Laurence stood behind them with a piercing gaze. Even with her back facing him, Zoey could feel his eyes on her. She shielded her child, though it was no use. He had seen him.

Laurence stared at the child’s face.

While in the car, she said that he wasn’t even four yet. However, he already looked four or five. He could be four. Or five.

While Laurence looked at the child’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity. He hadn’t felt it before. The boy was much more mature than he thought. He was calm when he met strangers. Laurence held his gaze. He felt like he’d seen him before. The boy’s eyebrows looked a little like his. It wasn’t just in his head.

Zoey led the boy upstairs. Laurence watched them silently.

The boy said something in Zoey’s ear. Her eyebrows relaxed, and she smiled happily. She smiled at other people a lot. He was the only one she treated coldly.

Laurence was no longer anxious. He stood downstairs for a moment and only went into his car when he noticed the lights on the

    The assistant was nervous when he was called into the office.He quickly went over his work in his head. Had he done something wrong? Mr. Scott would not call him to his office otherwise. He asked, “Is there something you need from me, Mr. Scott?”“Yes.” Laurence looked at him and drummed his fingers on the table. After a while, he asked, “Do you remember the little boy you met in that hotel corridor?”The assistant was busy every day. He had multiple tasks waiting for him. He honestly couldn’t quite remember.He thought hard before he understood what Laurence meant. It was when Laurence played along with Eliza in front of her family. They’d met a little boy lost in the restaurant. The assistant wondered why Laurence would suddenly bring up the matter.“I do.”“Good.” Laurence got straight to the point. “Did he look like me?”The assistant was stunned. Then, he realized that he had reacted inappropriately and quickly asked, “Are you asking me if that child looked like you?”The

    The child was clever. He grew even warier. “And in the future?”Laurence stared at the face that looked like his. He didn’t deceive him. “Maybe.”Teddy’s cold face tensed. A child with an expression like that was still adorable and non-intimidating. He asked, “Why do you want to take me away? You’ve never seen me. And I’ll never follow you.”Laurence was being interrogated by this tiny human before him. He no longer treated him like a clueless child. “But if I am your father, I’m biologically related to you. It doesn’t matter what you think. If we take this to court, I could win.”Teddy frowned. He hated the man even more now. Why was his father like this? He was so disagreeable. He was even more unlikable than his pictures online. Teddy hated his words very much.Teddy looked at him angrily and asked, “Do you like me?”Laurence didn’t quite know what to say. It was unrealistic that he would have strong feelings for this estranged child. But he didn’t think that he didn’t love hi

    Teddy did not say anything to his mother. He didn’t want to. That man wanted to use him to get to her, but he wouldn’t let him.Teddy kissed his mother. “The other kids at school like me a lot.” He wasn’t lying. The other children indeed liked him. They surrounded him and used their snacks to bribe him. Teddy did not respond to their kindness. He did not like snacks and he did not like socializing. He thought they were noisy and stupid. If he played with them, he would become stupid, too. And he didn’t want that. That was why he nearly fell into that man’s trap today.Zoey massaged his temples. “You’re the most popular kid in the world. Did you share the bread I gave you this morning?”Teddy nodded. “Yes, I did.”“Did it taste good?”“It did.”Teddy did not bring up the man he’d met. He wouldn’t let bad guys win. Teddy wrapped his arms around his mother’s neck. She held him in her arms. “Mom, I want to go to a new kindergarten.”Zoey put him in the backseat and put his helmet

    Not going to take him away from her?Zoey did not believe Laurence. She looked at him coldly. “I’m not afraid of that. The child has nothing to do with you.”Laurence had already predicted her answer. She was a little more aggressive than he’d expected. “You can lie to me, but you shouldn’t lie to yourself.”“Can you show me any evidence?” Zoey looked at him with a sarcastic smile. “Even if you’ve somehow conducted a paternity test, it wouldn’t change a thing. You’ve never raised him. Where were you when he was kidnapped?”Zoey had never spoken to him so much before. “You’re waiting for the results of the DNA test. You think I’m lying to you because I want to use you. You didn’t believe it before. You shouldn't force it now.”All the hatred Zoey had suppressed in her heart all these years came to the surface. She shouldn’t care about anything at all. Even if it was hatred, she shouldn’t hate him. He wasn’t worth an ounce of her emotions.Laurence took her hand. When she tried to

    Zoey didn’t mean for her words to hurt Laurence. She was only explaining her situation to him. Even if she had returned to Northwell, she had nothing to do with him. She hadn’t come here for him. She wouldn’t foolishly fall in love with him. She couldn’t sum up her pain in three sentences. The past couldn’t be written off just like that.“You don’t like children anyway, Laurence. You’re disgusted by them. You don’t have to force yourself to see him. Your appearance will just scare him.”Zoey was speaking calmly. Her gaze was indifferent.Laurence pursed his lips. He didn’t hate this child, nor was the child frightened by him. But she might not believe him if he said that. Zoey seemed to have read his mind. She smirked. Laurence told her, “I can’t answer that.” Zoey was infuriated by his words. He didn’t seem willing to back down at all. Laurence looked at the anger in her eyes. He swallowed the bitterness in his chest. He was afraid she would hate him, but it was nothing c

    Laurence probably got Teddy’s DNA sample when he visited the kindergarten. Zoey saw the photo as a threat. Laurence was probably trying to intimidate her with the paternity test results, as they would give him a strong case for custody of Teddy. She deleted the message. She had spoken to a lawyer about custody rights and knew her chances of winning in court were only 50/50. Laurence had promised not to fight for custody, so Zoey was holding him to his word.Zoey calmed down when her mind was clear. But her head still felt heavy and dizzy. She had to push through her work. Even though she had made a name for herself in the industry, she had to accept all meetings and social engagements. She had to be polite and keep a smile on her face.Somehow, her university found out she had returned to Northwell. The head of the school of design called her. He spoke like he was speaking to a VIP, "We understand what happened years ago. The school has removed the penalty from your record. When

    Even though Teddy could sleep by himself, Zoey still told him a bedtime story. As Teddy slowly fell asleep, she tiptoed out of his room. There were several missed calls on her phone. Zoey returned Rose's call. She always had time for her friend. "I was putting Teddy to bed. What's up?" While Zoey was in Novarvia, she reconnected with Rose. She used Shawn's phone. Rose cried and laughed on the phone, and they talked for a long time before hanging up. She was afraid it was all a dream."Are you going to Skylar's benefit auction tomorrow?" "Yeah. Why not?" "I don't want you to be taken advantage of." Rose was still furious about the incident from five years ago. "I heard many people are attending." The movers and shakers of the business world, celebrities, and the reclusive wealthy were attending. It was going to be a major event. Eliza's sister-in-law was organizing the benefit auction. The upper class was a tight-knit community. Most would attend because of Skylar's status.

    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?"

    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

    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

    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
