Love in the dark Chapter 230
Laurence’s words weren’t considered harsh. That was just how he was. His words were even more unkind once he was actually displeased. Although Zoey was already used to this treatment, she still felt uncomfortable hearing that, but she ignored it, not wanting to argue with him.Laurence’s cold smile disappeared, and he returned to his usual impassive expression. He pressed his lips together and stared at her. “There’s always a reason for everything,” he said softly.Zoey had already thought of her resignation speech before she knocked on the door. Her wish to move out wasn’t an impulsive decision. Their relationship had been worsening over the last month, and all those ugly feelings that she shouldn’t be having had the time to fester. She didn’t want to be so stuck in her love for him until she lost her own sense of self-respect. She didn’t want to end up in pain and cling to him even when she left. She had to slowly uproot him from her heart. No longer could she continue to stay in
Love in the dark Chapter 231
Laurence was certainly determined to make Zoey suffer. In just half a day, Zoey was both physically and mentally exhausted. She wasn’t pleased with any of the properties that the agent had introduced to her. Even though she had dramatically increased her budget, she still hadn’t found one that she liked.Zoey wondered if she had been insulated from society for so long that she had lost touch with the market—she was just looking for a one-bedroom apartment, but all of them so far would eat up close to half of her monthly salary. It wasn’t like Zoey couldn’t part with the money either. She just thought it was excessively expensive.When she returned home at night, Zoey peeled off her high heels. She was so tired that she wanted nothing more than to lie on the couch and rest, but then Laurence came out of his study to see her staring at her phone. “Have you found a place yet?” he asked, feigning concern.There was no way Zoey was going to admit that things weren’t going smoothly, so
Love in the dark Chapter 232
Zoey didn’t know how to respond, so she made up a ridiculous excuse. That way, Laurence would mistakenly think that she had feelings for Tristan. In truth, she and Tristan had barely exchanged any words. His friends were also less than friendly whenever they met, all of them looking down on Zoey because they thought of her as a gold digger who would do anything for money.Laurence was quiet. After a long while, he finally looked at her. His voice was cold and flat as he spoke, “Do you like Tristan?” There was a slight pause in between his words, but he enunciated everything clearly.There was no way for Zoey to back down. From the day she announced that she wanted to make a business deal with him, there was no more turning back. So, why not play into the misunderstanding? It wasn’t like it would affect things much.Laurence wouldn’t care who she crushed on. Zoey thought for a moment. “A little, I guess,” she said, sounding a little too fake.Laurence seemed to only be mildly curious a
Love in the dark Chapter 233 Promise
Zoey felt as if a storm was heading her way. She could only grip the person in front of her to the point her knuckles went white. At the same time, she forced herself not to make any noise.When Laurence noticed how her bottom lip had gone white because she was biting it, he bit her earlobe, commanding softly, “Moan for me.”However, Zoey remained biting down on her lip stubbornly and did her best not to let out any sounds no matter what. Laurence seemed to have let out a soft chuckle before he started using more force in his actions.He was venting, but at the same time, he didn’t seem to be doing that.Zoey wasn’t used to the increased force. She gripped the bedsheets beneath her and bit Laurence when she couldn’t withstand the intensified pleasure.It was as though Laurence wasn’t afraid of pain. Even after blood seeped out of the bite mark left by Zoey on his shoulder, he felt it was nothing but a sting.When the woman woke up the next day, she regretted having bitten Laurenc
Love in the dark Chapter 234 Her Benefactor
Sarah reminded Laurence over and over that he had once loved her, as that was the only weapon she had against him.She knew it wasn’t easy for Laurence to feel for a woman. Emotionless people were scarier than Casanovas once they developed feelings for someone. It wasn’t her first time regretting her actions of putting Laurence’s love for her and his willingness to do anything for her in a deadly bet. Sarah did end up losing the bet, after all.Two measly years could change many things.Sarah despised Lady Fate’s treatment of her. She was the only person in the world cursed with a sickly body.She wouldn’t have to go overseas to receive treatment if it weren’t for her health. That way, Zoey would never have the chance to get close to Laurence.Laurence gave Sarah a meaningful look, but it was lost on her. He stated, “I’ve already arranged for the best doctor to care for you in the hospital. You can always return for the operation if you change your mind.”Sarah didn’t bother re
Love in the dark Chapter 235 No
Zoey had nothing else to say to Laurence besides a hum of acknowledgment.However, the latter was still unsatisfied with her response. He forcefully tilted her head upward, fixing her with an icy stare. “What do you mean by that?”Zoey perked up so that she could reply to him. “Yes, I heard what you said.”All she could think of right now was to move out of Laurence’s house as soon as possible. No matter what the man said to her face, she could accept everything nonchalantly.Zoey would let Laurence be if that was how he saw himself. After all, he wasn’t wrong.The duo decided to drop the topic, albeit reluctantly. Laurence then glanced at Zoey’s suitcases. “Is this everything you’re taking with you?”Zoey explained, “I can always buy the necessities at the supermarket.”She could slowly buy the electrical appliances and furniture for her apartment. She wasn’t in a rush.Laurence helped in loading the suitcases into the trunk of the car. After getting into the driver’s seat, he
Love in the dark Chapter 236 Please Me
The simple yet cozy house had floor heating installed, which made the house feel warm.Zoey took out the noodles that Bella had bought yesterday from the fridge. She waited for the water to boil in the pot and slowly added the pasta.She turned to look at the man who was busy tidying up the household supplies in the living room. “Mr. Scott, how much would you like to eat?”Though Laurence’s fingers looked frail, he was able to tear open the packaging easily. Without even raising his head, he answered, “Just one bowl is enough.”Zoey was worried that Laurence would still be hungry after. After all, a man’s appetite was usually much more than a woman’s.Since he had exerted so much energy, he would need to eat more to replenish his energy.She hummed affirmatively and put a lid on the pot.Laurence knelt on one knee and arranged the household supplies, of which he had removed the packaging, neatly to the side. It was also quite warm in the house, so he had haphazardly rolled up hi
Love in the dark Chapter 237 Kiss Me
Zoey wasn’t very good at making people feel good.She had always been somewhat clumsy and slow in this regard.The way Laurence looked at her made her feel ashamed of herself, and the heat radiating from her face refused to go away.As she slowly dragged her feet toward him, she pursed her lips. “I don’t know how,” she muttered truthfully. Laurence looked at her stiff expression and then asked, “You still haven’t learned anything after all this time?”That caused her to look down and avert his gaze. After a short pause, she broke the silence and said, “No one’s ever taught me.”He didn’t like how she put herself down every time she spoke, so he lifted a thumb and used it to hold her chin gently. “Haven’t I taught you many times before?” he probed.She immediately froze up at his reply, and it took her a while to understand what he meant.He loved staring at her eyes, which were crystal clear and devoid of impurities. Her pupils were dark yet transparent. Every time she looked
