Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After staring at the ceiling for a while, Esther suddenly sat up from the bed and decided to talk to Terence. She wanted to know whether he was willing to go or not.

But when she thought that today was the anniversary of his ex-wife’s death, she was very depressed and sad. She shouldn’t disturb him.

There were still three days to the weekend anyway. She could go see him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, to her surprise, she didn’t see Terence in the next three days.

Only after asking Gill did she know that he was living outside.

This was embarrassing. He went out to live, but left her, his newly married wife, in the Gibson’s to get along with other Gibsons. Wasn’t this too selfish?

To find him and ask him to attend tomorrow’s birthday party, Esther had to ask Gill, “Mom, do you know Mr. Terence’s address? I have something to ask him.”

“Why can’t you talk to him on the phone?” Gill blew the cup and lightly said. “Terence is in a bad mood these days. It is best not to disturb him if there is nothing important.”

“Terence is in a bad mood? Why?” She was puzzled.

Gill glanced at her. Without answering Esther, she immediately put down the cup and went back to her room.

Esther was confused. She didn’t know how she made Gill unhappy so that she even left without drinking the tea Esther had just brewed.

“Are you pretending to be foolish?” A familiar voice came from the second floor.

Esther looked up and saw Sarah and James walking down the stairs one after another. The one who was speaking was Sarah in the front.

“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago? It was the anniversary of my previous Auntie’s death three days ago. How can you forget it so quickly?”

Esther looked at them walking downstairs. Although she really wanted to get up and leave, she wanted to know about Terence’s whereabouts and why he was in a bad mood these days.

In order to make it clear, she could only endure it and stare at Sarah. “What do you mean?”

Of course, she did not forget that three days ago it was the anniversary of Terence’s ex-wife’s death, but now three days had passed. Would Terence have to guard her for three days every year in the future?

Sarah leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down. After pouring herself a cup of tea, she poured another cup for James and asked him to sit down. Then she looked at Esther and said, “You don’t know anything, do you? Uncle Terence really loved my former Auntie. The year after her death, Uncle Terence went to live in their own house for an entire week. If Grandfather hadn’t been worried about his illness and forced him to move back, he would have lived there for a longer time. We didn’t know how he spent the anniversary of my former Auntie’s death after Uncle Terence went abroad for the next few years. But these days, I heard from my mother that he moved back to the villa they lived in.”

After Sarah finished speaking, she smiled maliciously. “Auntie, you are Uncle Terence’s wife. How could you not even know this? You even asked him where he went!”

Esther was a little uncomfortable because of what she said. She quickly glanced at James beside Sarah and saw that he was holding a teacup in his hand and looking at her with a smile. He was clearly laughing at her. As Terence’s wife, she didn’t even know that her husband had moved out.

“You definitely don’t know where their former house is, right?” Sarah smiled and shrugged. “But I don’t know either. James, do you know?” As she spoke, she turned to James, who was beside her.

James still held his teacup and sipped. “I only know that Uncle has one property in the Aastha Villa,” he said indifferently.

“That should be where it is. Coincidentally, the Aastha Villa was built five or six years ago.” Sarah said.

Aastha Villa … Esther had heard of it before. She only knew that it was a place where people with extraordinary wealth could afford to live. She had never been there before.

The reason why James and Sarah told her so much about Terence was to make her feel sad. Well, their goal had been achieved. At this moment, Esther was indeed quite surprised and disappointed.

“Thank you for telling me this, but it doesn’t matter. Terence has to move back sooner or later. I’ll go to work,” she smiled at them as she stood up from the sofa, in order not to let them discover her disappointment.

With that, she grabbed the handbag beside her and walked towards the gate.

…

In the afternoon, Esther received a message from Anne, reminding her of attending the birthday party the next evening.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Hesitating for a moment, Esther replied with “OK”.

Tomorrow would be Anne’s birthday party, but she hadn’t even seen Terence now, let alone asking him to attend it with her.

Would she really have to go alone tomorrow night? And then would she be teased by that bitch Anne?

Serena shook her legs and stuffed snacks into her mouth. “But this is not that difficult. Anyway, they haven’t seen Terence before. I can just find a handsome guy to replace him. Am I right, Linsay?” She turned to ask Linsay.

Linsay was surprised and said, “Are you serious? If they see Terence in the future, won’t that be embarrassing?”

“Let’s talk about it when it really comes. We now need to focus on tomorrow.” Serena turned to Esther and said, “Esther, are you sure you don’t need us to protect you?”

“You don’t even have an invitation card. I’m afraid you won’t even be able to enter the gate.” Esther glanced at her.

“You’re right.” Serena curled her lips and asked, “Then what do you think of the method I just mentioned?”

“Is there any better suggestion?”

“I think this is the best.” Serena patted her chest in a dignified manner. “Tell me what kind of handsome guy you want. I can get him for you.”

Esther thought for a moment and said, “I’ll think of a way after I go back tonight.”

“OK, I’ll prepare one for you first. If you can’t find Terence, just let me know.”

Esther helplessly smiled, feeling that this method was funny and boring.

After returning home, Esther first went to ask the servant if Terence had returned. The answer was no. Mr. Terence did not return to the Gibson’s.

Esther was speechless. Even if it was the anniversary of his ex-wife’s death, how could he leave for so many days? Would he not come back and live in the Aastha Villa in the future?

Till midnight, Esther still had no idea where Terence was. She had no choice but to get his phone number from Clark and call him.
