Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“I understand your intentions.” Esther smiled at her. “Don’t worry, I won’t think that way.”

“Good.” Miss Young nodded and stood up. “Let’s go. It will be too late to board the plane.”

After walking out of the lounge, Esther thought of the message she had just sent to Terence and felt a little embarrassed.

It had only been a short fifteen minutes since she sent the message, and she had changed her mind. What would Terence think of her?

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go?” Terence mocked her.

To ease the awkwardness, Esther deliberately smiled. “Just a joke. I didn’t expect you to not care at all. You didn’t even give me a call.”

“What do you expect me to say? Beg you don’t go back?”

“At least give me a call asking how I go home,” Esther said.

Terence didn’t say anything. He got up and walked towards the boarding gate.

As Esther was boarding the plane behind, Terence gazed at Miss Young displeased. “You persuaded her to come back?”

“No, I just threatened her and she came back by herself.”

“Threatened?”

“Yes, I said that Proley is very dangerous and there might be an accident. She immediately changed her mind. She is probably afraid that you will be killed.” Miss Young smiled, “You see. The person who cares about you the most will always be your closest person, even if she doesn’t do well enough usually.”

Then Miss Young quickened her pace and walked towards the cabin.

Esther sat down in her seat. Because she was still a little uncomfortable, and she did not sleep well in the ancestral hall last night, she casually flipped through the magazine on the back of the chair and fell asleep.

Seeing that her face was a little red, Terence glanced at her and asked, “Have you taken your medicine?”

“Yeah.” Esther nodded.

“Don’t force yourself. Otherwise, you will say I don’t care about you.”

“Don’t worry, I can pass the examination, proving that I’m fine.” Esther sneezed twice as soon as she finished speaking. She hurriedly covered her nose with a tissue and stared at him. “Do you want to change seats? I don’t want to infect you.”

Dr. Ross said that it was easy for him to get sick if he’s infected, and it would be troublesome if her cold was passed on to him.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Terence understood what she meant. He was not grateful. Instead, he frowned and said unhappily. “Don’t treat me like a patient. I’m not that weak.”

Esther was speechless, thinking that he was obviously a patient, okay? Everyone knew that Mr. Terence of the Gibson family was a person with a strange disease?

However, she did not dare to say these words, lest it hurt his self-esteem.

Terence picked up the blanket next to him and threw it on her. “If you want to sleep, remember to cover the blanket.”

“Thank you.” Although his tone was very flat and his movements were not gentle at all, Esther still felt a little touched. It was probably because there were too few people who cared about her over the years, so she was so easy to be moved.

In fact, Terence knew how to care about people. She had discovered this when she was in Randall City. It was just that too many things had happened that caused his misunderstanding of her to become deeper and deeper, and his concern for her became less and less.

But it did not matter. She believed that one day, he would find out that she was not the bad woman he thought!

She did not expect him to love her as much as he loved Shirly, but at least not to hate her and treat her as his real wife.

Esther pulled up the blanket, turned her body slightly, and closed her eyes…

It was unknown whether it was because of the discomfort of her body or the fear of the ancestral hall, but not long after she slept, Esther was woken up by a nightmare.

Terence, who was reading a magazine at his side, was startled. He turned his head to look at her, who was covered in a cold sweat and had a frightened expression.

It’s obvious that she had a nightmare. He turned around and continued reading the magazine as he asked, “What did you dream of again?”

Esther took in a deep breath and said, “I dreamed that I was sleeping in the ancestral hall. There was a blurry figure pinching my neck, saying that I stole her most precious thing…”

She shook her head, her expression sluggish. “But I didn’t steal other people’s things. Why does she always appear in my dreams? Why…”

“You mean Shirly?”

Esther looked up at him and said, “I don’t mean to disrespect or hurt her. I don’t understand why I always dream of her.”

Terence pondered before shaking his head. “It doesn’t matter. She is just a deceased person.”

Just a deceased person? He could actually say this so lightly? Wasn’t Miss Shirly the woman he had always been missing?

Just now, Lady Gibson said that Esther smashed Miss Shirly’s memorial tablet, Lady Gibson was unhappy. And Lady Gibson looked like she wanted to strangle Esther to death.

Perhaps Terence missed Miss Shirly a lot without saying anything. And it was better for her to be careful in the future.

To prevent herself from making a fool of herself again, Esther did not dare to sleep again after waking up until the plane landed.

Because it was a small city, there was no airport in Proley. After the group got off the plane in the provincial city, the company took them to Proley by car.

Proley was indeed not rich, but it was a beautiful mountain city with green mountains and waters along the way.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she had heard that the security here wasn’t good, Esther wouldn’t believe that such a beautiful place wouldn’t be safe.

But it’s the same in other tourist cities. There were always some gangsters disturbing the local public security and discrediting the image of the local cities.

Terence and Esther were arranged to stay in a garden community in the center of the city. Although there were only two rooms and one living room in the house, the spacious and bright decoration was exquisite. And the house looked very new and clean.

This community garden was built five years ago by the Gibson Group, and all the facilities in the garden had been perfected. Esther almost fell in love with this warm house at a glance.

All along, her dream was to form a small family with her beloved and live in a small house. She should not be as luxurious and deserted as a villa.

What she wanted were warmth and happiness!

Although her relationship with Terence was not happy, even peaceful, it was still much better than living in a big house like the Gibson’s.

“Mrs. Gibson, are you satisfied with this house? If not, I can arrange a bigger and more spacious room for you and Mr. Terence.” The reception lady asked politely.
