Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“A scheme?” Esther murmured, then giggled, “Because I want to have a baby … I want to help you. Anne is pregnant, James is going to be a father, we must hurry up …”

A simple sentence from Esther made Terence’s face darken.

Terence thought, ‘Sure enough, this woman’s unusual behavior tonight is a trick, and her trick is to conceive my child as soon as possible because she does not want to lag behind Anne and James.’

Terence believed that he was just the instrument of Esther’s revenge on Anne and James all along!

…

Probably because she was worn out last night, Esther slept all the way until dawn.

Although the night passed, Esther’s overindulged body was still in pain. Thinking of the crazy sex last night, Esther looked at the sexy pajamas scattered under the bed, and could not help but blush.

Esther adjusted to the discomfort a little bit, she sat up in bed, then got up to take a shower in the bathroom.

Esther felt much better after the bath and stood in front of the mirror, imagining that in a month she might become a pregnant woman. She felt a little expectant.

Once a woman decided to be a mother, the glory of motherhood over her shone brightly, and so did Esther.

Esther thought Terence had gone to work, but as she walked out of her bedroom, she caught the smell of baking bread.

She walked into the kitchen suspiciously and saw that Terence was making breakfast.

This was the first time Terence had made breakfast!

“You’re up?” Terence smiled at her. He brought the toast to the table and said, “Did you brush your teeth? Then come and have breakfast.”

“You are making breakfast?”

“No, that’s why we only have toast and milk for breakfast.” Terence pointed to the chair opposite him. “Have a seat.”

It was only toast and milk, but Esther was delighted that it was Terence’s first time to make breakfast. Esther sat down on the chair opposite him, picked up a piece of bread, and began to eat.

“How is it?” he asked gently.

She nodded and praised, “It’s good.”

“Drink some milk.” Terence handed her a prepared glass of milk.

“Thank you.” Esther took the milk and drank it.

“Drink it all. Don’t waste.” Terence said.

“You too.” Esther pointed at the milk beside his hand.

Terence smiled and took a sip of milk.

Terence didn’t mention the night before, and Esther certainly wouldn’t. Because it wasn’t something worth talking about to her anyway, and it was best not to mention it.

Esther was about to finish her glass of milk, and she suddenly raised her glass, frowned, and asked, “Why does this milk taste so strange? New product?”

“Strange? That’s right.”

“Why?” Esther looked at him in confusion.

“Because I added something inside.”

“What?”

“A birth control pill.” Terence finally looked at her and saw Esther’s smile fade into a startled expression. He watched her fingers clench the glass, then drop it with a sudden thud on the table.

The glass fell on the table with a harsh sound, and the remaining milk spilled out.

“What’s the matter?” The man didn’t even change his expression as he continued to stare at her.

The warmth in Terence’s expression disappeared the moment the glass dropped, replaced by his constant ruthlessness.

The atmosphere here froze at this moment.

After a long while, Esther asked in a trembling voice, “Why?”

“Why?” Terence looked at her with disdain and asked, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you? Why are you in such a hurry to have my child? Why are you using such despicable methods on me?”

Esther tried to say something, but the feeling of tightness in the chest made her almost suffocate…

Terence had seen through her scheme, and he had indeed treated her as a shameless woman. That was the last thing she wanted!

“How did you know?” In shock, Esther asked such a silly question.

“Is it hard to read your mind? Didn’t you behave strangely enough last night?” Terence sneered back. “Esther, you’ve been resisting me from the beginning, refusing to let me near you. How can you take the initiative to buy sexy pajamas for me, buy that essential oil?”

Esther was tongue-tied, unable to explain at all.

“You need a drink of courage to have sex with me. Do you forget we’re married? Or is there no marriage in your mind?”

Esther didn’t know what to do. After a moment of silence, she looked up at him and asked, “If I tell you that I wanted a child, will you give it to me?”

“No!” He answered without thinking.

“Then that’s it.” Esther forced a smile. “You won’t give it, I want it, so I have to shamelessly do it myself.”

“What’s the difference between you and a despicable woman like Lila or Anne?”

“Everyone is trying to survive. What’s wrong with being mean and scheming for your love?” Esther finally looked up and boldly stared at him. “Anyway, from the beginning you think I am a shameless scheming woman. What’s wrong with my scheming?”

“All you’ve done is for James, right?”

“It has nothing to do with James.”

“Really? Don’t you want to get pregnant just to get back at him and Anne? You just want to compete with him!”

Esther thought about it and nodded. “Yes, I want to get pregnant. Because I want to help you consolidate your position in the Gibson Group and get you out of Proley. That’s what Lady Gibson means.”

“If you don’t want to stay in Proley, you can go back to City R. I told you that you don’t have to come.”

“Terence you don’t have to understand this, but please don’t misinterpret it, okay? I want to get pregnant … Not just because Lady Gibson and I need to survive, but you do, too. Master Gibson has kicked you out of the Gibson Group. If you don’t figure something out … You’ll never get back.”

“I don’t care. Why do you care?” Terence scoffed. “You want to go back to the Gibson family so bad? So you want a place in it? I can go anywhere under the sun. I don’t care about losing the group.”

‘Yes, he can go anywhere … Maybe I can too. He does not have to fight for a place in the Gibson Group.’ Esther thought and smiled bitterly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

As long as Terence was willing, Esther could go with him anywhere in the world, even if there was no food, no mansion to live in, and no fancy car to drive. However, the more beautiful ideal was, the crueler reality became.

Terence could never put the Gibson Group away. If he had put it away, he wouldn’t have been back at Master Gibson’s mercy.

Esther also couldn’t give up on the Gibson Group. If she lost the Gibson Group as her backer, she could not take her parents away from the Cusack family, let alone revenge on Anne.

So whatever Terence insulted her, she accepted it.
