Love in the dark Chapter 148
Zoey was startled. She didn’t know whether she should laugh it off or play dumb. Their surroundings were quiet, and they were suddenly having a tender moment together. Fortunately, the nurse came over to help Zoey remove the needle, the interruption saving the latter from the uncomfortable situation she’d somehow gotten into.As they walked to the car, Laurence put an arm around her waist and held her beside him naturally. The masculine air about him was unwavering and invasive—it made her feel a little overwhelmed. Zoey’s body stiffened when he held her, and her walking pace slowed down involuntarily.With his arm around her, Laurence realized she’d become thinner in just a few days. Her slender waist, which he could encircle with one hand, seemed like it could break with a squeeze. Frowning, he thought it was a wonder she was so frail and often fell sick.A damp and cold wind enveloped them as they exited the hospital. Laurence silently took off his coat and draped it around Zoey’s

Laurence had long noticed that Zoey’s gaze was clearer than ordinary people's; her eyes held a look of pureness. She unconsciously relaxed her posture, making her appear soft and vulnerable. Without saying a word, Laurence picked her up and carried her in his arms, bridal style. Zoey was unprepared when her body was lifted into the air. Her slender arms circled tightly around his neck, and her exclamation of surprise got stuck in her throat.She stared blankly at his side profile: his clear and distinct features, his incredible handsomeness, his long eyelashes, and his eyes that reflected elusive brown hues in the light. She reached out and touched his thick and long eyelashes subconsciously. Realizing what she’d done, Zoey quickly apologized.Laurence stopped and looked down at her flushed cheeks with a meaningful look. “Do you like my eyelashes?” Zoey was embarrassed to admit it, so she lowered her eyes, thinking that pretending nothing had happened would work. “I just wanted to c

Zoey was flustered by his words. Steam seemed to be coming from the back of her head like a cartoon.She looked adorable as she responded seriously, “I didn’t mean that.”Laurence admired her face, which was flushed red with embarrassment. He knew she didn’t intend it that way, but he continued to tease her. “Aren’t you trying to make me stay?”Zoey believed only very few people could resist Laurence’s eyes if he looked at them as deeply as he was looking at her now. His gaze was focused and serious as if you were the only one in the world.Upon meeting his eyes, Zoey could feel her heart beating violently. She didn’t have a switch to turn off her feelings for him. She couldn’t control them as she wished.She whispered in defense, “I’m not.”Her face was so hot it could catch fire. She couldn’t tell if the heat was from her high fever or because of his words. “I’m just worried about your well-being.”Unexpectedly, Zoey confided the truth without filtering her thoughts.As the words lef

Laurence was relaxed and at ease even when doing mundane chores. Zoey listened to the water running in the sink and was reluctant to take her eyes off his back. It was rare for them to have such a moment.Laurence washed the dishes slowly and carefully and even washed his hands several times with dish soap. There were still water stains on his thumbs when he turned around and looked at Zoey. Seeing her in a daze, he smiled and said, “Help me take off my apron.”Zoey seemed to return to her senses and walked over to him slowly. She untied the apron for him and suddenly blurted out, “Mr. Scott, you look like a devoted family man when you’re doing this.”Laurence wiped his hands with a tissue. He frowned slightly as he could still smell the dish soap on them. “Do I?”Zoey looked at him seriously. “Yes.”Laurence wasn’t interested in being a devoted family man. He was only doing it to take care of a sick person. He couldn’t possibly let a patient cook and wash dishes for him. It wasn’t rig

Zoey’s messy hair and flushed cheeks made her appear fragile and beautiful.Her uneven breathing added to the tension in the cramped space as her face heated up. Her slender wrists were locked firmly in Laurence’s grip.She looked straight at the man whose weight was against her with her dark eyes.He was very good-looking, with refined facial features. There was a tenderness in his gloomy eyes, which were like a still, bottomless lake, and his gaze penetrated her heart.Her eyes trailed down to his Adam’s apple; he hadn’t spoken for a while, and she was also silent.It was normal for a man to love a woman.Zoey was usually timid, embarrassed, and uneasy when she had to face him. However, she didn’t know where she got the bold impulse today to raise her head and kiss him.Laurence was briefly stunned before he reciprocated, his hand absentmindedly holding the base of her head as he brought his knees to her waist, trapping her in the cramped space.His kiss was domineering, and

“I’ve booked flight tickets for tomorrow morning.” Laurence said, breaking the silence.He had long deviated from his initial plan to stay in Southgrove for only two days, partly because the snowstorm forced him to stay longer.Zoey stared out the window at the white scenery. Water trickled down the gutter as snow on the rooftop slowly melted, and the sunlight wasn’t as glaring due to the winter weather. She hummed in acknowledgment.She knew he’d have to leave eventually.She’d spent last year alone at Southgrove, and thinking back, it hadn’t been too bad.The sound from the show currently airing on TV provided some background noise as Zoey was lost in thought.“My mother wants to see you,” Laurence stated straightforwardly.“Oh.”Mrs. Scott had been contacting her over the past few days and even transferred quite a large sum of money to her over the New Year, saying it was pocket money. “I’ll cooperate,” Zoey answered after taking some time to think of a suitable response

