Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence went up to the second floor and hesitated for a moment before walking towards Esther’s bedroom.

When he knocked on the door and entered, he happened to see Esther busy wiping the tears from her eyes. At the same time, she turned her back to him.

He frowned and strode towards her. A hand grabbed her arm and pulled her over. He glanced at her. “It’s just a dress. Is it so important to you?”

Esther was forced to face him and had nowhere to hide, so she could only lightly say, “The gown is not important. Amanda is right. I can’t use it anyway.”

“Then why didn’t you give it to her?”

“Do you know why Anne wants my dress?” she asked.

Terence’s lips moved slightly. Although he was not very clear about what was going on, he had already guessed the general gist from Amanda’s deliberate words. This was also why he was displeased.

“Because you designed the dress for your wedding with James.”

“It’s good that you know.” Esther did not shy away from mentioning James. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Anne is such a vain and high-profile person. How can she like the wedding dress I designed? From the beginning, she only came for it. Because she knew that the wedding dress was designed for me and James, not only did she snatch James away from me and ask me to arrange a wedding for her, but she also wanted to snatch my wedding dress away. The purpose was to humiliate me…”

She did not continue the rest of the sentence, as if she did not want to continue.

Because she knew that Terence might not understand her. Not only would he not understand, but he would even feel that he refused to give Anne the wedding dress because she had feelings for James.

That was what he had always been thinking.

She lowered her head slightly, not wanting to look at his face to guess his thoughts, thinking that if he wanted to misunderstand, then let him go. It was not the first time anyway.

Terence looked at her. After a long while, he finally said, “If you don’t have feelings for him, how can that humiliate and embarrass you?”

Esther was stunned.

Terence spoke again, “If you don’t want everyone to laugh at you and make Anne secretly proud, then give the dress to her openly, just like how you gave the man to her generously.”

“Of course, your generosity is likely to be faked, and it may be seen through. But it is better than arguing to protect a useless dress like now. What do you think?”

Openly…

Esther looked up to meet Terence’s calm gaze, and she actually wavered a little.

‘That’s right. Since the man is gone and the wedding dress is meaningless, why am I still holding the wedding dress in my arms? Why can’t I give the dress to Anne openly and tell her that I don’t want this wedding dress!

It was the same as when I told her that I no longer wanted James!’

Seeing that she was silent, Terence continued to say, “Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you really can’t bear to part with that dress, you can… keep it.”

After saying this, he gave her one last deep look before turning around and walking towards the bedroom door.

…

In the end, Esther agreed to give up the wedding dress and bring it to the studio to make some changes.

Although she couldn’t wear it, it was her work after all. Of course, she hoped that anyone could be beautiful in it. At least, it wouldn’t disgrace her skills.

Serena crossed her arms and leaned against the table, her tone full of ridicule. “When you sewed this wedding dress, I already reminded you. A man’s heart can easily change. The shelf life of love can’t even last longer than the style of clothes. You didn’t believe it and even passionately designed the wedding dress for yourself. Now you know your mistake?”

“There’s nothing wrong with designing a wedding dress for yourself.” Linsay, who was helping Esther to tidy up her wedding dress, said, “I feel disgusted by Anne. If she doesn’t bully our Esther to death, won’t she be satisfied? She seduced her man, and she even wanted the wedding dress.”

“That woman…” Serena shook her head.

“If it was me, I would have snatched the man and the wedding dress back.” After Linsay finished speaking, she looked at Esther and said, “Esther, don’t tell me you don’t have any such thoughts? Are you willing?”

“If I’m not, what can I do? Won’t I have to obediently give the wedding dress to her?” Esther used a leather ruler to measure her dress. “Alright, stop talking about useless things. Help me change my dress.”

“I won’t help that kind of woman change her wedding dress. How unlucky!” Serena snorted coldly and left with her head held high.

Linsay glanced at Serena’s departing figure and shook her head. “She really has a bad temper.” After that, she asked Esther, “Where do you want to change? I’ll help you.”

“Well… In fact, there is no need to change it. Just improve the details and check the quality.” After all, she had prepared it before and kept it in the warehouse. She was afraid that there would be a problem with the quality of the dress.

“Okay, I got it.” Linsay nodded with a smile. “It’s just a piece of cake. Don’t worry.”

Probably because Terence’s words worked, when she sent the modified wedding dress to Anne, Esther actually did not feel much reluctance and sadness.

After Anne was surprised, she looked at Esther with a puzzled face and laughed, “No way, Esther. I thought you would protect your Love of the Violet. I didn’t expect you to be so generous as to give it up. Have you already forgotten about your romantic past with James?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

As she said this, she did not forget to look up at James, who was beside her, and said with a smile, “James, I didn’t expect Esther to really give me the wedding dress. Esther is really a generous and good woman.”

James looked at Esther and was obviously waiting for her answer.

She gave her the wedding dress so casually, but he was unhappy and wanted to ask if she had forgotten about the romance with him.

Esther smiled and looked at the two of them. “It is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that I forgot. It is just that I no longer care about it. Previously, I always felt that you deliberately took away my wedding dress to humiliate me on purpose. That is why I refused to take out the wedding dress. However, Terence is right. If I no longer have any feelings for James, how can I be humiliated and embarrassed?”
