Love in the dark Chapter 653 Why Bother Catching Up
Laurence verified Zoey's marriage status with influential and well-connected senior alumni in Novarvia he knew. Soon, Laurence had information on Zoey's wedding date, venue, and details of her husband. The spouse was a classmate of Zoey's, but the reason for their marriage was unclear. There was also no information on her life before her studies in Novarvia, how she got there, or how she started her life there.Laurence’s email inbox contained information about Zoey’s past. While he had been looking for her, she was in Novarvia. It explained why he couldn’t find her. He did not trust Jason fully. He had kept an eye on her apartment over the years, but she never returned. Laurence's head hurt from all the thinking, and he was out of cigarettes. It didn't bother him that she was married. He thought that it was fine if she was married with a child. All that mattered was that she was alive. His arrogance nearly killed her. His prejudice pushed her further away. Everything that happene

People in the event hall turned their attention to Zoey and Laurence. Zoey didn’t care about being embarrassed in public. She was determined to leave. Laurence clutched her wrist and pulled her into his arms. As Zoey was wearing heels, the force made her stagger and she slammed into his chest. He grabbed her arm and didn’t show signs of letting go. The others fell silent and pretended they saw nothing. There was a private conference room outside the event hall that could give them some privacy. Stern and unfriendly bodyguards in black stood watch outside the door.Zoey was dragged into the private conference room. She said nothing as she broke free from Laurence’s grasp. She stumbled and hit her back on the edge of a table. Laurence stayed still. Zoey’s presence felt like a dream. When he woke up, she would be gone. Zoey folded her arms and kept her guard up. Her eyes were wary. Laurence didn't dare to face her. He needed time to process that Zoey was now a stranger in his life.

Some truths were no longer relevant after some time. In fact, Zoey realized that the problems between her and Laurence were not solely due to others' interference. The vague affection she had when they were younger was fragile. A gentle breeze was enough to destroy it.If Laurence hadn't mistaken her for Sarah and the misunderstanding had never happened, the awkwardness between them wouldn't have been reversed. She was never Laurence’s type. The mistake was real, and so were the passionate heartbeats at the time. Zoey couldn't be bothered anymore."Robert is holding a grudge against Jasmine for not bailing him out with her connections. He's only saying this to get back at them. I wasn’t in Northwell that summer vacation. I was by my mother’s side. We were doing great, and nothing unusual happened." Zoey didn't care that her lie was flawed or if he believed it. She added, "You don't have to take it to heart."Laurence was silent. He hadn't expected her to deny it so decisively. He sa

Zoey had never underestimated Laurence's efficiency. She knew it was highly probable that he had already managed to find out everything he could about her husband when she told him she was married. Since they weren't an actual couple, she wasn't bothered that her husband had other lovers. She had met his partner while she was in Novravia and found him very likable. However, she was annoyed that Laurence was intruding on her privacy. It seemed to have developed into a habit."Yeah, I know."These few words carried a lot of weight. The car fell silent, and they remained so for quite a while. Perhaps Laurence hadn't expected her to be so casual about this. Zoey’s indifference threw him off guard.Laurence lowered his eyelids, and his lashes cast a shadow on his cheeks. He asked, "Why?"Why didn't she care?"I don't mind." Zoey smiled. "As long as he's willing to come back to me. That's all I ask."Laurence wanted to imply that her marriage was far from perfect. She didn't believe

Zoey booked a return flight for the following day. When Teddy learned they were returning to Novarvia, he leaped with joy. He hugged his mother and kissed her cheek. When Jason found out that they were leaving, he frowned and asked, "Did you meet Laurence?"Zoey looked down. "Yeah, I ran into him."Jason looked at her as he loosened his tie and asked, "You're leaving to avoid him?" Five years in hiding should have been enough.Zoey nodded her head, but a shake quickly followed.As she bobbed her head like a pigeon, Jason cracked up. He raised a hand and ruffled her hair like he did when she was a little girl. "What are you trying to say? I won't know what you're thinking if you say nothing."Zoey lifted her head, and her eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I'm not afraid to face him. I just find it more troublesome if I do. So I'd rather go back earlier. Plus, I have work to do there."Jason reluctantly accepted her explanation. Laure

"I know what you want to say," he continued calmly before she could speak. "I admit. I am a despicable, shameless man."He stood at the window and gazed at the horizon in the distance. Even through the phone, he could picture the expression on her face. She must be furious. Knowing she would be pissed wouldn't have stopped him from doing it. He wanted to keep her nearby, even if it necessitated dishonorable means.Zoey shut her eyes and focused on her breathing. After regaining composure, she asked in the iciest tone, "And the deadline?"The cold breeze attacked his face like rain that froze his skin. Laurence gripped the railing with one hand, his pupils as dark as black ink. "I don't know." A spiteful hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes. He added, "You can ask your husband to meet you here."He spoke as though he had considered every aspect of her migration.Zoey hadn't been this angry in a long time. She’d had enough. She asked, "Is it true that you still love me?""That's

Sarah’s health started getting worse when she was in university. Zoey wasn't sure what illness she had because she was busy working and didn’t have time to bother about the princess’ problems.Sarah even took a month off to get surgery. It seemed to cure her. But when she broke up with Laurence that year, she went for treatment again but told everyone she was going abroad. Year after year, Sarah's health never truly improved. She had a chronic illness, and it kept coming back. Zoey wanted to praise Sarah for putting so much effort into harming others even when she was so sick."Sarah doesn’t have a job right now. When she no longer has the money to feed those bad people, they’re not going to stop being nice. They’re going to be hard to handle. They’ll keep coming back for more. You may not have any proof, but it’s not the same for them."Human greed knows no bounds. Desires are hard to please."Her life is different now. Because of her plagiarism, her reputation in the design indus

"Think about all the trouble you've caused. Haven't I always protected you no matter what? I gave you many second chances and cleaned up your mess." Laurence remembered the past. All those problems Sarah had caused were not smart. Yet, every single time, he had stood by her side.Suddenly, Laurence grabbed her throat. His lips tugged into a cold sneer. "Do you really think I'm such a fool?"Pain shot through Sarah’s body from her throat. She had little strength to resist. She knew he would never believe a word she said ever again. She had used a lot of his good grace. Probably a little too much.Laurence was tired of her. His impression of her as an unattainable lover transformed into poisonous arrows that struck his heart. The pain in his chest was genuine. She disgusted him. He didn’t even want her answer.She was so selfish and cruel. Her hypocrisy was far beyond his imagination. Her true self appalled him more and more every minute. He wanted to throw away the feelings he once

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
