Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Do you want to sleep here?” Gill frowned.

“What’s wrong? Can’t I?” Terence asked.

Gill smiled and said, “I mean, Esther is pregnant now, and she is still in a critical period. I don’t think you should sleep in the same bed.”

Esther blushed and glanced at Terence embarrassedly.

Terence didn’t feel embarrassed and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I know what to do.”

“You can’t control the sexual passion. I’m afraid you can’t. You’d better obediently return to your house.” Gill urged.

“Mom, I promise I won’t touch Esther. You should go back to your room to rest.” Terence was a little impatient.

Esther was so embarrassed that she almost buried her face in her chest. She did not expect Gill to be so straightforward, and Terence was not ashamed.

Gill looked at him and knew that she could not persuade him. She felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, she could only compromise. “Alright, take care of yourselves.”

After that, Gill walked to the door of the bedroom with Lauren.

They went to the first floor. After returning to Gill’s bedroom, Lauren finally couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Gibson, are you worried that they will develop a good relationship?”

Gill picked up a cup of water on the table and took a sip. She sighed helplessly, “It seems that there are many things that we cannot stop.”

“What does that mean?”

“I can tell that Terence has already fallen in love with Esther.”

“No way? That fast?”

Gill nodded. “I also did not expect it to be so fast.”

When she thought of Terence’s tender kiss on Esther’s hair just now, she felt very upset. After all, this was not the result she wanted!

“Mm…” Lauren thought about it and comforted Gill, “Mrs. Gibson, don’t worry too much. Mr. Terence treats Esther differently because she looks like Miss Shirly. As time passes, he will completely forget about Shirly. And he won’t have feelings for Esther any longer.”

Gill nodded and asked, “Perhaps, it is time for us to change our strategy.”

“Mrs. Gibson, what do you mean?” Lauren did not understand.

Gill pondered for a moment and shook her head. “Forget it. The most important thing right now is Terence’s bloodline. Let’s talk about the rest later.”

“Well, let’s talk about it in the future.” Lauren helped Gill to the bed thoughtfully. “Mrs. Gibson, go to bed early.”

After Gill and Lauren left, Terence stepped out of the terrace, looked around at the eaves structure outside, and then returned to the room to check the floor-to-ceiling windows and curtains.

Esther sat on the sofa and looked at him. She asked suspiciously, “Could it be that you suspect that someone did it on purpose?”

Terence was very cautious, so he would definitely be suspicious!

Terence didn’t even turn around and said, “I was wondering where this cat jumped in from and why it had such a huge power to directly hit you.”

Esther thought about it and shook her head. “At that time, because the light was too dim, I couldn’t see clearly at all. However, I felt that they shouldn’t have attacked me so early. After all, I just came back from Proley. And these days, they should be enjoying hearing the rumors of my baby’s bloodline.”

Terence nodded. After closing the curtains, he turned around and walked back to the middle of the bedroom. “It’s all right now. Rest early.”

Esther nodded, looked at him, and asked, “What about you? Are you going to stay here to sleep with me?”

“What? You don’t want me to be here?”

“Of course not.” Esther said hurriedly, “I just remember that you said before that you don’t like living in the main building. You like the backyard. It is much quieter.”

He was going to give up the quiet environment in the backyard for Esther? She would be moved…

Sure enough, Terence said indifferently, “Since you don’t want to live in the backyard, I can only stay here with you. After all, it is not good for the couple to live separately. Those people will think that we might argue.”

Terence was implying something, and Esther naturally understood his meaning. She stood up from the sofa, hugged his waist, and said to him, “Thank you… Thank you so much.”

“What do you want to thank me for?”

“In fact, I am also afraid that others will misunderstand that we have no feelings, especially Anne. She always feels that I am seducing her husband. I am almost annoyed to death by her.”

“Do you mean that we have feelings for each other?” Terence looked down at her.

“Anyway, I have feelings for you.” Esther raised her face and looked at him. “Yesterday, when James was mocking me for pretending to be happy, I disagreed with him… No matter if this child is from the Gibson family or not, I still feel happy. This has always been what I wanted to say to you. So, I don’t care about the gossip at all.”

For Terence, what she said were undoubtedly the best words he had heard today.

No matter how the people in the company gossiped about him, how the people talked about him on the Internet, he endured everything for her and the child.

“Oh … in the future, remember to say such good words to me every day. It’s pretty good for me.” Terence smiled and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead. “Can I take a shower first?”

“No, I want to hug you right now.” Esther did not care if he had taken a shower or not. She had just been frightened by the wild cat. At this time, she only wanted to hug him to ease the fear in her heart.

“Still afraid?” Terence knew she was still uneasy.

Esther nodded. “It’s quite scary.”

“If you are afraid, you can accompany me to the bathroom to take a bath. I don’t mind letting you in.”

Esther blushed and punched his chest. “Hooligan, I mind!”

“You’re already my child’s mother. What’s there to mind about?” Terence bent over with a smile. He picked her up from the ground. Esther exclaimed in a low voice. She hugged his neck and asked, “Terence, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want me to see you take a bath? Have you forgotten what Gill just told us? No…”

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Terence had already gently placed her on the big bed.

She blushed and felt embarrassed. He wasn’t going to carry her into the bathroom…

After putting her on the bed, Terence supported himself with his hands on both sides of her body and looked down at her from a close distance. “Be good and lie down. I will wash up as soon as possible.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“No, take your time. I’m not that timid.” Esther raised her hand and patted his handsome face. “I was just fooling around with you.”

Terence nodded. After getting off the bed, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
