“He's a busy man. He might not have the time,” Zoey told a white lie. Janet glanced at her daughter, but she didn't seem to mind. “It's okay; I'm very free anyway. I can wait until he has time.” Feeling trapped, Zoey simply nodded and thought she’d devise an excuse when the time came. What nice things could Laurence possibly tell her mom? She was even more afraid that he’d give her mom a “good review” of her. She really didn't want Janet to know what a miserable marriage it was.Although Janet was much healthier now, she still wasn't as strong as before. She rested on the couch for a while and asked, “Where do you work now?” Janet’s question pulled Zoey out of her thoughts. She replied, “I've quit. I'm taking on private projects now.” Janet looked at her daughter's thin face, and her heart ached. “Have you gotten the money?”Zoey nodded and counted on her fingers. “There should be around two million dollars altogether. It should be enough to nurse you back to health, mom.”
Love in the dark Chapter 344 I Wasn't the One Who Called
It was 6 pm, and the setting sun was as round as an orange in the sky. In the light of dusk, Zoey sat by the window on the second floor of the cafe and drank a cup of coffee lazily. When the sky became completely dark, she took a taxi back to the villa in her own time. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Laurence wasn't home. Then, she changed into her house slippers and flopped onto the couch to rest for a moment.After that, she got up slowly and made a simple dinner in the kitchen. By the time she’d finished her food and washed the dishes, it was almost 8 pm. She video-called her mom and chatted for a while until Janet said she was sleepy. After hanging up, Zoey went upstairs for a bath and prepared to get a good rest. She had to keep watch on site the next day, which was hard and tiring. What she feared most was hiring a lazy team of workmen in her profession. A job that only required a day to finish could be dragged on for up to five days. Not only was it a waste of
Love in the dark Chapter 345 How Boring
Zoey couldn't actually tell if he was drunk. She zoned out even though she was forced to sit on his lap. “Oh,” she said. She’d been tricked into going there. The manager had called her repeatedly and made it sound like Laurence was completely unconscious. “Then please let go of me. I want to go home and sleep,” said Zoey, but Laurence acted as if he’d heard nothing, and his face was expressionless. She paused and added, “Can you change my alias in your contacts? Then the manager won't call me next time.” He could find anyone he wanted in situations like this, as long as it wasn't her. Laurence's alcohol tolerance wasn’t low, but it wasn’t very high either. He hadn't drunk as much as he had that night in two years. At that moment, he wasn't listening to her seriously, just staring at her red lips as his gaze grew darker. It wasn't an appropriate place, and Laurence didn't have a hobby of kissing her in public. He wasn't interested in being spectated. He suppressed his urge subtly and
Love in the dark Chapter 346 Her Resentment
It seemed like one could cut the tension with a knife, but Laurence wasn't angered by his words. He said, “Isn't that the whole point of a secret marriage?” Shawn fell silent. Laurence didn't show much emotion on his face as he lifted his glass and took a sip. “Don't tell me that you went to block her way every time you brought your pals with you after school.”Shawn’s face didn't show any reaction, but he flung the lighter he was fiddling with onto the table with a loud bang. Laurence raised an eyebrow. He’d thought Shawn could remain unaffected and continue being an emotionless madman. To think of it, Shawn had already started acting unusually in high school. For as long as he’d known Shawn, Laurence had always thought he was abnormal. He was paranoid, stubborn, and maniacal. Someone who could do anything. Back then, Shawn had shown no interest in anything. People like him didn't have to worry about their futures, much less about their studies, because things were already set for
Love in the dark Chapter 347 Humiliation
Zoey seldom hated anybody because she always believed that the world was a good place. Everybody had their own hardships, and she was always willing to put herself in other people's shoes when assessing a problem. She would forgive their actions because they probably didn't mean them, and it was probably their last resort. Hating someone took a lot of strength, and hatred could warp one's character. Even so, she really couldn't seem to control her emotions at that moment. She didn't want to be that way, either. Zoey only realized that Jessica had something more to say after she finished speaking. “What is it, Miss Myers?”Jessica looked at the man standing by the door under the shafts of light. His expression was so calm that it frightened her a little. She shook her head and said, “Nothing.” The door of the conference room shut quietly. Zoey didn't know that Laurence had come in and was standing right behind her. She glanced at her watch and said, “Miss Myers, if there's nothing el
Love in the dark Chapter 348 Butterfly Emerging From Its Cocoon
Even Rose wanted to applaud Zoey's comeback. Sarah's expression grew ugly immediately after hearing what Zoey said, and she no longer bothered to act like a saint. Zoey turned around and was about to leave, but Old Mrs. Jenner grabbed her sleeve. “Zoey, is that how you should talk to your sister?” Old Mrs. Jenner had just arrived from her hometown, and she couldn't bear to see someone acting more authoritatively than her. Especially not Zoey, who was acting like a rich princess and a bully as if the Fulton family was still in their heyday when in truth, the Fultons had gone bust ages ago! Not only did Old Mrs. Jenner hate the Fultons, but she was also very closed-minded. She was more biased toward boys. Although she didn't dote on Sarah, she hated Zoey even more! She couldn't even bear the sight of Zoey because she reminded her of Robert's miserable days as the Fultons' son-in-law. Zoey felt nothing for her grandmother. Old Mrs. Jenner had never given her any pocket money in her ch
Love in the dark Chapter 349 Turn Back Time
Laurence loosened his tie and looked at her plainly. “I'm going to take a shower first.” Zoey slowly came to her senses at his words, as if she understood why he had come home that night. It was most likely to satisfy his human needs.Zoey was a little tired that night, and she thought it wasn’t going to be easy to satisfy Laurence in bed. She sighed and opened the bedside drawer to check for condoms. She saw a few boxes left and thought it should be enough, at least to get past that night. She'd already showered once much earlier, and she thought she'd ask Laurence to go faster if she had no other choice. She had to go to the construction site the next day, and there were a few crucial materials that had to be changed. She was really very busy, much busier than when she'd worked as his secretary. Zoey felt quite happy with her current lifestyle and didn't want any disruptions.Laurence was done with his shower and had put on his pajamas and blow-dried his hair. His soft, black hai
Love in the dark Chapter 350 Let You Down
It wasn’t as if Laurence had never learned the meaning behind the word “goodnight”. It was a little childish and somewhat covert way to say I love you. There were many inexpressible affections buried within the details that went unnoticed. It was apparent to Laurence that something inside him had changed. Yet he had no words to describe the feeling. Still, something felt different. The woman in his arms had drifted away into dreamland. Perhaps she was having a beautiful dream of sunshine and rainbows. With her head resting against his arm, she fell into a deep slumber. Laurence’s mind often wandered to the subtleties during downtimes. She used to always whisper earnest goodnights to him. It sounded so sincere every time the word came out of her mouth. He lowered his head to kiss her by the corner of her lips, tempted to ask her whether she meant that she loved him. Alas, there was no turning back to the past. It was pointless to ask the question now. All that
