Love in the dark Chapter 92
All the emotions and desire in Laurence’s eyes faded away in an instant.He slowly pulled away and backed off.The overwhelming sense of pressure Zoey felt from behind her disappeared as he withdrew. She did not mean to hint at anything else. That was just a calm statement of fact. A huge disparity in status had always existed between the both of them in this deal they struck.Laurence was the one who had always been in control, he had initiated the deal, set the rules, and had the final say on everything.Her thoughts never mattered.So why would he be worried about her getting pregnant again? She wouldn’t be able to, anyway.As he had said previously, ultimately it was her body that was being violated. She wouldn’t make things difficult for herself.Zoey blinked. “Are you going to continue, Laurence?”If he wasn’t, she was ready to catch some sleep.She was really worn out.After a long pause, she heard a cold and restrained voice with a hint of indifference, "No."She gave a hum of

Zoey could tell that he wasn’t in the best of moods from the view of his back alone.She felt that he wasn’t in this state earlier tonight. At least he wasn’t as upset as he was right now. Had something happened?But Zoey wasn’t too bothered. After all, she held no control over Laurence’s emotions.Sarah Jenner was the only one who could affect him.Zoey went back to the bedroom after she downed half a glass of water.She had just laid back on the bed and was about to go back to sleep when her hands were grabbed and pinned above her head. She was startled awake. It wasn’t until she saw the man before her that she heaved a sigh of relief.Laurence smelled strongly of cigarettes.She didn’t even have the time to ask him what was wrong before he forced a kiss on her. Her wrists were tied to the headboards with a tie, and she was left with no means to resist.She knew that Laurence was angry, but she really hated it when he vented his anger toward other people out on her.It made her feel

Zoey did not know what to term her time with Laurence. They were not on a date per se, but it was true that it was just the two of them.Laurence asked Zoey for the address as he drove.After a moment of hesitation, Zoey gave him the address on Stork Street. She was anxious as she hadn’t been back in many years. The view along the journey appeared quite foreign to her. “Please drive slower, you’ll have to stop at the entrance of the alley.Laurence reached out to stroke her hair and acknowledged her instructions. He seemed to be in a much better mood than he was the night before.He chuckled at the thought of something. His attractive eyes were slightly upturned when he smiled, which gave him a somewhat foxy look. “Sarah used to tell me that Southgrove was a nice place with lots of beautiful people. I guess she wasn’t lying.”Southgrove was a quaint town.Even the weather felt much nicer there.Zoey was distracted when he said that. She had told him the exact same thing before.He was

Zoey turned away from him to evade his touch, then she forced a smile and said, “I’m really alright.”They passed several traffic lights, crossed two main streets, and arrived at Stork Street.Laurence pulled up by the side of the road. “Is this it?”The sight of the alley which had hardly changed made Zoey feel slightly better. “Yes.”"Is this your home?"Zoey had nothing to hide. “My grandmother’s.”The cobblestoned alley was peaceful, with walls covered with vines of creeping plants that had withered over the winter.Zoey grew up in a very loving family, and she had a happy childhood.If it weren’t for those changes, she reckoned that she’d lead a pretty good life today.Zoey wore a light grey coat and a pretty hat that covered part of her face. She looked quite different from her usual appearance at the office.Laurence stood aside and observed her. Somehow, he got the feeling that she seemed very lonely. She looked like a lost child as she stood there alone.He went forward and to

Laurence wasn’t surprised. Although Zoey was very beautiful, she was way too introverted. She was an obedient and good girl through and through. Even if she grew feelings for another person, she would simply keep it hidden in her heart and hold onto that secret herself. “Well, that’s too bad,” he said offhandedly.Zoey’s grip on the note tightened. That piece of yellowed paper was filled with the thoughts of a lovestruck teenage girl. She was ever grateful that she hadn't dared to write his name on it. Instead, she had written his initials, L.S. And even that was hidden in a corner at the bottom of the page.Zoey lowered her head and said morosely, “Nothing to feel sorry over.”Laurence looked at her pursed lips and downcast eyes. She seemed really upset. It wasn’t hard for him to figure out that she must have really liked the boy. After all, it had been so many years ago, but she still seemed affected. Although Laurence didn’t love Zoey, he still didn’t like to hear her talk about
Love in the dark Chapter 97
At that moment, Zoey didn’t know what to say.The boy left right after he finished his speech.Zoey was sure that Laurence had forgotten this incident. He would never know that it was her that he had warned once upon a time.Zoey took a deep breath. “I don’t want to talk about this.”“Then we won’t,” Laurence conceded.Zoey reigned in her emotions before she asked, “Do you want to go out? There’s really nothing much to see here.”Laurence had no objections to that. “Sure.”Stork Street was a famous historical street in Southgrove. Almost everyone who lived here was born and bred in Southgrove.The white walls and greyish paths looked like they came right out of a painting.Classes had just ended, so there were a lot of school kids on the street.Laurence took her hand in his. “Did you grow up here?”Zoey thought for a moment. “Pretty much.”“It’s a good place,” Laurence said. “Why did you move to Northwell?”Zoey stared at the sky. “My father brought us there,” she answered softly. “My

Zoey barely reacted to the mention of Sarah. She didn’t really care much about her, but she also didn’t want to see her. “Do you mind going alone, Mr. Scott? I don’t think there’s any point in me going as well.”Laurence tightened his grip on her hand and said firmly, “You’re coming with me. We can have dinner together later.”At this close proximity, Zoey could smell his earthy musk. He never wore cologne. When he spoke, he was calm. There never seemed to be any emotion in his voice.On the way to the airport, Zoey stared out at the darkened sky, head empty without thoughts. Laurence brought her to a restaurant near the airport.The restaurant looked private, specially designed for the higher class.Since Sarah and Shawn were still on the way, Laurence ordered a glass of warm water for her. As she took a sip, Zoey suddenly felt very uncomfortable.She didn’t understand why Laurence insisted on bringing her along to meet with Sarah.She was not even his girlfriend, and Sarah was the
Love in the dark Chapter 99
Sarah had found out about Zoey’s pregnancy by bribing her doctors.After she returned, she was unhappy to find out that Laurence had married Zoey. Of all the people he could marry, it was Zoey that he chose.When Sarah heard that Zoey had taken a leave of absence for six weeks, she knew something was wrong.No normal sickness would take that long to recover.Sarah tried to ask Laurence about Zoey, but he did not tell her anything.That only made her more curious. In the end, she spent a lot of money to find out where she was hospitalized. There wasn’t anything that money couldn’t do. To her surprise, Zoey was pregnant.“So what if you’re legally his wife?” Sarah dried her hands insouciantly. “I hope you don’t end up desolate and unremorseful.”Zoey was shocked that Laurence had told Sarah about this. She felt a chill come over her body as she paled. “Our relationship is none of your business. No matter how it ends, know that I did this willingly, so you don’t have to worry about me, M
