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?"

    "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

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 516 Dating

    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

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 517 Heartburn

    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 518 Enough

    Laurence sat in the doctor's office with his long legs spread out before him. He had taken his coat off when he came in, and his white shirt was unbuttoned at the top. He looked calm and languid. He said firmly, "Doctor, my emotions are very stable." Self-control was part of having stable emotions, and he had always been a calm person.The doctor wasn't surprised to hear him say that. Some people were too arrogant to accept such a diagnosis. "Your checkup results are indeed impeccable. Vomiting blood can sometimes be caused by gastric ulcers, but your gastroscopy results show no issues, Mr. Scott. Your other organs are also very healthy." The doctor felt that heartburn was an easy diagnosis to accept. It was more pleasant to the ear than some complicated and incurable disease. "If you think the results are inaccurate, you may do another checkup at another hospital."Laurence took the report and stood up, looking like a giant in the small office as he towered at six feet tall. He sa

    Everyone fell silent at Laurence’s words. They knew it wasn’t their place to say these things when he was clearly upset.When Sarah returned with a glass of water, she noticed that the room had fallen quiet and the atmosphere was tense. However, she did not know what happened. She glanced between Adrian and Laurence.“What happened?” she asked.“It’s nothing,” Adrian replied with a smile. After hearing Adrian reassure her, Sarah did not think much about it. She held the glass tight and her hand shook slightly as she placed it before Laurence. She did not pass it to him but placed it where he could reach it easily.“Are you really not drinking tonight, Laurence?”Sarah hoped that he would drink liquor. If he was drunk, it would be easier to hide the truth about the drug from him. She could pass it off as him being drunk. After all, not just anyone could enter Adrian’s mansion. Only a few playboys had brought their girlfriends along. They would not dare to drug Laurence.Laurence

    Sarah’s heart beat wildly in her chest. She had not felt so nervous and excited in years. Everything was going according to plan. She was so close to accomplishing her goal. She stepped forward to stand beside Laurence, looking very elegant with her slim figure and long hair that flowed to her waist.Someone snapped a picture of them walking side by side. They looked like a beautiful couple.Adrian was reminded of when Laurence walked home with Sarah after school many years ago. Their silhouettes were similar now. If only nothing had changed.The person who took the picture sent it to the alumni group chat. Instantly, many people replied.“They used to be the most popular kids in school.”“OMG! I’m so envious.”“Have they gotten back together? I thought Laurence Scott got divorced recently?”“It must have been an arranged marriage void of love.”“I hope they invite us to their wedding.”A few hundred people were in the alumni group chat, so the photo was soon shared and reposte

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 521 Like a Blizzard

    Sarah fell to her knees. Her legs had lost all strength, and she couldn’t stand. Laurence’s willpower was much stronger than she had imagined. This was something that she had never expected.Sarah opened her mouth to speak, hoping to explain the situation, but she did not know where to start. She felt guilty and didn’t know what to say.Laurence’s eyes were still bloodshot, and he still felt dizzy. The blood coursing through his veins still felt like it was on fire. He picked up his jacket and turned around coldly without uttering a word. Then, he waited for his vision to clear up before striding out of the room without looking back.Sarah gritted her teeth and clambered up from the ground, chasing after him. “Please hear me out, Laurence. You were drunk. I was worried about you, so I brought you up here.”He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly. He looked at her with a piercing stare before clearing his throat and saying, “Is that all you have to say?”Sarah di

    Laurence took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. His hands were pressed upon Zoey’s skin and he couldn’t stop himself from caressing her face.Zoey’s eyes were red with hatred. Her hatred for him burned like a raging fire.Laurence’s heart ached when he heard what she said. Her words brought him back to his senses instantly. She was right. He shouldn’t have come to meet her in the first place. He had made that decision subconsciously, without thinking it through.“Can’t I come to see you?” he asked, expressionless.Zoey was still trapped in his arms. The backseat of the car was spacious, but she felt suffocated as he pinned her against the cushion. As she stared at his face, she felt even more upset. She couldn’t help but recall the picture she saw earlier that night. Laurence had already gotten what he wanted, but why wouldn’t he let her go? “Why is he playing me like this?” she wondered.She teared up and hit his shoulder as hard as she could, shouting, “You should know

    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

    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

    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
