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

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

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

Sarah stared at Zoey for a while, surprised at her answer. In her eyes, Zoey had always been a pushover.“Ms. Jenner, you’re just a secretary. Yet, you’re acting like a big shot now, huh?” Sarah said. Everyone in the office fell silent and tried to act like they didn’t hear anything. They knew who Sarah was, even though she had only been to the company twice. There were many rumors about her being Laurence’s first love and ex-girlfriend. They knew that she was highly regarded by him.And now, she was implicating that Zoey’s relationship with Laurence was more than secretary and boss.Zoey was still calm nonetheless.“If you want to have tea, you can make it yourself, Ms. Jenner.”Sarah huffed indignantly and tilted her head up haughtily.“I want you to make it for me. Who are you to refuse me?”Zoey didn’t expect Sarah to go this far when everyone was looking. She didn’t want to make a scene, but she didn’t want to get bullied by Sarah either.“If you’re unsatisfied with my work, you c

Zoey’s clothes weren’t completely dry yet as she met Laurence’s gaze calmly without a word. Everyone couldn’t stop themselves from looking at her, and the atmosphere in the office seemed to have turned to ice. She followed Laurence into the CEO’s office. Subtly, he locked the door and turned around, fixing her with a sharp gaze but remaining silent. Zoey met his solemn gaze and spoke up first. “I threw water at her.” There was nothing to deny or to be afraid of. The wrath she had expected him to hurl at her did not come, and there wasn’t much expression on his face. He tapped his finger against the surface of his desk and said, “How did she provoke you? Tell me, I’m listening.” He spoke so calmly that he seemed merely to be dealing with a trivial work matter. Zoey went blank for a few seconds before collecting herself and saying calmly, “It was because she threw water at me first and said it was an accident. So I did it by accident too.” She looked up slowly and gazed at him steadi

Zoey hesitated for a moment and said what was on her mind without any hidden intentions. “Maybe Miss Sarah has the wrong idea that you have some feelings for me now, so she doesn’t like me.” Although Sarah had always caused trouble for her, she had never done it so boldly. She was quite a proud person and cared about Laurence’s impression of her, so it wasn’t like her to let him see her dirty tricks because she wanted to protect her kind image in front of him. Zoey said politely, “How about you explain it to her, Mr. Scott? I think it would make things better for her and me.” Otherwise, it would be like in the past, when his woman would show up at the office every two days to cause trouble for her. It made her life difficult. Laurence raised his brows and shot her a side-eye. “Explain what?”Zoey repeated patiently, “That you don’t have any feelings for me.”“There’s nothing to explain.”Zoey thought he was just lazy to explain and not because there were other reasons. She said mi

Zoey’s hands trembled slightly, and she subconsciously held her breath, suppressing the overwhelming emotions in her heart. “I’ll be there right away.” Laurence had also heard what the doctor said and looked at Zoey, who was looking absolutely drained. “I’ll take you to the hospital,” he said softly. Zoey didn’t waste another second on him and rushed out of the office with her phone clasped tightly in her hand. Laurence grabbed her arm and consoled her gently, “Don’t be too anxious. Go and pack your things first.” Her thoughts were whirling, and she only calmed down slowly when she felt his grip on her wrist. She returned to her office desk, packed her handbag, and hurriedly offered her colleague an explanation. “Anne, I’m leaving to take care of some business. Call me if anything urgent comes up.”Anne was used to situations like this and nodded quickly. “Okay, don’t worry. Go and take care of your business first.” Anne admired Zoey. She was probably the only person in the company

“You can just claim that I’m your husband,” Laurence spat the words out coldly, his expression darkening.Zoey was momentarily taken aback when she suspected he was being facetious. Then, she lowered her head hastily. “That’s a bad idea.”Eventually, she would have to part ways permanently with him. Once Janet had asked Zoey about her relationship status, she couldn’t just tell her that she was divorced.After all, Zoey had gotten married and divorced without knowing what exactly happened.Laurence’s impassive gaze was trained on Zoey’s face before he studied her expression seriously for a moment. “How is that a bad idea?”Zoey decided to go with an explanation that was easier on the ears. “It will become very problematic later.”Laurence was smart, so she knew he understood what she was saying.Zoey did not fear Laurence’s anger; she feared he might say something incriminating in front of Janet. She was hesitant to let her mother know that she had sold her marriage for financia

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
