Love Is a Sweet Addiction

When Esther woke up the next day, she sat up quietly and looked down on the ground beside the bed.

She felt as if she was dreaming again. A drunk man broke into her bedroom and wanted to have sex with her. In the end, she kicked him off the bed.

Suddenly, she tensed up and realized that this was not a dream! It did happen last night!

A man came in and was kicked off the bed. He was her husband Terence, whom she had not seen for a few days after they got married.

Thinking about what had happened last night, Esther was ashamed and helpless. She didn’t want to have sex with Terrence at all, but he was her husband. She should not reject him and kick him off the bed.

If Gill found out about this, she would be furious. And Terence must be very angry now.

Esther had expected him to return to the Cusack’s with her. He didn’t like to walk around in the past. Now he would never do it.

Esther sighed helplessly. Breakfast was ready. She washed up in the bathroom. Then she picked out her clothes in the wardrobe.

Lauren prepared these clothes for her, and they were all from big brands. Each one was unique and beautiful, but she couldn’t pick one that she liked.

Probably because she had been invisible at the Cusack’s for too long. She never lived a life like Anne. Esther was used to living a simple life. She always felt that expensive clothes were not suitable for her. They were burdens to her.

In the end, Esther picked out a relatively simple dress. It was lake green and reached her knees. Esther looked at herself in the mirror, perfect.

When Esther went to the dining hall on time, there were several Gibsons at the table, Clark and Gill, Amanda, James and his younger sister, Sarah.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone who lived at the Gibson’s was here, except Terence.

However, Esther was not surprised. Lauren told her that Terence had just returned home last week. He was resting in the backyard and adapting himself.

Esther greeted everyone politely. As her gaze swept over James, she couldn’t help but get nervous. However, she did not show it. Instead, she ignored his icy glare, walked to her own seat and sat down.

“Auntie Esther, you’re so late. Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for you.” Sarah, who was sitting beside James, teased Esther with a smile.

Esther looked up at Sarah. With a single glance, she could feel Sarah’s hostility to her. It seemed that Sarah was also a difficult girl.

“Sorry, I’ll come earlier next time,” Esther replied with a graceful smile.

“Esther is new here. She needs some time to adapt to the rules. She’ll know next time.” Gill glanced at everyone and said calmly, “Everyone, let’s eat.”

“Yeah, eat more.” Clark also looked at everyone as he usually did. Finally, his gaze rested on Esther and he said with a smile, “Especially you, Esther. Get healthy and have a cute son for Terence.”

Clark just never forgot that!

Esther smiled awkwardly, “Thank you, Dad. I will try.”
