Love Is a Sweet Addiction

The bitter liquid flew from her mouth to her throat. She couldn’t help but frown and think, ‘Why good wine tastes so bad?’

When she looked up, she found Terence gazing at her. Her face turned hot and she quickly drank the rest of the red wine.

Terence mocked faintly, “Don’t force yourself if you can’t drink.”

Esther was tongue-tied. Why couldn’t he speak earlier? She thought that he was waiting for her to empty her glass!

When Esther was done, Ross instantly leaned over to pour her more wine. But Terence shot him a warning look.

“Miss Esther, here’s to you.” Ross did not give up and shook his glass at Esther from behind Terence.

Esther looked at him uneasily. She was worried that he would tell Terence that she run out of the house and had a blind date when he went back. Would Terence choke her to death in anger?

Probably having seen through her, Ross tapped his wine glass with his finger, “If Miss Esther doesn’t show me any courtesy, I won’t be able to keep my mouth shut….”

Esther hurriedly picked up her glass and made a motion to him. Then, she raised her head and drank the wine inside.

Terence didn’t even have time to stop her. Seeing her twisted face, he put on a serious face and mocked, “Since you have the guts to run out and go on a blind date, how come you don’t dare to tell the truth to your husband? Go beg him, maybe he’ll let you go free.”

Esther looked down, not knowing what to say.

Ross was going to made fun of them, but before he could say anything, Terence coldly said, “Mr. Ross, you can leave now!”

Ross was struck dumb. Why should he leave away? He was not Terence’s slave. Come and go as Terence wanted.

However, in this private room, Serena was busy trying to please Andrew who was still angry now. Terence and Esther were dealing with each other. Ross felt he was a third wheel for them.

“Alright, then I’ll go back first.” He shrugged his shoulders and stood up from the sofa. But he still tried to tease Esther, “Miss Esther, do you want to go with me?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, I should go back too.” Esther stood up from the sofa without thinking.

The atmosphere here was too awkward, ambiguous, and uncomfortable. She was eager to leave. Moreover, she felt necessary to explain to Ross why she had come to a blind date tonight, so that he wouldn’t go back and talk nonsense with Terence.

But just as she stood up from the sofa, Terence pulled her back onto the sofa and said, “I’ll see you off later.”

“No need, I….”

“You are my blind date today. Isn’t it very ungentlemanly for me not to send you back?” Terence interrupted her mockingly.

Ross blinked at Esther as if with implications and waved his hand again, “Forget it. I’d better go back by myself.”

After sitting in the private room for a while, Serena received a phone call, asking her go back home to deal with some urgent matters. So, Andrew had to send her over and left with her.

Instantly, there were Terence and Esther left in the private room. She didn’t know if it was because the private room was too hot or she felt uneasy. She felt her face on fire.

After nodding at Terence, she staggered to the bathroom and was immediately frightened by herself in the mirror.
