila had tonight!

Introducing Esther to Lila’s friends, Lila pulled Esther to sit on the sofa and casually asked, “By the way, why are you alone? Where is Terence?”
