Love in the dark Chapter 161
Ryan had no clue why Laurence was suddenly angry.He also didn’t know what he’d said wrong and thought his cousin was upset because Zoey had left the table before the meal had ended.He thought they had a good relationship, just like he did with Sissy; he would also be unhappy if his wife were sulking.“Did you and Zoey fight, Laurence?”“What makes you think I’d do something so childish?” Laurence didn’t like to argue as he felt it was meaningless, and he wasn’t one to allow his anger to affect his actions. He was usually able to calm down very quickly and resolve issues rationally.Ryan certainly knew of his cousin’s swift and stern measures regarding work matters, but dealing with a subordinate wasn’t the same as dealing with one’s wife; one didn’t need to be so serious.“Because I’d sulk just like you are right now whenever I fight with Sissy.”“I am not sulking,” Laurence calmly stated, pursing his lips.Ryan waved his hand. Look, you’re making the same expression as I am.

“Thank you.” Zoey gently pushed Laurence away after she regained her footing.…She locked herself in the bedroom the entire afternoon.Her drafts were completed; all that was left was to select the materials and hand them to the contractors, but she couldn’t stop herself. After all, keeping busy was the best form of mental distraction.It wasn’t until her phone rang in the evening that she snapped out of focus.“You better leave the house soon, I’ve already booked us a private room,” Arielle urged her over the phone.“You’ll have to wait for me a bit.” She felt a change of scenery would be good.“Yeah, yeah, yeah!”Zoey quickly hailed a cab to Nightbloom, where a sexily dressed Arielle dragged her to a private room on the top floor by her arm.It suddenly occurred to her that Nightbloom was possibly one of the many businesses owned by Scott Group. It was an exclusive nightclub that not anyone could just enter.She was afraid of running into Laurence’s friends here.“Do you want to go
Love in the dark Chapter 163
Laurence’s words may sound generous, but to Zoey, they were harsh.However, when she thought about it, he had long stopped having a good impression of her. He always thought she was the type to gallivant around and had multiple boyfriends.She let the matter go and considered it as being able to save money since someone else had already paid the bill.“Then, I would like to trouble you to pass a message to him saying I’m grateful for his generosity,” she said to the manager.The seasoned manager could feel his heart thump loudly in his chest. He was a perceptive man. Although Mr. Scott didn’t appear happy or angry at all, he had a chilly air about him and was sneering; it didn’t seem like he was in a good mood at all.Miss Jenner’s words would be like adding oil to a fire. “Alright,” the manager replied, bracing himself.He swiftly went to the room next door, where Laurence sat on the couch in the deepest part of the room. His facial features, hidden by the darkness of the room, appea

Zoey felt wronged. How many times had this happened? Sometimes, she couldn’t stand Laurence’s unreasonable possessiveness, as if he had ownership of her and she couldn’t be close with any other man. In his eyes, she couldn’t be trusted and always attracted unwanted attention. Laurence’s grip on her cheek was quite hard. His sudden burst of anger was quite out of character for him as he rarely lost his temper. However, Laurence might not be interested in her explanation. “Mr. Scott, you can have your array of women,” Zoey lowered her eyes and whispered.She was just being fair. They had an agreement not to interfere in each other’s private lives as long as they did not cross a line. His raging anger did make people suspect that he was jealous. He had his fair share of women around. Many women had courted him, and he had played along with them. He did not have the right to implement his double standards on her. Zoey would not overreach her boundaries and think that he was jealous.

Zoey clenched her hands into a fist and gritted her teeth so hard she bit her lip.The manager started to sweat profusely and hesitated as he was confused about the situation. Shawn, who had been watching the scene unfold, chuckled lightly and said, “There’s no one else here. I believe Miss Jenner won’t refuse even if the manager offers himself up.” Zoey glared at him, shooting daggers with her eyes, obviously angered by his insults. The manager quickly did as he was told when he realized he was about to get dragged into the mess. Shawn asked slyly, “What are you glaring at me for, Miss Jenner?” He shrugged, and there was a mischievous glint in his eyes as he continued, “You were the one that got caught with your hand in the cookie jar. Besides, you would be fine with anyone, right? You would take on anyone interested.” She was nothing but a pretentious slut who played innocent. Zoey trembled in anger. It was obvious she was furious at his remarks. She gradually calmed down and g

One can always witness wild and drunken circumstances in this electrifying and vibrant club.Although Zoey did not understand why Laurence was acting this way, she didn’t have the strength to deal with him. He can do whatever he wants. Zoey did not notice his expression as she clenched her fist and said, “Yes. I want a handsome one.”Zoey was also very superficial. Besides, humans were sensory beings, always more interested in those who were physically attractive.Laurence did not get mad but scoffed instead. His eyes were cold, and his face frigid. As he stared at her calm and soft demeanor, the anger in his heart boiled further.Shawn clicked his tongue and smiled mockingly. Sure enough, she was a slut. Now she had to drop her act.Laurence did not speak for some time and Zoey remained silent as well. Shawn, on the other hand, still behaved with malevolence. He pointed at a random guy and ordered, “You, come.”Zoey did not bat an eye as she couldn’t care less. Laurence made no attemp

She always woke up in cold sweat in the middle of the night. There was no one else in the empty bedroom except her.After that night, Laurence never returned to the villa, and she kept her promise not to ask about his whereabouts or what he did outside. These days, they would only meet at the company, and he would act as if nothing had happened. He neither made things difficult nor treated her as special at work. Their relationship returned to before, strictly professional. Any flirting between them and hope that he had some feelings for her disappeared.Zoey quickly adjusted to this new status quo and resumed her responsibilities at work. She thought it would be best if they could maintain this distance during the contract period. However, her wish was quickly shattered.After half a month, Laurence returned to the villa. He only wanted to appease his anger, so he did not beat around the bush. Zoey was forced into bed by him. Her wrists were held against the bed, bound by his belt. Sh

Zoey was stunned and astonished by his words. Laurence noticed she was dumbfounded. He traced his fingers against her soft skin and pursed his lips.“What’s wrong?” he asked in a raspy voice.Zoey pinched herself, and it hurt a little. She came to her senses, her eyelashes fluttering, her dark eyes pierced through the man before her, and tears pricked the corner of her eyes. Suddenly she felt as if she was in a dream—her young and unfulfilled dream as a teenager. She held no expectations when she asked the question. She even regretted overreaching her boundaries the moment she spoke.Zoey felt a lump in her throat. She carefully asked, “Did you hear what I asked?”Laurence pressed harder on her cheeks and gazed down at her face. It was evident that she was nervous. Her lips were pursed lips and her body was tense. The soft lighting shone on her wary face, making her seem very vulnerable and fragile.He answered calmly, “Loud and clear.”Laurence grasped her hand, which she clenched t
