Love Is a Sweet Addiction

It was said that this Russell had a strange temperament, and he was really strange!

A moment ago, he was beaming with joy at this painting, but the next moment, he changed. An ancient painting was not enough to offset the hatred between him and the Gibson family?

“Come, please take a seat.”

“Thank you.” Terence sat down on the right side of Russell.

Russell turned his head to talk to Korbin. While he was not paying attention, Esther leaned over to Terence and said, “What should we do? He seems to be…”

“It doesn’t matter.” Terence turned his head and gave her a comforting look.

Esther did not understand what his words meant. Did he have a way to get Russell to sign the land to him? Or it didn’t matter whether he could take the land or not? It should be the former. After all, he was so determined to get the land.

No matter what, she had to be patient.

Under Korbin’s instructions, a beautiful girl came up to make tea. Her movements were skillful and elegant. Watching her make tea was a visual enjoyment.

With her “performance”, the tea fragrance immediately spread from the tea table.

“It smells so good…” Esther could not help but praise, “I didn’t expect you to like the tea.”

Russell chuckled. “You look different from other women. You remind me of a person. Mr. Gibson is so lucky to have such a wife.”

“You must be joking.” Terence smiled.

Esther was shy and hurriedly said, “Mr. Russell, you are mistaken. I just like to drink tea, so I know something about tea.”

“You are too modest.” Russell laughed and said, “But I like the active and elegant girl like you. It’s a pity that you have married. Otherwise, I have many grandchildren.”

Esther felt embarrassed.

Terence, on the other hand, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and maintained his polite smile. “Mr. Russell is joking again.”

Mr. Russell nodded. “Let’s get down to business.”

After saying that, he paused and glanced at them. “I wonder how much do you two know about the Fairy Mountain? Don’t tell me that you haven’t even been to the Fairy Mountain and don’t even know the exact location?”

Terence and Esther looked at each other. Esther smiled and said, “Coincidentally, we only arrived there two weeks ago.”

“Oh? Then can you tell me how many firtrees there are?” Russell took a sip of tea.

Esther was a little speechless. That was too difficult.

She only knew that there were two rows of firtrees beside the stream, but she did not notice the exact quantity. Ordinary people would not deliberately count how many firtrees there were.

“There is a total of 23.” Just when she thought that she and Terence were going to be stuck to this question, a calm voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

She turned around in surprise and stared at Terence. “You actually know?”

He had turned around and left without even entering the Fairy Mountain that day, and he actually knew how many firtrees were there?

Oh, by the way, she almost forgot what Anne had just told her. He and Miss Shirly knew each other there, and they also fell in love there. It was natural for him to be familiar with every grass and tree there. It was not strange at all to know that there were 23 firtrees.

There seemed to be some kind of bad emotion surging in her heart. She took a light breath and tried to adjust her emotions.

Hearing Terence’s answer, Russell was obviously surprised. “It seems that you are very familiar with that place.”

Terence smiled. “I wonder what price Mr. Russell wants to sell the land at. I hope Mr. Russell can give me a better cooperation plan.”

Russell picked up the teacup and had a taste of the tea. After a while, he said, “You are so smart. You have already guessed that I was not sincere in selling that land, right?”

Esther was slightly surprised. Russell was not sincere in selling the land? Why did he spread the news?

“There is no absolute in everything.” Terence said, “Mr. Russell, if you think that piece of land is meaningless to you, I hope you can consider transferring it to me, because that piece of land is really meaningful to my family. If I get it, I will be eternally grateful to you.”

The sound of a teacup falling on the table was heard.

Esther was startled. She looked at Russell in astonishment, then she looked at Terence, who was still calmly watching Russell.

What exactly happened? Why was Russell angry?

“Well… Mr. Russell, what happened to you?” She asked carefully and then tried to explain, “Well… If we have offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive us.”

Terence stood up from the chair. “Since Mr. Russell is not willing to sell the land, it is useless to say more. We will not disturb you. Goodbye.”

After that, he held Esther’s wrist. “Let’s go.”

Should they leave and go back home?

This was the first battle between Terence and James. If he went back like this, how could he explain to Clark? How could he persuade everyone to stabilize his position in the Gibson Group?

Esther took a few steps and reluctantly broke away from Terence’s large palm. She turned back to look at Russell and said, “Mr. Russell, please speak frankly. This land is really important and meaningful to us. I really want to cooperate with you.”

Russell looked at Terence. He sneered, “I see that Mr. Gibson has such a strong personality. You don’t have the slightest sincerity to get the land.”

“Sincerity is built on mutual respect and trust.” Terence forced a polite smile. “Mr. Russell has been thinking of ways to tease my family from the beginning. In order to take the land, I have kept silent for half a day. If Mr. Russell thinks this is not sincere, then I really don’t know what is sincerity.”

“Terence, let’s sit down first.” Esther pulled Terence back to his chair and said to Russell, “Mr. Russell, I’m sorry. We…”

“Mrs. Gibson is so clever and knows how to take the whole situation into consideration.” Mr. Russell praised.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thank you, Mr. Russell.” Esther forced a smile and said, “Actually, I just hope that we can reach cooperation.”

Mr. Russell raised his eyebrows in confusion. “Why are you so interested in this piece of land? She didn’t even hesitate to exchange the painting with me.”
