All Chapters of Love in the dark: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

“I’m sorry for disappointing you. I’m a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and I don’t know how to empathize with others,” Laurence announced with an aloof tone before Zoey could reply. Zoey could only cry in her heart. Her eyes were no longer watery when she asked, “Would you still treat me like this if I was the one who saved you back then?” She used the word “if”. It was a supposition.Laurence hated two kinds of situations. Firstly, he hated regretting his decisions and actions. Secondly, he hated talking about “what-ifs”. In his opinion, talking about things that had never happened was useless. Laurence was standing against the light in the living room. His expression was hard to read as his exquisite features were shrouded in the shadows. “I don’t like talking about what-ifs,” he said. Looking at Zoey’s pale face, Laurence seemed to recall a scene that was similar to the current situation they were in. He stayed silent momentarily before insisting coldly, “What are you getting a

Zoey no longer wanted Laurence to love her. She knew that it was unrealistic. She didn’t even know what he meant when he talked about loving her. He had said that he liked her, but he treated her like he would anyone else. Just the little affection he had for her had almost ruined her life. She could not bear to be loved by him. Love was a precious thing, after all.Laurence froze when he heard Zoey’s words. He swallowed with difficulty and insisted hoarsely, “Then, get ready to move back in. Do you need me to explain things to your mother?” Zoey’s fingers were pale from gripping her phone hard. “No,” she replied curtly. There was no need for any courtesies between them anymore.Laurence had gotten what he wanted, but he felt terrible. “Let me know once you’ve packed your things. I’ll ask the driver to pick you up.” “Okay, Mr. Scott,” Zoey responded. “Since he wants things to be the same as before, I’ll give him that. I’ll treat him as a client and nothing more,” she thought. Laure

The room was quiet and warm as sunlight shone through the window.Laurence stood up slowly as he kept his eyes on Zoey. His watery eyes soon returned to normal, but his expression was unreadable.Zoey was still fast asleep. Laurence's soft kiss on her ear had not woken her up. She slept soundly, as if she was having a good dream.Laurence stared at the hearing aid for a long time. It was an in-ear hearing aid that had to be worn for extended periods to be effective. Yet, it was uncomfortable to wear for a long time.Meanwhile, Zoey was dreaming. It was a confusing dream. First, she dreamt of her happy childhood. Then, she watched herself go through her painful youth. After that, she watched herself willingly enter into her loveless marriage with Laurence. There was only lust and no love in their relationship.Zoey woke up all of a sudden, startled by her dream. She felt dizzy, and her arm was numb as she had been resting her head on it.A gentle breeze blew from the balcony windows as

Zoey's alcohol tolerance had improved since she started working with Laurence. There would surely be drinking involved at social events, and she had had too much to drink. When she could no longer suppress the feeling of being sick, she excused herself to the washroom and sprawled over the toilet bowl to make herself vomit. She knew the common ways to do it. The feeling of retching and her stomach turning upside down was extremely unpleasant. Sometimes, when she got drunk, she felt fine after bawling her eyes out in the washroom. Then, she would freshen her makeup in front of the mirror and walk out as if nothing had happened. Laurence didn’t care if she was drunk. He only cared about work matters. A dispensable secretary like her held no weight in his eyes. However, he had indeed taught her a lot in some ways. At least she had gotten to experience things that she couldn't have imagined in the past. Besides the gossip in the circle of the wealthy, the treacherous scheming of the bu

Sarah's mind whirled as she wondered what she would say if Laurence asked her more questions. She couldn't give him answers that were too detailed but also not too simple. He wasn't a person who could be brushed off easily. Any loopholes would definitely raise his suspicions.Sarah's smile was stiff, but if it weren't for her skills in lying, her knees would have buckled earlier. However, it didn't matter even if he did find out about her relationship with Zoey. Zoey had always stayed in Southgrove, and nobody knew that she had stayed there for a few months before transferring to Northwell for her studies. "Are you here for a social meeting tonight?", Sarah asked."No." Laurence hadn't been to social meetings in a long time and no longer needed to. He had inexplicably come to this restaurant only because he discovered Zoey was having dinner here. That client of hers was quite a gentleman. He didn't drink or pester her. Tristan stood behind them and looked at the pair of ex-love
