Love in the dark Chapter 293 A Full Stop
Laurence pulled Zoey into a hug on his lap, their breaths hot on each other. She avoided his gaze, looking down while maintaining a calm expression. As her fingers clenched into a fist, she said indifferently in a faint voice, “I have never tormented you.”Zoey felt wronged, as she lacked the power to torment him. Their marriage was only on paper and also represented a disparity in status. She was always the passive one. She had to do whatever Laurence wanted her to do. Laurence gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. While distracted, he replied, “Probably not.”Was it really like that? There were times when winners actually lost completely.Laurence wasn’t sure when he'd started to care about her. He would observe her every move, curious about her life. He wanted to know who she talked to and who she met. He'd gotten used to the days when she was by his side. He was used to his life with her, her smell, and being able to hug her from behind every night to sleep well. He hadn

A full stop represented the end of a sentence.When everything ended, there was really nothing left.Zoey knew she was a very stubborn person, even to the point of being annoying.While others may not turn back until they hit a wall, she wouldn't turn back even after hitting the wall.She had to reach the point where she was in so much pain that it became unbearable before she gave up.Zoey thought sometimes being too stubborn wasn't a good thing. She didn't want to continue the topic and instead shoved her phone into Laurence's hand. "Turn off the tracking device."Laurence didn't respond; his complexion was pale and his mind was elsewhere.He seemed to still be pondering what she'd just said.She said she really didn't love him anymore.The impact of her words caught Laurence off guard, and his chest ached as if a stone had been dropped on his softest spot.The pain came in waves.It had been quite some time since he'd felt so much pain. His breathing became shallow, and h
Last Updated : 2023-05-08Love in the dark Chapter 295 Filing for Divorce
Zoey didn't notice that his face was as pale as a sheet. She was in a hurry to break herself free, so even though she spoke slowly, her words sounded very harsh."I'm filthy. You said you're a clean freak, so don't touch me anymore." Zoey could be stubborn when she loved somebody, but she could also be serious when it was time to give up. She didn't mind using his words to persuade him to do that. She looked up. "I'm a whore, Laurence. Don't degrade yourself."Laurence felt his chest tighten as a searing pain started to spread through his heart. He had the sensation that he was falling into an abyss, and when he finally landed, a sharp knife had even pierced his heart.He opened his mouth, feeling as if the air had been squeezed out of his lungs. His throat was burning in pain. He couldn't bear to hear her say those words. She didn't need to hurt herself like that just to get away from him.Laurence's face was ashen, and his eyes were cold. He'd always had a glib tongue, but he was

Zoey went to the law firm Anne's friend was working at.The initial consultation fee wasn't too high. It was still within the range she could afford.Zoey's appointment with the lawyer was at 10 am, and they'd agreed to meet at the cafe downstairs from the office.She ordered two cups of coffee, and the lawyer arrived on time.It was a very young lawyer."Are you Miss Jenner?""Yes."After he sat down, Zoey pursed her lips, then she told him directly, "The situation is like this: I want to divorce my husband, but he's not willing. What I want to know now is, how long would the legal process be if we were to go to trial?"The lawyer already had a rough idea of her request before meeting her. Filing for divorce wasn't exactly hard. "Miss Jenner, let me put it this way. As long as you want to get a divorce, there's no way it won't happen."She just might need to spend more time and effort.The majority of the divorce cases he handled were to fight for property or child custody.
Last Updated : 2023-05-08Love in the dark Chapter 297 She Thought He Was Going to Hit Her
Zoey went to a private hospital nearby. After she registered herself, she waited on a bench in the corridor.She stared into space as she sat there, seemingly in a trance. She didn't even play with her phone. She didn't even hear the text notification go off.When her name was called, half an hour had already passed.It was unclear if it was just in her head, but she felt her hearing start to blur again. She hadn't even heard her name clearly.Zoey raised her hand to touch her ear. She'd worn a hearing aid in the past. When she was still in school, she felt embarrassed about wearing it. She was afraid that people would find out and look down on her because of it. If this ear was having problems again, she truly had no idea what to do.There was no particularly good treatment for hearing issues.When Zoey walked into the doctor's office, she was still a little out of it. Her mind was foggy. For some reason, she thought of what had happened in the abandoned factory again.That k

Zoey instinctively wanted to stretch her hand and snatch it back, but she was pinned down by Laurence.There was indeed a bunch of professional data on the medical assessment form, so a person without proper medical knowledge wouldn't be able to understand it too well. However, the last column, which was the summary, was easier to comprehend."Moderate hearing loss. Hearing aid might be needed."Laurence looked down at these two sentences. His fingers were pinching the thin piece of paper so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His entire body was stiff.Zoey was a little annoyed. Even when she was angry, she didn't look threatening at all. Her face was completely flushed. "Give it back!" She stood up and snatched the assessment form back from him. Laurence saw her snatch the medical assessment form back angrily. He stared right at her face, then his gaze slowly moved to her ear.Zoey was pretty, and her facial features were very fine.Her ears actually looked good, and her

Zoey turned away slightly, not wanting to be touched by him.Laurence didn't ask her if she was in pain. He knew it would be very painful without asking.He truly had no idea that her ear had been injured before. Anything he said at that moment would sound like he was putting on an act. The most useless thing in this world was to feel regret after the fact.From Zoey's angle, she could only see Laurence's Adam's apple and his indifferent side profile.Laurence's expression was rather unpleasant. It was a little somber, and it seemed like he was in pain as well.However, Zoey didn't believe that Laurence was in pain. He was merciless when it came to people he didn't care about, and she wasn't someone he would care for.He was probably feeling a little bad at that moment, just because he felt a tiny bit guilty for the harm he caused her."Are you satisfied? I've gotten my retribution for cheating on you, and my ear is injured now. Laurence, you should feel happy now, right?" Zoey

Zoey took a nap on the plane. When she woke up, they still hadn't arrived at Southgrove. She took off her eye mask, and when she opened her eyes, she felt someone staring at her. Shawn hadn't rested; his dark, beautiful eyes looked slightly dazed. It looked like he'd been staring at her the entire time she'd been asleep. Zoey’s sixth sense hadn’t let her down.Zoey and Shawn had met again when she transferred to the high school he was attending. He'd only had hatred in his eyes then. Extreme hatred.It wasn't like she'd never tried to salvage that little relationship they had left, since it was better to have more friends around anyway. Since she had yet to make friends at that new school, she eagerly approached him but was met with a pair of cold eyes staring down at her. She'd felt hurt then. He'd grown taller in the second year of high school, and as he leaned lazily by the door with raised eyes, the first thing that came out of his mouth was to ask who she was. Zoey had been

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
