Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther blushed. She did not answer his question. Instead, she asked again, “Did you just say that Terence carried me back to the Gibson’s last night?”

“That’s what I saw.” James seemed reluctant to answer her question.

No way … It was Terence who carried her home! No wonder she woke up in his bed!

In other words, after that man sent her back to the Gibson’s, he directly handed her over to Terence?

God! If that was true, she really wanted to slap Serena! Serena almost killed her!

As for that man called Arno, was he interested in seeing other people’s family fall into chaos? He actually directly handed her, who was so drunk, over to Terence?

Back to her room, Esther was wondering if she should explain to Terence what happened last night, but she was also afraid that her explanation would irritate him and let him sleep with her.

But if she didn’t explain, should she continue pretending that nothing had happened? What if he was waiting for her to give him a chance to explain?

She stopped a servant who was passing by the bedroom door.

“Mrs. Gibson, what’s the matter?” The servant asked respectfully.

Esther straightened up and asked like a madam. “Have you seen Mr. Terence?”

“Mr. Terence left early in the morning.”

“He went out? Where did he go so early?”

“I don’t know…” The maid shook her head.

“Where else can Uncle Terence go?” A smiling female voice suddenly sounded from behind. Esther turned around and saw Sarah slowly walking over from the other side of the corridor, who was dressed in beautiful and fashionable clothes.

The maid bowed to them and went downstairs.

Sarah glanced at the maid and then fixed her gaze on Esther. She smiled and asked, “Don’t you know that today is the anniversary of my former Auntie’s death? Uncle Terence must have gone out to see her in the morning. This is something that we know without guessing.”

Her former Auntie? Terence’s ex-wife? The woman in the portrait? Today was her death anniversary?

Lauren did not lie to her. Terence’s ex-wife had indeed passed away.

Sarah’s swept across Esther. “Although I have never seen my former Auntie, I heard from my mother that the reason why Uncle Terence is willing to marry you who aren’t very beautiful and doesn’t have much knowledge is that you look similar to her. So, don’t think that Uncle Terence is willing to carry you home because he loves you and is lenient with you.”

Although Sarah’s words sounded unpleasant, they conveyed some important information to Esther.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Esther not only knew that today was the anniversary of the death of Terence’s ex-wife, but she also knew why he was willing to marry her. She understood why he did not kick her out of the Gibson’s last night even though she had touched his bottom line. Instead, he carried her back to the bedroom and let her sleep in his bed.

So it was all because of his ex-wife and because today was the anniversary of her death…

A complicated feeling arose in her heart. It was hard to define whether she felt sad or lucky, for that Terence did not punish her for what happened yesterday.

Although she and Terence could be considered as an agreement marriage and they did not have emotional ties, every woman in the world wanted her husband to be loyal. They just wanted their husbands to only have them in their hearts.
