Love Is a Sweet Addiction

However, when she went to Parasol Tree Garden, Terence was taking a shower.

Listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom and looking around the huge room, Esther could not help but think of something before she went to Proley.

At that time, she had an awkward relationship with Terence and there was almost no chance for them to speak calmly. She had to endure other people’s attacks and the terrifying scenes appearing in her mind again and again.

Now she had returned from Proley. Her relationship with Terence had improved, and she was about to be a mother. This was very gratifying.

She believed that her life would get better and more peaceful!

“Why did you come here so quickly?” Terence’s voice came from behind.

Esther came back to her senses and turned to look at him, who had just come out of the bath. “I miss you.”

“You weren’t that sweet in the past.”

“Things are different now.” Esther habitually found a dryer to help him dry his hair, but was rejected by Terence. He thought the radiation from the hairdryer was not good for the baby.

Since it was bad for the baby, Esther did not insist and instead helped him wipe it with a large towel.

“Are you hungry?” She asked.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“No,” Terence asked back, “what about you? Are you used to being home? Did you run into a fight with your sister?”

“You’re so annoying. Am I such an aggressive person?” Esther punched him on the shoulder with her fist.

Terence smiled. “I was just joking.”

He still has the mood to laugh. Esther looked at him suspiciously. Mrs. Gibson was anxious, but he did not care at all.

“I heard dad has changed your position?”

“Yes.” Terence nodded. “The new job is pretty good. It’s a little easier.”

“But … isn’t it a little far from your goal?”

Terence pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “It doesn’t matter. Everything must be done step by step.”

Esther nodded, although she did not know if Terence was so open-minded, it could only be like this with the current situation. She could not act too pessimistic like Mrs. Gibson and give him much pressure!

She hesitated for a moment and said, “Have you seen the rumors online?”

“What rumors? Rumors about me not being part of the Gibson family?” Terence asked.

“So you saw it.”

“Yes, Shaw told me two days ago.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Esther was a little bit angry. She was the last one to know that.

If she didn’t meet James and Anne today, she would not have known that Terence fell into such a situation.

“Besides affecting your mood, there doesn’t seem to be any other benefits to tell you that.” Terence smiled disapprovingly and raised his hand to caress her hair. “Don’t worry about me. Relax and take a good rest, okay?”

“But there are too many rumors on the Internet. It makes me angry.”

“So, don’t go online in the future.”

Esther nodded and said, “I don’t know why James and Anne are sure that you are not from the Gibson family.”

Terence raised the corner of his lips and smiled. “Isn’t this good? If people think that our baby has nothing to do with the Gibson family, you and the baby will be safer.”

This was also one of the reasons why he was not in a hurry to refute the rumors. After all, although they survived accidents that happened in Proley, he still had some fears when he thought about it.

Esther did not expect him to have this kind of thought, but it seemed to be right.

Anne hated her so much and wanted her child to die. And Amanda, who wanted her son to inherit the Gibson family, would probably harm her and her child.

Esther smiled and cupped Terence’s face with both hands. “I was originally worried about you. I didn’t expect you to calm me down with just a few words. I’m not worried at all.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.” She nodded. “Good night then. I’m going to sleep, too.”

“Are you going back to sleep?” Terence glanced at her. “You plan to continue living separately from me?”

“I’m pregnant right now. It is good for both of us to live separately.” A complicated emotion flashed through Esther’s eyes. She did not tell Terence that she was a little afraid of this bedroom. She always had an uneasy feeling and was likely to have nightmares here.

She was not very clear about the reason, probably because she had seen the portrait of Miss Shirly in his room before.

Her reason was a bit far-fetched. Terence understood, but he did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he said, “Go to bed early.”

After leaving Terence’s room, Esther returned to her bedroom.

She also had nightmares in this bedroom, but Miss Shirly had never lived in this bedroom before, so she did not have much pressure.

…

It had been a long time since so many people had gathered at the breakfast table of the Gibson’s.

The atmosphere at the dining table was no different from the past. Everyone looked peaceful. Even Clark seemed to be as usual. He casually talked about work and life. Of course, he did not forget to tell the servants to take good care of Esther.

When Clark mentioned her, Esther could hear Anne’s scorn, but she did not care. Instead, she smiled and thanked Clark.

Esther thought that Terence would go directly to the company after breakfast, but she didn’t expect that he would go to her bedroom.

He looked around the bedroom and asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”

Esther nodded. “Yep.”

“That’s good.” Terence nodded and said, “Don’t run around. Take care of yourself.”

“I will.” Esther sized him up. “Did you come here just to remind me about this?”

Terence did not deny it.

Esther smiled happily. Her slender arms wrapped around Terence’s neck and tiptoed to kiss him. “You have learned to care about people.”

Terence looked at her. “So I’m that inconsiderate in your heart?”

“No, but I am still surprised.” Esther smiled and said, “Take care and work hard. Remember to go home early when you are done with work.”
