Love in the dark Chapter 531 Secrecy
Zoey was clearly nervous as she faced her uncle. Hearing his words only made her want to dig a hole in the ground and stick her head in forever. It was clear that he was not someone she could easily deceive. Yet it seemed like he was turning a blind eye to her lies instead of exposing her.Softly, she reiterated, "Not a Scott."The solemnity on Jason's face was out of the ordinary as he asked sternly, "Are you really keeping this child?"Zoey looked up and met his eyes. She nodded, "Yes." At first, it was because she had no choice. However, she found herself gradually growing attached to the baby now.Janet struggled to process her daughter's confession; perhaps it was due to her old age that necessitated extra time to digest the information. She was in a trance for a good while. Two months had barely passed since her divorce, but now, not only did she have a new boyfriend, but she was expecting a child with him. While she knew young people were often ahead with today's trends, t

The minute Zoey received his reply in her inbox, she took time to mentally prepare herself before opening the file. As luck would have it, she only found three comments annotated—a drastically reduced number compared to the last time. She forwarded the email to Katie and the two had a quick run-through before they started amending the plan accordingly. Once the revised version was completed the next day, Zoey went to the office building of the Scott Group for the meeting. They had specifically requested her presence—perhaps Laurence had too much on his plate lately to be picking on her.He was also absent from the meeting. Zoey heaved a sigh of relief upon realizing he wouldn't be joining the meeting. The lead of the Carol Bay project was replaced by a very capable-looking middle-aged woman. On one of the two toilet breaks she took, Zoey bumped into Amanda, who was there to discuss some matters with her uncle. The minute the lady laid eyes on Zoey, they were pinned on her for a go

Sarah was in pain all over. She was so angry that she trembled as she shouted, “I’m going to call the police!”Zoey was standing nearby. She smiled and asked, “Do you have evidence, though?”Whenever Sarah hurt someone, she did it in places without surveillance cameras. Zoey had done the same. There was no footage of Zoey pushing her, so she had no evidence even if she did file a police report.“Do you have evidence, though?” Sarah had asked Zoey the same question countless times before. Whenever Zoey was blamed or wronged, Sarah would say this with a sly grin. Now that Sarah had gotten a taste of her own medicine, she found it was a terrible feeling. She was so angry that her chest hurt. She had never felt so wronged before.In the private room, the dinner had come to an end. The seat next to Laurence was left empty. It was apparent that the person who occupied it was not coming back. The atmosphere was rather tense. After saying a few words to each other, everyone left. After the

Laurence only went home around 1 am.His mother was waiting for him in the living room. She had noticed he had been busy the past few months but had no clue what he was busy with. It seemed he was keeping himself busy to distract himself from problems that plagued his mind.“Why are you home so late? Did you work overtime again? Were you the only one working overtime?”Laurence did go to the office to do work. He couldn’t sleep early anyway, so he thought that he might as well do that.“Things at the company have been hectic lately.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”Mrs. Scott scrutinized him and only believed him when she could tell he wasn’t lying. “You should take care of your health nonetheless.”She was very sleepy but forced herself to stay up to see him. She had already forgotten what she’d wanted to say to him. Instead, she handed him a photo album. “The helper found this when she was cleaning the guest room today. There are two photos of Zoey in it. It should be hers. Return

Laurence was not a stubborn man. The only thing he was stubborn about was refusing to admit he had fallen in love with someone he didn’t use to care about. He was biased against her and told himself repeatedly that she wasn’t his type. Yet, he couldn’t forget her and wanted to get back with her. Laurence did not want to go back on the words he had said in the past. However, all his struggles were in vain. He regretted everything he had said and done. … Zoey had been pregnant for about five months. Her body was still weak. The doctor suggested she take maternity leave so she wouldn’t push herself further. She took the advice.Her uncle, Jason, accompanied her to her doctor’s appointments. At first, the nurses thought he was her husband. Zoey knew her uncle was busy, and she felt bad about taking up so much of his time. She no longer went to the studio. Instead, she employed Rose to help sort things out. Things at the studio were in a relatively stable stage. Hence, Zoey did not h
Last Updated : 2023-06-16Love in the dark Chapter 536 Loss
The wind howled.It had been a while since Laurence last called Zoey. They never contacted each other for work or personal issues. Zoey had been going out less often, so she never bumped into him on the street. They’d last met on the night of the dinner party. Since then, they hadn’t met at all. Zoey thought Laurence would not come looking for her anymore. She did not expect him to call her. She didn’t know what he had to say to her. They usually corresponded through email or held face-to-face meetings for work-related matters.Zoey kept quiet. Laurence did not seem to know what to say either.“I love you. I can’t live without you. Let’s get back together. It’s all my fault.” There were many things he wanted to say, but he couldn’t. Instead, he said, “It’s been a while since we last met. My mom’s birthday is next month. She likes you a lot. I wanted to ask if you'd like to attend her birthday party.”He was using his mother as an excuse.Zoey hesitated. Mrs. Scott had treated he

Expressionless, Laurence stood at the door with his arms firmly pressed against it. Everything Janet said was true, and Laurence couldn’t argue with her. He calmly swallowed the taste of blood in his throat and said, "Ms. Fulton, I apologize for the intrusion. It was not my intention. However, there is something I must say to her in person."Even when Janet was indifferent in her words, she rarely made anyone feel uncomfortable. Her good manners over the years prevented her from uttering particularly harsh words. "She wouldn't want to see you. I hope you can exercise some discretion. Divorced couples shouldn't be seeing each other regularly."The words "divorced couple" felt like a dagger piercing to the heart.Laurence remained composed, but he subconsciously pressed his lips together. "Although we're divorced, we ended things on good terms. It doesn't mean we can't see each other."Realizing that he wouldn't get any answers from Janet, Laurence stopped questioning her. Tracki

Laurence stood rooted to the ground, not far away. He couldn't find the energy to step forward. His gaze lingered on Zoey’s protruding belly for a long time as if trying to get a closer look. The sunlight illuminated his increasingly pale face, reflecting a vivid image in his eyes. He remained silent, not wanting to disturb her.Although Zoey felt sore and swollen, she couldn't lie in bed all day. Moderate walking was beneficial for pregnancy, and over the past few months, she had gradually developed an emotional connection with the child in her belly. She finally understood why parents were willing to sacrifice everything for their children. Some love truly was unconditional.Although Jared would often boast that he was the child's father, he didn't dare touch her belly. It was as if her abdomen was fragile, and he was afraid of accidentally causing her harm. However, the baby in her belly was well-behaved. It wasn't picky with food and rarely kicked.Spring was about to arrive in

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
