Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After a pause, she continued, “I think Terence’s words make sense. If I want to protect my dignity, I shouldn’t hold tight to it. Instead, I should take out the wedding dress openly, just like when I generously gave this man to you. After all … there is no point in keeping useless things with me. What do you think?”

Anne snorted and thought that there was nothing to threaten her because the video was gone, so she handed over the wedding dress under the pressure of the Gibson family.

After hearing Esther’s words, James felt as if his self-esteem had been damaged, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

“Alright, I have already delivered the wedding dress. My task has been completed. I have been a little busy during this period of time. I hope the two of you will show mercy and stop tormenting me. Thank you for your cooperation.” Esther stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave.

However, James suddenly said, “Very busy? Are you busy designing clothes for Lila?”

Esther was slightly surprised and turned to look at him. “How did you know?”

James smiled and did not continue.

Anne also had a mocking expression in her eyes as she replied, “Who doesn’t know that Terence has an affair with Miss Lila? If it wasn’t for the Gibson family keeping the matter between the two of them, with the reputation of Lila, the news would have spread like wildfire!”

Esther was stunned again. Terence had an affair with Lila? She really didn’t know that!

She did doubt it before, but after Terence denied it that night, she had already put down the doubts in her heart. She didn’t expect…

“You really thought you married a good man of the top ten.” Anne deliberately got into James’s arms. She looked at Esther and smiled, “No matter how bad you think of James, at least James won’t secretly raise celebrities outside. This is much more magnanimous than Terence.”

Esther bit her lips. Although she was surprised and confused, she pretended to be calm. “It’s just a rumor. It might not be true. Don’t think about using it to disgust me.”

“Is it a scandal…?” Anne chuckled, “Why don’t you go and smell your man tonight?”

“You are so boring!” Esther glanced at the two indifferently and quickly walked to the gate.

“Wait a minute!” Anne suddenly stopped her. She then took out a list of guests from her bag and handed it to her. “These are the new distinguished guests of the Gibson family. Since you are the organizer of the wedding, you naturally have the responsibility to verify it. Take it.”

Esther lowered her head and glanced at the list she handed over. She raised her hand and took it.

When Doris, who had been waiting outside the door, saw her daughter coming out, she quickly came up to her and grabbed her hand, asking, “Esther, is what they said true? Did Terence really have a relationship with that superstar?”

Esther looked at her mother, whose face was full of worry. She took a deep breath and said, “Mom, why do you believe their nonsense? Terence has been busy familiarizing himself with the company business recently. How can he have time to flirt with the superstar?”

“But what if what they said is true? What are you going to do?”

What if it was true? What should she do? Just divorce him and fulfill their wish?

“It can’t be true. Don’t worry.” She raised her hand and patted the back of her mother’s hand, comforting her without confidence.

In fact, although she said it so firmly, she was not firm at all. After all, she had noticed the matter between Terence and Lila earlier than others…

After the car drove out of the Cusack’s, Esther checked the new list that Anne had just given her and read the names one by one.

When she saw the familiar name at the end, she was stunned, and her fingers that were holding the list tightened a little.

“Lila, why is she on the guest list? Who invited her over?”

Did Anne show her this list because she wanted to let her know that Lila would appear as an honored guest?

She didn’t give up a little bit.

…

The wedding was held in the rooftop garden of Royal Hotel.

Because Royal Hotel occupied a large area, the area of the rooftop was naturally large. Many rich and powerful clans liked to come here to organize activities.

Not only were there luxurious hardware facilities, a swimming pool, and all sorts of software facilities, but even the wedding venue was built in a beautiful and romantic manner.

Esther got up early in the morning and was busy with the wedding. She finally finished her work at the wedding venue. Just when she was about to catch her breath, it was time to welcome the guests.

She welcomed the guests as the head of the family and appeared as the wife of Terence. Naturally, she had to dress up.

“Madam, what do you think of this gown?” The stylist asked, holding up a light blue, tugging long gown.

Esther looked at the dress and was about to shake her head when a mocking voice suddenly sounded at the door of the dressing room. “Why would you dislike such a beautiful dress? Do you want to wear the same wedding dress as me?”

Esther turned around and saw Anne standing at the door in a pink and purple wedding dress, looking at her mockingly.

“Auntie should know that because Terence just came back from abroad, many people have not seen him and want to take this opportunity to see him. As for his wife who was not liked, you’ll arouse the curiosity of the outside world. Everyone must be waiting to see your face, so if you don’t want to lose face for yourself and Uncle Terence, then do your part on this day. This is a kind reminder from me.”

Anne dragged a few steps forward with the long dress. She picked up the gown in the stylist’s hand, glanced at it, and then cast it aside. “It’s better not to wear such an eye-catching dress.”

Esther originally did not plan to wear this dress, because she did not need Anne to remind her that other than the bride and groom, the most eye-catching person today should be Terence, the fourth master who was rumored to have a strange disease and had never appeared in public before, and was not very well-liked by the family.

Even for Terence, she would dress up appropriately and generously.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

After sending the stylist to bring over the gown she had picked earlier, Esther couldn’t help but say when she saw that Anne still hadn’t left. “You’ve already said what you need to say. Why are you still here?”

Anne was not angry. Her lips curved. “Of course I’m here to show you this wedding dress on me.”

While speaking, she raised her hands and made a small turn in front of her.
