Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence spent a shorter time taking a shower than usual. He dried his hair and walked out of the bathroom. Esther was lying on the bed scrolling through her phone. He walked over and directly took the phone from her hand. “Stop checking your phone, sleep now.”

“Do you know what I am checking?”

“What else can you check? It’s nothing more than those boring rumors online.” He could guess from her furrowed brows.

“Do you have a clairvoyant vision?”

“No, I am just a little smarter than you.” Terence raised his hand and turned off the light. The room was in darkness. He approached her and hugged her into his arms.

Esther’s body stiffened, and she instinctively pressed against his chest with her hands.

Terence smiled and deliberately lowered his head to kiss her lips. He touched her and said, “Are you afraid that I won’t be able to control myself?”

Esther nodded honestly. “I’m afraid that you will be the one in pain.”

“Don’t worry. I can control myself.”

Esther thought about it and it seemed to be true. When they were in Proley, they slept together for so many days, but there was not a day when he could not control himself.

“Since you are so capable, the baby and I are relieved.” Esther kissed Terence’s lips. “Good night and sleep.”

In the dim night, Terence looked at her face. She had closed her eyes. Terence smiled helplessly. Who said that his endurance was good? It was just she did not know that every time he could not control himself, he would get up and take a cold shower.

Because every time she fell asleep, she slept very well.

Esther’s bedroom was very close to James’s, and they often met.

The next morning, Anne found that Terence had stayed overnight at the main building. She was relieved because of the good relationship between Esther and Terence. And she didn’t have to worry that Esther would steal James from her. At the same time, she was also secretly jealous of Esther.

After all, Terence was also Anne’s dream lover. Although Anne knew that Terence might not be one of the Gibson family, it did not affect her feelings toward him. What annoyed her the most was that the relationship between Esther and Terence was so close that she could tell Esther was very happy. On the other hand, she and James had long lost the passion they had before they got married, and they always quarreled over some insignificant things.

However, even if Anne liked Terence, she would rather choose James. After all, he was the real blood of the Gibson family and the most important heir of the Gibson family.

Only fools would choose love instead of wealth!

James was brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She leisurely walked over and leaned against the bathroom door. “James, I didn’t know Terence and Esther love each other so much.”

James, who was brushing his teeth, paused and glanced at Anne from the mirror without saying a word.

“I heard that Esther was scared by a wild cat last night. Terence worried about her, so he moved to the main building to stay with her.” Anne continued, “I heard that he has always disliked the noise there. That is why he has been living in Parasol Tree Garden. I didn’t expect that he would give up his preferences for Esther. He is a good man..”

James washed the foam off his mouth and said, “Forget about Esther’s past, she has a good temper and personality. Terence would like her.”

Hearing his words, Anne was angry.

However, Anne managed to control her anger and looked at him with a pitiful gaze. “James, she is so good. Do you regret giving up on her?”

James glared at her. “Don’t ask me this kind of question, okay? I am already tired of answering it.”

Was he annoyed to answer it?

Yes, every time Anne asked him, he always denied impatiently. But every time he saw Esther, he looked as if he wished he could win her back from Terence again.

A bystander is always clear-minded. Did he think that Anne could not know his thoughts?

James ignored Anne. He tidied himself up and opened the door to go downstairs.

Anne bit her lips and stepped forward to hold his arm. “James.”

“Is there anything else?” James turned to look at her impatiently.

Anne imitated Esther when she sent Terence out. She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, looking at him, and softly said, “Remember to come back early tonight. Baby and I will miss you.”

Normal couples with feelings should say goodbye sweetly, she thought.

Unexpectedly, James only gently pushed her out of his arms and said calmly, “I will. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”

After saying this, he walked downstairs without looking back.

As soon as James turned to leave, Anne saw Esther walking over from the stairs. Anne suddenly looked unhappy.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It turned out that James was so indifferent to her because he saw Esther.

Although James and Esther did not say anything and did not even greet each other, Anne was still so angry that she glared at Esther. She directly walked toward Esther impatiently.

Esther stepped back and stared at her. “Anne, what are you trying to do? I didn’t even look at James.”

“Esther! You…!” Anne raised her hand and was about to slap her, but Esther grabbed her wrist.

Anne always slapped her because Anne was older than her. Why could Anne want to slap her now for no reason? Esther was angry.

After throwing her wrist away, Esther gritted her teeth and warned, “Anne, you used to slap me because Grandma said that you are my older sister. But now, please make it clear that I am your aunt. If you dare to be so disrespectful to me again, I can punish you according to our family rules.”

“Punishment? Then we have to see if you have the ability!” Anne sneered.

“You think you are important since you are pregnant?” Esther gritted her teeth and said, “Anne, there is one more thing that you better make clear. Right now, you are not the only pregnant woman, I am also pregnant. If you hurt me, you will also be in trouble. Also, let me remind you. James doesn’t have feelings for you. You will be nothing after losing the child in your belly. To protect the child in your belly, don’t get angry so easily and start a fight with me. Otherwise, you will cause a tragedy for yourself!”