Zoey was stunned, but she wouldn’t meekly resign herself to the situation all the time.Why did it matter to Laurence if she was happy or sad?“I can’t even be sad?” She asked in a puzzled tone. Her voice was neither soft nor loud.Laurence was silent as he stared at her confused eyes, the black orbs that made one want to love her tenderly. He was also aware that his earlier statement made him sound like a dictator.Pursing his lips, he replied, “It’s not a nice sight.”“I can’t control it.” Zoey turned her face away.“Don’t look at me if you don’t like it then,” she thought sullenly.Laurence didn’t say anything else, not wanting to trigger another unhappy fight with her a day before they had to fly.After all, they had been getting along quite harmoniously the past few days.…One tended to be sleepier when it came to morning flights.Zoey requested a pillow from the air stewardess and immediately fell asleep once she laid her head on it. The spacious first-class seat was

“I can’t be bothered to be concerned for you any longer,” Mrs. Scott said, pushing Laurence away.Zoey felt discomfort in her heart upon seeing how upset Mrs. Scott was. “Don’t be so upset, Mrs. Scott; it’s bad for your health,” she said as she poured a glass of water for her mother-in-law.However, Mrs. Scott was still incensed by the asshole behavior her son had shown—she had no influence over him despite being his mother.“Forget it.” She sighed. “I won’t bring it up in the future since you both don’t like to hear it.”…In a bedroom upstairs.After changing his clothes, Laurence turned to see Zoey working on something on the computer.He didn’t care enough to ask, and after a brief silence, he said to her, “Don’t take what my mom said earlier to heart.”Zoey’s fingers tensed. “You’re right. It’s meaningless to keep bringing it up when it has long passed.”Time would bury all the love, the hate, and the agony from that incident.Laurence grunted in response. Judging from h

