Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Hearing Anne’s complaint again, Amanda was unhappy. But Amanda comforted Anne, “Anne, James is the heir of the Gibson Group. He also holds an important position in the company. Normally, he is busy. As a woman, you must understand and tolerate him!”

Anne was silent. Amanda added, “As the future mistress of the Gibson Group and the Gibson family, you must be tolerable. Do you want to give this position to another woman?”

“No, of course not,” Anne said firmly.

The words of “the mistress of the Gibson family” appeased and spurred Anne.

Anne was so close to the position. So she could not give it up because James did not go home.

However, she couldn’t bear the fact that James was becoming less and less interested in her.

Fortunately, Esther’s falling down this time didn’t hurt her baby except for her head.

Seeing that her baby was safe, Esther could be at ease.

After staying in the hospital for a day, Esther returned home. After all, staying at home was much better than at the hospital.

After Terence sent Esther home, he wanted to hire a nanny for her, which was rejected.

Esther would feel uncomfortable living with a stranger.

Terence looked at Esther unpleasantly. “You don’t want a nanny. Do you want to cook and do housework? You are still injured.”

Esther touched the wound on her head and muttered, “It’s not pain at all. I don’t have much housework at home. Don’t worry.”

“At least, you should recover from the wound on your head.” Terence said, “If you dislike a stranger at home, we can hire an hourly nanny.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“An hourly nanny?”

“Right.” Terence patted Esther on the shoulder. “I will be worried and can’t work if you’re alone at home.”

Since Terence said so, Esther accepted.

Although she might lose the fun of cooking for Terence with an hourly nanny, a pregnant woman shouldn’t stay in a place with cooking oil and smoke. Besides, her baby was different.

Esther nodded and looked at Esther. “Well, you can work at ease. Just let the hourly nanny take care of me.”

Then Esther carefully asked, “But can you come back early?”

“You want me to come back early?” Terence asked playfully. “Why?”

Esther answered, “Accompany me and baby because our baby will miss you.”

Esther had hoped that Terence would not be too tired. It would be good and justified if she and her baby could let him get off work early, which was unreasonable in the past.

Terence nodded.

The baby was a good excuse. Terence agreed so easily. Esther smiled. “Thank you, Terence. Our baby will be very happy too, and grows healthily.”

Terence didn’t speak again.

For the health of the body, Terence could even stay at home with Esther and the baby for a day and night without going to work.

Lila entered the coffee shop, sat down opposite Anne, and complained, “Miss Anne, what do you want me to do? But your ideas are useless to Terence.”

“Why is it useless? You don’t use it properly every time.” Anne said speechlessly.

“How can you say that? At the wedding banquet, you let me call myself Shirly. But Terence knew the truth after a kiss. Then, you asked me to lie that we did something at the wedding banquet. Terence believed it, but he refused to be responsible for me. What can I do?”

“I asked you to tell him that, not ask him to take responsibility for you.”

Terence didn’t like Lila. Moreover, he had married Esther, so he wouldn’t be responsible for Lila.

“Then what do you mean?”

“Let’s talk about this later.” Anne said, “I want to tell you something terrible today.”

Lila was about to drink fruit juice. But when she heard this, she immediately asked, “What is it?”

“Esther is pregnant.”

“What?” Lila was stunned. “It’s fast.”

“Yes, I also think it is incredible. Two months ago, everyone was discussing whether Terence was infertile because of a disease, but Esther was pregnant soon.” Anne said angrily. “If you had sex with Terence at the wedding banquet that day, you might be pregnant now.”

Lila also felt regretful.

Lila sighed helplessly. “Maybe it’s fate.”

“Fate is created by yourself.”

“I know, but Esther is pregnant. No matter what I do, it’s useless.” After coming back from Proley, Lila was helpless for Terence.

Although Lila didn’t want to give up, she had no idea what to do.

Terence was the toughest man she had met!

“What if Esther’s child is gone?”

Anne’s words stunned Lila.

“What did you say?” Lila asked in surprise.

“I said it unintentionally.” Anne smiled and took a sip of juice.

Lila smiled. “Miss Anne, do you want me to kill Esther’s child? I don’t dare to do such a wicked thing. If it’s exposed, it will ruin my life.”

Anne continued to lure. “It’s up to you. If you want to give Terence up, then you can do nothing. If you don’t, then you have to do it in a hurry. If Esther gives birth to a child, you won’t have any chance.”

Lila was convinced by Anne.

Anne continued, “It’s your fault. You can’t get pregnant with Terence’s child, causing Esther to give birth to his child.”
