All Chapters of Love in the dark: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Sarah was filled with rage as Zoey’s comment struck a nerve. Her father was involved in a murder case, and the media made a big fuss about whether Sarah would try to cut ties with him. Although her friends said nothing, they seemed to steer clear of her. Sarah could not be as ruthless as her mother. If she were in her mother’s shoes, Sarah could not ditch her husband in a moment of need, especially when he had been arrested and charged with murder. She had always been Dad’s favorite. At least, she had always been the apple of Dad’s eye before the bitch’s son had come along. Sarah had been conflicted since her father’s arrest. They had been father and daughter for many years, and she could get upset and cry at the possibility her dad might get the death penalty. Still, when her newborn brother came to mind, she resented him. It wasn’t like her father’s case didn’t impact her life. Why did her father leave something that traced back to him? “My mom and I have no idea what my

"I wasn't the one who said that! Why are you getting angry?""I'm not.""I'm starting to find you're very stubborn, Laurence." Zoey felt like her wrist was just short of being snapped from the sheer force of his grip, but still, he denied he was angry. Laurence lifted his brows and said, "I just find them ridiculous, the bunch of rascals."Forcing his words through clenched teeth, he continued, "Very popular among the boys, aren't we? If I hadn't come over, would you have exchanged contacts with him?""So what if we had exchanged numbers?""Please remember that you have a husband! You're not allowed to just give your number out to random strangers!" Laurence exclaimed exasperatedly, anger palpable in his tightly furrowed brows.He suddenly recalled the first boy Zoey had dated. Hadn't he been a dopey college student too? All college boys seemed like dimwits to him. A frosty countenance came over Laurence as cold air emanated off of him. His grip on Zoey's wrist was still strong. Any

Shawn was in no hurry to sign the agreement. Somehow, the calm and collected man didn't seem so calm and collected in Zoey's presence. No matter how hard it was for him to face her, the time had come for him to do so, and there was no escaping that. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her; he hadn’t had the courage to do so. He swallowed dryly and spoke, carrying a cautious undertone in his words, "Have you had breakfast?"Zoey's brows knitted up. She looked up at Shawn's pale face and felt like she had imagined the cautiousness in his voice. She snapped out of it and said, "I didn't know that Porters belonged to you. Can we please sign the agreement that was agreed upon prior? I wish to keep things professional." All she wanted was to get things done and leave there as soon as possible. Porters was a small company, and Shawn usually did not bother himself with its affairs. The most he did was glance through the annual report. If he hadn’t known Zoey would show up that day, he would

Zoey began to doubt her ears. Feeling a lump in her chest, she struggled to contain her emotions and refrained from confronting the man before her. She found his words baffling and confusing. She simply didn't understand.What was Laurence up to? He always had motives behind everything he did, either for personal gain or emotional needs. He wouldn't casually mention wanting a child without a purpose.However, she no longer cared. She found it absurd and even slightly amusing.She remembered the time when Laurence sat before her, his face cold and his tone detached as he carefully explained the terrifying consequences of bringing a child into a loveless marriage based solely on physical desire. He had said those words himself. How could he have forgotten them so easily?"I've already said I don't want to." Zoey managed to hold back her temper. She couldn't understand why she felt so irritated. It was as if Laurence was adding fuel to the fire with his offer.Laurence was expecting

"They don't taste good. Stop feeding me. I don't want them anymore." Laurence ended his call and turned to Zoey's puckered-up face, earnestly telling him her discomfort. He raised a brow, not quite buying it. "Is it tart?" He bit a grape and tasted it for himself. "Tastes sweet to me."Zoey wanted to roll her eyes at him. She looked like she didn’t want to be seated so close to him. "Have you lost your taste buds?" she chided.Zoey attempted to escape from her seat beside Laurence, but he quickly pulled her back, causing her to fall back into the seat beside him. As she sulked, he whispered in her ear, "It's because you've been consuming too much sugary food."Laurence thought of the cloyingly sweet candies she used to enjoy. He couldn't stand them, but she happily devoured them at every chance."That's true. Everyone prefers different tastes. Let's not carry on with this topic.""Are you still having the grapes?""No." Zoey felt antsy when seated next to Laurence, but he had
