Love Is a Sweet Addiction

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Terence, but on second thought, she doubted now he only cared about his sweetheart, forgetting she was his wife.

After leaving her room that night, he did not look at her again, nor did he say a word to her. They were like strangers.

In the end, she called Serena. When Serena heard that she had been robbed downstairs in the company, she cursed the robbers and comforted her. “Sit there and wait. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Serena was a very straightforward and reliable friend. As soon as she hung up the phone, Serena left her friends and walked out of the KTV. But as she walked, she suddenly thought that Esther now had a husband. She had been robbed by someone, but her husband was indifferent to it. He was too heartless!

She took out her phone from her bag and dialed Terence’s number.

…

Esther sat by the roadside, her eyes glazing over as she watched the cars passing by on the road.

After calming down and thinking about it, she felt that she had been quite unlucky recently. First, her boyfriend had been taken away by Anne, and then she married a temperamental man.

Not only did she have to work overtime to design a wedding dress for Anne, but she also encountered a robbery for the first time in her life.

She felt that she must have committed many crimes to encounter so many hardships in this life.

She was too absorbed in her emotions to notice that a familiar car suddenly parked in front of her.

Terence, who was inside the car, looked at her from afar through the glass. Under the night sky, she sat like a statue at the side of the flowerbed, one hand covering the wound on her forehead, her eyes dull and lifeless. No one knew what she was thinking.

He had seen her elegant, charming, scheming, stubborn and unyielding appearance… This was the first time he had seen her in such a sorry state.

“If you sit here like this, aren’t you afraid that others will come back and snatch you away?” A mocking voice sounded from above.

Esther was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and her eyes gradually became charred.

The first thing she saw was two long and straight legs wrapped in dark blue trousers, then a familiar body, a familiar handsome face, and the familiar car behind the man…

“Why would he suddenly appear here? Shouldn’t he be accompanying his sweetheart now? Shouldn’t he… Could this be a dream again?” she wondered.

“Why are you here?” She stared at him in a daze and asked.

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you? Why didn’t you call me directly when you were injured? Why did you call me through someone else?” Terence asked indifferently.

“I didn’t…”

“Didn’t you?” Terence frowned. That was even worse.

“I called Serena and she said that she would come to pick me up.” Esther whispered, “Why would Serena call you?”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

“Because…” Esther looked at him again. “Shouldn’t you be accompanying your lover at this time?”

“Well, she is jealous!” he thought.

Feeling his mockery, Esther felt embarrassed and quickly changed her words. “No matter what, thank you for coming here.”

Terence curled his lips. “Get up.”

Esther stood up from the flowerbed. Probably because she had been sitting for too long, her body shook unconsciously. Terence quickly helped her up and sized her up. “Other than your head, where else are you injured?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“No more.” Esther shook her head.

“Let’s go. Get in the car.” Terence took her into the car.

After the car drove on the road for a while, Esther found that the car was not going in the direction of Gibson’s. She turned her head and stared at him, asking, “Where are we going?”

“Let’s go to the hospital to treat the wound on your forehead.” The man stared fixedly at the road ahead.

“There’s no need. It’s just a small scratch.” Esther raised her hand and touched the wound on her forehead. It was indeed very painful when she fell, but it was no longer painful now.

She suddenly realized that the last time she was at the entrance of the hotel, it seemed that it was also the same position. It was the first time she met Terence, and it was also him who sent her to the hospital, which even caused a misunderstanding.

She didn’t even recognize her husband. She thought she was probably the only one in the world who was so stupid.

Terence did not listen to her, but continued to drive according to his own wishes.

The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Esther knew that it was useless to say anything, so she obediently unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car to walk into the hospital.

When the doctor was treating her wound, Terence suddenly asked, “Have you called the police?”

“Call the police?” Esther shook her head and said, “I just lost a phone and several thousand. The police won’t care about a small amount of money, so… I think it’s better to forget about it, so that I don’t have to waste time to make a statement.”

Terence thought it was true and didn’t say anything more.

After treating the wound in the hospital, Terence took her directly back to the Gibson’s.

In order to prevent others from seeing the injury on her forehead, Esther deliberately put down her bangs. Fortunately, everyone returned to their rooms when she went back.

The two of them went upstairs one after another. Esther came to her bedroom and turned around to stare at him. “Thank you for tonight.”

Although Terence did not like her to speak to him in such an alienated tone, he did not show it. He only lightly warned, “Remember not to wet the wound.”

“I know. Good night, Terence.” Esther said and went into the house.

Leaning against the door, she looked up and took a deep breath. Then, she tilted her head to listen for any movements outside the door. When she heard his footsteps gradually fade away, she actually felt lonely bit by bit.

She wanted him to leave, but she also wanted him to stay. She really wanted to change her conflicted feelings.

The next morning, Meadow came in with a phone sealed in a plastic bag and said it was for Esther.

Esther suspiciously took the phone and asked, “Who asked you to give me this?”

“Mr. Terence asked me to give it to you.”

“Was Terence so nice? He bought me a new mobile phone so quickly. And we came back together last night. It was already very late. Where could he buy me a mobile phone?” she wondered.

She took the phone out of the sealed plastic bag. At first glance, she felt that the phone looked familiar. She checked the back of the phone and found that the sticker was also very familiar. Only then did she realize that the phone was her own!

That night, in order to follow James and Anne, she accidentally barged into his bedroom and bumped into him, who was currently ill. Later, when she escaped, she dropped her phone in his room.

Later on, this matter was never mentioned. Neither was her phone. She thought that it was picked up by a servant. Unexpectedly…

She suddenly realized something. Did Terence know that she had accidentally barged into his bedroom that night and witnessed the process of his illness?
