Love Is a Sweet Addiction

She remembered that it was the voice that came from his phone when Terence angrily pressed her down on the bed and his phone rang.

‘Was the woman who called Terence that night Miss Lila? Or… Did I hear wrongly? Am I overthinking?

Or are the women’s voices on the phone the same?’

“Miss Esther, what happened to you?” The sudden sound pulled her back to reality, and only then did she find that the opposite Lila and Serena were both looking at her.

“I’m sorry. I was just thinking about the draft.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Lila regained her elegant and polite image and said with a smile, “I just said that I am very satisfied with your draft. There is nothing to modify.”

“Really? You don’t need to change at all?” Esther could not believe it. Wasn’t this too easy?

“That’s right.” Lila said, “I fell in love with your design philosophy and style at first sight. I hope to cooperate with you more in the future. Not only the dress, but the clothes I usually wear can be designed by you.”

“No way? Miss Lila, do you want to treat Esther as your own costume designer?” Serena said with a face full of excitement, “You think highly of Esther.”

“Miss Esther, can I?” Lila stared at Esther with anticipation.

Esther hesitated a little and said truthfully, “In fact, in order to design it, I have carefully studied your style. To be honest, I am not good at the style that you like. I am afraid that when the time comes…

“It doesn’t matter. Just draw the style that you think is good. I believe in your taste.” Lila interrupted her with a sincere smile. “I just want to change my image.”

Since Esther could design the clothes that Terence liked, she naturally would not give up easily.

She looked at Esther, who was wearing a professional suit. Although she looked sweet, she couldn’t compare to Lila at all. A touch of disdain flashed through Lila’s heart.

It would be strange if Terence took a fancy to such an ordinary woman!

When she thought that Terence didn’t look at her even though she tried her best, she knew that Terence was picky.

The purpose of accepting the clothes of this small studio was to meet the legendary Mrs. Gibson. However, she let her down.

The only use of this woman now… was to help her design the clothes that Terence liked.

“If this stupid woman knew that the clothes she had designed were used by other women to please her husband, would she be pissed off?” she thought.

…

After Esther finished chatting with Lila, her heart seemed to be suppressed by something. She felt strange.

She was even thinking, ‘Who was the person who called the Lila and the person whom Lila called darling so affectionately? Could it be Terence?

And was the woman who called Terence that night this beautiful and famous Lila?’Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

With this doubt, she returned to the Gibson’s, and there were only women at the table, no men, no Terence.

After all, everyone was busy with work, and there were very few opportunities to go home and eat. It was not the first time like this tonight. Esther comforted herself in her heart.

After dinner, Esther was dragged by Amanda to the living room to discuss the details of the wedding. Feeling that Esther was absent-minded, Amanda directly said to her, “Esther, could it be that you still haven’t let go of James?”

“What?” Esther, who was staring blankly at a list of hotel addresses, raised her head and stared at her.

“Otherwise, why are you absent-minded?”

“What? I’m not. I am just thinking about which hotel is better.” Esther smiled, but she was really speechless. She was clearly thinking of her husband. How could she be absent-minded because of James?

“It would be best if that was the case.” Amanda said coldly, “As you can see, James is about to marry Anne and will soon become a father. Even if you can’t let him go, you will not have the chance.”

“Amanda, you really misunderstood me. My feelings for James are not that deep.” Esther maintained a decent smile. “The man who cheated is like money that fell into a shit pit. It’s a pity not to pick it up, but it’s disgusting to pick it up. But the pity is only temporary, while the disgusting feeling will last forever. So I choose not to pick it up.”

Her precious son was said to be the money that fell into a shit pit. Amanda was unconvinced and snorted coldly. “You make it sound as if Terence has never married before, and will never cheat in the future.”

As soon as she said that, Esther was instantly speechless.

She didn’t care about what happened in the past and didn’t think about it, but in the future… even now he was already flirting with other women.

“Since you say so, I am relieved.” Amanda coldly said, “Of course, I hope that you can really do what you say.”

In fact, in preparation for the wedding, Esther could not help at all, because Amanda would not listen to any of her suggestions and opinions.

When her precious son got married, she naturally wanted to do everything herself. She got Esther involved just to let her see clearly that James and Anne were going to get married, and she had no chance.

After coming out of the living room, Esther saw Meadow coming up from the first floor. She stopped her and asked, “Meadow, is Mr. Terence back?”

“Not yet,” Meadow replied.

Not yet…

Esther looked up at the time on her watch. It was already past ten o’clock. He should be back even if he had to work overtime.

Did he go on a date with his sweetheart?

Thinking of this possibility, she felt strange again.

What made her even more disappointed was that Terence actually did not return overnight!

What did that mean? She did not need to think about what was going on.

The next day was the weekend. Esther was taken by Amanda to the various hotels to watch the venue and test meals. James and Anne also went to Royal Hotel when they were testing their meals.

Esther couldn’t drink wine, but she was asked to drink it one by one under Anne’s deliberate request. After drinking it, she couldn’t take it anymore.

Just as she returned to the lounge to take a good rest, her stomach suddenly became upset. She hurriedly covered her mouth and rushed towards the trash can.

After vomiting, she felt like she was about to collapse. She leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
