Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After hesitating for a long time, Lila suddenly looked up at Anne and sneered, “Anne, you acted so dirty! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you after I’m exposed?”

“If that’s the case, then I won’t stand idle. Anyway, I’m now the apple of the Gibson family, and I have the baby in my belly to protect me. Even if Terence knows about it, he can’t do anything to me, but Miss Lila is different. If I expose your dirty past, I don’t know what will happen.”

Anne smiled and continued, “since Miss Lila is so famous, the scandals might be spread very soon, from China to abroad. At that time, not only will you be like a street rat, even your family will be ashamed because of you. I do not think Miss Lila wants to see such a situation, right?”

Lila was furious. She didn’t expect that Anne would threaten her like this. She suddenly felt like she was cheated.

“You…!” She was speechless in anger.

Anne smiled and said in a gentle tone, “Don’t be angry, Miss Lila. We are in the same boat. We are comrades-in-arms who live and die together. What we should do is to help each other, not to become enemies.”

“Shouldn’t this be considered as falling out with me?” Lila thought sullenly.

Anne added, “I have already said that Miss Lila can choose to do as I say, or choose to give up. Whether to give up or not is your own choice, so do not scold me. Words like this are quite hurtful.”

“I think it’s a pity for us to give up since we’ve already reached this stage. After all, there is only one Terence in the world. We can’t let go of him.” After Anne finished, she stood up from her chair. “Alright, I’ve said everything I need to say. After all, I’m a pregnant woman now, so it’s not suitable for me to stay outside for too long.”

When she said the last words, the pride in her tone could not be hidden.

The treatment she enjoyed today was all for the baby. There was no need to repeatedly show off as Lila knew the truth well.

But not everyone could be as lucky as her!This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

In the morning, before Terence left the house, he turned around and looked at Esther who was following him. “Stay at home and don’t run around, okay?”

“Got it.”

“Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

“And don’t cook by yourself…”

“Terence,” Esther interrupted him with a smile. “I’m the one who’s pregnant, but why do you become such a gabber? Don’t worry. Maria is here. She will cook for me.”

“Yes, Mr. Terence, you can go to work at ease. I will take good care of Ms. Esther.” The newly coming aunt said with a smile.

Terence was a little uncomfortable because of Esther’s teasing. Thinking that he was indeed very long-winded, he nodded. “Then I will go to work.”

“Just go.” Esther looked at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.

When Terence was ready to go out, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at her.

Meeting his gaze, Esther’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong?”

Terence suddenly used his large palm to hold her chin, then he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. “See you.”

“See you again…” When Esther said this word in a daze, Terence had already entered the elevator and gone downstairs.

Did he kiss goodbye? Did he sense and understand her expectations?

She had always hoped that she and Terence could be like an ordinary couple. When they parted in the morning, they could have a warm kiss goodbye. When they met at night, they would kiss again.

But there were always so many bumps between her and Terence, and their relationship had never progressed. They had never kissed each other like this before.

Esther raised her hand and touched her face, feeling as warm as her heart…

Even Maria, who was packing her things in the room, could not help but say enviously, “Ms. Esther and Mr. Terence have such a good relationship. It is really enviable.”

“Thank you, Maria,” Esther said with a smile.

Maria smiled and asked, “By the way, what would Miss Esther like to eat for lunch? I’ll go to the market to buy it.”

“The market is a bit far.”

“It doesn’t matter. The things in the market are fresher than the ones in the supermarket. I will just take it as a walk.” Maria said, “Ms. Esther is pregnant now. Fresh food is good for the baby.”

“Well, thank you, Maria.” Esther thought for a moment. “I’ll give you a menu later. You can buy food according to the menu.”

“That wouldn’t be better.” Maria smiled.

“Then I will go to do my work,” Esther smiled at Maria and walked towards the study room.

During the day when Terence was not at home, the study was all for her to use. Esther used to draw manuscripts on the sofa or her bed, but Terence thought it was not suitable to do so since she was pregnant.

Esther had thought that Terence was a very careful and considerate person. After getting pregnant, she felt even more so.

It turned out that a man could also hide a little bit of care in his heart. This kind of man was really cute!

…

Not long after Terence sat down in the office, Miss Young walked in and stared at him with a worried expression. “Mr. Terence, Master Gibson called just now. I said you were in a meeting.”

“Got it. I’ll call him back later.” Terence said without raising his head.

“From Master Gibson’s tone can tell that he is in a bad mood. Are you sure you want to call him back?”

“He has been cross recently. Naturally, he talked in that tone. Don’t worry.” Terence comforted her. “Don’t worry and go do what you need to do.”

Miss Young did not leave. Instead, she asked worriedly, “Could it be that Master Gibson has already known you sold the villa that your mother left for you?”

“Probably.” Terence nodded. He did not keep it a secret as to whether to sell the villa or not is up to him.

“No wonder Master Gibson was so angry.” Miss Young shook her head helplessly and sighed. “Mr. Terence, do not forget to call him back. I’ll go to do my thing.”

After Miss Young left, the expression on Terence’s face became more and more serious. He then picked up the phone on the table and dialed Clark’s number.

“Dad, I heard you were looking for me?” Although they had been having a bad time because of the kinship, Terence still treated him with respect and politeness on the surface.

Clark, on the other side, was very cross with him, “How did you have the nerve to call me?”

Terence smiled, his tone as humble and respectful as ever. “Dad, weren’t you looking for me?”
