Chapter 74 Peeping
The girl nodded, “A department of the Anetly Group once camped here. Just as Miss Esther did, a girl from that department also saw a strange long-haired woman in the middle of the night. She said that woman had a terrible face and sharp eyes. That girl fainted on the spot. The next day, people found her outside the tent. The girl told them her story but they didn’t believe her at first. After camping, that girl returned to downtown. She fell ill and slowly lost her mind. After that, people came to believe her story.”
“What happened to that girl afterward?” Linsay held Serena’s arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.
“She didn’t recover. Then, her story began to spread within her company and became known by more and more people.”
Esther shuddered. She felt so stuffy inside that she couldn’t speak.
Serena noticed that Esther’s red face had turned extremely pale. She hurriedly hugged her and comforted, “This is just a rumor. Esther, don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Esther looked at Serena in a cold sweat.
After a long while, he faintly said, “Will I go crazy after I return home?”
“Don’t be silly. How is that possible! There is no ghost in the world. Why are you so superstitious? Even if there were a female ghost, we don’t need to be afraid. She doesn’t know us.”
The girl realized that her words had frightened Esther. She said apologetically, “Miss Esther, your friend is right. Actually, the illness of that girl from the Anetly Group might have nothing to do with camping. It could be that she had a mental health problem.”
“That’s right!” Everyone nodded and began to comfort Esther.
However, after hearing the girl’s words, no matter how everyone comforted her, Esther was still panicked. She couldn’t let it go.
At noon, Esther had arrived home, but she couldn’t recover from the fear.
After sleeping in the bedroom for a long time in the afternoon, Esther woke up and felt a little dizzy.
Realizing that she couldn’t continue like this, she decided to take a walk in the garden to relax. Otherwise, she would go crazy like that girl from the Anetly Group.
The back garden was huge and had good scenery. Walking on a cobblestone path and enjoying the fragrance of flowers was a good way to relax and refresh.
She heard water flowing ahead of her. Through the branches, she saw someone swimming in the pool. In the clear pool water, there was a slender figure swimming in the water skillfully.
‘Was that Terence? In this house, he was the only person who had such a good shape!’
Being obsessed with admiring the good shape of Terence, she even forgot about the unpleasant experience in the Fairy Mountain. She just stood still and peeped at him.
‘Anyway, he was my husband! I had every reason to do so. ‘
A moment later, Terence, who had been swimming in the water, suddenly broke through the water. He wiped his face with his hands and suddenly said to her, “Ms. Amanda, do you have fun peeping at me?”
Esther froze for a moment before she hurriedly turned around.
“Wait.” Just as she was about to leave, Terence stopped her.
She stiffened and turned to look at him and said, “Yes?”
“Get the towel for me.”
“Okay.” She quickly walked to the reclining chair and brought over the bathrobe and towel.
Terence came out of the water. His sexy honey skin resonated with the evening glow, which was impressive. Droplets worked their way from his hair, his sculpted chest, his abs, and to his thighs.
This was the first time Esther had seen his body so closely and clearly. She unconsciously turned her back on him and held his clothes high.
Terence took the towel from her hands and began to wipe his body. Amused by her bashfulness, he teased, “You’re already married. Why are you acting like a little girl?”
“I … I just like to act this way,” Esther argued back with her face turning red.
She felt even more self-conscious when she heard him tittering. ‘He was right. We were already husband and wife. It was pretentious for me to act like that.’
“Put on your clothes first.” She urged.
He took the bathrobe and put it on. Then, he turned her face toward him and asked casually, “Do you have fun in Fairy Mountain fun?”
Her face darkened because his words reminded her of that terrible experience.
“I can tell that it’s not a good trip.”
“You’re right.” She took a deep breath and didn’t say anything else.
“You … didn’t go out today?” Actually, she wanted to know why he didn’t go to Aastha Villa today
“Yes, I didn’t go out.”
“What about tonight?”
“You’ve got a plan for tonight?” Terence raised his eyebrows at her.
Esther’s face turned red again. She shook her head, “No … I don’t have any plan.”
‘Chatting with him was tiring and embarrassing. I’d better leave first.’
She said to him, “I’ll go back to my room first.” Then she turned around and left quickly.
…
As soon as James entered the club box, Anne suddenly jumped on him and gave him a big hug, which was a shock for him.
He extricated himself from her hug and said, “You said you have something important to tell me. What is it?”
“Be patient. Don’t you want to do that first?” Anne smiled and kissed him on the lips, then whispered in his ear, “Dear, do you?”
“Yes, but first thing first.” James held her chin and smiled.
Anne paused for a while and kissed him on the lips. “Okay, I can’t wait to tell you that.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the sofa. She took out a folded paper from her bag and handed it to him. She blushed and said, “Here you are.”
James unfolded the paper confusingly. James became panicked when he found it to be a pregnancy test report.
Anne had been paying attention to his reaction. Seeing him unhappy, she immediately said in a happy voice, “Esther has been dreaming of having a son so that she can take part of your family’s fortune. Our coming son can put an end to her dream.”
