Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Over the years, Terence had dreamed about the woman for countless times. However, she always smiled, waved at him and left in the end. Last night was the first time he had hurt her.

He didn’t know why he had the same dream all the time.

Suddenly, he heard an unfamiliar ring. It pulled him back to reality. Terence looked in the direction of the ring and saw a phone flashing in the corner.

He got out of bed and walked over on his long legs. Then he bent down and picked the phone up.

It was a woman’s phone. There was a picture of a young girl on the screen.

Terence was surprised. He took the phone and walked to a curtain on the wall. He slowly pulled it open. A portrait of a woman was unveiled behind it.

It was an old oil painting. The woman in the painting had exquisite features. Her skin was as white as snow. Her bright eyes glittered with a faint smile.

The girl on the screen looked very alike the woman.

Terence was even more surprised. He immediately called someone with the phone.

“Hello, may I ask….” Someone picked it up soon.

“Find out the owner of this phone number.” Terence interrupted his assistant and added, “Now.”

“Oh, alright, Mr. Terence, please wait a moment.” Assistant Larry replied respectfully and began his search.

In two minutes, he replied, “Mr. Terence, it belongs to a young woman named Esther Cusack.”

“Esther.” Terence muttered. He stared at the woman in the painting on the wall. The woman’s name was not Esther, but Terence felt that this name sounded familiar.

A chaplet and a wedding dress. Some gold and silver jewelry.

The room was full of these wedding things. The Gibsons sent them over yesterday. They were very generous. The things were all very exquisite.

It should be a big day for Esther. But nobody was happy. Instead, there was much crying all the time.

Doris started crying when the Gibsons sent the wedding dress over yesterday. Her eyes were swollen after she cried for a whole day.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Esther had tried to comfort her, but it didn’t work.

Esther was very disappointed at Doris’ cowardice. Otherwise, they would not have suffered at the Cusack’s. She would have moved out with Doris long ago.

“Doris, you need to stop. Today is a big day for Esther. If you keep crying, you will bring bad luck to her.” Anne smiled as she walked in. She touched the red wedding dress and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry on the bed. She pretended that she was surprised. “The Gibsons are so rich. Although they are not going to have a wedding ceremony, they send all good things here. I am so envious of Esther.”

“However, James is the eldest grandson and the first successor of his family.” Anne smiled proudly. “He will definitely have the wedding of the century. Mr. Sickly could never compare to him.”

Hearing Anne’s words, Doris cried harder.
