Love in the dark Chapter 510 A Kept Woman
Zoey grew more distressed as she mulled it over. She contemplated for so long but couldn’t think of a perfect solution.After a simple breakfast, Zoey returned to the hospital to pick up her medication. Henry offered to drive her there. There was a queue at the pharmacy, and after a few minutes, it was her turn. The doctor checked the prescription and handed her two boxes in a plastic bag. Zoey expressed her gratitude and turned around, only to come face to face with a man she hadn't seen in a long time.Laurence's insomnia hadn't improved. Melatonin had no effect on him, and he still couldn't sleep through the night. Even when he did fall asleep, he was often startled awake by nightmares. Recently, he couldn't even get five hours of sleep a day. The quality of his sleep was also poor. He would occasionally wake up during the night. The bedroom was pitch black as he no longer need to leave the light on for Zoey. The black curtains almost completely shut out the moonlight from outsi

Laurence remained calm. He said dismissively, "The paparazzi are making things up. I didn’t know they would write something like that."He rarely explained anything, but this time he felt the need to clarify, obviously not wanting Zoey to misunderstand.Zoey smiled lightly and countered sarcastically, "I don't think any media would dare report false news about you."Laurence was no pushover. He had always protected his private life, and the media rarely touched or spread false news about him. Almost eighty percent of his news was real.Laurence answered modestly, "I'm not that capable."Zoey didn't have time to chat with Laurence. Henry was waiting for her in the underground parking lot.However, Laurence didn't intend to let her leave just like that. He stared straight at her and asked, "Where is that friend you mentioned?"Zoey paused briefly, then picked up her phone and called Henry. She spoke into the phone, "I'm done. Come to the entrance and pick me up. I'm being bothered

Zoey swore that it wasn't intentional. She must have felt nauseous from the car ride and vomited the breakfast she had eaten two hours before.However, her explanation was futile. Kimberly wouldn't believe her words. She would only think that Zoey did it deliberately to get back at her.Zoey offered, "There's a restroom at the end of the corridor. Would you like to clean yourself up?"Kimberly was so enraged that she couldn't speak for a while. She could mock and ridicule Zoey but couldn't bring herself to assault her physically. After all, she still had some self-respect.With a cold expression, she stomped her high heels forcefully and went to the restroom. After a quick wash, she still felt disgusted and called her assistant to bring her a fresh set of clothes. The incident had ruined her mood for the entire day.Kimberly didn't dare complain to her nephew. He wouldn't buy her story and would blame her for provoking Zoey in the first place. Kimberly found it strange. Zoey didn'

Given Zoey's character, Amanda assumed she would reject the offer. To her surprise, Zoey replied, "Alright. If it's someone compatible, I don't mind." Amanda tried her best not to look surprised. She regretted not regretting their conversation, certain that things would be interesting Laurence knew. Comment by Zhulin Yap: Not too sure what this means so I haven't edited it. Suggested edit: She was certain things would get interesting once Laurence found out."Isn’t the usual order, go on dates, get married, then start a family?”"That seems to be the case for most people.""Ah, I see. How long does the dating phase usually last before marriage?"Amanda's engagement was a business deal. Her fiancé needed her father's connections, while the Hartners needed the network his family had. Since they could satisfy each other's needs, marriage and business were practically the same. That was why she didn't know how long couples typically dated before getting married. Zoey had had i

Only someone with a guilty conscience would hide and evade the situation. Falling in love, getting pregnant, and having a child weren’t things that had to be concealed.Janet was a little stunned by the news. Her daughter had just gotten divorced not long ago, so she found it hard to believe she already had a new lover. She doubted Zoey was that resolute to move on. From what Janet had seen, her daughter was only focused on her studio work, as if she had killed any emotion of love left inside her. "You're not joking, are you?""No, it’s not April Fool’s Day." Zoey said, feeling guilty. Forcing herself to stay calm, she said, "When I get the opportunity, I'll bring him over to meet you."Janet was still confused. She grasped her daughter's hand and asked, "When did you two meet? How did you meet?"Zoey had been prepared for an interrogation from her mother. She answered, "I met him before the divorce.""Of course. So, what's going on between you two?""When he found out we were

"Mr. Scott, aren't you leaving?" The entertainment company was putting a lot of effort into lifting the influencer beside Laurence to stardom recently. However, it wasn't as exaggerated as the news had reported. She and Laurence had only had a few meals together. She intended to suck up to him but didn't know where to start. Behind them were a few big guns from the entertainment company, who didn't know whether the rumors were real either. They had invited the influencer to test the waters. What if the rumors were true? However, judging the current situation, it didn’t seem likely. Laurence blinked and said plainly, "You guys go ahead. I'm going out for a smoke." The big guns dared not hold him back. How could they stop Laurence if he wanted some time alone? However, the influencer was a little disappointed because she had lost her chance to kiss up to Laurence again. She could only hold a firm position and make it far in this industry if she had a powerful backer. She reluct

Kimberly's words were like a jab to a hornet’s nest. The moment she finished speaking, Laurence shot her a knife-like glare. Although she was afraid, she still thought she had said nothing wrong. "Isn't it true that you’re both still childless after two years of marriage? You do health checkups every year, so there can't be anything wrong. That just proves she's the problem. I'm just speaking facts, so why are you threatening me so furiously?" Laurence’s expression told Ryan that something was wrong, and he hurriedly calmed his aunt down. "Aunt Kim, stop talking! This has nothing to do with you."Kimberly regretted what she had said the moment she said it, knowing she shouldn't have been so impulsive. If Laurence decided to take revenge one day, she would suffer. She was fully aware how ruthless her nephew could be. He could mercilessly fire anyone in top management at the company, even if they were blood-related. Laurence snorted and chided, "Since you like children so much, wh

Nothing lasted forever in this world, but Shawn thought he would love Zoey till the day the world ended. He continued cooking dinner, and later before he left the house, was struck by a thought and doubled back to bandage the cut on his hand. He didn't want to frighten her.Shawn knocked on the opposite door like a polite neighbor. Janet opened the door and let him in habitually. These days, he always came by to help Zoey's mother with trivial chores whenever Zoey was out for work. When the bathroom light was broken, he fixed it. Janet had thought he had been chased out of the Fulton family after learning that he had argued with his mother. She had no idea that the man in front of her was the ruthless scion of the Zuckman family, thinking he was a poor kid with no one to return to."Mrs. Fulton, I made some soup and can't finish it alone," Shawn said as he held up a flask of warm soup. Janet thought he was being too kind. As she accepted the flask, she noticed the bandage on his fi

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
