Love Is a Sweet Addiction

During the night, Esther tossed and turned in bed. She couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about James and what had happened today.

James looked furious when he knew that Esther had married Terence. James bought the earrings for her. He and Anne went to the hospital to humiliate her. These images flashed in her mind, making her almost unable to breathe.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

James had got together with Anne, so why was he pestering her? What did he want? He wanted to have them both?

Then Esther remembered Gill’s words. No matter what happened between her and James, she had married Terence. She shouldn’t think about James anymore, let alone guessing his thoughts.

Esther warned herself. “Stop thinking about James. You need to stop thinking about him. He has nothing to do with you anymore!”

She closed her eyes, trying to empty her mind and fall asleep.

After getting asleep with great difficulty, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She was stunned for a moment, and then she turned nervous.

After all, she was married. And she married a strange man. It was natural for her to feel nervous at night.

Who was it? Could it be her husband? Before she could figure it out, the door opened and a tall figure walked in.

So, it was Terence.

Esther unconsciously curled up on the big bed. In the dark night, she couldn’t see his face, but she could feel that he was very intimidating. Only her husband Terence was this tall at the Gibson’s.

She thought he wouldn’t come, but….

Because Esther was too nervous, she even forgot to turn on the light. She just clutched the blanket to her chest and stared at Terence, who was slowly approaching her.

As he got closer, she smelled his scent and some alcohol.

Did he drink? Drunk men were the most difficult people.

“You … why are you here?” Esther stammered.

Terence suddenly pressed down on her. He grabbed her by the chin and sneered, “Who else do you want it is? James?”

Because Terence was drunk, his voice was a little slurred. But Esther felt his cold and charming voice very familiar, as if she had heard it before.

But she didn’t figure it out because she was too nervous. And she couldn’t think about it because of the name he brought up.

Had he known that she used to be James’s girlfriend? Maybe. James pulled her out of the banquet hall in front of so many family members. Now, the whole family was probably discussing about her relationship with James.

Even Gill had known it. Terence was her husband, so he must have known it.

“Why are you silent? You’re guilty?” Terence asked again in that cold voice.

Esther opened her mouth and tried to explain, “I … I’ve broken up with him.”

“Then why did you call him in your dream? Why did you pull him in front of everyone?”

“I….” Esther didn’t know what to say.

She called James in her dream? When did she do it? At the wedding night?

Probably. After all, she had never seen Terence again after that night.
