Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“It’s me who tore Anne’s wedding dress. It has nothing to do with Terence. It is already unreasonable to send Terence to Proley. Master Gibson still wants to send him to Africa?” Esther shook her head in confusion. “I wonder if Terence is Master Gibson’s son.”

Kilborn said, “That’s right. People who are not from the Gibson family will be treated like this.”

Kilborn thought angrily, ‘Just like me!’

Esther realized her words hurt Kilborn, so she apologized hurriedly.

“It’s OK.” Kilborn smiled coldly.

Esther said, “But I still don’t understand why Master Gibson treated Terence like this.” If Master Gibson hadn’t sent Terence here, Esther needed not to get pregnant. Perhaps Lady Gibson would have banned her from getting pregnant like before.

“You should ask Terence yourself.” Kilborn shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Esther’s drenched body. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”

Esther refused, “No, thanks.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Kilborn said, “No? Do you try to walk back on your own?”

“This is my business,” Esther said coldly. “Thank you for saving me. But it’s better not to stay too long with each other because you are male and I am female.”

Esther failed to clarify her relationship with James to Terence before. If Terence found her with Kilborn again, he would be furious.

Kilborn didn’t care about it, “Don’t worry, Terence is having lunch with Lila. He will not care who you are with.”

Kilborn’s words made Esther feel speechless.

Esther thought, ‘That’s right. Terence might still be having lunch with Lila. As Terence doesn’t care about me, why not just ride in Kilborn’s car in such a miserable situation? Moreover, there was nothing between me and Kilborn.’

“Please send me to the nearest shopping mall,” Esther said.

“You still have the mood to go shopping?” Kilborn raised his eyebrows mockingly.

“I don’t want to go home, so I want to buy new clothes from the mall.” Esther glanced at Kilborn, who was also drenched. “What about you? Are there no clothes in your car?”

Kilborn replied, “I have spare clothes in my car.”

“OK.”

Esther nodded and walked towards the black car by the roadside.

Kilborn quickly walked up to open the car door for Esther and smiled, “You are the first woman who rides in my car.”

Esther said, “Because of your words, I don’t dare to do that.”

“Just have a seat.”

Esther hesitated for a moment before getting into Kilborn’s car. She looked around and turned to stare at Kilborn, “It’s time for you to find a woman you love.”

Esther seemed to see sadness flashing across Kilborn’s handsome face. But Kilborn smiled, “I can have women at any time.”

“I mean finding the woman you like.” Esther was speechless.

Kilborn finally shut up.

“Mr. Terence, Mrs. Gibson got off here after a call.” The driver looked at Terence through the rearview mirror. He was frightened to see Terence’s gloomy face. The driver apologized quickly, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have listened to Mrs. Gibson. I should have sent her home.”

Terence remained silent, and his eyes were still fixed on the black car that was gradually driving away.

It was Kilborn’s car. Terence saw Esther get into Kilborn’s car.

When Terence returned to the company from the restaurant, he happened to meet the driver who was having lunch. Terence asked the driver if he had sent Esther home. But Terence was told that Esther got off halfway.

Although it’s safe here, who knew what those angry owners would do?

So out of concern, Terence took out his phone to call Esther. But the number he dialed couldn’t be connected.

After phoning Esther several times, Terence was driven to the place where Esther got off. But he found Esther was with Kilborn.

When did Esther and Kilborn have such a good relationship? Kilborn just arrived at Proley and could not wait to date Esther.

After a moment, Terence called Kilborn.

Kilborn answered the call quickly picked up. Terence got straight to the point, “Where are you?”

Kilborn glanced at Esther and said deliberately, “I’m shopping with a friend. What’s up?”

Terence asked, “When will you come back?”

Kilborn answered, “It depends on my friend.”

“Kilborn!” Terence gritted his teeth and squeezed out, “You had better come back to the company immediately.”

“I’m sorry. I will start work tomorrow. I won’t meet you today.” Kilborn decisively hung up the phone and turned it off.

Esther was using a towel to rub her clothes. She casually asked, “Are you busy? I can just get off here. I’ll take a taxi myself.”

“It’s OK. He’s just an unimportant person.” Kilborn tilted his head and smiled at her. “By the way, let him enjoy the feeling of being neglected.”

Esther could not understand Kilborn’s words, nor did she want to keep on inquiring. She continued to rub her wet clothes with her head down.

The black car stopped at the largest shopping mall in Proley. Kilborn said with his hands on the steering wheel, “Are you sure you don’t want me to go shopping with you?”

“Yes, for sure.” Kilborn had explained he meant no harm to suggest Terence come to Proley, but Esther still did not want to spend too much time with him.

Esther swept a glance at Kilborn, who was also drenched, “You should also change your clothes. Otherwise, you will have a cold.” After that, Esther went off.

Kilborn joked with Esther as usual, “Auntie, you can buy me new clothes in return.”

Esther rolled her eyes mockingly behind Kilborn and quickened her pace!

Esther followed the sign to the shopping area for women. She planned to buy a T-shirt and jeans, but suddenly Serena’s words flashed across her mind.

Esther looked at her clothes. She was in a flouncing shirt and slacks. Her clothes were far from being fashionable and beautiful. No wonder Serena always laughed at her. Esther worked in the fashion industry, but she always dressed like a country bumpkin.
