Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Are you alright?” As soon as James entered the lounge, he saw that she was about to die and asked with concern.

Esther composed herself and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

She didn’t want to stay with this man for a minute. She wanted to leave, but her weak legs gave out and she fell to the ground.

James, who was beside her, instinctively reached out to support her. He frowned and mocked, “If you can’t drink, why did you come here to taste the meals?”

“Do you think I want to drink? Isn’t it all because of your gentle and beautiful wife?” Esther twisted her arms, trying to break off his hands.

At this moment, Anne’s sharp voice sounded at the door of the lounge, “What are you doing?”

Esther was startled by this sudden voice. She instinctively pushed James away. She looked at the exasperated Anne and then looked at James, who also had a bad expression. She did not say anything and walked back to the door of the lounge weakly.

Anne grabbed her arm and threw her on the sofa, shouting excitedly, “Esther, you bitch! You didn’t even spare a moment to come and seduce my James.”

Esther knew Anne’s temper and knew that she would not believe anything she said. She could only look at James angrily. “James! Did I seduce you? If you are a man, explain everything immediately!”

“What’s wrong?” Amanda, who was originally discussing with the hotel manager outside, immediately ran in when she heard Anne’s shout. She glanced at the three people in the lounge, walked to Anne whose face was red from anger, and pulled her into her arms to comfort her. “Anne, what are you doing? Don’t you know that pregnant women cannot be angry?”

“Mom, this woman is seducing James again. How can I not be angry? I’m still here, but she dares to do this. I don’t know what she will do when I’m not in the Gibson’s.”

When she heard her cry, Amanda’s eyes narrowed as she glared at Esther.

“Anne, you misunderstood.” James finally spoke. “Esther didn’t seduce me. We didn’t do anything just now. Esther was just a little drunk. I just helped her up.”

“Helped her up? I clearly saw the two of you leaning closely together.”

“That’s because of the angle,” James added with some embarrassment. Anne was always making a scene. He didn’t like it and became impatient.

“Because of the angle? You are lying!” Anne still shouted angrily, “James, do you still have feelings for this woman? If that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your wish. I’ll go and abort the child.”

“Anne, what nonsense are you spouting?” James was spoiled, so he couldn’t tolerate a woman acting so wildly and threatening him. “Do you think I care? If you don’t want it, go to the hospital and abort it. I don’t care. Anyway, you are not the only woman in the world who can have a child!”

“You…!” Anne was so angry that she covered her belly with one hand.

Amanda was even more frightened by her state. While scolding her son, she anxiously comforted her, “Anne, don’t be angry. Don’t you understand James’s personality? He is just angry. Don’t lower yourself to his level!”

“My… belly hurts.” Anne could not argue with James, so she could only frown and pretend that her belly hurt to gain sympathy.

Seeing her cry out in pain, Esther finally said, “Alright, stop messing around. Hurry to the hospital.” As she spoke, she went to hold Anne’s arm.

As soon as she got close to the two of them, Amanda slapped her hard. “It’s all because of you, bitch. If there is anything wrong with Anne and the child, I won’t forgive you. The Gibson family will not forgive you!”

She used a lot of strength and it really hurt. Esther felt wronged and angry. She couldn’t help but retort, “I already said it yesterday. Please don’t flatter your son too much. Who cares about your precious son?”

“You dare to talk back?”

“Why don’t I dare to talk back about something I haven’t done? Your precious son just said that he was the one who helped me out. Does it have anything to do with me? If you are so afraid that your son will be seduced by me, then please let your son stay away from me in the future and take a detour when he sees me…”

Esther was really angry. She took a deep breath, stabilized her body, and glared at James who was silent next to her. Then, she walked unsteadily towards the door of the lounge.

Anne continued to pretend to be wronged belly is really not feeling well. Can I ask James to take me to the hospital?”

Amanda was angry with Esther’s words. When she heard her say that her belly was uncomfortable again, she could not help but scold her son, “James, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send Anne to the hospital!”

James was also annoyed. It was not only because of Anne’s unreasonable behavior, but also because of Esther’s rude words. However, he did not dare to say anything now. He carried Anne and walked to the entrance of the hotel.

The more Amanda thought about it, the angrier she got. She followed James and Anne into the car. She took out her phone from her bag and dialed Terence directly.

At this time, Terence was in a meeting. After hearing Amanda’s shout, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He made a sorry gesture to everyone and got up to walk out of the conference room.

“Amanda, I’m in a meeting. What’s up?” he asked in a deep voice.

“Your wife has already angered Anne to the hospital, and you still have the mood to have a meeting?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean?”

“Just now, when we were having a meal at the hotel, Esther went to seduce James. Anne was so angry that she went to the hospital.” Amanda said angrily, “Terence, I didn’t mean to interfere. But your wife is not self-loving at all. I can ignore it if she seduces someone else, but she seduced my son. Do you think I can tolerate it?”

James, who was in the driver’s seat, impatiently explained, “Mom, I just said that Esther didn’t…”

“You still said she didn’t? I saw you guys hugging each other.” Anne cried and interrupted him, “You’re still calling her Esther so intimately…”

“Unreasonable!” James snorted.

The dispute between them entered Terence’s ears word by word, causing him to frown even more.
