Love in the dark Chapter 210
Zoey’s hand was tightly secured in his palm, and she no longer struggled. She silently looked out the window for the entire ride. In fact, she rarely went to the mall with Laurence. He was always busy with work and felt it was a waste of time. Every month, luxury brands delivered customized clothing of the latest design to his doorstep. Zoey didn't go shopping much either; she didn’t have the time. Besides, it was too expensive to shop for branded items, and she couldn't support such financial expenses.Laurence was the president of a company. Although he rarely appeared in public, the mall’s manager was still able to recognize that he was a big shot, and she carefully greeted him.Laurence held on to Zoey’s thumb, firmly grabbed her hand, and took her into a boutique store. The mall’s manager followed behind Laurence and winked at the shop assistant, implying that they must pay these people extra attention. The store manager was summoned over, and she served them carefully and politel

Laurence was gentle and soft when he kissed her, but when the real action began, he became an insatiable beast, devouring her alive. Zoey hadn’t trimmed her nails lately and left a few marks on his back. He went too deep, and she had to hold back her moans by biting his shoulders.Laurence rubbed her back as if he were comforting her, but he never showed mercy, almost forcing her to tears in the end. Her were red, glistening with years. Zoey slowly drifted to sleep in his arms. Even in her dreams, she wanted to escape him and slept with her back facing him. Laurence was slightly dissatisfied and pulled her back into his arms, wrapping his arms around her waist, fully embracing her. Only then did he close his eyes happily. Later in the night, Zoey started to have a nightmare. She was sweating profusely and mumbling incoherently. She unconsciously clung to him like he was a lifesaver, crying and shouting, tears streaming down her pale face pitifully. Laurence was worried and gently woke

Zoey could only stare blankly at the table and utensils for a long time. Perhaps it was because she didn't know what to say to Laurence. Only silence remained.Laurence brought her a glass of fresh juice. It was sweet and refreshing. She felt full after half a glass, but she was still craving something, so she looked up and asked Laurence, "Do we have instant noodles at home?"She'd secretly stashed some in the utility room since he thought it was junk food. There might not be any in the old house. She wondered if the servants had kept any for emergencies. Laurence glanced at her silently.Zoey admitted, "I’m craving instant noodles."Laurence had always avoided such foods since he was a child. After some thought, he answered, "I don’t think there is any."Zoey found the loophole in his words and asked, "You don’t think?"Laurence clarified, "It means I’m uncertain."Laurence pinched her cheeks. "Because my mom would sometimes crave this unhealthy food too."Zoey was surprised. Mrs. S

His mother had never found out. Zoey was skeptical about it since she’d clearly account for every single snack hidden at home, even a bag of potato chips. "I think your mom will find out."Laurence chuckled. "She won’t."Zoey nodded and headed to the kitchen to boil some water. She had yet to fully adapt to being alone with Laurence. She couldn’t act indifferent, but she wasn’t as happy as she used to be. She'd no longer be excited over some small gestures. It was all fake. She knew that women were always more invested in relationships than men. Men had an advantage in emotions as they can easily detach themselves from a relationship and act as if nothing had happened. Only a fool like her would take things seriously.Zoey cooked the noodles and brought a bowl to the dining table. Laurence took in the tempting aroma and understood why she always craved junk food. Zoey suddenly remembered something as she ate. "How is George?"Laurence paused for a moment and said icily, "He’s dead."

Zoey also felt very distressed as Laurence would only lose his temper with her. She even suspected that sometimes Laurence just used her to vent his every frustration. Obviously, Laurence was barely a strict boss at work. In fact, he was a fair boss. However, he wasn’t as lenient with her and always imposed strict standards on her. Zoey was lost in thought. If someone unfamiliar asked, it would be better to say she was his secretary. This way, it wouldn’t tarnish his reputation or dignity. It was better that fewer people knew of their marriage.Zoey was initially very tired, but she wasn’t as sleepy ever since Laurence had said he wanted to nap with her. She couldn’t fall asleep even when she was lying on the bed. Laurence had a presence so strong that he was hard to ignore even with her back facing him. Zoey tossed and turned in bed and suddenly he grabbed her hand. He asked in a low voice, “If you can’t sleep should we do something else?”Zoey was stunned and explained, “I’m not us

She didn’t want others to gossip about her and become the center of attention. Zoey ignored him and went to the bathroom to wash her face. The warm water quickly refreshed her. She took out the dress she bought two days ago and changed into it in the dressing room. Laurence handed her a scarf. “Take this.”Zoey refused, “It looks better without it.”Laurence looked at her calmly. “Aren’t you cold?”Zoey blinked and said, “I can endure it for the sake of beauty.”Laurence did not want to ruin her mood. So, he reluctantly allowed her to dress this way. After all, he picked the dress, and it would seem petty if he said more. Zoey had naturally good skin. Therefore, she did not need much makeup. She just put on some lipstick to add some color to her face, and she was ready. Her hair was harder to manage. She rummaged through the drawers but couldn’t find her hair tie. Laurence glanced at her and asked, “What are you looking for?”Zoey frowned, “My hair tie is missing.”Lauren

Zoey only wanted to do her job well. Laurence’s change in mood seemed to have nothing to do with her either. He had always experienced mood swings. The man cleverly avoided the topic. As the saying went, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Laurence was no less competent than his father. In fact, his methods were even more meticulous and ruthless in comparison.“Please consider the City Investment project.”“Of course.”The City Investment project was clearly profitable, and many would want a piece of the pie. However, this golden opportunity was nothing to Laurence. He wasn’t as anxious as these people who wanted to make a fortune. Laurence’s calm and easygoing attitude was a big contrast to their distress. The situation now was different from two or three years ago. No one in the Scott Group could overrule Laurence’s decision. His word was law. The board of directors had almost been side-lined entirely by him. He may have a good reputation outside—he was known as someone who

Zoey initially wanted to muddle her way through. However, Laurence was extremely sharp. He wasn’t that easily fooled. She braced herself and walked forward, her ankle throbbing with pain. Laurence suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, lifting her up. Once Zoey realized what was happening, she wanted to hide in a cave. So many eyes were on them. It seemed like an overreaction for him to carry her just because she twisted her ankle. Zoey really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.People started to murmur, but Zoey managed to hear their whispers. Acting so high-profile was very unlikely of Laurence. Zoey buried her head in his chest to hide from the people around. She seriously wondered if Laurence had offended someone and was using her as a shield. To be honest, Laurence had quite a number of enemies. He had offended countless people, and there were more than enough people who wanted him dead. Zoey’s thoughts started to run wild, and she wondered if she would

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
