Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Looking at his expression, Terence knew that he was certain that there was something between him and Lila. Although Terence felt a little annoyed, he could not blame him. He just said lightly, “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Horne. Go home.”

“Thank you, Mr. Terence.” Mr. Horne glanced at Terence and Shaw again, and tactfully left.

Looking at Mr. Horne walking out, Shaw shrugged her shoulders, “Looking at Mr. Horne’s expression at the end. Did he think that we have an improper relationship?”

“If he thinks so, let him go.”

“Of course you can let him go, but I can’t. I have to get married.” Shaw walked to the sofa facing Terence and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water to drink and looked at him. “Besides, aren’t you afraid that Master Gibson will think that you are busy flirting with women all day and not doing your job?”

Terence smiled in ridicule. Clark had proposed that he take Esther out to watch a movie and eat. Wasn’t it because he listened to other people’s slander?

Seeing that Terence did not speak, Miss Young continued, “Well, what are you going to do with that woman, Lila? She is a superstar, and every bit of her life has been tracked by paparazzi. If the media one day finds out about you two, it will be a great harm to you.”

Terence knew this, so from beginning to end, he was extremely careful in dealing with it.

“How could there be such a shameless woman in the world?” Miss Young could not help but complain, “She knows you already have a wife, and she still sticks to you like a bee seeing flowers. With her beauty and fame, and such a good family background, she can choose any family she wants. Why is she so persistent?”

“But… you marriage is indeed a bit hasty. If it wasn’t for the fact that you were already married, a woman with such a beautiful background like Lila would really be quite suitable for you. Not to mention herself, just the support of the Yang family can help you a lot.”

“So? Are you fanning me for a divorce?” Terence lightly said.

Miss Young shook her hand. “No… I was just saying it casually. How could I dare to talk about your marriage?”

Seeing that he was still looking at her coldly, Miss Young could only add, “Actually, Miss Esther is quite good. Although she doesn’t have a powerful backer like the Yang family, her character is better than that of Lila, and she is smart and polite. She gives people a very comfortable feeling.”

Seeing that the man’s tense lips had finally eased up, Miss Young was finally relieved.

It seemed that if she wanted to please Mr. Terence in the future, she had to praise Esther more…

…

Esther raised the cup in her hand up and said with her sleepy eyes, “What fruit juice is this? Why does it feel like sleeping pills?”

“This is fruit wine, idiot!” Serena raised her cup and took a sip. “It’s a new product. I think it tastes good.”

“Fruit wine? No wonder the more I drink, the more I want to drink.” Esther used both hands to pat her cheeks. “I seem to have drunk a lot. Will I get drunk?”

“No, don’t worry and drink it.” Serena poured another cup into her cup. Linsay quickly reached out and pressed the back of her hand, whispering, “Serena, what are you doing? You clearly know that the Gibson family is very strict, but you still let Esther drink.”

“It’s nothing. It’s just fruit wine.” Serena smiled and picked up the cup and took another sip. “I’m fine even after drinking so much.”

It was just fruit wine, Esther thought the same. However, she still overestimated her alcohol resistance and thought that fruit wine would not affect her.

When she received Terence’s call, she found that she actually didn’t even have the strength to get up, and her entire cheek was as hot as if it was on fire.

Terence, who was on the other side of the line, heard something strange from her voice. He frowned and asked, “Are you drinking wine?”

“No, I’ve been drinking fruit juice.” Esther shook her head.

“It’s fruit wine.” Serena deliberately leaned over her microphone and said, “Terence, your wife is drunk. Hurry up and bring her back.”

“You are the one who is drunk.” Esther glared at her.

“Look at how hot your face is.” Serena smiled and touched her cheeks with her hand.

Yes, her face was indeed very hot. Esther touched her hot face and neck with her palm, but wasn’t this because the temperature of the air conditioner was too high?

“Esther.” Serena put a hand on her shoulder and smiled, coaxing, “Haven’t you always been curious about whether Terence has a lover outside? Was he seduced away by his lover tonight? Then use the alcohol to ask him boldly. If he was a man, he would tell you the truth, okay?”

“What if he doesn’t tell the truth?” Esther reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes and muttered.

“Not telling the truth? Then he’s not a man!” Serena slapped the table.

Linsay gestured to the two of them to keep quiet. “Terence is here.”

Esther opened her eyes and saw Terence walking over.

She shook her head hard. She clearly didn’t feel uncomfortable. How could she be drunk? Could it be that the intoxication of fruit wine was different from the intoxication of red wine?

“Hi… Terence, long time no see.” Serena waved her hand at Terence and Linsay echoed, “Good evening, Terence.”

Terence glanced at everyone. When his gaze fell on Esther, his brows unconsciously furrowed. “You guys drank?”

“It’s not wine. It’s juice. Look.” Esther raised her cup in front of Terence and smiled. “Look, it’s juice. It’s very tasty…”

Terence looked down at the juice in her cup. The faint smell of wine assailed his nostrils, and his handsome brows furrowed even tighter.

This fruit wine tasted like fruit juice, and it was very sweet and tasty, but it was still quite strong.

“Don’t tell me you can’t even differentiate between juice and fruit wine?” Terence turned to Serena and Linsay. “The two of you can’t tell?”

Linsay said apologetically, “We…”

Serena interrupted her at this time and glared at Terence. “Esther is in a bad mood. What’s wrong with drinking some fruit wine? What’s wrong with getting drunk? Shouldn’t she? Terence, if you really care about Esther, you shouldn’t have left her behind and gone to have fun.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Terence’s face darken, Esther quickly placed her finger on her lips. “Serena, you don’t understand. I was the one who asked Terence to do his own things. It was me…”
