Love Is a Sweet Addiction

‘Bitches, let’s see how long you can pretend to be nice.’ Reid rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled right away, “I know! I’m also into joking. I was also joking with all you beautiful ladies just now.”

In an instant, the tension was eased.

Esther couldn’t believe it, but Anne knew what she was doing. The climate of tonight’s show was yet to come, how could she allow the party to be interrupted now?

Esther handed over the gift she prepared beforehand to Anne, “Happy birthday, Anne. Here is my present to you.”

“Thank you,” Anne took the gift and handed it to Jennifer, who was standing beside her, “Keep it.”

“I don’t want it. I don’t think Esther would bring anything good.” Jennifer purposely took over the gift with a disgusted expression and handed it to a waitress passing by, “Here, take it, little girl.”

The waitress was stunned when she received the gift and then left happily.

Esther didn’t care much about it. Afraid that Reid would lose his temper again, she pulled Reid into the break room.

As soon as they entered the break room, Reid immediately asked Esther triumphantly, “How did I look? Was I handsome, gentleman, and graceful enough? Did I have the feel of Terence just now?”

Esther rolled eyes at him annoyedly and said, “I don’t know if you resembled Terence, but the way you cursed those women was very similar to Anne’s good friends.”

“Then tell me honestly, do you feel relieved after that?” asked Reid.

“I do,” Esther patted his chest, “but you almost made me unable to cover for you.”

“With your on-the-spot reactions, no wonder you could only play the role of the bullied.” Reid waved his hand smugly and said, “Go, get me some water.”

“Sure, but I have to warn you, don’t act like this later.” Although it was relieving, it was great damage to Terence’s image.

Esther shook her head, looked around, and walked to the room next door to look for water.

As soon as she stepped in, she was immediately stunned by the person on the sofa and unconsciously stopped…

It’s him? The man named Arno? Why is he here?

This was Anne’s birthday party. He had no reason to come here. She looked at the man on the sofa, then looked at the banquet hall below. Her face flushed unconsciously.

Did he see the quarrel between her and Anne just now? In other words, did he see her embarrassing side again?Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Alright, this is the third time she got embarrassed in front of him.

Esther guessed it right. Terence saw clearly how she and Reid performed just now. He hadn’t expected that she would actually find such an ugly man to play his role and even did it so naturally.

At this moment, Terence was again looking at Esther. He had exquisite facial features and a slender and muscular body figure set off by his tailored casual suit. Wearing polished black leather shoes, Terence was now casually holding a magazine with his slender fingers.

What made Esther’s face flush and her heart race the most was the half-smile on his face.

“You … why are you here?” After a long while, Esther stuttered.

Terence closed the magazine, stood up, and walked towards her. Looking down at her from a close distance, he said mockingly, “Of course I have to be here. Since Ms. Esther doesn’t want to be my lover, I would have to look for another lady.”

What did he mean? He didn’t look like a gigolo. Why was he in such a hurry to find another woman?

Then what was his current identity? Anne’s new lover? Things changed so quickly…

Esther nodded awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

By the way, should she blame him for directly giving her to Terence the other night?

“Well … let me ask you something.”

“What?”

“How did you hand me over to Terence that night?”

“I just called him directly.”

Esther was embarrassed. She complained in a low voice, “How can you behave like this…”

“What? You went on a blind date with others without telling your sick husband. Don’t tell me you still care about his feelings.”

“Don’t call him sick.” Esther glared at Terence unhappily.

“It’s obvious that you don’t love him at all. Why are you still pretending?” Terence suddenly grabbed Esther’s arm and pushed her against the cabinet beside him. He looked at Esther and said with a wicked smile, “What about considering being my lover? I’ll go out and deal with all those women for you.”

Terence pressed his body against Esther’s tightly and locked her in his arms.

They were too intimate … Esther’s face instantly flushed deeply. Instinctively, she pushed away his muscular body and said, “What are you doing? Let go of me now, or else someone will see us.”

The walls of this room were transparent. Thus, they could clearly see the banquet hall downstairs. Naturally, others could also see them from outside. It would be awkward if others saw them being together. After all, she brought her husband to the party today. How could she get entangled with another man?

Moreover, Arno was now Anne’s lover. Esther didn’t want to get into a fight with her because of a man again.

However, Terence did not let go of her. Instead, he took Esther’s small face in his hands. He gently brushed her lips with his fingers, as if he was drawing a precious painting. He gazed at her deeply and asked, “Who is the man next door?”

His fingers, warm and soft, brushed softly against Esther’s lips, making her even more embarrassed.

“He’s my husband,” she said, turning her face away from his fingers.

“Your husband?”

“Yes,” She went on lying, “you should have seen that he has a bad temper, so you’d better let me go immediately.”

“Well, I’d like to see what he can do to me.” Terence smiled and rubbed her waist provocatively.

Esther was very sensitive. She was so embarrassed and angry that she slapped him in the face and cursed, “You are insane!”

“Esther! What takes you so long?” Reid’s urging voice came from the break room next door, “Don’t you want me to fake couples with you anymore?”

Because the TV was on in the break room, Reid did not hear what happened between Esther and Terence. Instead, his words were clearly heard by them.

Esther’s face flushed deeply again. Reid indeed did more harm than good. He just disclosed the fact that he was her fake husband!
