Love in the dark Chapter 668 Forgiveness
It was easy for Zoey to secure a job after completing her studies in Novarvia. Her job was not significantly affected when she did not return to Novarvia, as she could communicate online on many matters. However, she had to solve the issue of her identification.Zoey was reported dead in police records. Updating her records would be a paperwork nightmare. It would take a lot of time and energy. Even though Zoey did not have much free time, she went to the police station. However, after speaking with the police, she realized it would be a hassle. She was not in a rush anyway. Zoey researched all the kindergartens in Northwell. She concluded that Teddy was enrolled in the best kindergarten there was.Her busy schedule and worry finally caught up to her. Even though she had been careful, she caught a cold. She got better after resting for two days but was still didn’t feel 100%. Zoey's health declined after barely surviving her injuries. She got sick frequently. Even a minor cold le

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.

Eliza looked where Skylar was pointing and saw Laurence. He was in a black suit. Even from afar, he gave off an unapproachable air.She tried to hide herself, praying Laurence's ex-wife wouldn't see her. Eliza didn't know what to tell her parents as Laurence no longer had the patience to put up an act or lie for her. She could only hope Laurence wouldn’t rat her out to her parents. Lying to her parents was a minor offense, but Eliza would be in for it if they found out she was dating a man she met online. Unfortunately, Eliza stood close to Skylar. Skylar was a social butterfly, and people would stop to say hello to her. Eliza was caught in the middle of the interactions. When Eliza saw Laurence's ex-wife looking in her direction, she wanted to bury her head in the sand. Eliza quickly hid behind Skylar. Skylar didn’t notice Eliza’s discomfort. She pulled her out and introduced her to others. Zoey soon looked away. Eliza tugged on Skylar's sleeve. "When will the auction begin? Ev

Zoey didn't care. Even though the necklace was once important to her, she was ready to let it go. Laurence clenched his fist. She said, "You can give it to your other girlfriends." Although she did not mean to be sarcastic, her words cut through him like a knife. Laurence pursed his pale lips. "Why did you bid so high if you didn't want it?"Zoey curled her lips. "Why can't I? I can do whatever I want with my money." She wiped the smile off her face and looked him in the eye. She said, "Besides, I'm earning an honest living. It's not money I got from selling myself to you." Her self-deprecation cut Laurence to the core. It was a reminder of how he once belittled her. He never gave her the dignity she deserved. All the humiliation he had inflicted on her came flooding back to him. He had called her a whore. Zoey admitted she had acted like a whore when they were together. Laurence couldn’t refute her. What more could he say? He couldn't deny that he had called her that. He re

“Don't look at me like that. You fainted,” Laurence said. Zoey pulled the covers off to get out of bed. The man pinned her back into bed. Her body was weak. He furrowed his brows and said, “The doctor said you have a fever. Take it easy now.” She brushed his hand off. “I'll go to the hospital. Mind your business.” She finally fell unconscious. The sky was dark. The faint moonlight outside the window looked hazy. The bedroom furnishing was unfamiliar to Zoey. She believed she hadn't been in this place before. She guessed that she was in a villa. It was quiet outside. Streetlights in the distance lit up the area.Zoey felt lightheaded and stumbled forward. Her arms were too heavy to pick up, and her legs had no strength. Instead of stopping her, Laurence followed behind. He urged, "Slow down. Don't fall." She would get hurt if she rolled down the stairs. Zoey froze at the sound of his voice. She staggered along the corridor. They were probably on the third floor. She stood b
Last Updated : 2023-08-14Love in the dark Chapter 674 Never Better
Zoey bit Laurence's lip. She broke his skin and drew blood. Laurence acted like the wound was nothing. She narrowed her eyes at him. Zoey felt that one slap wasn't enough, so she raised her arm to give him another. She was sick and couldn't hit him very hard, but the slap still stung."Why are you still shutting me up with your dirty antics? Let me leave if you don't want to hear what I have to say." Zoey hit Laurence again. He took several steps forward, and his sudden approach scared her. She flinched away because she was afraid he might do something rash. He looked at her and said, "I wasn't trying to shut you up. I just wanted to kiss you." The comment only made Zoey angrier. She frowned. "Did you ask for my consent? The years have only made you pushier." Her tone was sharp. She wasn’t trying to hide her true feelings any longer. Zoey's cheeks were flushed with rage. She looked more alive. Her words seemed to get to Laurence's head, but he replied, "Sorry. I'll try not to do

Zoey wasn't lying or trying to act tough. She had a good idea of whether her life was good in Novarvia. The past five years might have been difficult, but she had never been in a better situation.Laurence looked relieved. His frown disappeared. He felt relieved but overcome with sadness. Zoey murmured, "At least I was in a better place than when I was with you." It was like she was talking to herself. As they stood close together, Laurence could hear every word she said. The words cut through him like a knife. Laurence pursed his lips. He fell silent. It felt like he was admitting she had a tough time with him, even though that wasn't his intention. At first, he had ill intentions toward the child, but he did not mean to harm him. However, things happened that were beyond his control, and he ended up hurting Zoey instead.At the time, Laurence didn't love her as much as he did now. He didn't care as much. He watched as she was hurt, but his conscience was clear. He believed si

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
