Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“You want me to kowtow to your mother?” Clark frowned with obvious dissatisfaction.

Although they used to be a couple, Terence’s mother was only in her early sixties. How would a venerable elder in his eighties like him kowtow to her?

“You insulted her. Shouldn’t you be sorry for what you’ve done?”

Clark still frowned and refused.

Terence smiled at him mockingly. “You have always denied my identity as a member of the Gibson family. Why do you shy away from it now?”

Clark looked at him and nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”

Terence said. “Thank you, dad.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The press conference was held in the afternoon. After a simple explanation of the situation, the public relations department cut off the hair samples from Clark and Terence under the witness of everyone and handed them to the media for an open paternity test.

The result would take three days, so there would be another press conference in three days.

While waiting for the result, everyone was curious and looking forward to it.

Other than the onlookers outside, the people who were expecting the most were Amanda and Anne.

Although she had something insidious known by Esther and did not dare to act rashly, she would not let go of Esther easily. Anne would try her best to get rid of Esther’s threat.

If Terence did not have the bloodline of the Gibson family, then she would not even need to continue to fight with Esther. In that case, Esther would never be able to live in the same world as Anne.

Amanda, on the other hand, was very confident from beginning to end. She also very confidently comforted Anne and Sarah. “I heard from James that Terence had a quarrel with Clark in the office after the board meeting. Terence didn’t want to do the paternity test at all.”

“I also heard it from my colleague.” Although Sarah did not participate in the board of directors, she also worked in the group on weekdays. “The group directly contacted several media reporters. Uncle Terence can’t refuse even if he wants to. He had no choice.”

“Yes.” Amanda nodded. “I saw Terence’s pale face on TV just now. I knew he didn’t want to do it.”

“I didn’t expect grandfather to be so wise today.” Sarah laughed.

“Terence was so arrogant to go against Clark.” Amanda nodded in agreement.

“Anne, why are you so quiet?” Sarah looked at Anne who had been silent and asked curiously, “Weren’t you always the one who was most interested in it? Don’t you feel happy now?”

Anne straightened her body and said with a bitter tone, “I won’t be happy until the result comes out. I really don’t know what to say.”

“There is no need to wait. It must be obvious.” Sarah curled her lips and mocked, “Terence and Esther will soon be expelled from the Gibson family. What a pathetic couple!”

“Really?” Anne asked in doubt.

This was what she had ever been wishing for.

“Of course. Just wait and watch.” Sarah said with a nod.

Hearing Sarah’s affirmative answer, Anne finally let out a sigh of relief. They secretly looked forward to the paternity test results three days later.

At night, Esther immediately went up to Terence as soon as he returned to the bedroom. She looked at him with concern, “I saw the video. Why did you suddenly agree to do a paternity test? Did he threaten you?”

Terence smiled. “No, I was willing.”

“But didn’t you always refuse?” Esther asked suspiciously. She didn’t believe that Terence would do it willingly.

“That was before. I didn’t want to take a paternity test because I felt that it was a humiliation for my mother. Later, I didn’t want to do it to protect you and our child. I can no longer escape it now, and dad has agreed to my conditions.” Terence said truthfully.

“What did dad promise you?” Esther asked hesitantly.

Terence was silent and did not immediately answer her question.

Esther quickly added, “It doesn’t matter. This is a secret between you and your father. You don’t need to tell me.”

“It’s not a secret.” Terence shook his head. “I just asked dad to promise me before the press conference. If the results show I am his son, he must kowtow three times before my mother’s memorial tablet to apologize.”

Esther was a little surprised. Looking at the slight depression on his face, she understood that he really did not want to do this paternity test.

He had always thought highly of his mother’s reputation and had always insisted on it. It seemed that he really couldn’t hold on any longer, which was why he made this request.

“Did dad promise you?”

“Yes.”

“That’s good.” Esther nodded. She hugged his waist tightly with both hands and leaned her face into his embrace to comfort him. “It doesn’t matter. I believe that mom will understand you.”

“Yes.” Terence nodded. He raised his hand to caress her hair and said, “But I also promised dad one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“If I weren’t his son, I would have brought my wife and child out of the Gibson family immediately.” Terence paused and whispered in her ear, “Are you afraid?”

Esther was stunned for a moment before she looked up at him.

He had such an agreement with Clark. Didn’t he always trust his mother so much?

Terence always understood her thoughts and explained, “Just assumption.”

“I’m not afraid,” Esther shook her head.

“Why?”

“I also believe in our mother as you do.” Esther said seriously, “I don’t care about your identity, and I won’t be afraid of the trouble it brings. No matter where you go, I will be by your side. I won’t let go of your hand till the end.”

Terence smiled and tapped her nose. “My lady, you can really talk.”

“Is there a reward for my words?” Esther said with a smile.

“What reward would you like?” Terence asked with interest. He was really curious about what she would want.

“No money, no jewelry, and no daily stuff. Just choose the award yourself.” She deliberately made things difficult for him.

Terence seriously thought for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. “Do you want this?”

“No…” Just as Esther was about to deny it, her lips and tongue were taken by Terence.

She widened her eyes and looked at Terence. She could feel his unique aura spreading between her lips and teeth, as well as his arms that hugged her tighter and tighter. Then she closed her eyes quietly.

Well, what she really wanted was his passionate kiss.

The kiss that Terence gave her was long and affectionate. It was not until she was almost out of breath that Terence finally released her lips. He whispered in her ear, “How was it? Do you like my kiss?”

Esther was about to be melted by his passion. Her face blushed with shyness, but she shook her head shamelessly, “No, I don’t.”

“Are you serious?” Obviously, Terence did not expect her to say that since Esther had always been shy about such things.

“One kiss cannot satisfy me!” Esther said as she stood and kissed his lips, continuing the passion between them.

Terence was satisfied with her transformation, but he would emphasize one thing before that.

He released her and tapped her lips with his finger. “Remember, you can only be so enthusiastic about me.”

Esther smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Terence. My heart is for you.”

“Are you sure?” Terence raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

“Yes. I’m telling you the ultimate truth of mine.”

“Alright, I’ll reward you with another kiss,” Terence said as he lowered his head. Their flame of passion lit up their night.
