Love Is a Sweet Addiction

It seemed that if she wanted to find out the truth, she could only ask the Gibsons.

She didn’t know if Terence had known that she went on a blind date last night. Was he angry? In a word, Esther was not extremely regretful. She shouldn’t have promised Serena to make so-called “friends”.

Also, she didn’t know where Terence was now. If he knew what she did last night, the house shouldn’t be so quiet.

Anyway, she’d better slip away now.

She quickly got out of bed and ran to the bedroom door without turning back.

When she touched the doorknob, the nightmare of that night suddenly flashed through her mind. She thought of the terrifying and strange woman in the nightmare.

Esther’s body stiffened. After a moment of hesitation, she withdrew her palm from the doorknob. Then she turned around and carefully walked into the study.

The study was quiet. She looked around and looked in the direction of the portrait. The portrait was still there. During the daytime, she could see the woman in the picture more clearly.

The woman in the portrait was exactly the same as the woman who appeared in her dream.

However, this woman had red lips, white teeth, snow-white skin, and a faint smile. She did not seem to be able to hurt anyone. Why did Esther have that kind of dream?

Because of that dream, she was even a little afraid of the portrait.

Worried that she would have nightmares again at night, Esther shook her head and quickly walked towards the bedroom door.

Returning to her bedroom, she washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs. But she unconsciously slowed down and became worried.

She didn’t know if the rest of the Gibsons knew that she went on a blind date last night and got drunk. Would she be punished for this?

Fortunately, the atmosphere at the breakfast table was no different from usual, and no one mentioned what happened last night. It seemed no one knew it.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

That was weird. Even if she talked with James for a while, she could provoke Terence. Now she had done such a thing last night, but Terence pretended that nothing had happened. And he even let her sleep in his bed.

Was there anything more intense waiting for her?

Because she was thinking about something, she ate very slowly. When she finished the breakfast on her plate and looked up, she discovered that only James and she were left on the table.

Blimey! Why did Grandpa and others finish so soon?

When eating alone with James, she had no appetite even if she wasn’t full anymore. When she put down the knife and was about to get up, she heard James say, “You have a good relationship with Uncle Terence. You actually let him carry you home.”

If James had said something else, Esther would have pretended that she didn’t hear him and left directly. However, after hearing his words, she suddenly stopped and sat down again. She frowned and asked, “What did you say? Terence carried me home? When?”

Last night? When else could it be, except last night when she was drunk and fell asleep?

James was also looking at her. After a while, he asked, “You haven’t even seen what Uncle Terence looked like, have you?”

That was impossible. It was Uncle Terence who carried her back last night, but she seemed to be drunk and asleep because he saw that she had her eyes closed. And when he passed by, he could smell the alcohol from her body.
