Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“You?” Doris shook his head. “Forget it. You just married into the Gibson family. It’s inappropriate to ask them for money. Now you are pregnant and your job is not as good as before. Don’t worry, so far, they haven’t said they don’t pay for medical care. They are just a little reluctant.”

Esther thought for a moment. It was true. She couldn’t afford the expensive hospital fee. She had to rely on the support of the Cusack family!

“They are going too far. The company was founded by Dad, and now the company has been taken by them but they refuse to pay Dad’s medical expenses. How greedy and cruel they are!” Esther said angrily.

Doris quickly put her finger against her lips and shushed.

Esther was not worried that Betty would hear it. Anyway, she was telling the truth. Doris was in a hurry to change the topic, “Alright, let’s not talk about your father. Let’s talk about you. How are you? Is Mr. Terence nice to you? How is the baby?”

When talking about herself, the anger on Esther’s face finally eased and she smiled. “Terence is very nice to me. He is very considerate and caring. You saw it just now.”

“That’s good.” Doris nodded. Her gaze fell on Esther’s belly. “How’s the baby?”

The smile on Esther’s face disappeared for a second. She stroked her belly. “It’s good.”

That’s right, her baby will be fine…

Doris finally relaxed and smiled with relief. “Before you married into the Gibson family, I was worried that you would have a miserable life after you married. I was so worried every day. Now I’m relieved.”

“I told you there was nothing to worry about,” Esther said with a smile. Before she got married, she was filled with fear and uneasiness about the future too.

God blessed her. She had Terence, such a good man. They got along so well with each other. Moreover, she had a baby now in her belly. If she could successfully and healthily give birth to this child, then her life would be complete!

Doris went to cook. Esther rested on the bed for a while, then got up and went downstairs.

When Esther passed by Anne’s bedroom, she suddenly stopped. Thinking of Anne hiring someone to rob her, she pushed the door open and entered.

Since it was Anne who asked someone to rob her, her mobile phone must be in Anne’s hands. Even if she lost the video, she could still get her phone back. After all, it was a new phone.

Although she and Anne lived under the same roof, she had never stepped into Anne’s bedroom. She was extremely unfamiliar with the furnishings and decorations inside.

Esther stood in the middle of the bedroom and glanced around. She first walked towards the bedside table and began to rummage through the drawers.

It was not in her bedside table drawers. She then walked to the dresser. As she searched the bottom drawer of the dresser, she found that it was locked. She entered Anne’s birthday date and it opened.

The drawer was filled with all kinds of ornaments, each of which looked quite valuable, but Esther was not interested in them. She was attracted by a document on the top.

The words paternity test on the document came into view. She was stunned for a moment and unconsciously took the document and flipped through it.

The paternity test was done only a few days ago, and it was an embryonic paternity test report. On the name column, her father used a fake name. Although it was just a fake name, Esther thought of James.

Anne went to take a paternity test. It had to be James.

Looking at the paternity test in her hand, Esther was so shocked. She never thought that the child in Anne’s belly might not be James’.

Anne’s life was full of adventures. She had so many boyfriends, but this was bold.

However, after thinking carefully for a while, Esther didn’t feel surprised.

Only she knew that Anne was found pregnant after she came back from Randall City. Before then, she had been pretending to be pregnant. And she had slept with Tyler in Randall City. Apparently, even she was suspicious of the child’s kinship.

Esther carefully looked at the result of the paternity test again. That’s right, the result showed that the child was not related to James. In other words, the child in Anne’s belly should be Tyler’s.

It was ridiculous to think about it. Obviously, Anne herself was not pregnant with the children of the Gibson family, but Anne mocked Terence’s bloodline all the time and taunted that the child in Esther’s belly had nothing to do with the Gibson family.

Just as Esther was in shock, a stern voice suddenly sounded from behind her, “What are you doing here?”

Esther was shocked. She hurriedly put the paternity test back into the drawer and turned to face Betty, who was in anger.

Betty walked over and glanced at her. “Why are you in Anne’s room and rummaging through her things? What did you steal from her?”

Betty glanced at the drawer behind her that had not yet been closed. As Anne’s dearest grandmother, Betty naturally knew that it was the drawer that Anne used to store the jewelry.

At this time, the drawer was open, and Esther was sneakily squatting in front of the drawer. Anyone would think that she was stealing the jewelry.

After all, she was caught in Anne’s room. Esther awkwardly opened her arms and said, “I was just looking for something. I didn’t steal anything from Miss Anne.”

“Looking for something? What can you look for in Anne’s room?” Betty did not believe Esther’s words at all and continued to look at her as a thief.

“Anyway, I didn’t steal anything. You can search me.” Esther was wearing a dress with no pockets. It could be seen at a glance if she had stolen anything.

However, Betty did not trust her, but she couldn’t really search Esther. She could only scold angrily, “Esther, you’d better not steal anything. Otherwise, I won’t let you go. Also, listen up. From now on, you are not allowed to step into Anne’s room again. Get out now!”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Hearing this, Esther heaved a sigh of relief and replied in a low voice, “Got it.” She then walked towards the bedroom door.

Doris, who heard the noise, had already run up from downstairs. She looked at Esther, who had a bad look, and said, “What’s going on, Esther? Why did your grandma scold you?”

“It’s nothing, Mom. I’m going back.” Esther now had a complicated feeling. It was not because Betty scolded her but because of the paternity test.
