Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After the banquet, Anne drove away all her good friends. Then she went home and lost her temper.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She called James three times, but he did not answer. James explained to her by text message that he was at a meeting.

Anne was so angry at the moment that she didn’t care about his meeting. She was waiting for someone on whom she could take it out.

When James finally answered the phone, she shouted angrily, “James, you bastard! Damn liar! Why did you lie to me?”

James had been annoyed by them and he was going to reproach Anne, but he didn’t expect to be scolded by her instead. He frowned and asked, “Why am I a liar?”

“Why did you tell me that Terence is ugly? Do you know how embarrassed I was today?” Anne was so angry that she almost cried out. But even so, she still had a glimmer of hope that James would deny it and tell her that Arno who was present today was not Terence at all. It was Esther who set her up and tried to embarrass her.

Because she was so unwilling to admit that Arno was Terence and the husband of that bitch Esther.

James felt a little guilty, but then he thought for a while and asked crossly, “If I told you that the man in the hospital was Terence, would you be prepared to snatch him away from Esther?”

“You…!” Anne was furious, “I knew you did that on purpose! You knew that man was Esther’s husband, but you didn’t tell me! And you even told me that Terence was very ugly!”

Damn it, if James hadn’t told her that Terence was ugly, how could she be so embarrassed today?

Not to mention that night in the bar … She had made a fool of herself in front of Terence, but at that time she didn’t realize it. She even tried to seduce Terence and ended up in their trap.

Anne was so angry and embarrassed that she wanted to kill Esther, and herself!

James explained impatiently, “I didn’t know he was Terence at that time. When you asked me to show the video to my grandparents, I found out that he was Uncle Terence.” Then he sneered, “Anne, now you know how I felt at that time. Do you understand how embarrassed I was?”

“Then why did you lie to me that Terence is ugly?”

“I was just guessing.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me that you were wrong when you knew the fact?” Anne went crazy.

James said defiantly, “How can you blame me? You made eyes at Terence the first time you saw him in the hospital. If I told you that he was Uncle Terence, would you let Esther stay by his side? I’m afraid that you would have made a move on him.”

“You!” Anne said angrily, “How shameless am I in your mind?”

“How shameless? Why don’t you ask yourself?”

Anne didn’t know how to fight back this time. Maybe she actually felt guilty.

James was right. Ever since she met Terence in the hospital, she had always been obsessed with that man. She even risked losing James to ask for his number everywhere and tried her best to seduce him.

Before the banquet, she had even planned that she could dig up everything about him. If he had a decent family background, she would get rid of Esther and go with him.

But she didn’t expect…

However, no matter how guilty she was, it could not neutralize her anger and grievances!

“Anyway, you shouldn’t deceive me like this and embarrass me!” She shouted angrily.

“If you didn’t have any bad intentions, how could you get so embarrassed? You know that Esther has a handsome husband so you become jealous, and you want everybody to laugh at her and embarrass her!”

“James! How can you say that to me? Don’t you have the same thought as me?” Anne retorted, “Do you dare to admit that you are not jealous about her husband who is more handsome than you? Aren’t you jealous that she is now your Auntie? Don’t you want to see her make a fool of herself? Don’t you want her to cry and beg for your forgiveness? How can you take the high road?”

“You…!” James roared angrily, “Anne, you stinky and unreasonable woman, do you think you’re so irreplaceable that I can’t live without you? Tell you what, I’ve had enough of you! Just go on to steal Terence from Esther if you are that capable!”

After that, James hung up the phone.

Anne shouted furiously at the phone that had been hung up, “James, do you think you’re that great? You’re just handsome, wealthy, no … you’re not handsome at all, you’re way too uglier than Terence! You … ”

Anne couldn’t do it anymore, and she began to cry.

Betty had panicked when she heard their quarrel, so she hurriedly came out of the room when she heard Anne crying. She asked worriedly, “Anne, what happened? Why are you quarreling with James?”

“Grandma…” Anne hugged Betty and sobbed, “It’s all because of that bitch Esther. It’s all because of her…”

“My good girl, don’t cry. Tell grandma what she did to you?”

“She came together with Terence to set me up, embarrassed me at the banquet, and made me quarrel with James. I’m so ashamed …” She cried sadly as she glared viciously at Doris, who was walking down the stairs.

Doris heard that Anne was saying mean things about Esther, so she turned around and was about to walk upstairs.

However, Betty shouted at her back, “Stop right there!”

Doris took a deep breath and turned to look at Betty. “Mom, I think you’ve heard what happened just now. It was Anne who misunderstood that Terence was very ugly. She wanted to embarrass Esther but instead made a fool of herself. How could she blame Esther for that?”

“Esther did it on purpose! She set me up on purpose!” Anne retorted.

“Didn’t you do it on purpose? You deliberately set her up.”

“I…!”

“Anne, you held the birthday party every year, but you never invited your sister. Then why did you invite her this year? Isn’t this because you are up to no good?” After this, Doris did not want to argue with them anymore, because she knew that the more she argued, the more Betty would hate Esther. So, she said, “Mom, I’m going to the hospital.”

Betty glared at her angrily and ignored her.
