Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Am I going to live in this unhappy marriage for my parents?” she was confused.

Terence left, and this time he left for another night.

After a day of complicated and uneasy emotions, Esther felt that she was about to lose her nerve.

She was afraid that Terence would suddenly appear in front of her and casually throw her a divorce agreement. Fortunately, this kind of scene did not appear for the whole day, and she did not even see the divorce agreement.

She was slightly relieved. After dinner, she looked at the dark Parasol Tree Garden and felt a sense of desolation.

‘Is Terence going to spend the night with that woman again?

It is said that the more a couple quarreled, the more hurt they got. Besides, I and Terence had no feelings yet, and we had already quarreled like this. It would be strange if he came back!’

Esther woke up early in the morning.

Looking at her haggard appearance in the mirror, she was almost frightened.

In order to prevent others from seeing what was on her mind, she put on a light makeup to look more energetic.

When she went downstairs, she happened to see Amanda coming out of the bedroom. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked politely, “Amanda, is Anne all right now?”

Without a divorce, she was still a member of the Gibson family, and if she wanted to survive in the Gibson family, the most basic skill was to tolerate all injustice.

Amanda snorted and mocked, “Do you still care about Anne?”

“Of course. Anne is my sister and will soon be my niece’s wife. Of course, I have to care about her.”

“Hypocritical.” Amanda glanced at her and walked towards the dining hall.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Everyone was still present at the table, except for Terence.

Esther glanced at the empty seat, silently sat down in her seat, and began to lower her head to eat breakfast.

Gill suddenly asked, “Where’s Terence? Did he go on a business trip again?”

“Yes.” Clark flipped through the newspaper in his hand as he sipped the milk. His tone was calm and indifferent. “I asked him to go to City Y with Horne for a meeting and familiarize himself with the new development mode in the country.”

“It’s important to get familiar with the company’s business, but you can’t always send him out. He just flew back from City N yesterday morning and you asked him to go to City Y in the afternoon. Do you really think he can take it?” Gill said with a worried tone.

Sarah continued with a smile, “Yeah, grandpa, Uncle Terence is a patient. Wouldn’t it be too tiring?” She specifically emphasized the word patient, obviously deliberately for Esther to hear.

However, Esther did not have any emotional fluctuations because of her intentional actions, for her attention was still on Gill’s words.

“Since he has decided to enter the company to help, he can’t be afraid of hardship and exhaustion. I’ve already told Terence this many times.” Clark said seriously.

Gill nodded and did not speak.

Esther looked at Gill and could not help but ask, “Mom, what did you just say? Terence went on a business trip last night?”

“Don’t you know?”

“He didn’t tell me.”

“You…!” Gill glared at her. “I told you before that you should always care about the whereabouts of your husband. But you didn’t even know that he went to the City N on a business trip.”

Esther was a little embarrassed from being blamed. At the same time, she was a little surprised. It turned out that Terence was on a business trip instead of spending the night with other women. She misunderstood him.

When she thought of how she had argued with him last night and said that he did not return home the night before yesterday to accompany other women, she felt a little guilty.

To her surprise, Terence actually did not refute her at that time. That was how misunderstandings were formed. One refused to say one and the other refused to listen.

But if she had misunderstood him last night and the night before last night, but the ambiguous call that Terence pressed on her to answer was definitely not a misunderstanding. Because she heard the woman say that she missed him and called him out late at night.

Thinking of that pampered young lady, she suddenly felt upset again.

…

Terence went on a business trip this time, stayed in City Y for three days before returning to City R, and once he returned to City R, he went to work.

After calculating the time, Esther thought she had not seen him for four days. When she heard Gill say that he would come back today, she was actually a little happy.

What made her even happier was that Terence actually returned to the Gibson’s for dinner. Although it was Clark who specially asked him to come back for dinner, he was back after all. She could see him.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the two of them met again in the dining hall of the Gibson’s.

Probably because both of them were still angry, they didn’t say much other than necessary greetings.

While eating, Clark smiled and said to Terence, “A few days ago, your mother said that I pushed you too hard. I thought about it later and realized that it was indeed a little too hard. Of course, you still have to be more diligent and serious at work. What I feel guilty about is that you just returned and you just got married to Esther. It is a little too cruel for me to force you to fly around like this.”

Terence said in a serious manner, “Dad, I am very honored that you are so diligent in training me. A man should focus on his career. I am willing to tire myself out.”

“You’re right, but men don’t just have the career. It’s also important to have a harmonious family. You and Esther don’t have any emotional foundation. If you are so busy, Esther will feel upset.”

Esther, who had been called out, was stunned for a moment. She quickly raised her head and said to Clark, “Dad, don’t worry. A man should focus on his career. No matter what Terence does, I will support him. I will definitely not feel upset.”

After saying that, she quickly glanced at Terence, meeting his gaze. She quickly lowered her head to continue eating.

Gill, who had been silent all this time, also said, “Terence is hardworking, and Esther is considerate. We are very pleased that you think so. However, it is not worth it if you ignore your relationship because of work. Don’t you think so?”

“That’s right. How can you give me a grandson without a harmonious relationship?” Clark nodded with a smile.

Hearing their words, Esther unconsciously blushed.

Clark seemed to like bringing this up especially. He had mentioned it in front of her, but now he actually mentioned it in front of Terence.
