Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Then he listened to you? If he cares about you, he will…”

“He doesn’t care about me. I’ve told you about it.” Esther shook her hand and smiled. “He and I are just husband and wife. We have no feelings. He doesn’t care for me and I won’t care for him… No…”

Her words made Serena speechless. “Well, I can’t understand your marriage. I shouldn’t have come out and listened to you talk so much.”

After Serena finished speaking, she angrily stood up from the sofa. Linsay hurriedly pulled her back to her seat and comforted her gently, “Serena, what are you doing? Esther did not say what she wanted to do with Terence. It was you who had been worrying about it.”

“I…!”

“Esther and Terence are both adults. They know what kind of life they want. We shouldn’t participate.” After saying that, Linsay raised her head and said to Terence, “Terence, don’t misunderstand. Serena and I don’t want to affect your relationship with Esther.”

“Linsay is much more gentle and sensible.” Esther reached out and patted Linsay’s face. “Linsay is the best.”

Terence was originally not in a good mood. After hearing what Esther said just now, he felt more and more aggrieved. This woman did not even forget to keep a distance from him when she was drunk.

It had been so many days. Was she still thinking about divorce?

Serena was also very aggrieved. She felt that she had done something good but was not appreciated by her good friend. Instead, she had become a troublemaker.

She angrily stood up from the sofa again and left.

“Serena, wait for me…” Linsay also got up, took one last look at the two of them and quickly followed.

Only Terence and Esther who were already so drunk were left on the seats. Esther slightly raised her small face and giggled at the man in front of her, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

It seemed that this woman was quite drunk. Terence patiently said, “Let’s go back.”

Esther shook her head.

Terence was displeased.

“No.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t walk anymore. I want you to carry me back.” Esther shook her head.

Terence glanced at her and sneered mockingly. “Weren’t you thinking of keeping a distance from me just now? Why do you want me to carry you now?”

Esther thought for a moment and said innocently, “You asked me to go back.”

Alright, he gave in.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Terence bent down and pulled her out of the seat. Then he squatted down in front of her and said in a cold tone, “Come up.”

Esther climbed up to his back without hesitation and hugged his neck tightly.

There were few parking lots here. Terence parked the car at the park opposite the road. Esther was so drunk that even if she didn’t ask him to carry her, he might take the initiative to carry her over.

Because other than carrying her, he had no choice.

Esther leaned against his back and smelled his unique scent. Closing her eyes, she felt extremely comfortable.

Feeling her breathing gradually become balanced, Terence suddenly reminded her, “Don’t fall asleep, or you’ll catch a cold.”

“I’m not asleep.” Esther shook her head and mumbled, “I’m afraid you’ll leave me behind.”

“You were the one who asked me to leave.” Terence was speechless. Her thoughts were different from her words.

“I know…” Esther nodded again. “But I regret it.”

“Regret?”

“Well, because Serena said that you must have gone to find your lover.”

“…”

Without getting a response from him, Esther asked, “Terence, is it a woman who called you?”

“Yes.” He replied after a slight hesitation.

Esther’s heart twitched, and she unconsciously asked, “Is she your lover?”

“No.”

“Is it Lila?”

A trace of surprise flashed across Terence’s face. He obviously did not expect that she would know about Lila.

“No.”

“It wasn’t her…” Esther suddenly smiled in relief and closed her eyes again. It was good that it wasn’t her!

Lila was so beautiful and famous. She really wasn’t a match for her and didn’t want to be a match for her!

Terence did not feel her movement for a long time. He turned his head and called, “Esther!”

Esther moved her eyelids, but she did not wake up.

She had just said that she couldn’t fall asleep, but she had fallen asleep all of a sudden…

Terence had no choice but to carefully open the car door and put her into the car. He went around the front of the car to the other side.

Under the dim light, her little face was red and quiet, but there was a faint uneasiness, looking both tempting and pitiful.

This appearance of her was much cuter than the way she was when she was baring her fangs and quarreling with him!

…

When she woke up the next day, Esther found herself lying in her bed.

She quietly sat up from the bed and began to recall how she got home, and how she was brought back by Terence in her sleep.

It seemed like last night was the second time!

She unconsciously looked down at her body and found that she was wearing the sleeping robe. ‘It was not him who changed my clothes, right?

It should be quite late to come back last night, and the servants all went back to their rooms to rest. Who else could it be if not him?’

She wanted Terence to carry her back, and she wanted him to help her change into her pajamas… Thinking of that shameful scene, Esther could not help but scratch her scalp with both hands, trying to get herself to forget about it quickly.

But…

She suddenly raised her head, glanced around, and then glanced at the clean and neat big bed. He had already stripped her clothes last night, but he hadn’t even touched her. As a physiological and healthy man, how did he do it?

Was it… because her figure was too unattractive to him, or did he have it enough with his lover outside?

Of course, she preferred the former over the latter.

When she met Terence in the restaurant, Esther’s face was full of embarrassment, because she didn’t know if she had done anything embarrassing after getting drunk last night and said something embarrassing.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have asked him if he went to meet his lover, and his answer was no.

Serena said that if he was a man, he would not lie. In her opinion, Terence was a man, so he would not lie to her.

Terence was not embarrassed at all. After greeting the elders, he went straight to her side and sat down.

Clark scanned the two of them and asked with a smile, “Did you have a good time out last night?”
