Love Is a Sweet Addiction

James put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked towards her. His eyes were filled with anger, “Esther, do you not want the baby of Anne and me to live?”

Esther was stunned and glanced at him in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“Why did you go back to the Cusack’s just now? Didn’t you provoke Anne and try to make her miscarry?” James pulled out a hand from his pocket and pressed it against the door frame, trapping her between himself and the wall, “Anne is pregnant with the little great-grandson of the Gibson family. If you dare to do anything to her, no one in the Gibson family will let you go, including me!”

Esther looked at his furious expression. She wasn’t angry, but laughed, “Did Anne tell you that?”

“Yes,” James said.

Esther nodded. She was still not angry, “No wonder.”

“What do you mean?” James asked.

“Nothing. I just feel that you two are a perfect match for each other, and are suitable for being couples.” After Esther finished speaking, she tried to push him away, “Mr. Gibson, what you are doing now is easy for others to misunderstand. I don’t want to make Terence unhappy, so can you move aside?”

James was here to reprimand her. Not only did he not see the regret on her face, but he was also ridiculed by her in such an ambiguous way.

He was furious, “Esther, do you have any regrets?”

“Sorry, I don’t,” Esther said.

“You …” James said.

“By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on becoming a father. Anne will give you a strong boy,” After Esther finished speaking, she bent her legs and crawled out from under his arm. She opened the door and entered the room.

Staring at the door that had been thrown away by Esther, James was so angry that he kicked the wall and cursed.

…

Early in the morning, Esther and Terence went to the airport. They were going to Randall City.

When they were halfway, Esther suddenly remembered that Linsay had asked for their flight number. Esther turned to stare at Terence who was closing his eyes. She asked, “Which flight did we book?”

“I don’t remember,” Terence said.

“There should be information on your phone, right? Please help me take a look,” Esther said.

“Why are you so concerned about the flight?” Terence opened his eyes and stared at her.

“I have a friend who is also going to Randall City today. She wants to take the same flight with me,” Esther said, “You’ve seen her last time on the Fairy Mountain. Her name is Linsay.”

“I don’t like her,” Terence closed his eyes again and said in a calm tone, “There are dozens of flights to Randall City a day. She doesn’t have to take the same flight with us and be the third wheel.”

“She didn’t do anything to you. Why don’t you like her?” Esther was puzzled. She knew that Terence and Linsay had only met once. Moreover, the time was so short that they had not even spoken a word. Esther didn’t know why Terence disliked Linsay.

Terence pondered for a moment before answering, “Because she is a woman.”

Esther was speechless. Since Terence didn’t want to take the same plane with other women, she couldn’t force him. She could only call Linsay to apologize.

Linsay seemed very generous and said casually, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s gather at Randall City.”

“Alright, then be careful. See you at Randall City.” After Esther hung up the phone, she glanced at Terence.

Although Terence had his eyes closed, he could still feel her unhappy gaze. However, he didn’t care. He only slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He thought that this woman couldn’t take lessons learned, which was the reason that she was betrayed by her sister.

When they arrived at the airport, Esther discovered that Miss Young would go with them to Randall City. Miss Young was a beautiful and elegant woman that could even attract women.

The boarding procedure was handled by Miss Young. When Esther and Terence arrived at the airport, she had completed it.

Looking at Miss Young in front of her, Esther thought, “Terence said that he did not like women, but he brought such a beautiful female assistant on a business trip. It’s ridiculous.”

Esther did not know how close they were, but she felt uncomfortable when seeing Miss Young’s attractive figure and appearance.

Esther was not sure if she was jealous.

After realizing this, she hurriedly shook her head. She reminded herself not to be like a resentful woman, and to have the demeanor as Mrs. Gibson!

“Mrs. Gibson, let me help you get the luggage,” Miss Young said with a smile.

Esther shook her head, “No, thank you. I can take it myself.”

She did not give the luggage to Miss Young, but Terence took it over.

When they went to the boarding gate, Terence and Miss Young walked together. Miss Young walked quickly as she reported work to Terence.

Esther chased after them at the start, but she was a little discouraged later.

She realized that she could not compare to Miss Young, who was used to the fast pace in the workplace. No matter in terms of physical strength or pace, she could not compare with Miss Young.

After a while, Terence finally turned around and raised an eyebrow at Esther who looked bitter, “Are you tired?”

“Of course not.” Esther had to speed up and catch up to them.

As soon as she got close, her wrist was grabbed by something. Esther was stunned. She looked down and found that it was Terence’s big hand on her wrist. After pulling her hand, he immediately turned his head to continue talking to Miss Young. He only made a casual movement. But Esther was moved by it.

She felt that his large palm seemed to carry some kind of energy. It flowed into her body through the skin on her wrist and reached her limbs and bones, finally warming her heart.

This kind of feeling was not bad to her.

Esther did not expect that she would encounter James and Anne on the plane. When they got up the plane, James and Anne were in the first-class cabin.

James and Anne were not surprised when they saw Terence and Esther, instead, they seemed to know about it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

James politely greeted Terence. James just glanced at Esther and didn’t talk to her.

Terence just nodded at him and sat down.

They were family, but they were so distant as if they were neighbors who only had a nodding acquaintance with each other.

Esther sat in the seat by the aisle and silently fastened her seatbelt, waiting for the plane to take off.

After the plane took off, she raised her hand to pull the curtain aside. She lowered her voice to ask Terence, “Why are they going to Randall City today? Is it possible that you guys have the meeting on the same day?”
