Love in the dark Chapter 279 A Performance
The two held each other's hands quite tightly, but they wore their emotions clearly on their faces.Janet thought maybe she was reading too much into it. After all, arguments among couples were an everyday occurrence.She contemplated voicing her concern but stopped herself. This was a matter between them. Even if Janet was her mother, she had no right to meddle in their private businesses.Eventually, the doctor came in to inform them that Janet needed to rest, so they left the room.On the way out, Mrs. Scott, who held Zoey's hand, realized it was mostly skin and bones. She turned to glare at her son, "What have you done?!""Me?""Zoey has lost so much weight recently. How often have I told you that if work is too stressful, you shouldn't make her do it." Mrs. Scott understood that young women these days did not like to play housewife at home and preferred to be independent.It was not as if Mrs. Scott was against Zoey's decision to work; it was just that she felt like Zoey wa
Love in the dark Chapter 280 Jealous
Zoey was silent for a while before she confessed quietly, "Actually, I'm terrified of him too."Sissy smiled. "And here I was thinking you weren't afraid of him."Zoey didn't want to keep talking about Laurence, so she changed the topic deliberately. "Sissy, are you about to give birth soon?"Sissy lowered her head. "Yes! The expected birth date is in around half a month. I want another daughter. I'm hoping she will be a girl!" she said as she tenderly rubbed her belly.Daughters were careful and understanding, much better than sons, who would always get into trouble.Zoey helped her take a seat, considering what she would get for Sissy's unborn child.Sissy had just taken a seat before she asked Zoey curiously, "Are you and Laurence planning on having children?"Sissy could tell that Laurence did not like children, probably because they were noisy and rowdy.Zoey's eyelashes fluttered. "No, we're not. We've been too busy with work these days."Sissy was envious. She got marri
Love in the dark Chapter 281 Sleep on the Couch
Ryan's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was in trouble. He shouldn't have run his mouth. He tried to move on from the topic with a laugh and gestured like he was slitting his throat."How could I do such an immoral thing? I'm afraid your wife will chop my head off," he said. Laurence looked past Ryan dismissively and rested his gaze on the woman behind him. "Really? Zoey, do you mind?" he asked. Zoey had just peeled an apple and took a bite of it. She feigned ignorance and questioned, "What were you guys talking about?" Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that the situation wouldn't get awkward. However, he still found that Laurence was acting strange because he wouldn't have given a damn if Ryan brought up such nonsense previously. As Ryan opened his mouth to speak, Laurence interjected with a low voice, his dark gaze trained on Zoey. "Ryan asked me if I cheated on you." Ryan was struck speechless.Laurence suddenly smiled and addressed Zoey intimately like he did be
Love in the dark Chapter 282 Tired
To Zoey, the look in Laurence’s eyes seemed to say, "I don't even mind yet, so why are you acting up first?" Laurence snorted and said dryly, "There's no need." She pretended not to hear him and carried a pillow to the couch. He glanced at the time and said impatiently, "Get in bed." She stayed motionless. Laurence didn't have much patience with her and grabbed her arm, picking her up horizontally. He tossed her onto the bed roughly, the hem of her dress riding up to her thighs. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she blushed. He hugged her waist tightly and warned into her ear, "Don't play this game with me."Zoey couldn't beat his strength, and her breathing quickened. It wasn't that she couldn't bear sharing a bed with him, but she worried he would act up again in the middle of the night. She couldn't deal with his impulsive bursts. "I'm tired, Mr. Scott."Laurence stared at her red lips and said nothing. He switched off the lights and slipped his finger into he
Love in the dark Chapter 283 Support
Zoey felt her head spin slightly from being tugged back down onto the bed so roughly. Her whole body felt weak, as if all her energy had been sapped from her the night before. "I've had enough sleep and I want to get up now," she insisted, implying that she wouldn't stop him from sleeping, but she didn't want him to disturb her. Laurence glanced at the time and found that it was late. However, Zoey didn't have any urgent business, so why was she in such a hurry? He put his arm around her waist dominantly and said in a voice that sounded thick but sexy from sleep, "You'd better rest longer, or my mother is going to come at me if you get any thinner."Zoey had no desire to stay in bed with Laurence, so she pushed his arm aside. She sat up slowly, fighting against the soreness, and folded the blanket clumsily. She walked to the wardrobe to grab some clothes and went into the bathroom to change. A few minutes later, she checked herself in the mirror. Laurence also sat up and leaned
Love in the dark Chapter 284 Confusing
Matthew had worked for Laurence for many years, but he had rarely seen such a dark expression on the CEO’s face. He felt as if the temperature in the room had fallen a few degrees. He didn't know who Laurence was talking to on the phone, but they could ruin his mood so drastically in minutes.Laurence was so furious that his chest ached like a fire burned in it. However, he had started it. He gripped his phone so hard that his knuckles turned white. He let out a cold laugh and smirked, suppressing his rage and saying nonchalantly into the phone, "You really impress me. I must say, you have my respect."Zoey said, "I must find a way to continue living my life, mustn't I?" She felt exhausted and no longer wanted to bother with him. She hung up and put her phone face-down on the table. Arielle couldn't stop herself from slapping the table and bellowing, "How could he be so rude? Why are his words so venomous? He's so ruthless that I really can't stand him!" Zoey comforted Arielle as i
Love in the dark Chapter 285 In Too Deep
Based on Laurence’s character, on the day he had kicked down the door of the hotel room, he and Zoey should’ve met at the Bureau of Civil Affairs the next day to sign their divorce papers. It was bound to happen sooner or later. "He absolutely loathes me. And yet, he refuses to divorce me," Zoey mused.She said it in such a light-hearted way that it felt like she was talking about someone else’s relationship, and not her own. She seldom confided in anyone, as she was used to bottling everything up in her heart, but tonight was different. "He always treats me like shit and has that look of disgust on his face when he looks at me. So why does he refuse to let me go?" Zoey lamented."Well, it could be that he’s the one who’s unwilling to let you go too, you know. Perhaps it could be that he doesn’t want it to end just like that?" Arielle said cautiously. Her bestie Zoey was just too beautiful, gentle, and lovely. It’d be the loss of so many people if they didn’t fall for her. And
Love in the dark Chapter 286 Who Paid More?
Zoey wasn’t going to acknowledge the fake words coming from Rick’s mouth. He noticed her cold expression and sneered, “Don’t you believe me?” She didn't want to continue this argument. Expressionless, she reminded him, "Rick Preston, it probably isn't good for the Preston family to find out we go way back.” His mother died in truly questionable circumstances. He probably didn't want his misdeeds revealed. Rick smiled. "Indeed, it's not. But the Preston family only have me now." That was why even though they looked down on him as an illegitimate son, they still brought him back home from abroad. Zoey retorted, "Are you sure your father has no other illegitimate children out there?" The way she spoke with a tense, serious expression was reminiscent of Laurence. Not only in the indifferent gaze they shared, but even their aura was similar. She smiled again and continued, “Mind your own business when you have your own problems to solve.” Rick was rendered speechless. Masking
