Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“This is for healing your broken little hard. If I didn’t have Andrew, I would definitely keep such a hot guy for myself.”

“Thank you so, so much. You’d better keep him for yourself.”

If the Gibsons found out that she had a blind date just after getting married to Terence, she would have a hard time very soon. Besides, she would also be punished by Betty if the Cusacks knew it. What was more, after what happened with James, now she wasn’t interested in men at all, and even was scared of them.

“Come on. How could you ignore my kindness?” Serena got anxious when hearing her refusal, “Your marriage to Terence won’t last long, and you two will divorce sooner or later. So you need to get to know someone for your future’s sake.”

“Miss Serena, how could you say that to your best friend?” Esther was “annoyed” by her dear friend.

“Come on. I’m just telling the truth. You couldn’t be serious about such a marriage, could you? Even if you are serious, Mr. Terence won’t do the same thing as you. Besides, no one knows how many years he’ll be able to live. Would you like to be his widow for the rest of your life?”

Esther didn’t make a sound. To be honest, from the moment she decided to marry him, she had never thought of toying him around or merely waiting for him to die. When she was disheartened, the only thought on her mind was to leave the Cusack’s and take her revenge on that damned couple. Instead, she had never thought of her relationship with Terence in the future.

“Hey, it took me a long time to ask Andrew to find such a good guy. And I even praised you a lot in front of that guy. Most importantly, I’ve made an appointment with him. Do you want me to stand him up?” Serena was getting more and more aggrieved as she was saying. “I’ve trying to help you out, but how could you refuse my kindness so flat out? I feel hurt.”

“Please. What about introducing the guy to Linsay?”

“Linsay? She’s a good girl, but I don’t think she deserves the guy.” Serena curled her lips and said, “That guy has just returned from abroad. They say he’s hot and born rich. He has been busy finding a woman to get married to recently. Most importantly, I have sent your photo to him.”

Serena added, “Anyway, hurry and come here. Just consider the date as a chance to make a new friend and the appreciation for my elaborate preparation.”

As Serena was persuading her over and over, Esther finally agreed to keep the appointment for the sake of everyone.

As for looking for a backup, it could hardly interest her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The usual place which Serena mentioned was a quiet bar in the downtown of City R. The style and atmosphere of the bar were good, and many rich people would like to go there.

When Esther arrived, Serena was waiting for her at the entrance of the bar. She heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Esther and then said with a smile, “Darling, I’m really afraid that you wouldn’t come. In that case, Andrew will give me a hard time.”

“Have they arrived?”

“I don’t know. I’ve just got here.” Serena held her arm and said, “Come on, let’s go in.”

As soon as the two of them stepped into the lobby on the first floor of the bar, Esther’s expression changed when she saw a few guys walking out. And then she stopped unconsciously.

“What’s up?” Serena asked in confusion when seeing Esther stop walking.

“Let’s go from the other side.” Esther turned around and was going towards the elevator on the other side.

Anne, however, had seen Esther and she started to jeer at her in a sharp voice, “Well, isn’t she Terence Gibson’s wife? How could she be in the mood to have fun in a bar? Someone’s having a blast with marriage.”
