Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“If you are still worried about it, I will arrange for you to live outside and occasionally come back to the Gibson’s.” Gill said, “But I don’t suggest that. After all, if you leave like this, you are giving the house to Amanda and her family. Do you understand?”

“Yes.” Esther nodded.

Everything Gill considered was based on Terence’s future. She was the only one who wanted Terence to be good.

‘Should I agree with her?’ Esther thought. After hanging up the phone, Esther returned to the bedroom and she saw Terence leaning against the bed, looking at her.

“Why are you looking at me?” Esther placed her phone on the table and sat down next to Terence.

“I’m waiting to see how you will persuade me.” Terence raised a brow at Esther.

Esther thought for a moment and asked, “Will you listen to my advice?”

“Try it then, maybe I will.”

“Well.” Esther sat down on Terence’s legs. She held his handsome face with her hands and looked at him seriously. “If I say … I want to go back. Will you think that I am overestimating myself and foolishly going to such a dangerous place?”

“Give me a reason.”

“Because I think what Mom said makes sense. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think about the child. After all, he is also a descendant of the Gibson family. He has the same right as the child in Anne’s belly and James.” Esther paused for a moment and continued to say, “In addition, Mom said that no one would dare to touch our child with her protection. Can we just trust her for once?”

Terence pinched Esther’s chin with his fingers and said seriously, “First, you and Anne have always been in an irreconcilable situation. You will never live together peacefully. No one wants farces. Second, do you know what it means for me to go back? It means I accept the paternity test arranged by dad. Third, if you insist on going back, I will just accompany you.”

Esther was surprised. She was moved by the third reason…

Esther moved her body forward and leaned into Terence’s embrace. She hugged his body and said in a choked voice, “Terence, I’m not as bad as you think. It’s even more impossible for me to be so bad as to attack an unborn child. Even if I hate Anne so much, I promise you that I never thought of harming her and the child in her belly, not even a single moment.”

Terence looked down at her and softly said, “I hope that you can be smarter and stronger when dealing with your enemies, but don’t discard the good intentions in your heart.”

Esther hurriedly nodded. “I understand.”

“And please protect yourself and our child well.”

“Sure.”

Terence kissed Esther’s forehead and said, “Can you get off my legs? They are about to break.”

“Okay!” Esther hurriedly stepped down, then used her hand to knead his legs. She smiled and said, “Let me help you relax your legs.”

…

After Gill hung up the phone, she went to Clark’s bedroom. Clark just got up. She walked over and helped him put on his clothes while smiling. “I just called Esther and yes, she was indeed pregnant.”

Clark was stunned for a moment, and then he softly hummed, his face not showing many surprises.

‘Don’t you always hope for that? Why are you not happy at all?” Gill looked at Clark and asked despite knowing the answer.

As expected, Clark sneered, “If Terence is not a child of me? It won’t make any sense even if she gives birth to ten children.”

“I know that you have been worrying about this issue all this time, and … aren’t you thinking of a way to fix it?”

“Do you have any ideas?”

Gill nodded and said, “Since Esther is pregnant, you can take the opportunity to call Terence back to City R. Even if he refuses to do a paternity test with you after he comes back, we can still do it with the child. Then you will get the truth immediately.”

Hearing Gill’s words, Clark was stunned again. He did not expect her to have such an idea.

However … this was indeed one way!Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The matter of whether he and Terence were related by blood should be solved soon. After all, the company needed manpower now.

If they were, Clark would arrange for Terence to join the head company again. If not … then he should cut off all ties with Terence as soon as possible and never contact him.

“Clark, what do you think of this method?” Gill asked.

Clark thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s good.”

“Then I will call them to come back.” Gill was secretly delighted.

However, she saw that Clark was silent. So she asked cautiously, “Do you have any other concerns?”

Clark snorted coldly. “I just had a squabble with him. If I let him come back like this, wouldn’t I be too disrespectful? If he is my son, it would be best. If not … I will immediately kick him out of our family!”

Gill smiled and comforted Clark softly. “Didn’t you always say that men have to be a little manly to be able to manage the company? Or do you hope Terence to be indecisive and obsequious? In my opinion, Terence is completely another you, Clark.”

Clark snorted again with his face full of disapproval.

After comforting Clark, Gill sighed in relief and returned to her bedroom.

After Lauren closed the door, she stared at Gill and said carefully, “Mrs. Gibson, I have to say something. Aren’t you worried that Mr. Terence is not Master Gibson?”

Gill’s eyes were slightly cold as she stared at Lauren.

Lauren quickly added, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Gibson. I was just saying it casually. After all, in case there will be an unforeseen circumstance. After all … back then, Ann did have a good time with Tyler. Otherwise, Mr. Terence would not be so against doing the paternity test. Am I right, Mrs. Gibson?”

Gill glanced at her indifferently. “Don’t guess blindly.”

“Yes, I was wrong.” Lauren quickly shut her mouth.

However, Gill felt slightly uneasy because of Lauren’s words.

It seemed that Gill had never doubted Terence’s blood, and was just blindly thinking about how to get him back. She never thought about any accidents…
