Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After escaping from Terence’s bedroom, Esther ran towards the front courtyard and kept checking if he was chasing after her. Knowing that he did come, she slowed down and relaxed.

She was gasping while leaning against a pillar. After she caught up with her breath, she tidied up her dress and walked on.

But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

She left her phone in his room!

How stupid! Now she left her phone there, yet still didn’t manage to see his face clearly. And she was not going to buy a new phone.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

So, she decided to ask the servant to get the phone for her tomorrow. Besides, he wouldn’t retain her phone.

She took a glance at the backyard. As she turned back and was about to return to her bedroom, she was spooked by a shadow.

She opened her eyes wide and realized it was James. Why did he come here in the middle of the night? He looked gloomy and yet still handsome.

However, Esther was no longer interested in his businesses, and didn’t even want to speak to him anymore.

His presence reminded her of what happened during the day at her home. He and Anne looked gloating while she was punished by her grandma.

She took a step aside and wanted to pass him.

But quicker than she thought, James stood in front of her and blocked her way. He checked on her with his gloomy eyes. Her dress was messy and she was gasping.

“Good for you. After today’s punishment, you still managed to have fun with my uncle.”

In fact, James wanted her to defend herself and told him that she didn’t do anything with his uncle. It would be even better, if she could say it with tears and begged him to take her back.

This was what they saw in movies and TV series, and it was also what he had in mind most of the time.

However, Esther didn’t care for what he wanted. She smiled charmingly at him, “I am so used to grandma’s punishment, and what she did to me today was no big deal. Moreover, your uncle is good in bed, how could I be hurt? So….” She pretended to be shy to talk about it, “Forget it, I shouldn’t talk about this in front of my own nephew. We should be more cautious from now on.”

She waved at James, “I’m exhausted. I need to go back to sleep. My dear nephew, you should rest early too.”

“Cheap woman!” James sneered.

“What?” Esther pretended to be confused. She blinked at him and asked, “If sleeping with my husband is considered cheap, then what about you and Anne? How cheap are you guys?”

“So? Are you jealous?” She kept on mentioning Anne, wasn’t this jealousy?

James sneered, thinking to himself, “Cheap woman, let’s see how long can you pretend like this.”

Esther shook her head and smiled. Then she nodded, “Yes, I am so jealous and I am going crazy about it. You are such a rich, capable and handsome man, and how could Anne win your heart over me? I am so hurt.”

She shook her head again while passing him and heading back to her bedroom.

James got gloomier after this conversation.
