Love Is a Sweet Addiction

When Esther woke up again, Terence was no longer in bed. She was sleeping in his position.

The first thing she felt when she found this was that Terence must think she was on purpose.

When they were in Randall City, she did the same. Esther wondered why she liked snuggling up to Terence when they slept. It was embarrassing to think about it.

On second thought, she didn’t have to worry that Terence would misunderstand her because they were already husband and wife. Hugging and sleeping for a night were normal.

Thinking of this, Esther didn’t struggle with this idea anymore. She got up and walked barefoot, going out of the bedroom.

It was already past nine in the morning, so Terence should have gone to work.

However, she still looked around, hoping to find him. She didn’t give up until she confirmed that he wasn’t in the room.

Then, she unexpectedly saw breakfast on the dining table.

She walked over suspiciously. It was indeed breakfast, and it was her favorite sandwich and yogurt. The date of the yogurt was fresh and the sandwich was homemade.

Was this made by Terence? Esther couldn’t believe Terence could cook so well.

Terence had been living abroad all this time. It should be easy for him to make a sandwich. He seemed to be quite skilled, but Esther didn’t know how it tasted.

‘By the way, if he put something in the milk?’ Esther wondered. ‘We did nothing but sleep last night, so he couldn’t do that.’ She comforted herself.

It was better not always assume the worst of people.

Esther returned to the bedroom to wash up and then went back to the dining room. When she held the sandwich in her hands, she was a little reluctant to bite it.

In addition to the last toast, this was the first time Terence made breakfast for her.

Like other young ladies, she took out her newly bought phone and took a photo of the sandwich, then sent it to the WeChat group of her girlfriends to show her breakfast.

Linsay responded quickly, “You made it yourself?”

“Esther: Guess?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Linsay: I remember that you’re not that skilled. Could it be that Terence did it?”

“Esther: Yes.”

“Linsay: Terence can make breakfast. Bravo!”

“Serena: Damn! Esther, you finally showed up! I thought that you were murdered by Terence!”

“Esther: I’m sorry. I dropped my phone after I called you that day. I just bought a new phone yesterday.”

“Serena: I thought something had happened to you. You scared me.”

“Esther: Nothing could happen to a woman as strong as me.”

After sending this message, Esther was stunned and thought, ‘No way, I was so deeply affected by Terence that I called myself a strong woman?’

“Serena: How is it? Is the pregnancy plan that I taught you going well?” She added an ambiguous emoji.

Esther hesitated for a moment before sending a message, “It’s not going well.”

Recalling her disgraceful behavior that night and the glass of milk that Terence gave her the next morning, Esther began to feel a little bit uneasy.

“Linsay: Esther, are you planning to get pregnant?”

Before Esther could reply to Linsay, her phone suddenly rang. It was Serena.

Serena was impatient to talk to Esther on WeChat, so she went straight to the point on the phone. “Esther, what do you mean by that? Did you do what I said?”

Esther knew that after she had a new phone, Serena would call her.

“I did, but…” Esther was too embarrassed to mention what happened that night. She thought for a while and said perfunctorily, “We still had a misunderstanding and didn’t get along very well.”

“It seemed that you didn’t coax him as I told you,” Serena said.

“I did, I really did,” Esther replied. She touched him as soon as she came back home, but Terence’s cold gaze flustered her. Not only was the trick seen through by him, but she was also humiliated.

“Serena, I’m already very upset. Can you stop blaming me?” Esther pleaded in a spoiled tone.

Serena changed her tone and said, “Alright, it’s fine. Although we failed this time, we still have another chance. You won’t have a misunderstanding next time, right?”

“Well, let’s talk about it next time,” Esther said with a smile.

She missed her ovulating period this time, so she could only wait and try again during the next ovulating period.

Hanging up the phone, Esther sent Terence a message to thank him for his breakfast and praise its good taste.

Terence didn’t reply to her text message as usual. At this time of the day, he must be busy with work, so Esther didn’t care.

After breakfast, she threw her phone to the side and picked up a stack of papers from under the coffee table.

She hadn’t worked for two days. If Serena knew that she was so lazy, she would definitely be angry and shout at her, asking her whether she still wanted to work or not.

Esther would go back to City R. She had to continue her life, so she couldn’t lose her job.

Moreover, with Terence’s current situation, it was hard to say how long he could stay in the Gibson family. If he was driven out of the family, she had to earn their bread.

She felt a sense of accomplishment just thinking about it.

But if Terence knew her thoughts, he might be so angry.

…

After more than two weeks, the wound on Esther’s left hand finally recovered. However, the fact that there would be a scar on her hand made her upset.

Although she was not as pretty as Anne, Lila, and the other girls, her hands were slender, fair, and beautiful. If a row of tooth marks were left on hand, it would be ugly.

When the doctor told her that there would be a scar, Terence was by her side and clearly saw the regret that flashed across her face.

A strange feeling slipped through his heart at that moment. He said faintly, “This is a mark I left for you. It is exclusive.”

Esther was speechless. She raised her eyes and stared at him, “But the mark is too ugly.”

“If you don’t like it, I’ll take you to the tattoo shop to give you a flower tattoo after the wound is completely healed. It will be beautiful.” Terence said.

“Why don’t you take me directly to the beauty parlor to remove the scars?” Esther looked at her palm and said.
