Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Hearing her call his grandfather ‘Dad’, and say that she wanted to give his uncle a son, James was so angry that he almost choked on the sandwich and coughed badly.

“James, what’s wrong? Take it easy.” Seeing his face turn red from coughing, Amanda hurried to pat his back and handed him a glass of milk. She said in a reproachful tone, “Even if you get a lot of work in the company, you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”

Esther didn’t know what she should do as his aunt in this situation, pretending to see nothing, or patting his back with concern?Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She was still struggling when James had caught his breath. He gave her a hostile glare and then resumed his breakfast with his head down.

Esther also went back to her breakfast silently.

After breakfast, Gill called Esther to her and told her that Lauren had put all the gifts for her family in the car.

After expressing her thanks, Esther did not leave, but looked at Gill instead, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Gill raised her eyebrows. “Is there anything else?”

“Mom…” Esther worked up the courage to speak, “Can I have Terence come back with me? It might be not good for me to … go back alone.”

In fact, she was left out the day she married Terence, which had embarrassed her a lot. The news also spread among the Cusack family’s relatives and friends, so she didn’t need to care how others would think of her coming home on the third day. She was just afraid that Betty would teach her lesson when seeing her back alone.

If Terence went back with her, Betty would at least be less harsh on her for his sake.

Gill had guessed that she would make the request. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Usually, I will not force him to do something like this. If you want him to go back with you, go ask him yourself.”

She did that herself…

There was no need! Terence would definitely not agree.

He hated going out and also disliked her. Furthermore, she kicked him out of bed last night and he must harbor a grudge against her now.

Despite that, in order for her to return from the Cusack’s safe and sound, she got the nerve to walk towards the backyard.

It began to rain. The backyard was large with pavilions and blooming flowers, just like a holiday resort in the rain.

According to her memory of that night, Esther walked deep into the backyard and finally found the room called Parasol Tree Garden.

The door was tightly closed. She didn’t know whether Terence was inside or not.

Standing under the archway, Esther brushed off the water dripping from her clothes, took a deep breath and raised her fist to knock on the door.

With no response, she went harder and knocked a few times before an unfriendly voice came from inside the room. “Stop knocking and just speak!”

Esther’s heart skipped a beat from the cold voice. She opened her mouth and said, “Well … I’m Esther….”

“What’s up?” His tone remained unfriendly.

She regained her courage and continued. “I … I’m going back to the Cusack’s. Could you please go with me, Terence?”

“Sorry, I have no time.”

“But … it’s already the third day after our wedding. You are my husband and should go back with me.”
