Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther asked with a smile, “Why? I’m good now.”

Doris brushed away her tears and sighed, “I’m not greedy and don’t care how many betrothal gifts you’ve received. I feel distressed because…” She paused, caressing Esther’s face, “You marry a Gibsons but are treated differently. You have not got married yet. I can imagine that you will have a tough time ahead after marrying Terence.”

“What’s your point?” Anne stood by the bedroom door and spoke mockingly. Then, she walked in.

Doris and Esther looked at her and were stunned. Doris quickly turned around wiping off her.

Anne walked in with her arms crossed, smiling proudly, “Have I told you before? I’ll have a grand wedding ceremony when I marry James, which is much better than Esther’s. Esther married a divorcé who is in poor physical condition. No one knows how long he will live. He is nothing to compare with James, the eldest grandson of the Gibsons? You are over-optimistic!”

“Anne, Esther did not mean that. I just…” Doris hurriedly explained, “I was emotional just now.”

“Did she? I’ve just heard that you…”

“Anne!” Esther stopped her indifferently and coldly glared at her, “If you dare say one more word, I’ll send the video to the Gibsons group right away.”

Hearing this, Anne’s expression changed. She shut up at once.

Although she didn’t say anything else, she hated Esther so much that wanted to kill her. She planned to take this opportunity to laugh at Esther. It was bad to be caught out. She would destroy that video sooner or later!

“What video are you talking about?” Doris asked doubtfully.

“It is about some Miss Anne’s brilliant photos.” Esther sneered. She looked at Anne indifferently, “Anne, listen carefully. I didn’t release it because we are blood-related. If you dare piss me off, I will do as you did before and not consider family affections at all.” Anne said.

Esther’s expression was daunting. Anne had always looked down on her and was scared now. Esther had her video and she could do nothing. Anne walked out resentfully.

Seeing that Anne had left, Esther secretly sighed.

Esther had no affection for her because Anne was so mean to her. With the video, Esther wasn’t kind enough to forget retaliating.

She did not release the video mainly because of Terence. She still remembered the disdainful look on Terence’s face when she took the video. He ironically said that she was a scheming girl. Terence even thought that she tried to stop Anne from marrying into a Gibsons by taking the video because she still had feelings for James.

If releasing the video, Esther could imagine what Terence would think of her.

Her life in Gibson’s mansion was not easy and was beleaguered by problems. If Terence hated her and looked down on her, how could she live in that house any longer?

It was so pathetic that the man, who she tried to please, stayed with another woman last night.

Esther shook her head and smiled bitterly.

After putting gifts in order, Esther took the initiative to find Anne to ask about her wedding dress.

Before she finished her words, Anne nodded, “That’s right. I said that I prefer you personally design a wedding dress for me, because…” She smiled wickedly, “I will torture you and make you heartbreaking!”

To make her heartbreaking? Well, Anne had snatched Esther’s boyfriend, and Esther had to personally design a wedding dress for Anne. Any woman would be heartbreaking under such circumstances.

However, Esther had been hurt so badly and didn’t feel pain anymore.

She said calmly, “It is a grand wedding, and all eyes will on you. Anne, you love to be in the spotlight. Would you not consider wearing a wedding dress designed by a famous designer on your wedding day?”

It was a very important occasion. It would be brilliant to wear a wedding dress designed by a famous designer, but…

Anne gritted her teeth and said, “No. I’d love to wear the dress personally designed by my sister.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Marrying into the Gibsons family was big news. People envied her. Anne didn’t bother to choose a top brand wedding dress, because she was unwilling to give up such an opportunity to take revenge on Esther.

Since Anne insisted, Esther did not put in more comments.

She took out a pile of drafts from her bag and placed them on the table, “Here are some dresses that I designed before. These styles are popular and have received relatively good comments. Check them if there is one you like.”

Anne lazily leaned on a sofa, checking her fingernails. She glanced at those drafts handed her and said indifferently, “These are all outdated, aren’t they? I want the latest one.”

“They are all the latest models of this year.”

“But I want you to design a new one for me, which has never been seen before.”

Esther bit her lips, trying to hold her anger, “Miss Anne, please don’t make things difficult for me. The wedding is approaching. I’m afraid I will disappoint you.”

Anne was deliberate to embarrass her. She would be picky. Esther could imagine how difficult it would be for her to get along with Anne in the future.

Anne raised her hand and checked her beautiful nails. She looked up at Esther and said, “Esther, I’ll pay you. I’m your client, how can you talk to me like this? You are not patient enough with your client. Customers come first. Is that right?”

Esther held back her anger.

“Just focus on your design. We’ll discuss by then if you can make it.”

After pausing for a moment, Esther said, “Fine. Since you’ve asked, I will prepare you with several options. I hope you are not picky.”

“OK, I’ll try.” Anne pointed at drafts on the table with her chin, “Take them away. They are trash.”

Esther didn’t bother to argue. She put drafts back in her bag and left.

After walking out, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She had been in a bad mood since Terence received a call from that sweet girl last night. And she had been bullied in the Cusack’s today. She felt that she would explode if she didn’t adjust her mood.
