Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Thanks, but no need. We will pass by the hotel you live in later. I’d better take it by myself,” said Esther.

Linsay nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”

After hanging up the phone, Esther turned to Terence and said, “I left the dress with my friend. She lives at the entrance of the ancient town. Let’s go and get it later.”

Terence nodded and turned around to continue tidying his tie.

The Anetly’s banquet was held in a five-star hotel in the downtown area. Esther checked the opening time of the banquet when they passed by the entrance of the ancient town. Worried that she would be late, she quickened her stride and hurriedly changed the dress with Linsay’s help.

She didn’t feel very sure of herself in her new dress and asked Terence nervously when she returned to the car, “What do you think of this?”

Terence sized her up from head to toe. Although it was not as beautiful as the cheongsam she wore yesterday, it was still good.

It should be said that a curvy girl like her looked good in everything. As long as she wasn’t scantily dressed, he would be okay with any of her choice.

Terence also took a closer look at her neck. The two hickeys left by him had been concealed by her cosmetics. But it could still be seen if people looked at her neck carefully.

It seemed that he was indeed too crazy last night. This was the first time for him to be so crazy about a woman…

However, a haughty man like him would never beneath his dignity to apologize. Instead, he suddenly said, “Don’t provoke me next time.”

Esther was speechless.

She wanted to argue, but he turned away and started the car again expressionlessly.

Esther gave up. This kind of thing was not worth arguing about. She’d better not provoke him.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The Anetly’s banquet was large and luxurious as expected. Only the influential people could get Anetly’s invitation.

Esther didn’t expect that Russell would spend so much just to celebrate his newborn grandson’s birth.

Shaw helped choose the gift for the baby. Esther did not look at it and only knew that it was a pair of platinum bracelets with blessing meanings.

In any case, there weren’t many choices to give the babies. Most people would choose this kind of bracelet and leg ring that had a good meaning. There was no need to spend too much effort.

Terence and Esther were invited into the VIP room by Russell as soon as they entered the venue. Russell also told them that only the all-around outstanding business people would be invited here. If not for the fact that they had performed so well yesterday, he would not have introduced such good connections to them.

Terence had just returned from abroad and needed to do some networking, so he didn’t decline.

The people in the VIP room were curious about them. As soon as they heard of Terence’s background, they showed respect and scrambled to talk to him.

Esther was not interested in the topic between men. After the small talk, she found an excuse to walk out of the VIP room.

She knew that Terence was a legend in City R. He was the most mysterious person in the upper class. People are all very curious about his appearance. But Esther did not expect to hear discussions about him everywhere at the banquet in Randall City.

Someone even started pointing at her and discussing her appearance, her background, the story that how she and Terence got together.

Esther did not understand how Russell had introduced her and Terence just now. Why did everyone know her identity?

However, this question was quickly answered by herself. Her heart sank when she saw Anne holding a wine glass in the corner and smiling at her. “Why was she here?” Esther wondered.

Anne was despised by Russell yesterday. Russell had no reason to invite her to the banquet.

Then Esther saw the man walking towards Anne. His neat suit didn’t conceal his lechery. Now Esther finally understood that it was Tyler, the grandson of Russell, who invited Anne here.

It seemed that this pervert Tyler really liked Anne, and Anne was so bold that dared to go to the banquet with Tyler without James.

Could this be Anne’s trick? She didn’t try to use her feminine wiles to get the land of the Fairy Mountain from Terence, did she?

However, it was Anne’s business to use a honey trap, but why did Anne make such big trouble for her? Now she was besieged by a group of women.

Some bold women even came up to ask her about the romantic history of her and Terence.

Esther was a little uncomfortable from being surrounded. In the end, she made an excuse and hid in the washroom.

She took a deep breath in front of herself in the mirror and silently cheered herself up, “Esther, you are Terence’s wife. Since you want Terence to gain a foothold in the Gibson family, you must cooperate with him and be a capable wife. They are only a group of women. Don’t be afraid. Just make friends with them!”

Esther thought it through. She made a cheering gesture at herself in the mirror, then opened the door and walked towards the banquet hall.

When everyone saw her, they quickly surrounded her.

Some envied her for marrying such a handsome man, and some admired her for her courage. They wondered why she dared to marry Terence since she knew that he was not in good health. There were also some vicious women. They asked her sourly, “Isn’t Terence in good health? How are you going to deal with that? Can he satisfy you?”

The girl who asked this question looked like an unmarried person. Everyone else also looked curiously at Esther.

Esther was a little speechless. They had questioned Terence’s appearance, and now they were questioning his manhood. If he hadn’t tormented her so badly last night, she would probably be tricked by this group of women and doubt that too.

This girl looked so young, yet what she said was bold and offensive. Obviously, she was up to no good!

Esther pondered for a moment and smiled at everyone. She said softly, “This is not the right place to talk about such a private topic.”

“It’s nothing. We’re all women anyway. Don’t you agree?” The girl looked around at the women beside her and said with a smile.

“Right. We’re all adults, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about it.”

“That’s right. Tell us, how many times do you usually do it at night?”

“…”

It seemed that this group of women would not let her go. The question was… how should she answer this question? How could she answer this question so that Terence would not lose face and would not be too extravagant?

“Seven times? I don’t remember.” In the end, she deliberately said with a confused face. “Laugh at my husband? I will scare you to death!” she sneered in mind.
