Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Beef with green pepper, chicken with mushrooms, and green vegetables.” Esther smiled, “It tastes good. Terence, eat more.”

Terence nodded. He stepped into the kitchen, picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it a few times.

“How is it? Does it taste good?” Esther forced a smile.

Terence’s expression gradually changed to ugly.

“Is it not tasty?”

Terence asked, “How many times did you put salt?”

“Just once. Is it salty?” Esther pinched a piece of beef and put it into her mouth. She just chewed two times before spitting it out with a frown.

It was too salty to eat!

How many times did she put salt just now? Two or three times? Esther couldn’t remember…

“Did you put the salt of the chicken in the beef?” Terence tried the chicken. It was completely tasteless!

Esther tried the chicken as well. Sure enough, it had no taste at all. Esther became embarrassed…

Esther thought, ‘How could this be? I have never made such a mistake since I started cooking. How can I fail tonight? It is not my style of doing things.’

‘I can’t do two things at the same time. I must have been distracted by the matter of my pregnancy. That’s why I made dishes like this.’

“What is it that made you so out of it?” Terence pinched her chin with one hand and lifted it up slightly, carefully sizing her up, “Don’t tell me nothing happened. I don’t believe it.”

Esther was a little uncomfortable with his scrutiny. She forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing. Maybe I just woke up and my mind was a little muddled.”

Esther had not thought of how to tell Terence about her pregnancy. How could she tell him the truth at this time?

“Is that so?” Terence did not believe what Esther said.

“Sure.” Esther removed his large palm from her chin and said, “You can go outside and watch TV first. I will make another one.”

“Let me do it. I don’t think you can do it well even if you make another one.” Terence said, “Is there anything else in the fridge? Go and take it out.”

“You make it sound like you can cook.” Esther was a little speechless.

“I can learn how to cook online. Aren’t there a lot of tutorials on cooking online?”

“You want to learn to cook now?”

“Can’t I?”

Esther nodded. Terence could indeed learn to cook online. She just didn’t believe that he could make any good dishes.

She walked to the fridge and rummaged through it before raising her voice, “There are ribs, eggs, fire legs, and beans in the fridge. What do you want?”

“Ribs.” Terence was using his phone to search for a tutorial on cooking ribs.

After looking for a while, Terence looked up at Esther and asked, “What do you want to eat? Braised ribs, steamed ribs, or…”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Esther replied, “Steamed ribs.” Although she liked to eat braised ribs, considering Terence, she had to eat bland food.

Terence said, “You don’t have to pick a simple one for me.”

“I’m not choosing a simple one for you. It suits your taste.”

“Are you so virtuous?”

“I am!” Esther curled her lips in dissatisfaction, “You speak as if I weren’t virtuous in the past.”

After being driven out of the kitchen by Terence, Esther returned to the living room and turned on the TV. However, she looked woebegone. She was struggling with how to tell Terence that she was pregnant.

Esther was so tangled that even after Terence brought the food out of the kitchen, she still hadn’t made up her mind. After thinking about it, she decided to wait first.

She was not mentally prepared, not to mention Terence.

The steamed ribs made by Terence were moreish and looked good. Terence added salt to the chicken, making it tasty.

To get rid of the uneasiness of her pregnancy as soon as possible, Esther deliberately smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to not only know how to make sandwiches, but you are also quite talented when it comes to Chinese food.”

“Are you touched?”

“I’m very touched. It seems that if I have a small illness in the future, I won’t have to worry about no one cooking.” Esther picked up a piece of ribs and put it into her mouth.

To be honest, it was delicious. Moreover, it was the first time that Terence cooked for her. She should finish them, leaving not even a residue.

However, facing the delicious and meaningful dinner, Esther felt that she did not have a good appetite. She only desired to end this dinner as soon as possible.

After dinner, Terence even took the initiative to help Esther wash the dishes.

This scene should be very warm and happy, and it could touch any woman. After Esther was moved, she carefully asked, “Terence, can I ask you a question?”

“What’s the question?” Terence was putting the dishes on the shelf.

“If… Well, I mean if I am pregnant, what will you do? Will you want this baby?”

“No,” Terence answered without any hesitation.

What Terence said could not be described was like a needle that pierced into Esther’s heart.

Esther thought, ‘Terence answers me without any hesitation. It seems that he indeed doesn’t want a child. What should I do? Shall I tell him the fact that I am pregnant?’

‘What if he sends me to the hospital and asks me to have an abortion? Can I accept it? Will Mrs. Gibson go mad after knowing it? And this innocent baby, I don’t know if he will have a problem or not. How can I deprive him of his qualification to live?’

“Aren’t you going to consider it?” Esther took a deep breath and said, “It is a fresh life. It is your baby. Do you have the heart to let him die before he was born?”

“Rather than suffering after birth, it would be better to release him before he was born. This is the best choice for him.”

“But how do you know that there must be something wrong with him?”

“Just in case.” Terence turned around and sized Esther up, “What’s wrong? Are you pregnant?”

“Of course not.” Esther hurriedly shook her head, afraid that Terence would suspect her, so she deliberately added, “You haven’t touched me before. How can I get pregnant?”

“Are you blaming me for not touching you?”

“No.” Esther blushed slightly.

“Are you thinking about pregnancy again? Did Mrs. Gibson call you again?”

“No. She didn’t.” Esther continued to shake her head, afraid that Terence would see through her thoughts.
