Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther sneered, “That doesn’t mean you’ll be his bride.”

“Let’s wait and see.”

“Wish you luck.”

“I will. After all, you’re my sister. When I become the matriarch of the Gibson family, I will take good care of you and your husband. At the very least, I will leave you the house. But if someone else becomes the matriarch, she might drive your crippled husband out.”

“Anne, no matter what, Esther married him for you. You can’t say that to her.” Doris stared at Anne angrily with tears in her eyes. “You’ve stolen her boyfriend, and you’re going to be the matriarch of the Gibson family. Aren’t you satisfied with everything?”

“No, I’m very satisfied!” Anne turned to Doris and sneered, “You took my father from my mother. Now, I get your daughter’s boyfriend. Let’s just call it even. You don’t get to be angry at me.”

“I’ve told you that your father and I got together after he got divorced. Besides, this has nothing to do with Esther. If you hate me, then just come at me. Why did you hurt Esther? No matter what, she is your little sister!”

Anne shouted angrily, “I’m not a child. If it weren’t for you, he would never have divorced my mother. You two will be the sinners forever. Plus, I don’t have any sisters, so stop flattering yourself!”

“Mom!” Doris was about to retort, but Esther stopped her. “Stop talking nonsense with her. We should go.”

“Yeah. You might be late for the best time to get married.” Anne looked relaxed as she smiled and held Esther’s arm. “Let’s go. I’ll walk you out.”

Esther coldly shook her arm away, “No need. I don’t have any sisters either.”

“But I want to do it. I want to see your husband. James told me that he’s extremely ugly.” Anne was still smiling.

Esther clenched her hands, trying to subdue her anger.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

She did not know how ugly Terence was. That night, she did not see his face because the light was off in the bedroom. However, she had decided to marry him, and she didn’t care what he looked like.

The only thing she cared about was his illness. After all, that night was a lingering fear to her.

This was a wedding without guests. The groom didn’t show up, and it was not even held in a hall.

There were only some necessary proprieties. It was so boring that Anne, who had expected the fun, got disappointed. She whispered, “How could Mr. Sickly be so arrogant? He doesn’t even show up for his wedding?”

Anne paused for a moment and then guessed. “Or … he’s too sick to come here? What about tonight? He just let Esther sleep alone?”

Esther did not know how bad Terence’s health was. But she would love it if she could spend the night alone.

With great difficulty, Esther sent Doris away, whose eyes were red and swollen. Anne also left with contempt. After taking a break and having lunch delivered by the servants, Esther went to the Gibson’s ancestral hall with the butler. There were a lot of things she had to do there, which almost exhausted her.
