Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Alright, I won’t mention her again.” Anne wrapped her hands around his neck and smiled as she stared at Esther, who was gradually disappearing into the night, through James’ shoulder.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

James was probably too immersed and didn’t notice that Esther had got out of the trunk of his car and walked towards the Cusack’s.

As soon as Esther stepped into the living room, she saw her grandmother and mother sitting on the sofa. Apparently, they were waiting for her. One of them looked gloomy while the other was full of worry.

“Esther, what’s wrong with you? Why are your clothes wet?” Esther’s mother, Doris, stood up and greeted Esther. Doris looked at the sky outside and said, “It’s not raining outside.”

It really didn’t rain outside. Esther just didn’t want her mother to worry, so she washed the bloodstains on her clothes at the door.

“It’s so late. Where the hell did you fool around?” Esther’s grandmother, Betty, with an angry face, immediately scolded Esther at the sight of her.

“I had something to do today.” Esther, who had just suffered a blow, was scolded by her grandmother as soon as she returned. Naturally, her face sank.

Betty saw the kiss mark on Esther’s neck with her sharp eyes. In a fit of temper, Betty suddenly stood up from the sofa. Pointing at the kiss mark on Esther’s neck, she shouted angrily, “How dare you deny? Then what is that on your neck? Which man did you mess around with?”

Esther was stunned. She didn’t expect that there would be a kiss mark on her neck.

That was reasonable. Terence kissed her so crazily just now, and it would be strange if there were no traces.

Because of Esther’s silence, Betty immediately exploded with anger. “You little bitch, how many times have I told you to remain chaste? Why don’t you listen? Why don’t you learn from your sister? Look at your sister. She will never be like you….”

“If I had learnt from my sister, I would have already committed adultery!” Esther suddenly interrupted Betty and shouted angrily, “Grandma, why don’t you ask Anne if she’s back? Where did she go? Which man is she hanging out with tonight?”

Normally, Betty always praised Anne and asked Esther to learn from Anne. Esther didn’t say anything and she endured it for the sake of Betty’s old age. But today, even though Anne returned later than her and seduced her boyfriend, Betty still had a bias toward Anne.

Esther had always been docile. Her outburst of anger startled both Betty and Doris. Doris hurriedly pulled the corner of Esther’s clothes.

How could Betty tolerate Esther being so disrespectful? She raised her hand and slapped Esther’s face. “Esther, don’t insult your sister here. Your sister is not such a person!”

“You’ll know if she is this kind of person when she comes back.” Anne covered her painful cheeks and glared at Betty.

As soon as Anne stepped into the house, she saw such a tense situation. She involuntarily slowed down. However, after realizing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly returned to normal. She smiled and greeted everyone, “Grandma, Doris, what are you guys doing? It seems that you are not in a good mood.”

Although Esther was not close to this half-blood sister, this was the first time she felt a trace of disgust and resentment when she saw Anne. She angrily asked, “Anne, tell Grandma what you have done tonight.”
