Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence must have said it deliberately, Lila secretly reminded herself that she could not give up.

“Terence, I won’t ask you to do anything to make up for it, and I won’t pester you because of this. After all, you said that you were married, and I was not an 18-year-old girl. So…” She smiled gently. “Don’t worry.”

Terence was originally eating. Upon hearing her words, he lifted his eyes and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes. “What did you say? You mean that I did something to you that night?”

“Terence, have you really forgotten it?”

“I didn’t forget it, but I don’t remember that I ever touched you.”

“Terence, I already said that I won’t pester you because of this. Why are you still unwilling to admit it?” Lila shook her head with an aggrieved expression. “No, it’s not that you don’t dare to admit it. It’s just that you don’t want to admit it. But why? Do you feel so bad to have that kind of relationship with me?”

“Lila, I know that you must have been instigated by someone that night, so I don’t want to argue with you. But don’t push yourself too far or try to make up something,” Terence said with a gloomy face.

“What was made up by me? You hugged me and kissed me that night. Then you took off my dress and made out with me while calling Shirly’s name,” Lila said.

A cold light flashed in Terence’s eyes as he stared at the woman in front of him.

He still remembered something of that night, but he did not remember that he made out with Lila while calling Shirly’s name.

He remembered that he really thought of Shirly that night, but…

He shook his head and suddenly felt a headache.

Could it be that during that period, he really forgot something? No, it was impossible. If he had made out with Lila, it was impossible for him to let Lila go and then take Esther over.

“Terence, are you alright?” Seeing that his face had changed and he was no longer as cold and gloomy as before, Lila knew that he did not remember what happened that night completely.

It seemed that Anne guessed right, and Lila also made the right bet!

Terence was not a coward who didn’t dare to admit it after he slept with a woman. But now, after being told so much by Lila, he was a little confused, unable to distinguish between right and wrong.

That night, what did he and Lila do? This had become a new question stuck in his mind!

And he could not verify this matter or give himself a clear investigation result. It made him feel worse.

He could only believe what Lila said, but Lila was such an untrustworthy person!

He secretly gritted his teeth, stared at her and finally said, “Then what do you want?”

Lila was stunned by his cold and hard tone and quickly said, “Didn’t I tell you just now? I’m not an 18-year-old girl. I won’t pester you because of this.”

“Alright, I hope you can keep your word,” Terence immediately said.

Lila was speechless. She looked at him in shock. She thought he would feel guilty. She imagined that he would take her hand and apologize. He would comfort her and promise that he would treat her well in the future.

“I know very well who planned it that night. It’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that the timing isn’t right. Even if I did something to Miss Lila during that time, it was you who came over deliberately. So, I won’t do anything, and I won’t feel ashamed because of it. If you still have some self-respect, please stop here.”

Terence was indeed so cold and heartless!

Lila smiled in disappointment and looked at him. “Terence, I told you that I was also tricked into the lounge that night. I don’t ask you to apologize to me or comfort me. I just hope that you don’t trample on my self-esteem, okay?”

“I’m sorry, I really can’t be so gentlemanly. I think it’s already considerate enough to not argue with you about what happened that night.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After Terence finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, “As for the dress, I knew it was designed by Esther the moment I saw the design draft. I liked it because it was designed by her. It was not because I thought it was suitable for you. I didn’t really want to see you wear a dress that did not fit you. I hope you will not misunderstand and think too much.”

Seeing that Lila was silent, he said, “This is also the reason why I invited Miss Lila to dinner today.”

From the moment she received his invitation, to the time when she realized that he did not completely remember what happened that night, Lila had always been delighted secretly. However, at this moment, hearing him defending Esther, Lila felt so upset.

This man always disappointed her immediately after giving her hope. She was about to be tortured crazy by this feeling.

She sighed and pretended to be helpless. “Alright, I was thinking too much before. I thought you would like me to change my style, so picked the dress for me. But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I don’t expect anything to happen between you and me. We are just friends.”

“Strictly speaking, we are not even friends. Miss Lila is only a spokesperson invited by our company, and I’m not in charge of Prime Diamonds.”

Lila smiled. “That’s true.”

“So, for the sake of the harmony of my family and for the sake of Miss Lila’s career, it’s better for us to meet less in the future,” Terence said. These words also made Lila very upset.

If she continued to stick to him at this time, then it would be more embarrassing. She believed that Terence would only look down on her even more. So, she would just stop here for today!

“Of course. Don’t worry about it, Mr. Terence.”

“Thank you.” A smile finally reappeared on Terence’s face.

It was not a smile of joy or relief, but a smile of ridicule and indifference.

Lila acted as if she did not understand his meaning. She drank something and looked up at him. She smiled and asked, “Terence, I have always been very curious. Other than Miss Shirly, have you ever liked any other woman in your life?”

“No.”

“What kind of woman do you like?” She had never understood why would he dislike her? She was such an outstanding woman.

Terence was silent for a moment. Then he said, “At least someone who has self-respect and self-esteem, but this is something that you might not be able to do, right?”

This was clearly a mockery. How could Lila not be able to tell?
