Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Before leaving, she called Terence to ask if he would come back for dinner.

If Terence didn’t eat at home, she wouldn’t need to cook dinner and could eat something outside.

Terence, who was on the other side of the line, pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s eat outside tonight.”

“To eat outside? Why?” Esther was puzzled.

“Nothing. It’s just that we haven’t gone out for a meal since we came to Proley.”

Esther thought for a moment. She had never eaten with Terence alone outside. Not only in Proley, but it did not happen in City R.

Although she was in a bad mood and had no appetite, it was rare for Terence to be so interested. She did not want to reject him. She smiled and agreed, “Sure, I’m outside.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you outside?” Terence lowered his voice.

Esther explained, “Oh, I just watched a movie and listened to music. I didn’t go far.”

“Why didn’t you invite me to watch a movie and listen to music?”

“You?” Esther was suspicious. “I don’t think you will want to?”

He seemed to have no hobby. Ever since she married him, the only thing Terence cared about was work.

“If you beg me, I might go,” Terence said.

He wanted her to show her charm on him.

“Okay, I will ask you to go with me next time.” Esther looked around. “I’m at Lily Road. Where are we going to eat later?”

“Up to you.”

“But I seldom eat outside. I don’t know what to eat.”

“Don’t you always like to search for restaurants online?” Terence said, “Stay there. Wait for me to pick you up.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Esther sat on a chair at the roadside. She began to search for a place to eat online.

It was rare for her to eat alone with Terence, so she had to be serious. Terence and she could not eat spicy things.

Terence finally chose a French restaurant. Terence was interested in it.

By the time she booked a table, Terence arrived and was waving at her in the car.

Esther walked over and got into the car.

“Have you ordered a place?”

“Yes, Terence, please take a look.” Esther handed the phone to him. “There are only a few good restaurants in Proley, so I chose this one.”

Terence glanced at the address and started the car again. “It doesn’t matter. Just eat something.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

The restaurant was well decorated. Terence chose the signature dishes and ordered a cup of frozen lemonade for Esther.

When Esther heard that he wanted to give her a cold drink, she immediately said, “No, I don’t want the icy one.”

“But the cold lemonade tasted better,” the waiter said politely.

“Then I don’t want the lemonade.”

“What about watermelon juice?”

“No, the watermelon is cold. I don’t want it.”

Terence looked up at her. He remembered that last time in Randall City, she always drank iced lemonade and watermelon juice. At that time, she had a strong body and was not afraid of cold or heat.

Seeing that Terence was suspicious, Esther explained, “Well… I might be having my period soon, so I don’t want to eat anything cold.”

“Didn’t you say you were strong?” Terence raised an eyebrow.

“The period is different.” Esther forced a smile and said to the waiter, “Please give me a cup of room-temperature orange juice, thank you.”

“Okay.” The waiter nodded and asked Terence, “What would you like to drink, sir?”

“Just give him a glass of milk,” Esther answered.

“Okay.” The waiter nodded and left.

Esther looked up and saw the unhappiness on Terence’s face. She said seriously, “I know you want to drink coffee, but drinking too much coffee is not good for your health. From now on, we should take good care of our bodies and only eat healthy foods, okay?”

“Are you sure you can do it?” Terence did not believe her.

He had always been living a healthy diet. He was strict with himself, except for the fact that he had to drink a cup of coffee every day.

“As long as you’re a good example, I can do it,” Esther said.

Even if it were for her baby, she would change her eating habits and live a healthy life.

The food was quickly served, but Esther did not have much appetite.

It was not a side effect of pregnancy. Moreover, she rarely had dinner with Terence outside.

Probably because she was still thinking about the report and didn’t know how to tell Terence about her pregnancy.

“What’s wrong? You don’t have an appetite?” Terence looked at Esther, who was picking the food with a spoon but did not put it into her mouth. “You chose this restaurant.”

“No, I just think of something about work.” Esther smiled at him and began to eat the food on the plate.

After taking a few bites, she suddenly looked up at Terence and said, “By the way, Terence, how is Spring River Estate’s matter going? Are those people still causing trouble?”

“Why are you suddenly concerned about the company?” Terence glanced at her. “So idle.”

“Well, I’m worried that they will attack you again.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t happen.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I have promised them to install all the pipeline systems again until they are satisfied.”

“Wouldn’t that be troublesome? After all, it’s such a big community,” Esther said in surprise.

“What? You also think it’s troublesome?” Terence raised his eyes to look at her. “If you were me, would you ignore it even if you knew there was a problem with your things?”

Esther thought for a moment and shook her head. “No, that’s self-destruction.”

“Then that’s it.” Terence was satisfied with her answer.

Esther thought about it and asked, “What about the remnants of the land acquisition? Have you dealt with them?”
