All Chapters of Love in the dark: Chapter 711 - Chapter 720

Mrs. Scott was stunned. It then occurred to her that she had heard that Zoey had remarried.Her husband was Novarvian. He was good-looking, and his family seemed to be well-off. For some reason, Mrs. Scott could tell that her son was being sarcastic. Laurence must be upset to be speaking that way.Laurence wasn't there to be a driver for his mother. The family chauffeur was behind the wheel. Laurence got a grip on himself and told the chauffeur, "Take my mother home." The chauffeur obeyed Laurence's order without hesitation. He drove the car away.Zoey caught a whiff of the smell of faint tobacco on the man. It wasn't a heavy stench. Still, she turned her face away and tried to keep her distance from him. Laurence ignored her avoidance and asked, "When is your husband coming?" Zoey's mind went blank. She didn't ask Michael to pick her up tonight. Faced with her silence, Laurence said, "Can I get a ride when he arrives?" Zoey couldn't stand the man. "What's wrong with you

Laurence read the room. He knew he was pushing it, so he gave it a rest. After a brief silence, he gave in and said, "It's okay if you don't have any new slippers."Zoey gave him a new pair of slippers. She didn't want to mix them up with other pairs, as everyone in the house had their own. While handing Laurence the slippers, she couldn't hold her tongue. "If you didn't want to wear someone else's slippers, you could have just left." Laurence put on the slippers and replied, "I can put up with it for a while." He was glad he couldn't see many traces of another man's presence in Zoey's home. Teddy sat on the living room sofa, playing a game on his tablet after completing his homework. Unlike other children, Teddy didn’t really like games. Even though a guest was in the apartment, Teddy quickly made himself comfortable. Since Laurence was an enemy, Teddy eyed him warily. As Laurence used Teddy as an excuse to get close to Zoey, he had to keep up the act. It was difficult for Laur

Doubt was a powerful thing. It could easily ruin a marriage. Even the strongest relationships could become fragile with a little suspicion.Before leaving, Laurence had to upset Zoey one more time. "I guess he's not coming home tonight." Zoey did not comment. She slammed the door with a bang. …The next day was a weekday. Zoey arrived at the office half an hour late. The camera and lighting set up in the workspace were not unfamiliar to her.Not long after she entered her office, Zoey received an email about her suspension. The email stated that she had been reported for taking bribes. She would be reinstated to her position once she had been cleared of the charges following an investigation.Zoey glared at the email angrily. She was infuriated by the false claims. The workplace was cutthroat. The higher she climbed the corporate ladder, the tougher the competition became. She had been reported before. Although it was a hassle, the problem was solved very quickly. Zoey sat in

Zoey wasn't surprised to see Laurence there. She had been on edge since her arrival, and she now felt relieved. Perhaps it had happened too many times, so the annoyance had become normal. Even the annoyance was tiring.Zoey stared at him without saying a word. Laurence broke the silence. "Are you having dinner?" Instead of looking out of place, he carried himself with ease. "Fancy running into you here. Let me buy you dinner." The wind was chilly. Zoey wanted to smirk at his lies, but she couldn't even smile. After everything she had been through, she sounded drained. "Don't you feel bad saying things like that?"As the breeze fluttered the man's loose t-shirt, he slipped his hands into his pockets and stood casually. He paused, then asked flatly, "Do you think I can deceive you with my lies?"Before Zoey could say anything, Laurence nodded and admitted he had lied. He was honest for once. "Yeah, I followed you here." His claim that the encounter was a coincidence was hard t

Laurence grabbed a clean towel from the bathroom. He wet the towel to wipe Zoey's face. Zoey wasn't asleep yet. She was still mumbling incoherently. She suddenly opened her eyes and fixed them on the man.Laurence held his breath, and his heart skipped a beat when she looked at him. He quickly composed himself and said in a raspy voice, "What's the matter?"He wondered why she looked at him that way. Zoey reached out to touch his face. He froze as she ran her hand along his face. Her palm was warm, and her fingers were soft. She was silent, and he was quiet. Time passed. Zoey blinked. She felt like she was in a dream. Everything was blurry, and she was caught between memory and reality. She saw the young man she once loved looking into her eyes. He told her that he loved her. She felt like the world around her wasn’t real, and she couldn’t tell the difference between her dreams and reality. Zoey looked at Laurence. "Do you love me?" She had no idea who she was asking because i
