Love Is a Sweet Addiction

If she didn’t see it at all, wouldn’t she reveal herself?

“Yes.” Esther knew that Betty would call her, so she didn’t hide it. She smiled at Betty and admitted, “I wanted to get my phone back, but I didn’t expect to see something that I shouldn’t have seen. Sorry, it was not intentional.”

Anne’s face turned white. She thought that Esther had indeed seen it! The last glimmer of hope in Anne’s heart was shattered.

“What phone are you looking for?” She continued to play the fool.

“Anne, what are you pretending to be? I know you ordered someone to snatch my phone away,” Esther sneered, “Do you know how pitiful I was when I was robbed? I broke my head when I fell, and I even lost a new phone.”

“Who said I ordered people to rob you?” Of course, Anne would not admit it.

“Don’t pretend. This accident has been going on for so long that I don’t intend to mention it any further. There’s no need for the video. If it has been deleted,” Esther glanced at her pointedly. “You should think about what you should do next.”

Anne clenched the corner of her clothes and glared at her. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just hope that you won’t harass me again in the future and hurt me. If I suffer any harm…” Esther smiled, “I’m not sure what I will do. Take care of yourself.”

Esther pushed open the door and entered her bedroom.

Anne followed closely behind her and closed the door behind her.

“What? You still have something to say to me?” Esther glanced at the door that Anne had closed.

“Did you see something in my drawer?” Anne asked knowingly.

Esther did not answer, and Anne spoke again, “Alright, I admit it. I suspected the baby in my belly. So I asked Tyler for a sample to do the paternity test. However, the result shows that it is not Tyler’s baby. I can finally rest assured.”

Esther picked up the cup and drank some water while nodding her head.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Anne could see that Esther did not believe it at all, and she said angrily, “Esther, what do you want?”

“What do you think? What else can I do?” Esther looked back at her.

“You…” Anne glared at her and gritted her teeth. After a few seconds of struggle, she suddenly knelt at her feet.

Esther was startled by Anne’s sudden action. She instinctively took a step back and glared at her. “Anne, what are you trying to do? Get up!”

Anne, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was kneeling to her. It had never happened before in her life. No wonder Esther was so nervous.

If Amanda and the others saw it, they might misunderstand Esther and find trouble with her.

Anne, who had just been indifferent, had tears in her eyes immediately. She pulled Esther’s skirt and whispered, “Esther, I was wrong. It has always been my fault. I let you down. Because of your mother, I hated you and bullied you since I was a child. As long as you have something, I swear to take it away. I have my beloved mother. I also want to protect her. But she died. Because of your mother’s intervention, she died early. How can I not hate your mother and you?”

“I said that my mother met your father after he divorced your mother. Your mother’s death has nothing to do with my mother.” Esther retorted.

“Alright, I won’t mention the past anymore. I just want to tell you … I hate you and hurt you because I feel sorry for my mother.” Anne choked, “I admit that it was my fault for having a relationship with James, but didn’t you always say thank you to me? Thank me for snatching this womanizer from you. Although I had always been unwilling to admit it, I knew in my heart that James was not a good man. He had a high status, but he was a playboy, and his attitude towards me was getting colder. When I’m sad, I always vent my anger on you. I’m jealous of you. I’m jealous that you can marry a man who treats you sincerely. Esther… You are much happier than me. I must admit this. That’s why I’m begging you, okay? James doesn’t love me anymore. If they know that the baby in my belly is not the descendent of the Gibson family, they won’t let me go.”

“Sit up first. It makes me uncomfortable.” Esther said, a little impatient.

Esther did not believe that Anne would repent and did not want to hear her pretend to be pitiful, but she would still feel uncomfortable if a pregnant woman kept kneeling at her feet.

“Can you forgive me and let me go?” Anne did not get up and looked up at Esther with tears in her eyes.

“Do you think you can hide such a big thing if I don’t tell you? When the child is born, everyone will know.”

Anne hurriedly nodded. “I know, I have been thinking about this question. As long as you don’t tell them in advance, I will think of a good way to help myself get through this crisis.”

She made an oath, “Esther, as long as you are willing to help me hide it, I promise that I won’t find trouble with you in the future. I won’t bully you anymore.”

She even kowtowed to Esther. Esther was scared and she quickly stopped her. “If you continue like this, I will immediately tell Amanda about this!”

Anne then stopped kowtowing and stared at her with a wronged expression, “Esther… I was wrong. I apologize to you. I don’t want to be chased out of the Gibson family. I don’t want to…”

Esther looked at her tear-streaked face, but in the end, she still could not bear it.

Esther had never thought of exposing Anne immediately. After all, once she exposed her, it would cause an uproar in the family, and Anne would be hateful. Anne would try her best to retaliate. Asa pregnant woman, Esther was weak.

To protect herself, Esther would not do so much. It was also Terence’s intention.

After sending Anne away with difficulty, Esther let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

Terence always felt that she was very scheming to hope Anne would divorce James. He wronged her. With such a good opportunity, she even promised Anne to let her go and help her hide the secret.

Was it because she was too stupid or too kind?
