Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“The only thing I’m worried about is that you won’t come back to have dinner.” Esther stared at him and smiled, “Fortunately, you came back. Otherwise, I would be disappointed.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Terence looked up at Esther and found that he was happy to live with her like this.

Although the house was not vast, Esther would always stay at home and wait for him with a lot of delicious food.

If it wasn’t for fulfilling his mother’s dream, he didn’t want to have a relationship with the Gibson Group again.

“What’s wrong? You don’t have an appetite?” Esther saw that he was standing there without speaking anything.

Terence noticed Esther’s injured left hand and asked, “Do you feel better?”

“I feel better now. It doesn’t hurt much.”

Terence nodded, “Don’t cook by yourself tomorrow. I can afford to hire a nanny.”

“No, it’s uncomfortable to have more people at home. I won’t cook tomorrow.”

“Don’t you need to work? You don’t need to stay at home for me.” Terence knew that Esther was unwilling to give up her career and stay at home.

“I don’t want to think about that now. We can talk about it later.” Esther replied, “Terence, go and wash your hands. It’s time for dinner.”

Terence nodded and turned to wash his hands.

Esther pushed a bowl of soup to him, “Try it. If it tastes good, drink another bowl before you go to bed.”

Terence tasted it and praised, “It’s delicious.”

Noticing that Esther did not have the soup, he asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”

Hearing that, Esther took a sip of the soup and said to Terence, “Don’t worry and drink it. I didn’t poison.”

Terence went speechless.

At night, Esther stood in front of the study with a pillow in her arms. She saw Terence sitting in front of the desk. Then she asked, “Do you want to sleep in a big bed or a small one tonight?”

Terence did not even raise his head as he said, “I want to sleep in the big one.”

“Okay.”

“With you,” Terence added.

“What?” Esther stopped and stared at him in surprise, “What did you say? You want to sleep in a big bed with me?”

“Is it strange?” Terence asked.

“It is a bit strange,” Esther answered.

“Who said that? We’re a couple. It’s normal to sleep together.”

After thinking for a while, Esther said, “You are right. It’s normal.”

“Then it’s settled.” Terence continued to work and said, “You can go to bed first. You don’t need to wait for me. Then it will be easier for you to fall asleep.”

Esther was speechless. She felt weird and asked, “shouldn’t I be the one saying this to you? I slept well last night.”

Esther felt that it was possibly not good for them to sleep together. It would affect the quality of their sleep! And it was worse for Terence. He had to go to work tomorrow. As for her, she could sleep in the daytime.

Esther went to bed first, but Terence came over before she could fall asleep.

When Terence stood in front of the master room, the broken door reminded him of something.

The door was broken by Esther the night before yesterday. And it seemed that the door needed repairs as soon as possible.

“I called the property manager today. They will send someone to help us repair it tomorrow.” Esther said and complained, “The door’s quality is bad. I haven’t smashed it much.”

“Haven’t you smashed it much?” Terence glanced at the door and said, “I’ve never seen a woman stronger than you.”

Miss Young was right. Esther was a strong woman.

However, Esther did not want to be such a strong woman in Terence’s view. She said in a low voice, “Can you change the word? I look soft.”

“Look soft?” Terence repeated her words. It was ridiculous for a soft woman to behave like this. At that time, he was sick. And if Esther were a gentlewoman, she should have run away in a hurry.

A soft woman must be scared of what had happened at that time and run away as fast as she could. But Esther was a brave girl. She broke the door and saved him.

“It’s better for you to be a soft woman.” Terence lifted the quilt and lay down.

Esther moved to the side and stared at him, “You like soft women? Just like Lila?”

“You don’t have to be like her, but at least you shouldn’t smash the door like a shrew.” Terence wanted Esther to know that it was dangerous to get close to him when he was sick. But Esther misunderstood. She felt disappointed with what Terence said.

She said, “Alright, I will never do it again.”

“It’s bedtime. Good night.” Terence said and turned off the lamp.

The bed was much larger than the one in the hospital. And it was enough for three.

Esther began to miss the small bed in the hospital. She missed the feeling of being squeezed together with Terence. She wanted to cuddle up with Terence every night.

Although it was a sleepless night, the feeling was not bad.

Esther tried to get closer to him. After making sure Terence was here, Esther closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Esther didn’t know whether Terence slept well or not, but she slept well.

When Esther woke up, she found she leaned on him again. Because of that, Esther blushed. It possibly was the reason why she slept well. She had regarded Terence as her doll that always accompanied her to sleep every night!

Fortunately, Terence had yet to wake up. Esther decided to move away from him.

She first moved her calf that was hanging on his body. And then she withdrew the arm that was wrapped around his waist. She was about to succeed. However, Terence grabbed her back into his arms, holding her tightly.

Esther was startled by his action. She turned to look at him and found that his eyes were still closed. He did not seem to have woken up.

She looked down at the arm that was tightly wrapped around her waist. Then she gave up moving away.

And because of that, she could tell Terence it was he that got close to her. She was innocent.

Thinking of this, Esther felt relieved and closed her eyes. After a while, she fell asleep again.
