Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther received Gill’s call. She said, “Mom, I have discussed it with Terence. When Terence is done with the work here, we will return to City R.”

“Well, is that so?” Gill laughed dryly.

Hearing that, Esther asked with concern, “Mom, what’s wrong? Is there no successful communication with dad?”

“Not really,” Gill said.

Esther added, “Then…” Gill interrupted, “Well. Esther, why was Terence so resistant to paternity testing? Have you asked him?”

Esther was stunned. She did not expect Gill to ask this question. Moreover, Gill’s tone was so serious. Could it be that even Gill began to doubt Terence’s blood kinship?

“Mom, what do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just thought about it last night.” Gill smiled and asked, “Have you asked him about it?”

Esther thought about it and replied, “Yes. Such behavior is a humiliation to his biological mother. He told it to you, right?”

“Yes, did he say anything else?”

Esther thought about it again. Then she shook her head. “No.”

However… When Esther asked Terence about it, he asked her a question. He asked, “Aren’t you afraid that the result is not what you want?”

At that time, she was also stunned. Terence said it was a joke. She believed it.

Terence said that he never lied!

“Well, it better be.” Gill paused for a moment and said, “We should figure out the truth.”

“Mom, what do you mean?”

“Get me some of Terence’s hair. I want to take a paternity test.”

“Mom, are you going to take the paternity test secretly?” Esther was surprised.

“Well, that’s not good. If they are biological father and son, why don’t we talk about it? If they are not, we should prepare in advance. What do you think, Esther?”

Esther was stunned.

She had never thought that Terence would have no blood relationship with Master Gibson. She had never thought about it. Moreover, Terence was not such a person. Without the relationship, he would not listen to Master Gibson’s arrangement.

Esther thought, ‘No, I could not be misled by Gill.’

“Esther, did you hear me?” Gill asked when she saw that Esther did not respond.

“Mom!” Esther snapped out of her daze and said, “No, I can’t do that. Terence will hate me.”

“I know. With Terence’s personality, he will be very angry. We do this for his good. We keep a secret. He won’t know it. What are you afraid of?”

“No, this is a lie. I don’t trust you. I believe Terence won’t lie to me.” Esther shook her head. “Mom, I have promised you so many things before. I can’t promise you. I am sorry.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Esther!” Gill was somewhat angry. “Do you still want to live well in the Gibson family?”

“But…” Esther continued to shake her head. “I don’t want to hurt Terence. Please forgive me.”

For the first time, Esther rejected Gill’s request so firmly. Although she knew that Gill was angry, she still did it.

After hanging up the phone, Esther felt so upset.

She wanted to get pregnant and help Terence return to the headquarters of City R. She did not expect such a problem to appear.

Kinship was innate. No one could change it. To be honest, Esther was a little worried.

After all, what Gill said was right. If Terence did not have the bloodline of the Gibson family, he was nobody in the Gibson family. Then, he could not get what he wanted anymore.

A day passed with this uneasy feeling. Terence came back in the evening. Esther looked at Terence’s delicate and handsome facial features. Terence was not like Russell or Clark in looks.

It was said that he looked like his mother. That was true!

“Why are you looking at me?” Terence, who had just come out of the bathroom and was drying his hair with a dry towel, suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked. He felt Esther was different today. Her gaze always stagnated on his face.

Hearing this, Esther came back to her senses and said with a smile, “Let me help you dry your hair.”

She walked to the bathroom cabinet, took out a windpipe from inside, and walked toward him. After he sat down by the bed, Esther sat down beside him.

Taking care of her stature, Terence laid his head on her lap to let her blow more smoothly.

The warm wind blew on his soft black hair. Esther’s slender fingers moved between Terence’s hair. She unconsciously remembered what Gill had said to her today.

Gill asked her to get some of Terence’s hair back. It was not difficult at all. She did not want to hurt him.

Her hair was dried, but she still did not remove the electric hair drier.

Terence looked up at her in confusion. “Miss Esther, do you enjoy the process of blowing hair for others? If you keep blowing, I will own a new model.”

Esther quickly switched off the electric hair drier and smiled apologetically, “Sorry, your hair is too soft. It feels so comfortable to touch.”

“You are a nymphomaniac tonight. What’s wrong?”

“No, I just…” Esther thought about it. “We’re going back to City R. I’m just a little sad.”

“Didn’t you want to go back?”

“That’s because I don’t want your talent to be buried here. I can’t bear to leave here…” Esther smiled uneasily. “It’s mainly because I can’t bear to part with this free world of two people. Well. Are you complacent again?”

Terence looked at her and reviewed the recent days. It was not bad.
