Love in the dark Chapter 719 Love
Laurence grabbed a clean towel from the bathroom. He wet the towel to wipe Zoey's face. Zoey wasn't asleep yet. She was still mumbling incoherently. She suddenly opened her eyes and fixed them on the man.Laurence held his breath, and his heart skipped a beat when she looked at him. He quickly composed himself and said in a raspy voice, "What's the matter?"He wondered why she looked at him that way. Zoey reached out to touch his face. He froze as she ran her hand along his face. Her palm was warm, and her fingers were soft. She was silent, and he was quiet. Time passed. Zoey blinked. She felt like she was in a dream. Everything was blurry, and she was caught between memory and reality. She saw the young man she once loved looking into her eyes. He told her that he loved her. She felt like the world around her wasn’t real, and she couldn’t tell the difference between her dreams and reality. Zoey looked at Laurence. "Do you love me?" She had no idea who she was asking because i

Laurence lay awake for most of the night. He stared at Zoey until her mumbling stopped. She seemed to have stopped dreaming.The woman buried her face in the pillow. Her face was flushed, and her brows were relaxed. She looked peaceful in her sleep. Her pale neck was bruised all over with marks from his hands from the heat of passion. He didn't mean to lose control but he couldn't help himself.Laurence reached out to caress her face. His touch was gentle so he wouldn’t wake her. His chest tightened. The name she said in her sleep haunted him like a curse. He wanted to let it go, but Laurence couldn't shake it off his mind. Even though he didn't think Zoey had feelings for Shawn, when she whispered someone else's name in her sleep, it felt like a knife to his heart. The pain and annoyance lingered. Laurence had no idea who else she loved. It could be her young-looking husband or Shawn, who had been missing for a while now. But it could not be him.He stared at Zoey. His eyes were

Zoey took a deep breath. Her fingers trembled as she tried to button up her dress. She did not want to act differently. Even though last night's event had gotten out of hand, she had to remain calm. "I'm dressed." Laurence turned around and looked at Zoey. He then put on his clothes in front of her. Zoey couldn't believe how strong the alcohol had been. She couldn't remember how she got drunk. She had not blacked out, but she couldn't control her actions. She pulled herself together to face Laurence. She refused to mention the events of the night before. She looked calm. "Can you leave?" Laurence was more at ease than she was. He looked at her and asked, "Are you trying to get rid of me after having your way with me? You don't strike me as the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type." Zoey was still shy about the subject even though many years had passed. She choked. She couldn’t believe he would be so blunt about what happened last night. She thought adults would pretend nothing had

Zoey always threw up after taking the morning-after pill. She vomited non-stop, and it was very uncomfortable. Laurence watched in anger as she bought the pill. However, he could not say anything about it. Before the pharmacist could bring Zoey the pill, Laurence grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the drugstore. Zoey believed he had lost his mind. She tried to fight back, but she couldn't break free from his grip. She often felt frustrated that she could never overpower him. "What are you doing?" Zoey raised her voice. "What has gotten into you?" It was not wise to create a scene in public. To everyone else, they looked like a couple having a spat. Zoey scratched the back of Laurence's hand, and it started bleeding. It was the first time she had ever done that. Laurence felt no pain, but he found it different and new for her. He explained patiently, "Don't get the pill."She took a deep breath. "Can you be sensible? You won't have to bear the consequences. That's why you

Zoey repeated, "We're not together." The owner, Claire, let out a long "Oh.” She meant no harm, but she was curious. "So he's chasing you?" Zoey shook her head. "No." Claire snuck a smile and winked playfully at Zoey. "It doesn't seem like nothing. He even reserved all the rooms on your floor." Since Claire looked like she was about Zoey's age, she could speak comfortably with her. Claire smiled and hinted, "I think he's into you." Zoey pretended like she and Laurence were not close. "Maybe. I don't know him well." Claire had been running the bed and breakfast for many years. She had met all types of people, including newlyweds, college sweethearts, and married couples who weren’t in love. She had a keen eye for people. "I'm a good judge of character. He has feelings for you." The pair didn't seem like friends. The way the man looked at the woman was more than friendly. "He's hot. You look good together." Zoey took the comment with a grain of salt. She didn't say anythi

"Sorry." Laurence's apology didn't seem genuine. Zoey was speechless and appalled by Laurence's audacity. He added frankly, "I followed you here. I wasn't going to tell you, but I couldn't help myself." He handed her the milkshake. "Don't you want it?" Zoey fell silent for a while but accepted the milkshake. She had a habit of biting the straw. She took a sip, and the drink wasn't too sweet. Laurence bought himself a cup, too. He had never had a milkshake. He usually passed on them. Tonight, he wanted to try something Zoey liked. He took one sip, and the drink was too sweet for him. Laurence gulped down the mouthful of milkshake with a straight face. He lied, "It's delicious." Zoey curled her lips. She saw through his lie. "You don't like it." Laurence took another sip and made his act believable. "It's delicious." He then asked her, "What? Yours isn’t?" Zoey saw an improvement in his patience. He didn't comment in annoyance that the drink was alright like he used to. S

The man screamed in pain. It didn't take long before he was black and blue. He helplessly lifted his arms to block his face. His friends in the back finally realized they should help him. They were kicked and thrown against the wall on their backs before they could get close. They sat against the wall, unable to get up as they winced in agony. Even when they teamed up, the men were no match for Laurence. He may have looked like a gentleman with a slender build, but his attack was ruthless.The man tasted the rust and spat out the blood in his mouth. He forced himself to get up. He didn’t want to look weak in front of his friends. He asked, "Who the hell are you? Why do you care? You attacked us out of nowhere!" Even though he was beaten to a pulp, the man endured the pain and added furiously, "What? Who is she to you? Why are you protecting her?" Laurence had not used violence in a long time. He knew that violence was immature and would not solve the problem. The act of aggressi

The ambulance arrived on time. Zoey sat in the ambulance with Laurence. As he was wheeled into the operating room, Zoey stood outside the surgery doors in a daze. She stared blankly at the red light above the door that told her the surgery was in progress. The blood on her hands had dried. Her clothes were stained with his blood too. She looked like she had been through a lot. The nurse thought she was injured, too. "We should patch you up." Zoey snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the nurse. She couldn't really hear what came out of her own mouth. She replied, "I'm fine. I'm not injured." She was covered in Laurence's blood. The shade of red on her palms brought her back to that gruesome year. The stab wound may not have been fatal, but the cut was deep. When the knife was removed, the blood gushed like a faucet had been turned on."You have a lot of blood on you. We should get you checked out. Maybe you're injured somewhere that you don't know about." "It's okay. I'm

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
