Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Letting go of you? No!”

Just as Esther tried her best to break free from him, she noticed a familiar woman standing not far away. She stopped struggling and sneered at him, “Terence, aren’t you afraid that Lila will laugh at you for treating a woman so rudely?”

Terence followed her gaze and glanced at the nearby Lila, then he instinctively loosened his hand.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of being teased by Lila, but that he didn’t want to argue with Esther in front of outsiders.

As soon as he released his hand, Esther walked towards the lounge.

Seeing Esther disappear completely, Lila walked over and glanced at Terence. She teased, “I didn’t expect Miss Esther to be so bold as to scheme in such an occasion. It seems that I have to be careful at the awards ceremony in half a month.”

Terence knew she was referring to the wedding dress Esther had personally designed.

Terence withdrew his gaze from the direction Esther disappeared in and glanced at Lila and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Lila. You still can’t reach the point where she wants to scheme against you.”

“What do you mean?” Lila was slightly surprised, and then chuckled, “I just heard that Miss Esther seemed to have misunderstood our relationship.”

Terence gave a self-deprecating smile and said, “She doesn’t even care about me. Why would she care about you?”

All her methods and schemes were not for him, but another man.

Hearing him say this, Lila could not help but feel a little happy. Although she could not understand why Esther was not interested in such an outstanding man, this was indeed good news for her!

She thought she had a chance to be with Terence.

In the bride’s lounge…

Anne looked at the beautiful Lila and smiled bitterly, “I’m sorry to let you see a farce.”

Lila shook her head and said, “Miss Anne! No! I should call you Mrs. Gibson now. I am very grateful that you invited me to attend the feast of the Gibson family. Why would I laugh at you?”

Anne looked at Lila. Such a popular star was here because of her invitation. It was obvious that many kissed the baby for the nurse’s sake. She decided to use Lila to take revenge on Esther.

Because she lost face on stage this morning, she was in a bad mood for most of the day. At such an important moment of such an important day, she should have been happy, but the good mood was ruined by Esther.

How could she let Esther go? How could she not take revenge on Esther?

She smiled at Lila and said, “Lila, you must be curious why I invited you to my wedding, right?”

“Yes.”

“You saw my bad relationship with Esther in the morning. She has been thinking of ways to bully me, and I also want her dead.” Anne sized up Lila and continued, “I know that you like Terence very much. I want to help you, and the reason I invited you to my wedding is just to let you have more opportunities to contact Terence.”

Seeing the surprise on Lila’s face, Anne added, “You don’t have to be surprised or grateful to me. I’m doing this purely to take revenge on Esther, not for you.”

Lila thought about it and nodded, saying, “I see. To put it bluntly, you are just using me, but…” she continued and smiled, “As long as I can get Terence, I am willing to be used.”

“I knew that you would be willing. After all, there is no man more handsome and elegant than Terence.” Anne stared at Lila and laughed at herself, saying, “Even I was attracted by him back then. If it weren’t for the fact that I have married James, I wouldn’t have given up such a good opportunity.”

Lila could not wait to ask, “How are you going to help me?”

Anne’s eyes flashed with a trace of hatred. She invited Lila to the wedding banquet today just to disgust Esther. She did not think about how to help Lila snatch Terence away from Esther. But since Esther was so vicious and dared to let her make a fool of herself in public, then she wouldn’t let Esther go.

“Do you know why James was in such a hurry to marry me?”

Lila thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, “I do not know.”

However, she had noticed it in the morning. James did not look very happy, nor did he have the happy expression that a groom should have. Those who were more attentive could tell that he forced himself to smile.

“Because I am pregnant.”

“Is that so?” Lila cried out in shock and looked down at Anne’s belly, saying, “Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Anne gave a smile and said, “If you want to marry Terence, this is the simplest and most direct way. Of course, you’re now famous and have a good future in the entertainment circle. It is a pity to get pregnant at such a young age. What do you think?”

Lila shook her head without hesitation and said, “Compared to Terence, the entire entertainment circle is inferior to him.”

Anne’s words just now were just used to test Lila’s sincerity. Since Lila said so, she could be at ease and boldly help Lila.

Hearing Lila’s words, Anne nodded in satisfaction.

After pondering for a moment, Anne said, “Tonight’s banquet is very important. Terence will attend. You must attend.”

“Tonight’s banquet?”

“That’s right! Your chance has come.” Anne’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness again. A plan quickly formed in her mind.

Seeing Anne so serious, Lila had a glimmer of hope…

Previously, she had always felt that Terence had married, so she had no hope. Today, seeing that the relationship between Terence and his wife was as bad as the rumors said, it was clear that they would divorce soon. If someone was willing to help her, then she could marry Terence.

…

When Terence returned to the Gibson’s in the afternoon, he was called into the study by his parents.

When Terence heard Lauren say that Clark asked him to go to the study, he had guessed what was going on.

In the study, other than his parents who had a serious expression, there was also Amanda who wore a long face. Seeing him come in, Amanda glanced at him unhappily and turned away.

Clark sitting on the sofa glanced at Terence and said, “Terence, you let me down!”

“Dad, if it was because of the matter of wedding dress in the morning, I am very sorry…”
