Zoey immediately flushed red. She had only ever called him that in her mind. Besides Laurence’s parents, she never had the chance to call him “darling” in front of other people. Even during the throes of passion, she still dared to only address him as Mr. Scott… to ask him to be gentler. Zoey had suffered from his excitement before since he did it very roughly.He was a controlling man, even wanting to dominate her emotions. After all this time, Zoey slowly realized that Laurence preferred it when she went silent from pain. It appeared that Laurence had a weird kink. Zoey calmed herself before answering.“Alright.”She hung up, got off work early, and headed home. With people constantly sending over the latest looks of the season, her wardrobe was full of expensive dresses. She barely touched them, especially since she never wore them to work. Zoey picked out two red dresses but changed her mind after eyeing the glaring color. Eventually, she pulled out a pink, velvet dress with a cinc

Evelyn's face fell at his words. The model restrained herself only because this was Mr. Gray. Otherwise, she would've slapped him. Evelyn couldn't give up on a loaded man like Mr. Gray. Although he had a terrible temper, he was young, handsome, and generous."What are you talking about? Of course they are real."Tristan was unamused."Like hell I would believe that." Then, he caressed her face and asked, "How much did you spend on your entire body?"Whenever Tristan acted like a refined gentleman, anyone would think he was a saint. Conversely, he would give one hell once his mask was removed. Evelyn's face flushed in mortification, her eyes watering from the insult. Impatient, Tristan's smile faded, and his expression became indifferent."Whatever. Get out."Evelyn looked like a kicked puppy. She grabbed her handbag and left quickly, not daring to stand up against Mr. Gray. After she was gone, Tristan subconsciously glanced toward the sofa. Zoey had fallen asleep with her head on Laure

Zoey couldn't take jokes; she preferred to be serious about certain matters. Her pride was at stake, and she wanted to save it in front of Laurence. "I didn't seduce anyone."Her words were uttered solemnly. Laurence raised his eyebrow. He pressed his fingertips against her tender skin, leaving red marks with little effort.He said lightly, "Tristan told me he likes you."Zoey tried to find any signs of displeasure or concern on his face. Sadly, there was none. Laurence couldn't care less.Lowering her head, Zoey muttered, "I don't really know him." Then, she continued while suppressing her unease. "Besides, Mr. Gray has many intimate relationships. He must have his eyes on countless others."Laurence's thumb remained on her chin while his eyes bore into hers. There was an incomprehensible look in them."Not necessarily."Zoey stopped talking. The model Tristan had brought with him was a different woman from the one she saw with him at the banquet last time. Clearly, he was a fickle m

Zoey wasn't as shameless as Laurence. She stood still and refused to leave with him. Laurence smiled at her."You don't want to?"He seemed to be in a good mood that day, and his expression relaxed as he said, "Zoey, we have to do it even if you don't want to."Zoey started to feel annoyed. She knew that he was only joking with her, never considering her seriously. In the master bedroom upstairs, a double king-sized bed lay in the middle, with enough space to fit four people. Before Zoey could return to her senses, she was pushed onto the bed. Remembering the doctor's instructions, she clutched her belly."Mr. Scott, what are you doing?" "You," Laurence kissed her ear and whispered vulgarly. The next second, Zoey's hands were forced to rest on his waist. The obvious bulge in his pants and the straining belt buckle caught her attention, and she quickly pulled her hands back."It's not even dark outside."Laurence held down her palms."Who says we can't do it during the day?"Zoey's c

Zoey's listless voice tugged at Arielle's heart."Zoey, I'm coming to the hospital to get you. I'll treat you to a meal. You should stop thinking about unhappy stuff for a while."Zoey complied obediently."Okay."After ending the phone call, she remained in the car seat, dazed. She could already imagine the outcome once she broke the news to Laurence. The man had no desire for marriage as he didn't think it was anything special. During the previous new year, the Scott family had invited many guests. At that time, Laurence's cousin had just given birth to an adorable daughter. The baby was beautiful, with round cheeks, fair skin, and big round eyes. The family's elders couldn't stop holding her in their arms. As for Laurence, he'd only entertained his niece for a short while during his spare time. Obviously, he had no interest in the child. That very night, Zoey had gotten into bed after showering, and she felt that the room was too quiet. Therefore, she could only start a conversatio
