Love in the dark Chapter 64
Robert didn’t care at all about his daughter’s happiness. Zoey still hadn’t mentioned her marriage to Laurence because she knew that Robert would keep hounding her for money. The Zuckman family was like an abyss that swallowed everyone. Shawn’s ability to secure his position and root out the rats so quickly proved that he was no regular man. He was certainly cruel. Shawn had found Zoey’s weak point.“Zoey sure did leave an impression on me.”Zoey knew what Shawn was referring to: it was that love letter, the proof of a teenage Zoey’s feelings. Proof that should never see the light of day. She couldn’t let Laurence know that she had once had such a huge crush on him, or she would be done for. Laurence would not want someone who had feelings for him. Things would get complicated once feelings were involved. Feelings would make someone foolish, as Laurence had once said.Zoey had no idea if Shawn was threatening her. She was still irritated that she still couldn’t understand how Shawn had

Zoey’s body stiffened. She hadn’t thought that Shawn would remember that. There would always be times when one would find themselves at an impasse. If she hadn’t been so desperate for money and had another way to make a living, she wouldn’t have gone to work at Nightbloom. Laurence didn’t care. He could guess why Zoey worked at the nightclub: her mother’s medical fees couldn’t be shouldered by a young student.Laurence had never once heard Zoey bring up her father. Maybe her father had already passed away, if it wasn’t because of some other reason that was difficult for Zoey to explain. Seeing how Laurence seemed unperturbed by this revelation, Shawn lost interest. That was right—Laurence probably didn’t care because he didn’t have feelings for Zoey.Shawn’s head began to ache again. In truth, he had been weathering the pain for a while now. Every time he saw Zoey, the pain would shoot through his temples, crippling him. And yet, he didn’t want to turn his gaze away from her. Shawn had
Love in the dark Chapter 66
It was only natural for Zoey to feel out of her element when she bumbled her way into becoming a worker at a nightclub. She had been desperate for money then, so whenever a customer wanted her to drink with them, she did so. She would keep going even if she threw up from the sheer amount of alcohol as it would get the customers to buy drinks from her. Whatever obstacles were thrown her way, she gritted her teeth and put up with them.Zoey had always felt that she had terrible luck, especially when she ran into Shawn at Nightbloom. She had been rather debauched that night, her skirt stained with wine and hair hanging messily over her shoulder. Other than lipstick, she didn’t have any other makeup on.Zoey had just finished puking her guts out at the washroom then. Her face was pale from her ordeal, so she quietly covered her cheeks with some blush. Her gait was shaky when she left, and that was how she accidentally bumped into someone. The man had two rows of bodyguards lined up behind
Love in the dark Chapter 67
“Oh, that’s right. I completely forgot about that,” Zoey whispered.Getting that medical checkup had been a beneficial thing for them both. Zoey felt embarrassed. All that worry about her past and Nightbloom, and Laurence didn’t care. She didn’t say anything after that. Laurence seemed to have become tired as well, for he was quiet as well.The silence in the car was terrifying. Zoey was exhausted, so she peeled off her high heels without any regard for Laurence next to her, laying her bare feet on the mat. She lazily stared out of the window before closing her eyes and drifting off. They soon arrived back at the house. Laurence didn’t wake Zoey, instead quietly spending a few minutes with her. Then, he turned to look at her, his gaze boring into her face. Laurence had squashed down his anger earlier, even if he didn’t know where this anger came from. He didn’t like how familiar Shawn had been with Zoey, as though he knew every bit of her past. High school classmates, huh?If Laurence

Zoey had forgotten that they didn’t use protection. She never seemed to be able to remember that. She was quiet for a moment before she lifted her head to look at him.“You don’t need to feed me. I can do it myself.”The look in Laurence’s eyes was indiscernible.A moment later, he gripped her jaw, his voice chilly as he said, “Open your mouth.”Zoey wanted to laugh. He had never fed her before, but now, Laurence was insisting on feeding that morning-after pill to her. He was probably worried that there would be a repeat of the past, so he wanted to see her take the pill with his own eyes. At the end of the day, Laurence didn’t trust her.Zoey turned her head away. Now that she had twisted free from his grip, Laurence wordlessly pressed his lips together. They ended up in a silent standoff. Zoey didn’t look at him as her fingers dug into the covers below her. Her lips were pale.“I’ll take it later.”Laurence stared at her quietly, his gaze as inscrutable as ever. His gaze felt oppress
Love in the dark Chapter 69
Zoey wasn’t sure either; she had never taken a morning-after pill before. Her face and neck itched, and she couldn’t stop herself from reaching up to scratch them. Laurence grabbed her hand and held it in a firm grip.“Don’t scratch. You’ll break the skin.”Zoey felt uncomfortable as she frowned.“But it itches.”Laurence carried her downstairs, one hand gripping her wrists tightly to stop her from scratching.“You have to put up with it no matter how badly it itches.”There was allergy medication inside the first aid kit in the living room. After Laurence placed Zoey down on the couch, she instinctively reached up to scratch her face now that she had regained her freedom. Laurence was once again forced to stop her, pinning her arms behind her. He then pulled his necktie off to tie her hands. As he looked for the first aid kit, he gave her a warning.“Stay.”Zoey wondered if Laurence had learned how to tie up others from a professional. The bonds on her hands were tight. Struggling to

She quietly watched his eyes and movements as she asked, “Mr. Scott, have you ever had feelings for Yvette?”That woman had been willing to die for him not long ago.Laurence answered coldly, “No.”It was a clear and straightforward answer that left no room for doubt, but Zoey could not make sense of it. How was it possible? She witnessed it herself. Yvette’s arms were hooked around his neck. It was undeniable that they were young and in love, like in the movies. Laurence lifted her chin with a faint smile. It did not seem like nothing.Zoey did not ask further. He had already answered her questions long before. Laurence had only truly loved Sarah in his lifetime. It was a tranquil night, so she was probably just too bored.Zoey continued to ask casually, “If we did not have an agreement, would you like someone like me?”Laurence lifted his dark eyes and bored deep into hers. His gaze was profound, and he looked as though he could read her every thought. Zoey managed to hide her love f
Love in the dark Chapter 71
Robert had long wanted to gain connections with the Scott family. It was not an overstatement to say he would do anything for power. However, Zoey was very curious about how Sarah and Laurence would get married. Laurence had not planned on getting a divorce anytime soon when she raised the issue in the past.Robert had used all his might to slap her, leaving a numbing sensation on her face. When she was younger, she was used to enduring his violence, but now she no longer had to. He had never paid for the medical fees, so she no longer had to fear him.Zoey smirked.“Isn’t Laurence deeply in love with Sarah? If that’s the case, nothing I do will change a thing.”Robert’s face darkened at her words. He thought the same at first. He assumed Laurence and Sarah would have a smooth marriage after she recovered and returned home. However, so much time had passed, yet Laurence had not indicated that he intended to marry Sarah. He had never even visited the Jenner family more than twice.After
