Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Anne deliberately raised her voice and waved the paper in front of Esther, “Did you see that? This is the pregnancy test result that the doctor personally gave me. The baby is fine.”

Esther glanced at the paper in Anne’s hand. Although she was not familiar with it, judging from the name and the signature of the doctor, it was obviously true.

It had been more than a month since they were in Randall City, and Anne and James were in love, it was normal that Anne got pregnant.

“James, you’re here.” Anne intimately held James’s arm and said with a smile, “Esther said I faked being pregnant. Don’t you think it’s funny?”

James looked at Esther and sneered, “You can’t accept the truth?”

“Esther has always been unable to accept the fact that we are together, and naturally cannot accept the fact that I have been pregnant. Let’s forgive her.” Anne said generously and turned to Esther, “Esther, wish you good luck too. If you give Terence nutritional supplements every day, you will also get pregnant soon.”

Anne had already seen the paper in Esther’s hands. The name on it was Esther’s friend Serena rather than herself. Therefore, Esther was not pregnant. She was only accompanying Serena to see a doctor.

“Thank you, I will.” Esther smiled at them, “And congratulations to you.”

“You are welcome.” Anne raised her head and smiled at James, “Darling, let’s go.”

After they left, Esther couldn’t stand it anymore and shrugged her shoulders. She couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

She could not accept the fact that they were together, nor could she accept the fact that Anne was pregnant?

To be honest, she really couldn’t accept the fact that Anne was pregnant, which meant that once Anne married into the Gibson family, she would be able to overshadow Esther and bully Esther as she once did in the Cusack family.

She knew that with Anne’s temperament, even if there was no contract, she would definitely find another way to marry into the Gibson family.

Now that Anne was pregnant with the fourth generation’s eldest grandson of the Gibson family, how could Amanda, who liked to compete for power, let go of such a good opportunity?

Esther shook her head, stopped thinking nonsense in her mind, and quickly went to the cashier’s.

…

In the evening, Esther returned to the Gibson’s after work. When she entered, she felt that it was full of joy, especially Amanda whose face was twisted by her smile.

Esther did not think too much and greeted Amanda as usual, “Hi.”

As for Sarah, who was beside Amanda, Esther only glanced at her without greeting her.

After all, in terms of seniority, Esther was Sarah’s elder. Sarah had always been arrogant and did not put her in the eye. There was no need for Esther to please Sarah.

Unexpectedly, Amanda, who had always ridiculed her, smiled and replied to her for the first time, “Hi, you’re back.”

“Yes, I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes.” Esther nodded at Amanda and walked upstairs.

Sarah watched as Esther disappeared from the spiral staircase before she said with an evil smile on her face, “Mom, do you think Esther would be furious if she knew that Anne was pregnant?”

“Who cares? If she was jealous, she can also have one.” Amanda turned in the direction of the second floor and picked up a piece of fruit with a small fork.

During dinner, Amanda happily announced the good news to everyone that James’s girlfriend was pregnant!

Then almost everyone at the table was stunned and looked up at her.

Amanda was obviously very satisfied with the effect she created. She continued to smile, “Dad, Gill, are you surprised too? I just got the news.”

Clark and Gill looked at each other and asked, “Why is it so sudden?”

“It’s not. She’s already two months pregnant.” Amanda glanced at James, who was next to her, with a reproachful gaze. “It’s all James’s fault to keep it a secret from us.”

“Why did you hide such good news from us?” Clark finally smiled.

Although this happened all of a sudden, and Clark did not quite agree that his son had just married the daughter of the Cusack family, and then his grandson also married the daughter of the Cusack family. But it was a good thing that the Gibson family was expanding, so he was quite happy.

James smiled and said, “Anne didn’t want me to tell you. She didn’t want others to think that she married into the Gibson family because of her pregnancy and didn’t want to be criticized by others. Moreover, you didn’t agree with our marriage. However, seeing that Anne’s belly is growing bigger, I had to say it.”

“You fools.” Amanda continued to smile and rebuke, “Your grandfather didn’t agree because your uncle just got married while you are also in a hurry to get married. Since Anne is pregnant, you and Anne have to get married as soon as possible.”

After that, she turned to the two elders and asked, “Am I right?”

Gill smiled, “Yes, since you already have a baby, we can’t delay the marriage anymore.”

“That’s right, we can’t let our baby suffer.” Clark also said.

“Terence, what about your opinion? Do you have any suggestions?” Amanda suddenly looked at Terence and Esther who had been silent and asked symbolically.

They did not expect to be asked, so they raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Terence smiled, “Of course I agree.”

“What about you, Esther?” Amanda continued to ask.

Esther glanced at everyone and found that they were all looking at her, and the ones with the strongest emotions were naturally Terence who was sitting next to her, and James who was opposite her.

James was her ex-boyfriend and Terence was her current husband. If she did not answer properly, they would definitely misunderstand her, so she must carefully think about the answer!

“Is this question difficult to answer?” Sarah asked maliciously.

Her slight silence, coupled with Sarah’s intentional action, Terence, who was at the side, was indeed displeased, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

Esther knew that Sarah did it on purpose, so she smiled and said, “This question is not difficult to answer, and it seems that there is no need to ask for my opinion. As long as Dad, Mom, and Sister-in-law do not have any objections, it will be fine.”

“It seems that you’re right.” Amanda smiled and immediately said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to accompany me to the Cusack family to send the betrothal gifts tomorrow.”

Esther tightened her grip on the chopsticks, feeling a little speechless.

Amanda wanted her to send the betrothal gifts with her?
