Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Yes, I drank some.” James swallowed his saliva. His gaze still locked on her sexy body.

She was looking forward to him drinking more, so that it would be convenient for her to carry out the next plan.

“No wonder you’re covered in the fragrance of wine. But I like it.” She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, her movements extremely seductive.

Although James was drunk and had the urge to pounce on her, his reason told him that she was pregnant. He could not hurt his child because of impulse.

In order to extinguish the raging fire in his body, he deliberately changed the topic. “Didn’t you go to talk about the contract with Tyler today? How did it go?”

Anne was alert. She secretly observed his expression. At this time, he actually asked about the cooperation. Did he already know about her relationship with Tyler? Did Esther already send him the video?

No. If so, he would not have come back so calmly. He would come back with a knife.

She could not panic and ruin her plan because of her guilty conscience.

“It went smoothly. Mr. Tyler has promised to reply to me tomorrow morning.” She smiled enchantingly and said, “Mr. Tyler is quite easy to talk to, probably because he also wants to show himself in front of Mr. Russell.”

“Really?” James was delighted.

Anne nodded. Although there was basically no hope for the contract, she could not show it at this time to save James’s interest.

“James, it’s late. Go take a shower and sleep early.” She once again stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips, successfully raising the flames of desire that he had suppressed with great difficulty.

She understood him and his body too well. It was not difficult to flirt with him!

Sure enough, he completely surrendered and directly pressed her down on the large soft bed.

“If we do this… will the child be influenced?” He asked with the last bit of reason.

“It doesn’t matter. Just be a little gentler.” Anne tempted him.

Her words made James completely lose his reason, but Anne smiled with relief.

Esther already guessed that her pregnancy was fake. But if she thought she grabbed hold of her weakness and she could completely stop her from being one of the Gibson family, she would be wrong.

So she must hurry to get pregnant with James’s child as soon as possible. When Esther exposed her fake pregnancy, she would make her regret and let the Gibson family know how vicious and unbelievable Esther was!

…

When Esther returned to the hotel, Terence had already returned. Dressed in a sleeping robe, he was sitting by the window, reading documents with his laptop.

“You’re back.” Esther stood by the door and looked at him.

“Where did you go?” Terence asked without raising his head.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I went out for a walk.” Esther closed the door and walked towards him. “How are the preparations for the negotiations going?”

“Nothing much.”

“What does that mean?” Esther was slightly startled. Did something change? She carefully sized Terence up. No wonder his expression didn’t look good.

Terence put his laptop away, got up and walked over to her, looking down at her with a faint mocking gaze. “Ms. Amanda, I’m afraid that your precious painting will be in vain. And everything that you carefully designed yesterday will be lost.”

“Why?” Esther asked.

“I heard that Anne has reached an agreement with Tyler.” When Terence heard Miss Young tell him this news, he felt quite shocked. He had thought of all kinds of accidents, but he did not expect that Anne would use a very special method.

However, since Anne had this kind of ability, he did not seem to have anything to say.

“Well…” Esther nodded. She was not too surprised.

In Terence’s opinion, the one who wanted to take this land the most was Esther. Unexpectedly, after hearing this news, not only did she not become flustered, but she looked very calm, as if this was not a problem for her at all.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her in confusion. “You’re not sad?”

“I’m not sad.” Esther shook her head.

“Why?”

“It’s because I have the ability to counter moves with moves.” Esther smiled and said.

Seeing that Terence was suspicious, she took out her phone and showed him the video she had just stolen. “Didn’t Anne just want to use this to take the Fairy Mountain from Tyler? It just so happens that I hit her right in the face, and she will definitely give up on the Fairy Mountain.”

Terence looked at the erotic scene in the video. He felt surprised, and then looked at her. “You took it?”

“That’s right.” Esther felt a little proud, thinking that he should be relieved and grateful to her this time, but she saw a look of disdain in his eyes…

What did he mean? Did he feel that her means were unorthodox? Was he looking down on her?

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, he mocked her, “You two sisters are really… so similar! You are as shameless as her!”

Anne liked to take photos and record secretly. Esther actually also had the same problem!

His words hurt Esther. She did not expect that Terence not only was not grateful to her but also despised her way of doing things.

“I met them by accident and recorded them. I didn’t follow them on purpose…” She explained somewhat anxiously.

Anyone could look down on her, despise her, and hurt her… But he was her husband and the man she admired. How could he think of her like this?

It was normal that he didn’t believe her. After all, no one would believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. She just took a picture of them. Moreover, they were in the room.

Yesterday, he had already categorized her as the kind of woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. Now, it appeared again. It seemed that she would not be able to clear her name whatever she did.

As expected, Terence did not believe her. After staring at her for a moment, he smiled faintly and threw a sentence to her, “No matter what your final goal is, I have to thank you for this time.”

Thank? She could not see any sincerity in his eyes!

What Esther did not understand was that Terence had his dignity. Although he really wanted to take the land of Fairy Mountain, he wanted to take it with his own strength, not relying on women, even if this woman was his new wife.

Seeing him turn around and walk back to the sofa, Esther wanted to speak but stopped.

She felt that she should not have taken the blame so easily and should have explained it to him. But even if she explained, would he believe it?

After all, she had lied to Mr. Russell and had secretly taken a video of Anne and Tyler. It was normal for Terence to despise her and even misunderstand that she had other purposes.
