Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Linsay told her that she was just shopping near here and wanted to visit her.

Esther said without thinking, “It’s just a hotel. Nothing special. I want to borrow a dress. If you have time, can you go there with me?”

“Are you going out?”

“Yes.”

“Will Terence go with you?”

“I don’t know where he is now, and I don’t want to ask him to go with me.” She still felt bad when thinking about what he had done last night and she wouldn’t even want to ask him.

“Oh, alright then.”

Esther thought that she had concealed the hickeys well. Unexpectedly, when she met Linsay, Linsay immediately saw them and said, “Esther, I didn’t expect that you two just had a special night. Show what Terence left on you.”

Linsay deliberately pulled her collar while talking, and then she saw the hickeys on her shoulder that had not been covered.

Her expression changed but she quickly smiled. “Wow, it was really a special night.”

Esther blushed at her sudden action and quickly pulled up her collar. “Linsay, don’t do that. I feel so embarrassed.”

“Why are you embarrassed? You are married now.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You are right.” Esther took her hand and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go eat something first and then pick a dress.”

“What do you want a dress for?”

“I have a banquet to attend in the afternoon.”

“Oh.” Linsay smiled. “You rich people just have a lot of activities.”

There were a lot of dresses in the dress store, but most of them were sexy suspenders. It was early summer now, and there was even no shawl.

Esther finally found a dress with a collar. Although she didn’t like the color of the dress very much, it was still suitable for her. The most important thing was that it could cover the hickeys on her shoulders and chest.

“What do you think?” She turned around and asked Linsay.

Linsay was thinking about something and did not hear her words. Esther raised her voice and said, “Linsay!”

“What?” Linsay quickly came back to her senses. “What did you say?”

Esther looked at her and asked. “What are you doing? You have been listless all morning. Did you not sleep well last night?”

Linsay touched her cheek. “I’m fine. I just remembered something.”

“I asked you if this dress is suitable for me.”

“It’s pretty good. Although the color is not so good, it’s still special.” Linsay said after sizing her up.

“Then I will take this one.” After Esther made up her mind, she entered the changing room again.

Linsay picked up the same dress on the shelf and pulled the zipper behind the dress. She asked the shop assistant, “This kind of zipper doesn’t look very sturdy. Are you sure it won’t break up?”

The assistant smiled. “Of course not. The quality of this dress is very good. Moreover, your friend has such a good figure, and there won’t be any problem.”

Linsay nodded.

After picking out the dress, Esther was finally relieved. Esther and Linsay walked around the neighborhood again and bought some souvenirs and snacks for their colleagues.

At lunchtime, Esther suddenly received a call from Terence. He asked, “Where are you now?”

“Didn’t I leave you a note? I’m out shopping and now we are having lunch.”

“Give me an address. I’ll pick you up.”

“Are we going to the banquet now?”

“No, it’s still early.”

“Then…”

“Aren’t you tired? Don’t you need to have a rest?”

Esther blushed and instinctively thought of last night. She said, “Then you don’t need to pick me up. I can go back myself.”

Terence didn’t insist on his idea. He just agreed and hung up the phone.

Seeing her hang up the phone, Linsay smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Terence to be such a considerate man.”

Considerate? He was overbearing and cold, and he always made people scared when looking at him. But he was still quite considerate sometimes. This is also why she didn’t hate him at all while he clearly liked someone else and he didn’t treat her very well.

After bidding goodbye to Linsay, Esther returned to the hotel. When she entered, she tried to make fewer noises.

Sure enough, she saw Terence taking a nap on the bed in the same posture he was used to. He was lying sideways on the big bed, his head pressed against the bent arm. He slept quietly and peacefully, and he looked charming.

Looking at him, Esther unconsciously thought of what had happened last night, and her face became hot again.

She gently put down the bags in her hands. After changing into pajamas, she stood in front of the bed and looked at Terence for a moment. However, she did not go to bed, but went to the sofa and lay down there.

Because she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to sleep by his side.

When she woke up, Esther found that Terence had already gotten up. He was standing in front of the dressing mirror to change clothes.

She sat up from the sofa and rubbed her eyes. She asked, “Are we leaving now?”

“Yes.” Terence did not look at her. “Hurry up and change your clothes.”

“No need.”

“Do you have suitable clothes?” Terence finally turned around and looked at her. There were so many hickeys on her exposed skin. They were still very clear.

Esther felt embarrassed, thinking that it was all Terence’s fault. He knew that she was going to wear a dress today, but he still left so many hickeys on her like this.

Seeing the complaint in her eyes, Terence looked a little strange. But he did not say anything. Instead, he urged, “Hurry up and get changed.”

“I can put on makeup myself. And I picked a dress in the dress store in the morning. I think it’s not bad. I’ll get it now.” She walked towards the cabinet where all the bags were.

However, she still could not find the dress that she had picked in the morning. Only then did she become a little anxious.

What happened? Did she lose it? Or was it taken by Linsay?

Seeing her pale face, Terence asked, “What’s wrong? You can’t find it?”

“I will ask Linsay.” She quickly took out her phone from her bag and dialed Linsay’s number. Linsay seemed to be taking a nap. She picked up the phone after a long time. Her voice was a little hoarse, “Don’t worry, I’ll take a look.”

After half a minute, she said, “It is indeed here. I’ll send it over now.”

Esther breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the dress was still there, it was fine.
