Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Amanda smiled in satisfaction and praised, “That’s right. You two should understand each other like this. As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth.”

“Yes, thank mom for these days, I’ve realized how ignorant I was in the past.” Anne rested her head on James’s shoulder and continued, “James, from now on, I will try my best to be a good and considerate wife. Trust me, okay?”

James was frightened by her behavior”. He raised his hand and touched her forehead. “Are you alright?”

“Hum,” Anne pouted and pushed his hand down.

“To be honest, if you don’t mess with me for a day now, I’m not used to it.” James raised his lips mockingly.

“Then I will let you get used to it slowly.” Anne raised her little face and kissed him on the chin. When she lowered her head, she secretly gritted her teeth.

If not for the fact that the child in her belly was not the flesh and blood of the Gibson family, would she never curry favor with him so much? How could it be possible that she pretended nothing had happened despite knowing that James had had lunch with another woman this afternoon?

What she had to do now was to please James, Amanda, and everyone in the Gibson family, so as to leave a way out for herself.

“By the way, after being interrupted by you, I almost forgot about my business.” Anne sat up and looked at Amanda. “Mom, guess what I heard at Grandma’s place?”

“Huh. She was just calculating how to get Terence back to the headquarters. What else could it be?” Amanda was looking at the documents that James had brought back and looked up at her as she said.”

“I finally understand why Grandpa sent Uncle Terence so far away. Punishing Esther for attacking me at the wedding and helping me vent my anger was just an excuse. The real reason is that they are all suspecting Uncle Terence is not a Gibson.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“What did you say?” Amanda was stunned and put down the document in her hand.

James was also stunned. He asked, “Why is it related to Uncle Terence again?”

Seeing how shocked they were, Anne smiled proudly. “It seems that Grandpa and Grandma kept this a secret. Even Mom doesn’t know.”

“You mean… Clark is suspecting that Terence is not his son?” Amanda asked.

“That’s right, I heard that from Grandma. Grandma said Uncle Terence and Esther refused to take a paternity test. They must be guilty.” Anne tried her best to organize the information she had just heard.

Amanda paused for a moment and nodded. “No wonder!”

“Mom, don’t tell me you think so too?” Anne asked.

Amanda pondered for a moment, then said, “I only know that Terence’s mother once had a relationship with Russell, founder of the Anetly Group. If Terence is not a descendant of the Gibson family, then he must be from the Anetly family.”

After hearing Amanda’s words, Anne unconsciously placed her palm on her lower abdomen. She could not help but feel a little speechless. She thought to herself, Isn’t the Anetly family and the Gibson family too fated? She was now pregnant with the Anetly family’s child. If Terence was also an Anetly…

When she thought that Terence might not be a Gibson, she could not help but feel excited.

She was still wondering why Esther was always so lucky and was very worried because Esther would give birth earlier than her. Now, it seemed that even if Esther was pregnant with Terence’s child, the baby might not have the Gibson family’s blood.

Heaven was indeed fair and would not allow a person to be lucky all the time!

“If Uncle Terence were not a Gibson, grandpa would have known about it during the past thirty years. How could he only start to suspect now?” Compared with the two women who were now gloating, James was much more rational. He glanced at them and said, “I think you shouldn’t be too excited. What if it isn’t the case?”

“Whether it is true or not, we will know when the results of the test come out.” Anne sneered, “Esther probably has never thought of it. She thought marrying Terence could humiliate and take revenge on us, but actually, her husband is not a Gibson. I guess, she would probably be heartbroken to death, right?”

“Why are you so petty?” James glared at Anne in annoyance.

Anne was so angry that she almost wanted to argue with him again, but she immediately held back when she thought of the baby.

She must control her emotions before completely gaining a foothold in the family.

“If Terence is really not a Gibson, obviously James is the only heir. That will spare us a lot of time and energy!” Amanda said with a smile.

She would rather believe that Terence was not a Gibson and hoped that he was not!

…

The plane landed at City R International Airport at the right time.

Walking out of the airport and facing the clear sky, Miss Young sighed, “City R, I am finally back! It feels like I have returned to my mother’s embrace after leaving home for a long time!”

After that, she turned around and said to the two behind her, “Of course, the most important thing is to congratulate the two of you for finally returning home!”

“Thank you, Miss Young. Thank you for your hard work.” Esther raised her head to look at Terence and said with a smile, “Terence, are you going to double the salary of Miss Young since she has been so toilsome?”

Terence smiled. “Of course.”

Miss Young said, “Forget about the bonus. Mr. Terence now needs to care more about himself. It won’t be too late to pay me double after you have a stable job. I will be very glad to accept your offer then.”

Miss Young waved her hand at them. “My friend has come to pick me up. I’ll go first. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye, Miss Young.” Esther waved her hand.

“Let’s go.” After Miss Young left, Terence led Esther to the waiting area in another direction where the car arranged by Gill was already there.

“I feel that Miss Young is quite a nice person.” After getting into the car, Esther said.

Terence smiled. “Of course, not everyone can meet my high standards.”

“It’s rare to meet such a woman who only cares about work and is not trying to hit on you.” Esther nodded. “If I were a man, I would also like such a sensible woman.”

This was also the reason why Terence chose Miss Young to be his assistant. It spared him much trouble.

The car drove them directly to the old house of the Gibson. When they entered the gate, they saw Gill standing at the door from afar. When Gill saw the car driving in, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
