Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Gill smiled gently. “Clark, I am as old as you. I’ve got weak eyes too. Let Amanda take a look.”

“Let me see.” Amanda was curious and waved at James.

James put his phone in front of Amanda. Her face went an ugly green when she watched the video twice.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” James was puzzled and asked.

Amanda coughed and said, “He’s Terence.”

“What?” James was stunned.

Amanda grabbed his clothes and said in a low voice, “Turn it off!”

Clark and Gill exchanged glances and smiled. “It seems like we still have sharp eyes.”

“Yeah. I didn’t expect Terence and Esther grow so intimate now. They even skipped the family dinner.” Gill pretended to blame herself. “I didn’t know what was going on. And Terence is too impulsive. I’ll talk to him later.”

“Yeah, you need to talk to him. He’s a grown-up. He shouldn’t be so willful anymore.”

After saying that, Clark turned to scold James, “But James, you were wrong. I told you to see your uncle a few days ago. You said that you would go another day. Now you can’t even recognize him. You made such a big fuss. Isn’t it embarrassing?”

James was indeed embarrassed, and his face twisted in anger.

Amanda looked at them and smiled as she spoke for James. “He’s busy with meetings and business trips these days. Terence has been staying in the backyard, so James couldn’t recognize him.”

After that, Gill helped Clark back to his room. James was so aggrieved that he immediately turned to Amanda and said anxiously, “Mom, what the hell is going on? Esther said that she had been together with Terence for six months. But he just returned a few days ago.”

“Didn’t you see that? She was lying to you.”

“But she didn’t look like she’s lying. Could it be that she didn’t recognize Terence either?”

“Maybe. I heard that Terence only went to the room once in the middle of the wedding night when she was asleep. Then he never left the backyard.”

“You mean … they haven’t slept with each other?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Of course not. Your uncle is sick. He might not even be able to do that.” Amanda changed the topic when James’s eyes flashed. “What do you want? Don’t tell me you’re still interested in her!”

“No! Mom.” James turned serious. “I’ve got may dates. I’m not interested in such a boring and calculating woman.”

“It’s good that you think so.” Amanda heaved a sigh of relief.

James finally broke up with Esther. Amanda didn’t want him to be attracted to her again.

…

After coming out of the hospital, Esther walked alone on the streets like a puppet.

Now she felt that she was a poor homeless woman.

She couldn’t go back to the Cusack’s or the Gibson’s, because she knew that neither Anne nor James would let her go.

She regretted it and blamed himself. Why did she say that to irritate them? She got happy at that time, but now she ended up miserably. They all knew that she was cheating on Terence. She would get punished when she got back.

After a while, Esther was tired of walking. She sat by the lake in the park and spent the whole afternoon watching people fishing.

Then her phone rang. It was Doris.

Esther knew what Doris was going to say, but she picked it up after a moment’s hesitation.
