Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther couldn’t focus on working all day. She didn’t know whether it was because of what Sarah had said to her in the morning.

Just as she was about to calm down to draw a manuscript, the woman in the portrait entered her mind, as well as the scene Terence went to see her early in the morning. She did not want to think about any of this, but she could not get rid of them.

Because she didn’t finish her work during the day, she could only work overtime.

Unexpectedly, before she started, an uninvited guest arrived at the studio.

“Esther, as long as you want, I can immediately kick her out.” Serena supported her very much.

Anne stood there with her hands crossed and looked quite proud. Esther asked in a mocking tone, “Do you have to make trouble for me so that you can be happy?”

She really did not understand why Anne still didn’t let go of her. She had been forced to be like this and let Anne win. Maybe as Serena had said, Anne’s greatest interest in her life was to bully her half-sister.

“Esther, don’t be so hostile every time you see me. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable.” Anne walked towards Esther with a smile as she took something out of her bag.

It was clearly Anne who was so hostile every time. How could she blame Esther? Esther was speechless.

Anne searched in her bag for a while and took out an invitation card and handed it to Esther with a smile. “Esther, have you forgotten that this weekend is my birthday party? Remember to come this weekend.”

Esther glanced at the pink invitation card on the table, and then looked at Anne who smiled so sweetly at her. She did not understand why Anne would suddenly invite her to this birthday party.

She had never been invited to Anne’s birthday party in previous years, and she had never offered to attend it.

“Remember to come with Terence. Don’t come alone.” Anne added.

After she said this, Esther finally understood why this woman invited her to the birthday party. Anne wanted to make a fool of her!

It must be because of what happened at the bar yesterday. Ross’s comment on Terence made Anne feel elated. Thus, she couldn’t wait to find an opportunity to insult Esther again in public.

“Is there anything wrong? Esther, are you afraid to come?” Anne saw that Esther’s expression was not very good and deliberately asked. “Are you afraid to come alone, or are you afraid to come with Terence?”

Before Esther could say anything, Anne smiled again. “Actually, it’s nothing. Sooner or later, you will come and see us, and Terence will also meet us. Anyway, you can’t make him more handsome by hiding him so well. We will only think you’re unconfident. That’s not right.”

Esther tightened her grip on the pencil, and her expression became even terrible.

Serena, who was standing outside the door, finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She strode in and threw the invitation card on Anne. She said angrily, “Esther won’t attend any birthday party. Miss Anne, get out of here right now!”

Anne glanced at her with a cold expression. “Are you trying to protect Esther’s self-esteem?”

“Get out of here, and never come here again, so as not to dirty my floor!” Serena reached out and grabbed Anne’s arm. She pushed Anne out while cursing, “You shameless bitch. Scram!”

“Esther, do you think that no one will know it since you hide him like this? Can you pretend that you’re happy? It’s pitiful and sad that you don’t even dare to attend a birthday party!” Anne was angered being pushed like this. She shouted as she walked out.

“Shameless woman! How dare you still shout here?” Linsay also joined Esther and Serena.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as they were about to throw Anne out, Esther suddenly stood up from her chair and said, “Wait a minute!”

Linsay and Serena turned around at the same time, with an expression that showed that “we could deal with her without you”.

Esther waved her hand at them and walked to Anne. She stared at her seriously and said, “Did I say I’m not going?”

This shocked others. Serena said anxiously, “Esther, this woman clearly has no good intentions. You can’t go.”

“Right, Esther.” Linsay nodded in agreement.

Esther shrugged indifferently and looked at Anne, “No matter how sinister Miss Anne is, she won’t kill me, right? What am I afraid of?”

“Are you really coming?” Anne did not expect Esther to be so bold that she dared to agree to attend the birthday party.

Originally, she did not think that Esther would agree. She had only come here to have a try and insult her. She did not expect that Esther would agree after she irritated her.

Good! She would definitely not let Esther down.

“Don’t worry. We’ll be there on time.” Esther said this with a smile.

Anne finally left contentedly, but the smile on Esther’s lips faded bit by bit.

Serena and Linsay looked at each other, patted her shoulder, and comforted her. “Esther, don’t be afraid. We’ll go with you then. If she dares to do anything to you, I’ll ruin her birthday!”

Esther tried her best to smile at her. “Alright, don’t always be so rude. It’s just a birthday party. I won’t take it seriously.”

What Anne would do was just mocking her and suppressing her. After all, she had done it many times.

If Esther didn’t even dare to go to a birthday party, it would really show that she was unconfident. Besides, she never thought that her husband was ugly and inferior to others. Appearance could not be used to judge a person.

She thought that whether a man was good or not depended on whether he truly loved her or not, instead of his appearance or family background. The only thing that made her unconfident was that he didn’t have any feelings for her. It had nothing to do with his appearance.

She couldn’t help but recall that today was the anniversary of his ex-wife’s death. Because of his ex-wife, he could forget the mistakes she made last night. She was a bit sad when thinking of this.

There were still a few days left until the weekend. Esther was worried about how to talk to Terence and ask him to attend Anne’s birthday party with her.

Terence didn’t go out often, and he wasn’t even willing to go back and visit her mother with her. Esther thought he might not agree to attend a birthday party.

However, she had promised Anne that she would definitely attend her birthday party. She couldn’t go alone. Otherwise, she would be ashamed of that.
