Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Those are just small problems. It doesn’t matter.” After Terence finished speaking, he looked at her again. “Esther, why have you inquired so clearly? Are you eager to go back to City R?”

Upon hearing his words, Esther immediately shook her head. “Of course not. I just care about your work.”

In fact, she still thought of going back to City R. After all, she was pregnant now. Terence finally had a chance to leave here and return to his original position. Wasn’t this moment that Gill had been waiting for?

Although she had not thought of how to tell him about her pregnancy and was not sure if he would allow her to tell the Gibsons about her pregnancy, it was always good to be thoughtful.

In order not to let Terence think too much, she used a small spoon to dig a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. She smiled and said, “Taste my Tiramisu. It is not bad.”

Terence looked down at the dessert she handed over and frowned. “As you know, I don’t like desserts.”

“Give it a try. I guarantee you will like it.” Esther passed the spoon to his mouth again.

Terence couldn’t resist her, so he had to open his mouth and put the dessert into his mouth, and gently taste it.

“How is it? Not bad, right?”

“Not bad.”

“Then eat a little more.” Esther seemed to enjoy the feeling of feeding him. She used a small spoon to dig a piece again and brought it to his mouth. She said smilingly, “You have to eat more desserts.”

“Why?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Haven’t you heard that people who like to eat desserts like to smile. You usually smile too little. This is not good.”

“So, you like to laugh so much because you like to eat dessert?” Terence raised an eyebrow.

Esther nodded. “It’s probably related. Do you want more?”

“No.” Terence shook his head in refusal.

“Why? Didn’t you say it was not bad?”

“When I don’t like to laugh, you are not afraid of me at all. You can do whatever you want. If I am always smiling, won’t you look down on me even more?” He said seriously.

“How can I not be afraid of you? Can I do whatever I want?” Esther muttered in a low voice, and then she felt a little guilty. It seemed to be true. The baby in her belly now was obtained without his consent.

Well, she temporarily bore this crime, but to be honest, sometimes she was quite afraid of him, especially when he was cold, silent, or angry.

His innate noble temperament wasn’t amiable and easy to approach.

…

As soon as Anne returned home, she rushed to Amanda’s room with a little anxiety.

Amanda and Sarah were picking jewelry to prepare for the evening banquet. When they saw her walking quickly, they glanced at her unhappily and scolded, “Anne, how many times have I told you? You’re pregnant now, so walk a little slower. What if you accidentally slip and fall?”

“I’m sorry. I was too anxious.” Anne lowered her head slightly.

“What are you anxious about? Don’t tell me you lost to James again?” Amanda said.

In her opinion, what could happen to Anne who was in the limelight now? It was probably because she was too happy and spoiled, so she would find trouble with James all day long and quarrel with him all day long, and then run to complain to her.

However, she was pregnant, and Amanda could only tolerate her again and again.

“No. Why do you think of me like this? You make it sound like I’m not sensible.” Anne frowned as she habitually acted cutely.

Amanda was quite fond of this. Moreover, Anne was still having the Gibson family’s little great-grandson, so her temper was naturally very good. “Tell me, what made you leave in such a hurry?”

“I really have something urgent to tell you.” Anne glanced in the direction of the door and deliberately lowered her voice, “I heard that Esther is pregnant and doesn’t want others to know.”

Sure enough, when she said this, Amanda and Sarah were both stunned and almost said in unison, “What?”

“Esther is pregnant,” Anne reiterated.

“How is this possible?” Amanda murmured with a shocked face.

After a moment of shock, Sarah had an incredulous look on her face. “I thought Uncle Terence was not capable. I didn’t expect that not only would he be able to do it, but he was also quite capable. He only left for a month and Esther was already pregnant.”

“Who said he can’t do it? I think he can do it well.” Last time, after he was secretly drugged at the wedding, he pulled Esther into the lounge to have sex.

It was just a guess made by some bored people in the outside world due to his illness.

Anne still had a good impression of Terence, the man who once made her flip.

“Do you think if Esther is pregnant, will grandpa call Uncle Terence back to City R?” Anne asked worriedly.

Amanda pondered and did not speak because she did not know either.

Sarah said in a huff, “This is for sure. Otherwise, why would Terence, who always said that he didn’t want a child so early, suddenly let Esther get pregnant? It is clear that he wants to make use of Esther’s pregnancy to make himself better.”

“If Esther were to give birth to a son, Terence and Esther would be so powerful and be able to fight against James.” Anne was a little anxious, “What should we do? I just got pregnant, and I just made Grandpa happy. Esther immediately got pregnant after a few days. Then will Grandpa not love me and the child in my belly anymore.”

“He won’t, but he will not like you that much.” Sarah sighed helplessly. She patted Anne on the shoulder and comforted her, “Amanda, don’t be too nervous. Who knows if Esther will be able to give birth to a son? Besides, with Uncle Terence’s physical condition, maybe he will get a deformed child.”

“That’s true!” Amanda, who had been silent all this time, finally nodded with a sigh of relief. “I heard that Terence has never wanted to give birth to a child because he can’t give birth to a healthy child. Even if he finds someone with the same blood type, he may not really be able to give birth. He made Esther pregnant so quickly, maybe because he wanted to use this sick child as a chance to return to the Gibson Group. So, we don’t have to be too nervous.”

“But if Terence successfully returns to the headquarters, he will still be a threat to James.” Anne was worried about this.

“About this…” Amanda thought for a moment, then shook her head. “It was indeed a little difficult.”

“Esther…” Anne spat out hatefully, “Why is this woman always so lucky!”
