Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“I have tried to persuade him. But Terence said that he had his plans.” Esther looked innocent.

“What plans does he have? He plans to stay here forever!”

“I don’t know either. Terence has been unwilling to talk to me about this.” She didn’t know why Terence was unwilling to talk to her. Did he treat her as an unrelated person? Or was there some other reason?

Mrs. Gibson sighed and nodded again, “I know Terence’s personality. He always likes to do everything on his own.”

Esther kept silent, and Mrs. Gibson continued, “But as his wife, you still have to work hard and help him. He is too proud and soft-hearted. He always felt that things had room for negotiation, so he was not in a hurry. But as you can see, Amanda relies on the fact that her son is the grandson of the Gibson family, and her daughter-in-law is pregnant with the little great-grandchild of the Gibson family. She is very cocky now and does not even care about me.”

Esther still kept silent, but she knew everything that Mrs. Gibson had said. She could understand.

“She doesn’t pay any more attention to me, let alone Terence and you. Terence won’t have status in the Gibson family if he doesn’t take action.”

“Mom, I understand what you said. Just tell me what you want me to do.” Esther finally said.

“What else can I hope you can do?” Mrs. Gibson looked down at her flat belly. “Are there still no signs of pregnancy?”

Hearing this, Esther’s face immediately expressed embarrassment. She shook her head.

“Why?” Mrs. Gibson asked with disappointment, “It’s been almost a month. What are you doing at night? Are you just chatting covered in the quilt?”

Esther was even more embarrassed. Talking about this topic with a noble lady, she really felt uncomfortable.

“Yes… Terence doesn’t want a child, so he doesn’t cooperate.” She knew that if she said this, Mrs. Gibson would only ask, “If he doesn’t cooperate with you, won’t you find a way to make him cooperate?”

However, she still told the truth. Ever since Terence fell ill, although the two of them slept in the same bed, Terence did not touch her at all. At night, he would at the most hug and touch her on a whim. He did not want to do other things with her at all.

She knew that Terence didn’t want to give her a chance to get pregnant, so he left her with the excuse that he had just suffered from an illness a week ago and was tired. The next week, he was always busy until midnight before going to bed with the excuse of work.

Terence was determined not to give her a chance to be pregnant. What could she do?NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She couldn’t seduce him again. Even if she did, she would also be forced to eat contraceptive pills when waking up the next day.

“No matter what, do your best.” Mrs. Gibson suddenly took a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Esther. She said, “Put some of this into Terence’s milk tonight and let him drink it. Then things will be much easier. This is the only thing I can help you with.”

Looking at the small bottle that Mrs. Gibson handed over, Esther was surprised, but she did not take it.

Mrs. Gibson saw that she was not willing to accept it and said, “What’s wrong? This medicine is not harmful to the body and not easy to be found. It is very safe.”

“No, I don’t want it.” Esther shook her head. “Terence will be unhappy. He dislikes that people drug him the most.”

Last time, she had only bought some essential oil to flirt. Terence was already extremely disgusted with her. Even when drinking the soup, he was worried that she would drug the soup.

She could not do this, nor could she allow Terence to treat her as a scheming girl like LILA again.

“But if you don’t do this, you won’t be able to get pregnant, and Terence will never be able to return to City R. Would you rather accompany him here to suffer than go back to City R with him?” Mrs. Gibson said, “Even if you are willing to stay with him in this place for the rest of your life, Terence cannot destroy his future. He is still waiting to control the Gibson Group one day.” Mrs. Gibson said.

“Mom, don’t say it anymore. I don’t want to do this. Please don’t push me. Please give me time to convince Terence. I…”

“Wait for you to convince him? A year or half a year later?” Mrs. Gibson asked.

“I…!” Esther was speechless, and then she whispered, “But even if I am pregnant, Dad might not let Terence go back to the headquarters to work.”

“No.” Mrs. Gibson shook her head. “Didn’t Terence refuse to take a paternity test? When you’re pregnant, you can use the child’s amniotic fluid to take a paternity test. As long as the child is one of the Gibson family, Master Gibson will naturally take you all back and develop Terence with great effort. He will also dote on this child.”

Esther stared at Mrs. Gibson in surprise again. She didn’t expect that she was planning something like this…?

“So, you and the child will be Terence’s good help. Do you understand?”

Esther understood, but she still didn’t want to accept Mrs. Gibson’s method.

Mrs. Gibson directly stuffed the medicine bottle into her hands and said, “Take it. When Terence can return to City R, it will depend on you.”

Esther lowered her head to look at the medicine bottle that Mrs. Gibson had stuffed into her hands. Mrs. Gibson had already spoken to this point, so she naturally could not return it to Mrs. Gibson. She could only put it back into her bag and casually said, “I see.”

Seeing that she had finally accepted the medicine bottle, a satisfied smile appeared on Mrs. Gibson’s lips. She said earnestly, “Esther, you grew up in a small family like the Cusack family. You haven’t seen the intrigue and struggles, nor have you experienced the cruelty in a big family. So you don’t realize what kind of danger awaits you in the future.”

Esther smiled bitterly. How could she not experience it before? It was just that she was too weak and didn’t even have a chance to fight. She was defeated by Anne and the others. Then she became an outsider in the Cusack Group.

Because she knew how to back down, she kept herself and her mother safe for a few years.

However, Terence might not let go of the Gibson Group as easily as her, nor would he be as weak as her, and there would be a danger if there was a dispute, she knew that!

…

Coming out of the hotel where Mrs. Gibson was staying, Esther was sent home by the driver to the community.

When she passed by the trash can next to the community, she unconsciously stopped and took out the small medicine bottle from her bag. After a little hesitation, she threw it in.

Although the pregnancy was very important for Terence’s future, she didn’t want to do this kind of thing that was hated by Terence anymore. After all, they had finally gotten a little closer recently.

When she returned home, Terence was sitting on the sofa and watching TV. When he heard the door open, he turned to look at her. “You’re back?”
