Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence’s face darkened slightly as he looked at her. “How dare you say that?”

“What?”

“Didn’t I tell you not to walk out of the community when you are alone? You know that there are many problems in Spring River Estate and that those people are not easy to deal with. How dare you come here?” He reprimanded her angrily.

“How would I know that they were here?” Esther lowered her head guiltily.

She understood why Terence would blame her. If she hadn’t come here and been surrounded by them, Terence wouldn’t have appeared here and taken that blow to protect her.

What made her feel even worse was that Lila also come. Esther wondered what she was going to do next.

“Tell me what you are doing here?” Terence saw that she looked sad, and finally softened his tone a little.

After he asked this question, Esther remembered her purpose of coming here. She quickly took out the breakfast and medicine bottle from the backpack. “You forgot to take your medicine this morning. I brought you the medicine and bought some breakfast. Hurry up and eat the breakfast.”

Terence looked at the sandwich, yogurt and medicine bottle on the table and frowned. “You came here just for such a small thing?”

Esther was speechless. “This is no small thing. Ross said that you must take the medicine on time.”

“There’s no need for you to personally come here.”

“If I hadn’t come here, would you have gone back to take the medicine?” Esther asked.

Terence didn’t answer her. To be honest, he wouldn’t come back, because he didn’t think it was a big deal.

“I brought you a bottle of medicine and put it in the drawer. If you forget to take your medicine again, you don’t have to let others send it over.” Esther poured a cup of warm water for him. She then counted a few pills from the bottle and gave them to him. “Hurry up and take the medicine.”

Since she had already brought the medicine, Terence naturally could not refuse. He took the pills and the warm water from her hand and took the medicine.

“I don’t need the breakfast.” Terence raised his hand to look at the watch. “An hour later, it’s time to lunch.”

Esther nodded and put the sandwich and yogurt in her bag.

There was a sudden silence in the office. Esther originally wanted to ask him how he planned to deal with Lila, but Terence spoke first, “You go back first. I’ll ask the driver to send you.”

His words made Esther’s heart sink.

He asked her to go back first and didn’t even invite her to have lunch together.

Just now, she was still wondering what she should do if Terence wanted to have lunch with her and Lila. She didn’t expect that Terence didn’t even invite her.

“What about you?” She looked up at Terence, trying to suppress the discomfort in her heart. “Are you really going to have lunch with?”

“No matter what, she helped me. It is not much to treat her to a meal.” Terence said without the slightest hesitation. He looked very natural.

Esther was his wife. He actually wanted to have lunch with a beautiful woman who took a fancy to him in front of his wife. Didn’t he care about her feelings and thoughts? Was it unnecessary to take care of her?

Esther wanted to ask him, “Can I have lunch with you?”

However, her self-esteem did not allow her to ask that. In the end, she only nodded her head.

“Then I will go back first.” She got up from the sofa and took her bag.

She walked out of the sales center and got into the car, but Terence didn’t ask her to stay. She felt as if her heart was blocked by something. At this time, her mind was echoing the words that Lila had said to her in the coffee shop yesterday over and over again …

She really wanted to deny what Lila had said to her with a firm attitude, but Terence’s performance was too disappointing. And she could not deny Lila’s words at all.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She was startled and quickly took it out.

She thought it would be Terence. Maybe Terence suddenly realized that she was his wife and he should take her to have lunch with another woman.

However, the number on the phone screen was like a basin of cold water that was poured over her head. All the expectations in her heart disappeared.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The call was from the Gibson’s. She quickly answered the phone.

Lauren’s serious voice came from the phone. “Is there Mrs. Gibson?”

“Yes, what’s the matter, Lauren?”

“Lady Gibson wants to talk to you.” After Lauren finished speaking, Lady Gibson’s voice came from the phone. “Miss Esther, I just called Terence, but his phone was turned off. Do you know why?”

It turned out that Lady Gibson couldn’t find her son, so she asked Esther.

Esther said, “Mom, something happened in the Spring Garden just now. Terence has been dealing with it.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s just a bunch of house owners making a scene to protest.”

“Then, is there anything wrong with Terence?” When Lady Gibson heard that something had happened in Spring River Estate, her tone immediately became a little nervous.

She did not want Terence to go to Spring River Estate at all!

In order to not let Lady Gibson worry, Esther did not dare to tell her about Terence being beaten up. She only said, “Terence is fine, and the people there also left.”

It was Lila who helped them and let the people go. Just thinking about it made Esther feel a little uncomfortable…

Lady Gibson paused for a moment. She took a deep breath and said, “It seems that that place is really not good. I wondered when Terence would come back.”

Esther heard the helplessness in her tone, but she did not know how to comfort Lady Gibson, because she did not know how long Terence would stay in this place, either.

After pondering for a while, Lady Gibson asked, “What about you? How’s the thing I asked you to prepare?”

“What is it?” Esther asked.

“What do you think?” Lady Gibson sounded displeased. “It looks like you don’t take my words seriously at all.”

Esther was a little stunned for a moment. What else did Lady Gibson say when she left City R? She only remembered Lady Gibson telling her to take good care of Terence. She suddenly remembered something and her face turned red.

Lady Gibson had also told her that she should think about Terence’s future and help him gain a foothold in the Gibson Group. The premise of doing all this was to give birth to a son for Terence as soon as possible.

After all, Terence was not in good health, and he didn’t have a bunch of people supporting him like James. He had no one else to rely on except himself to fight for a foothold in the Gibson Group.

“Mom.” Esther secretly glanced at the driver. She was a little embarrassed and said, “Are you talking about getting pregnant? I remember it all, but…”

“But what?” Lady Gibson asked.

It was too embarrassing to talk about this in front of the driver. Esther had to signal the driver to let her get out of the car. After getting out of the car, she continued, “I can’t do it on my own. Terence doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to have a child.”

It was really pathetic. On one hand, Lady Gibson urged her to get pregnant and have a child with Terence. On the other hand, Terence was still in a good relationship with Lila. They even had an appointment to have lunch together today.
