Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Unexpectedly, Terence was used to living with a woman he had not known for long. In addition, he didn’t hate her.

Terence had thought that he would never like any other woman. Even if he married a woman, he would no longer be interested in her.

Over the years, Gill had urged him to get married and have children. She had even introduced many outstanding women to him. But he didn’t like all women after trying some times.

Terence didn’t expect that he would get used to living with a woman this time. Moreover, he felt quite good. At least, he liked this kind of life.

“Since you like it, we won’t go back?” he suddenly said.

Esther was stunned and refused. “No need. You and our child’s future are the most important. I don’t dare to delay it.”

“That’s also your future.”

“Might be.” Esther replied, “I’ll be fine if you are great.”

Honestly, she didn’t like fame and wealth. She could create a sound life. The only thing she needed the help of the Gibson family was her father’s treatment.

It would be best if her father could wake up one day, and Esther helped her father get the company back. But they’re difficult.

Esther never hid her aspirations, which was not hypocritical at all.

Terence was gradually getting used to her.

“I will try my best,” Terence promised softly.

“What?” Esther was confused.

“For the future of you and the child, I will work hard,” Terence repeated.

Esther smiled and kissed Terence’s forehead. “Me too.”

…

Abnormally, Esther refused to do a paternity test for Terence and Clark, making Gill more suspicious.

Lauren reminded her before. But she was not so worried.

“Do you think Terence isn’t the son of Master Gibson?” She stared at Lauren and asked.

When Gill did not believe it, Lauren thought that she must remind Gill. Now that Gill believed it firmly, Lauren felt that Gill was overthinking.

She tried to comfort Gill, “Mrs. Gibson, you had said that Ann shouldn’t act recklessly. Master Gibson will understand and call Terence back from Proley. Don’t worry.”

Gill shook her head. “Esther never dared to disobey my orders. This time, she rejected me. She might know the truth and did it intentionally.”

“Ms. Anne? Why are you here?” Before Gill finished her words, Lauren suddenly interrupted.

Gill was stunned and turned her head. Then she saw Anne standing at the door of the bedroom.

“Grandma, I’m here to send you something.” Anne waved the tonic in her hand. “My uncle brought it back from abroad. Grandma asked me to give you some.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Gill smiled. “You are considerate. Help me thank your grandma.”

“It’s our pleasure. I should show filial piety to you.” Anne handed the tonic to Lauren.

Gill looked at Anne and asked with concern, “Anne, you look exhausted these days. Are you feeling unwell?”

Anne touched her cheek and smiled. “No. It might be because of pregnancy, and I didn’t sleep well.”

“It’s possible. Take good care of yourself. After all, you are pregnant with James’s child.”

“Thank you, grandma. I will.” Gill’s words made Anne feel guilty. But no one else knew that her baby was not the child of James. She was relieved.

But Esther might guess the truth. After all, she had seen it when Anne had sex with Tyler.

Fortunately, the video on Esther’s phone had been deleted by Anne. Even if Esther guessed it, there was no evidence.

After Anne went out, Lauren asked worriedly, “Mrs. Gibson, did Ms. Anne hear our conversation?”

“She must hear it,” Gill answered.

“What should we do?”

“Nothing we can do.” Gill said, “I can’t catch her and erase all her memories.”

“But if she spreads this out, it will ruin Terence’s reputation.”

“So, we have to ask Terence and Esther to come back quickly and find out the truth.” Gill sighed helplessly.

Lauren nodded. “Alright.”

After a moment of silence, Gill suddenly asked, “If Terence isn’t Master Gibson’s son, will we all be done? Did I place the wrong bet from the beginning?”

Lauren hurriedly comforted, “No, Mrs. Gibson. You didn’t make a mistake. Terence must be the child of Master Gibson.”

But Gill smiled bitterly.

…

After coming out of Gill’s bedroom, Anne immediately walked to Amanda’s bedroom.

Thinking of Amanda’s warning, Anne stopped and knocked on the door. After getting permission, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Unexpectedly, James was also there and talking about something with Amanda.

Amanda has been ambitious. She also likes to ask about the company’s affairs after James returns home every night. Anne was used to this.

“James, you’re back.” Anne smiled as she walked over to James and sat down. She held his arm, “Why are you back so early? Do you have a dinner party today?”

James glared at her. “If I returned late, you would cause trouble again and say that I didn’t care about you two.”

Anne said in a spoiled manner, “James, that’s because I love you too much. But I promise that I won’t do it again, no matter when you come back.”

James glanced at her. He couldn’t understand Anne’s changes in the past few days. He wondered if Anne was secretly plotting something again.
