Love Is a Sweet Addiction

She knew that it was useless to say this and he would despise her tears, but she still could not help but say it.

Terence looked at her and asked coldly, “Did I ask you to go to the ancestral hall?”

Her heart chilled. She shook her head in disappointment. “No, that’s my fault.”

“Right.” Terence let go of her and glanced at the box in her hand. “I didn’t ask you to go to Proley, either. So … don’t blame me if something happened and I couldn’t protect you well.”

Esther gritted her teeth and said in a fit of pique, “I will take care of myself.”

Terence snorted. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked to the gate.

Esther felt that she was really wrong. She was not welcomed, but she still went with him.

On the way to the airport, they were silent in the car.

After arriving at the airport, Esther saw Miss Young. She saw the beautiful woman that Terence would bring along no matter where he went. Esther suddenly felt that she was a little too self-sentimental. Miss Young was such a caring person. She would be able to take care of her boss.

Ross said that a lot of people were willing to follow Terence to Proley. There should be Miss Young among them.

She still had a job in City R. She had specially asked Serena for a long leave just for Terence who did not welcome her and looked down upon her. It wasn’t a good idea.

After thinking about it, she finally chose to send a message, “Terence, I just thought about it all the way and decided not to go. I wish you a safe journey.”

When he received her message, Terence was asking Miss Young about the work matters in Proley. He frowned slightly and put his phone in his pocket.

Miss Young was his closest assistant. She could tell that there must be something wrong. She asked with concern, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

Terence said calmly. “Nothing. Esther said that she wouldn’t go to Proley.”

“Really? Why?”

“I think she has figured it out.”

“What?”

“She thought that I don’t deserve her to make this trip.” After Terence finished, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “That’s a good idea. Proley has a bad climate and it’s not safe. People of Spring River Estate are dangerous. Besides, she still has a job here.”

Esther had sent the message in the toilet. After sending it, she sat in the chair, feeling complicated.

After sending out the message, she felt a little regretful. After all, not going to Proley was just a thought that she had just had a moment ago. She was a little too impulsive.

However, she couldn’t take it back. Now she could only repeatedly find excuses to comfort herself so that she could give it up without any psychological pressure.

The best way was to figure out all the misunderstandings and injuries that Terence had caused her over the past few days. The more she thought about those, the more she hated Terence, and the burden in her heart became lighter and lighter.

After strengthening her determination to go home, she stood up. She was about to leave when she met Miss Young.

She froze and instinctively turned to avoid Miss Young’s gaze.

Miss Young saw her at a glance and smiled. “Miss Esther, why are you still here? We’re about to board the plane.”

Since she could not avoid it, Esther turned around and smile at her. “Miss Young, I have already told Terence that I will not go to Proley.”

“Why?”

“Well … I suddenly remembered that I have a lot of work to do. I’m afraid that I can’t communicate with the studio.”

“Then what about Mr. Terence? Will you let him go to Proley on his own?” Miss Young sat down on the chair and pulled Esther to sit beside her. “Miss Esther, please don’t disbelieve in me. Otherwise, I will feel pressure.”

Esther looked at her and nodded. “That’s right, I decided to go home after seeing you, but it’s not what you think. I … I was worried that he would be alone there and no one would take care of him. But after seeing you go with Terence, I feel relieved. You are a caring and kind woman. With your companion, I’m not worried.”

“But I’m just an assistant. I can’t take care of Mr. Terence every time. Mr. Terence needs you, his wife, not me.”

“No. Terence doesn’t want me to go with him. I insisted on coming.” Esther thought for a moment, then took out a small notebook from her handbag and handed it to Miss Young. She was a little sad, “I asked Dr. Ross to give me a list of the precautions regarding Terence’s illness. Now I’m handing it over to you. Please take good care of him when he gets there. Most importantly, remind him to take the medicine, otherwise, it will be troublesome if he is ill.”

Miss Young took the notebook from her hand and read it. She shook her head and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m just his assistant. I can’t handle these personal matters in life. Besides, Mr. Terence doesn’t like me taking care of his personal matters.”

“Aren’t you and Terence together every day?”

“Yes, but Mr. Terence and I are only talking about certain matters. This is the rule of the Gibson Group and Mr. Terence. I don’t dare to disobey it.” Miss Young handed the notebook back to her and said seriously, “If Miss Esther cares about Mr. Terence’s health, then don’t retreat at the critical moment. Hurry up and get ready to board the plane.”

After Miss Young finished speaking, she paused for a moment and suddenly felt a little funny. “Miss Esther, you misunderstood Mr. Terence. He didn’t want you to go because he felt that it was not safe in Proley and didn’t want to implicate you.”

“It’s not safe?” Esther was startled. “Why?”

“The security of the small city is not good, and Spring River Estate has been unstable. From time to time, some people will cause trouble. Mr. Terence is probably worried that you will become their target if you go.”

“What about his safety?” Esther found that she was more concerned about this problem.

Miss Young smiled bitterly. “Mr. Terence had no choice.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Miss Young’s words made Esther feel tender instantly. She also instantly changed her decision. She bit her lips and pondered for a moment. She said, “Alright, I’ll go with him.”

She changed her mind, but Miss Young was a little embarrassed. “Um … Do you think I’m too bad? I asked you to go even though I knew it was dangerous there.”