Love in the dark Chapter 757 Got Everything Figured Out
Ryan had a reason for barging into the room. He thought he had seen something he shouldn't have.He had witnessed Zoey's relationship with his brother over the past few years. He hadn't thought so many things would happen between them when they got married.In the end, Laurence fell for her.The high and mighty guy had willingly become the loser for that woman.Zoey could tell from Ryan's reaction that he had misunderstood. Without bothering to explain, she walked straight out of the office.Laurence ignored Ryan, too. He treated Ryan as if he didn't exist and strode out the door after Zoey. Ryan was left alone in the office, dumbfounded.Laurence's assistant greeted him politely. "Are you here for ..."Ryan was still in a daze. He snapped to his senses and said, "I'm here to see my brother!""Mr. Scott just left.""I saw that.""Then, is there anything else I can do for you?"Ryan turned around to leave but returned halfway. He put his arm around the assistant's shoulder as
Love in the dark Chapter 756 Came at the Wrong Time
Zoey could feel the gazes on her as she stepped into the office. There were hardly any familiar faces left in the office.She secretly sighed in relief. She would have felt awkward and at a loss if she had to face the inquisitive gazes of acquaintances.Laurence held Zoey's hand, and she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. She couldn't resist him.They entered Laurence's office. His office looked cold and plain, just like he was.Zoey noticed he was still grabbing her wrist. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should I sit?"Perhaps surprised by her sudden cooperative attitude, Laurence raised an eyebrow. After a pause, he kindly reminded her, "The door is locked."Without a key, the door couldn't be opened from the inside.Zoey tried to pull her wrist away. "Got it."Laurence watched her sit on the sofa, and he relaxed slightly. He asked politely, "Would you like something to drink?"Zoey was momentarily lost in thought. She replied, "Warm water will do"Laur
Love in the dark Chapter 755 Opening Up
Zoey was composed. She didn't seem worried about Laurence investigating her past in Novarvia. But deep down, she wasn't confident.Laurence had long lost any moral boundaries. Despite knowing she was married, he showed no concern about interfering in her marriage. He would likely become even more audacious and unrestrained if he discovered that her marriage was fake.Just the thought of it gave Zoey a headache. She never thought getting rid of someone would be so difficult, even if they held a certain position of power. Shaking him off became increasingly challenging.Lost in her contemplation, Zoey failed to notice the driver had changed direction. When she finally realized, the car was parked at the entrance of the Scott Group.Zoey pondered briefly. She thought the driver was sending Laurence off. She waited patiently and remained seated in the car.The man beside her calmly looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you getting out?"Zoey furrowed her brows. "Why should I?"
Love in the dark Chapter 754 Don't Let Me Find Out
Sarah always seemed like she was thriving. Looking radiant, she hooked arms with the man beside her. She no longer looked as worn as she had a few months ago.Laurence was acquainted with the man beside her. His gaze was indifferent, showing neither surprise nor much emotion. Firmly grabbing Zoey's hands, Laurence wouldn't let her leave his side.Laurence had no intention of greeting Sarah or engaging with William. He held Zoey's hand, seemingly aware she didn't want to deal with them either. He turned his face to her and said, "Let's go."Zoey didn't refuse. They left quietly.This time, Sarah didn't stop Zoey. She usually tried provoking her.Once they were far away, Zoey immediately shook off Laurence's hand. He saw her furrowed brows and the undisguised disgust in her eyes. She must have hated Sarah a lot. She didn't even want to see her.Laurence explained, "I didn't know she would be here today."Zoey ignored him and walked ahead. The man behind her suddenly circled he
Love in the dark Chapter 753 A Chance Encounter
Zoey had no idea whether she was acting out of spite or being stubborn, but she arrived at the restaurant as promised. The restaurant had a private courtyard that offered great privacy. She didn't want to cause the person she was meeting any trouble. Neil's wife was once Zoey's client. Both parties were pleased with the business transaction. Zoey didn't like socializing, but she was out of alternatives. She forced herself to befriend Neil's wife. She had something to ask of Neil because her passport application had been dragging on without any progress. Zoey didn't want to lose control of her emotions again. She could still keep her cool if she stayed away from Laurence. To her surprise, Laurence had found out what she had been secretly up to. It was like he had installed a bug on her. She was horrified. "I've heard a lot of good things about you, Ms. Jenner." "You're too kind, Mr. Jackson." Neil was nicer than she expected. He didn't act superior or avoid the topic. Inst
Love in the dark Chapter 752 Hint
Zoey ended the phone call. Without having to ask, Zoey knew what was going on when she saw Laurence. Needless to say, Laurence had taken the liberty to take the morning off for her. She couldn't be bothered to be angry. Instead, she felt numb as it had happened too many times before. Zoey looked down at her changed pajamas and turned to the man by the bed. She asked, "Where are my clothes?" Laurence met her gaze. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. "They were in the wash. They are in the dryer now." Zoey lifted the bed covers and stepped onto the carpet. She made a beeline for the walk-in closet, which was filled with many clothes she hadn't taken with her when she'd left years ago. She picked an outfit and put it on. Laurence was still in the bedroom when she walked out of the walk-in closet. He put on his tie and looked over at her. She glanced at him and said, "You should've woken me up last night." Laurence approached her. He was tall and looked sharp in his suit, with
Love in the dark Chapter 751 Morals
Zoey was fast asleep. She thought she was dreaming when someone lifted her up. Her body clock over the last few days had been regular. She was going to bed early. Now, she couldn't keep her eyes open. Maybe she went back to sleep because she didn't sense any danger.Laurence hooked his arm behind Zoey's knees in a cradle and pulled her arm over his neck to secure her from falling. She mumbled in her sleep. He guessed that she was dreaming.Laurence couldn't hear what she was saying. He leaned in with his ear near her lips, but her mumbling stopped.The chauffeur, dedicated to his job, was on standby outside. Seeing his employer in the distance, he opened the door respectfully.Laurence carried Zoey into the car. The chauffeur closed the car door and glanced again at the woman in his employer's arms from the rear-view mirror. She looked familiar, but he didn't want to make any assumptions. "Where to, sir?" The chauffeur couldn't read his employer's mind, so he was careful not to
Love in the dark Chapter 750 Possessive
The bar wasn't too far from the restaurant. It was less than a ten-minute drive away. Laurence refused to let go of Zoey's wrist. He was bold to show off their closeness even though it was inappropriate. The others could hardly take their eyes off the couple. It was drama in the flesh. If they remembered correctly, Zoey had denied their relationship online two days before. She had even announced her marriage to someone else to set the record straight. What was going on? They had a hunch about the situation, judging by the resistance on Zoey's face. Maybe her ex-husband wouldn't leave her alone. The man seemed relentless in his pursuit. Nevertheless, it was not their business to get involved. At the end of the day, it was between Zoey and Laurence. Everybody quieted down and sobered up. The group caught a cab to the destination. Laurence shamelessly invited himself to join the group, and no one objected, not even politely. They weren't fools. They wouldn't offend the man for
Love in the dark Chapter 749 Your Husband Isn't Home
Zoey felt a tingling sensation along her ear. It felt as if she had been electrocuted. Laurence's tone was half-joking, but there was seriousness behind it. He was ready to tell on her to her husband the moment she nodded. Zoey had lost her patience with him a long time ago. She couldn't help but snap back every time. She looked up. Her face was small. She was about to tell him to get lost when the man took the chance to deepen the kiss. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to part her lips to let him in. Zoey was pinned against the wall. His scorching breath took hers away. She was trapped like prey in a snare. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.Laurence didn't stop with a brief kiss. He didn't give Zoey room to breathe, and she could feel her limbs going weak. Her tongue was going numb. The woman opened her mouth, gasping for air. She hung onto his collar to stop herself from going limp. The man was always greedy. He could never get enough of her. Zoey had
