Love in the dark Chapter 94
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
Love in the dark Chapter 96
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
Love in the dark Chapter 100
It was like Shawn had forgotten what had happened at Stork Street.He treated Zoey like an enemy and looked at her like she was trash.Zoey wasn’t so much unhappy as she was disappointed that his childhood memories were different from how she remembered them.She guessed that was the consequence of having an insane person as a friend.Shawn seemed unwell too. He coughed slightly, his face pale. He only seemed to feel better when Sarah returned from the bathroom. “Why were you so long? Did someone bully you?” he asked pointedly.Sarah pretended to hesitate for a moment before she answered, “No, nothing of the sort.”Zoey did not say another word for the rest of the meal.She had never been a part of their world from the very beginning, even though she was now Laurence’s wife. Sarah wasn’t wrong. To Laurence, she was nothing but a tool.Obedient, poor, and easy to control.He could leave her anytime he wanted.Even after she had drunk a lot of warm water, Zoey’s cramps did not get bette
Love in the dark Chapter 101
What mattered most to Zoey was that Laurence had told Sarah the thing that hurt her the most.He really did not care about what she thought at all.But Zoey couldn’t express any of these emotions. She gritted her teeth and kept her silence.As the smoke filled the car, all Zoey could smell was the bitterness of the secondhand smoke.Laurence reached out and pulled her face toward himself. At her pale face and reddened eyes, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said instead, “Do you really hate Sarah that much?”“Hate is a strong word.” Zoey refused to waste her energy on inconsequential people. “I don’t want to see her, though,” she spoke truthfully. “And I don’t think Sarah wants to see me all that much either. You should know that.”Zoey was getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Her chin hurt where his slender hand held her. “Can you let go of me?” she asked with feigned calmness.Laurence did not let go of her. Instead, his grip tightened as he leaned in closer
