Love in the dark Chapter 111
Zoey lifted her head and met Sarah’s gaze calmly. This degree of humiliation was nothing compared to what she’s experienced over the years, so an apology was no big deal. Zoey’s fist clenched, and she pushed down her frustration and turned to Sarah.“Sorry,” Zoey said nonchalantly, saying nothing more.There was nothing she could do except pretend that she wasn’t feeling ashamed at all. A bright person all her life, Sarah quickly stopped crying and grinned.“Alright, alright. How can we blame Miss Jenner when I was the one who asked her? It’ll just make me look petty if you make her apologize!”From the outside, Sarah played the perfect lady who was easygoing and didn’t mind the humiliation. Shawn looked slightly disappointed as he watched Sarah smile. He loved seeing her smile. It was familiar and nostalgic to him, but he couldn’t place a finger on what was different. He passed Sarah a clean handkerchief and instructed her.“Wipe off your tears before laughing.”Sarah accepted the clo

Zoey glanced at the glass of wine before her, not saying a word. Laurence sat beside her lazily, his arms draped naturally over her shoulders. The top two buttons of his shirt had come undone, making him look more relaxed. On the contrary, Zoey was stiff as a poker.Sarah drew a deck of cards from a drawer and sat cross-legged on the carpet. She had casually clipped her hair back, but a few loose strands still fell on her cheek, showing her fair, slender neck and intricate features.She asked, “Want to play poker? It’s fairly simple.”Zoey had no idea what Sarah was up to, but she knew it wasn’t going to be anything good.“I’m good.”Shawn snorted loudly before Sarah could reply.“What a spoilsport you are, Miss Jenner.”“So be it,” thought Zoey, too lazy to argue with him.Pretending to smooth things over, Sarah pleaded with Zoey.“Three people is not enough; we need four. Please help us out, Miss Jenner.”Sarah was already humbling herself, so Zoey would only look rude if she refused

Zoey’s body was beginning to burn up from all the alcohol, but Laurence’s words woke her up like a bucket of cold water. The wine had reached the top of her throat and was burning. Feeling the blood drain from her face, Zoey pulled her pale finger back, no longer expecting him to stand up for her like a knight in shining armor. All three of them were messing with her just to make things difficult. Zoey’s head was already spinning from the drinks she had, so she shakily picked up a glass of warm water and sipped half of it, but the burning sensation in her stomach didn’t ease up at all. The game continued. Zoey knew that there was no way she could beat them. Fury igniting within her, she ignored the cards on the table and filled her glass with wine.“We’re done. I give up.”With that, she downed her glass. The living room went pin-drop silent as nobody spoke. Sarah glared at Zoey, her smile hardening, while Shawn said nothing, his eyes dark like a deep lake, resembling the calm before

Dazedly, Zoey realized that she’d been an ignorant fool. After all, no one could win a battle of wills against Laurence. Sarah wasn’t trying to help Zoey out of kindness. She just didn’t want the men to feel sorry for Zoey, who looked miserable. When men start pitying a woman, it usually meant that they were about to fall in love.Zoey’s eyes were still glued to Laurence as she whispered, “I accept my loss.”She quickly emptied the two bottles Larry brought in. Being the apathetic bystander he was, Laurence never stopped her even once. Zoey wasn’t feeling as unsteady as before, so she pulled herself up using the back of the sofa and rushed into the bathroom, shoving past the man in front of her in the process. She doubled over the toilet bowl and emptied the contents of her stomach. Though noticeably livid, Laurence remained silent. As for Shawn, for some unexplainable reason, he felt uncomfortable hearing her throw up. After a few minutes, Zoey finally got up from the floor and washe

Zoey still remembered his promise to protect her all those years ago. Even though this happened when they were teenagers, she never forgot. Back then, Zoey had shielded Laurence from the whip and was in so much pain she couldn’t even cry out, and tears could only stream down her face.She was still a proud young lady then, so she gritted her teeth to hold back her cries and muffle her sniffles. Laurence had been blindfolded, so his hearing was keener. Zoey leaned limply against the wall in a dark corner, her face pale.Laurence asked, “Were you crying?”Zoey hastily brushed her tears away and denied it.“No, I wasn’t.”The young man smiled.“I heard you.”Zoey remained silent, embarrassed. After some time, Laurence’s voice broke the silence.“When we get out, I’ll protect you.”His voice carried through the air, its hoarseness causing a ripple in the still atmosphere. Wide-eyed, she responded.“I’m afraid you’ll lie to me. Let’s make a pinky promise.”He grinned and answered gruffly.“

Laurence didn’t like watching her confess her love to another man and show them her vulnerable side. He tightened his hold on Zoey’s waist to prevent her from falling off his lap. He purposely bit down on her lip in retaliation and sighed pretentiously when he tasted her sweet blood.“Why don’t you ever learn?”“Why do you always do things that displease me?” he thought.Laurence’s suit jacket was draped over her body, and the car’s heater was on, but Zoey still felt cold.She clutched his sleeve tightly and asked, “Can you take me away?”Laurence remained indifferent and peeled off her fingers one by one, looking at her pointedly.“Zoey, I’m Laurence.”Not the man she wanted to confide in. Laurence had never seen her so drunk before, so he was surprised to see her acting this way. Zoey nodded.“I know.” Looking down, she mumbled, “I know you’re Laurence Scott.”His surname was Scott, and he was seventeen this year. Confused, Zoey was suddenly thrown back to the chaotic summer, and her

Unfortunately, Zoey woke up the next day with no recollection of yesterday’s events. The hangover she had was horrible, and she was only left with pieces of memory here and there. Her head was heavy and throbbing while her stomach ached like she hadn’t thrown everything up yet.Slowly sitting up from the bed, she racked her brains trying to remember what she said to Laurence last night but couldn’t recall anything except for her wailing while hanging on to him for dear life. So, she sat on the bed dejectedly, in a daze. It wasn’t that she regretted drinking so much out of anger but that her body was feeling very uncomfortable. Laurence was gone, and she was wearing a clean silk nightgown. Occasionally, memories of her throwing up on Laurence when they arrived home and clinging to him would return to her. Zoey worried that she accidentally let slip something she shouldn’t have. After all, they did say that drinking makes one spill their guts, and she had no intention of pouring her he

Despite still being at a loss, she nodded in agreement dazedly.“Okay.”She must have said something to offend Lauerence last night, and not to mention, the man hated to see her crying or acting weak. She gave up getting answers and decided to stop bothering him.“I’ll hang up now.”Laurence’s expression remained unchanged as he tossed his phone onto the table and looked at everyone else in the room.“Go on.”The manager, who had been presenting earlier, bit the bullet and continued explaining his plan. He wiped off his sweat, pitying himself for having his turn when the president was in a bad mood.“Regarding the acquisition of ES Corp, we’re still at the evaluation stage. The company’s–”Laurence, who sat at the head of the table, cut the manager off.“I’ve already given you months to conduct the evaluation. Has there been any progress at all?”The manager immediately broke out in cold sweat. This acquisition case was tough, so he explained.“Mr. Scott, the terms the other party is o
