Love Is a Sweet Addiction

She hugged his waist affectionately and continued, “I’ve done the blood test. It’s a boy. Are you happy?”

James never expected that Anne would get pregnant so suddenly. He didn’t even want to get married and have a child so early!

He wasn’t an idiot and didn’t want to end his single life so early. Moreover, Anne wasn’t the kind of woman he would love so much and be willing to give up his single life.

But now, he suddenly had a child. Did he have to marry her?

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” Anne looked up at his tense and handsome face. “James, don’t you want to defeat Esther? Or do you want her to defeat you only because she has a child?”

James felt irritable and shook his head. He was holding the B-ultrasound list in his hand, but he was not happy at all.

“James, don’t you want this child?” Anne continued to act coquettishly. “Or you just don’t love me and don’t want to marry me…”

“No.”

“Then why are you so serious?”

“I … I just feel that it happens so suddenly.”

“You are surprised, right?” Anne smiled. “Actually, when I first found out that I was pregnant, I had the same feeling. I hoped the doctor had made a mistake. And I even wanted to secretly do the abortion. But when I thought of Esther, who is married to your uncle, I was reluctant to kill the baby. Afterward, I decided to have a blood test. If it was a boy, I would keep it. Otherwise, I would just do the abortion. I didn’t expect that even the heavens would like to help us and give us a boy.”

James was moved by her words. It was indeed necessary to have a son before Terence and Esther if he wanted to stabilize his status as the sole successor of the Gibson family.

“However, James, don’t tell your family or friends that I’m pregnant.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want others to think that I tricked you into marrying me.”

“Alright.” James’s heart was in a mess again.

Was he really going to marry Anne for a child? He was reluctant to do this, but Anne had been pregnant, and it was a boy. It would be a bit cruel for him to kill the child.

“James, what are you thinking?” Anne asked carefully.

Seeing that James did not look happy at all, she was a little uneasy. She was afraid that he would force her to kill the child, and that he would ignore her from now on.

Fortunately, he did not do so. He lightly kissed her on the forehead and said, “I was thinking how to tell grandfather about our marriage.”

“As long as you don’t threaten him with the child, you can say anything.” Anne suppressed the joy in her heart.

Great! James finally decided to marry her!

…

Because she had slept too much in the afternoon, Esther tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to fall asleep. She kept thinking about the strange woman she had seen in the Fairy Mountain.

She tried to remind herself not to think about it. If she continued like this, she would definitely go mad like that employee of the Anetly Group. However, after less than ten minutes of silence, that terrifying scene popped up in her mind once again.

She finally understood that the more she forced herself not to think about one thing, the more often it would appear and follow her.

The house was very quiet at night, and it was also silent in the large bedroom. For the first time, Esther felt scared in the bedroom.

Even the rustling sound of the wind outside was like human crying, which came into Esther’s ears non-stop.

Esther unconsciously shrank and covered herself with the blanket. She stared in the direction of the window.

Through the window, she could not see the outside clearly, but she could see countless shadows swaying on the windowsill, and she was unable to distinguish whether it was a tree or a human.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was a human figure!

Her eyes popped and she rubbed them with her hands. The figure was still there, and the strange whistling sound could still be heard. She suspected that it was psychological. But because she was too afraid, she still got up and rushed towards the bedroom door barefoot.

Outside the bedroom, it was also quiet and dark. She became even more afraid. After a brief pause, she ran towards the light, regardless of whose bedroom it was.

When she rushed in, James was coming out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. He was shocked by her.

“There’s a ghost…!” Esther was probably scared out of her mind. She hugged James, who was in a daze, and muttered, “Help … There’s a ghost…”

After figuring out what was happening, James glanced at Esther, who was tightly stuck to him like a koala. He showed a mocking smile and said, “Esther, is this your new trick to tempt men?”

Esther shook her head and pointed in the direction of her bedroom. “Really, there’s a ghost. If you don’t believe me, you can go take a look…”

“Are you inviting me to your bedroom?”

“No, no…”

Although her behavior was abnormal and inconceivable, he was still pleased, for that she, who was always aloof, rushed into his room and hug him like this.

Didn’t he want her to hug him and make nice these days?

“Esther, your husband is in the backyard. Even if there is a ghost, you should go find him, right?” He patted her on the shoulder and then pushed her away. He looked down at her and said, “You ran over to me naked. I’m afraid Uncle Terence will be unhappy if he knows this, right?”

It was early summer, and the pajamas she wore were sexy. After what she had just done, the clothes had long become messy.

Esther looked down, glanced at herself, and then looked at James, who was only wearing a towel around her waist. She instantly blushed with embarrassment.

“I’m sorry, I…” She took a step back in embarrassment. She knew that James would not believe her, but she still explained, “I was just too scared just now and happened to see the light in your room. That’s why…”

She didn’t know that this bedroom belonged to James. However, even if she knew, would she stop in that situation? She wasn’t sure.

“I’m sorry, I really don’t have any other intentions. I’m leaving first…” She retreated and turned to leave.

However, James grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He looked at her and sneered. “What? Aren’t you afraid of ghosts now?”

“I…” Esther had d scalp tingle. How could she not be scared? But, compared to ghosts, she was more afraid of this man. She was afraid that if she stayed in his room any longer, not only would he misunderstand her, but also Terence would misunderstand her.

“Are you really willing to leave like this since you’ve broken into my bedroom with such great effort?” James continued to tease Esther. After that, he even forcefully held her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

Esther was angry and helpless. She could only push and hit his naked chest. “James, let go of me!”
