Love in the dark Chapter 21
It wasn’t that tears were useless against Laurence. It was because they were from Zoey. Zoey thought that she had made her heart impenetrable by now, but she could still feel the sting. The pain wasn’t sharp. Instead, it was a gradual pain that spread everywhere, packing a bigger punch as time went on.Soon, the pain was too much, and she began swaying on her feet. Zoey took a deep breath to regain control over her emotions. Wordlessly, she shut the door and returned to the secretarial quarters.She placed the pending documents on her desk and told the newly hired assistant, “Please send these to Mr. Scott. We’ll need to use them tomorrow.”The young assistant was terrified of Laurence. Usually, during meetings, she made sure to tuck herself into the back and barely peeked at Laurence. From what her colleagues told her, Mr. Scott had a terrifying aura. Even without being angry, he was still terrifying and there was an edge to his smile. “Miss Jenner, I’m scared.”The assistant usually

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

Zoey was numb. Fortunately, the room was too dim for others to see her expression. Her body was shaking against her will. Although she was trying her best to pretend that she was fine, she was digging her thumb into Laurence’s hand, pleading for help. Didn’t Laurence care at all?Zoey suddenly felt cold all over, the bone-piercing chill making her teeth chatter. Everyone else remained silent. But who could guess what was going through Laurence’s mind? That was half true. Laurence’s eyes were dark and indecipherable as he smiled secretively. He ignored Zoey’s grip on his hand and glanced at her."Why are you still sticking to me? Don’t any of them catch your eye?"Zoey managed to force out an answer."No."Her face was turned downward, her tresses blocking her expression. Tristan studied her for a few moments. He couldn’t deny that she was a beautiful lady with attractive eyes that tempted men. Although he found her current situation quite pitiful, he was still a cruel man. He even plan

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

Tristan felt stupid after saying that. Nonetheless, Laurence's reaction was surprisingly calm.Laurence met his gaze and remarked easily, "You have good taste."Zoey was a natural beauty and had a decent figure. In addition to her looks, she was educated, good-natured, and gentle. She had many talents, including being an excellent cook. It was normal for men to fall for Zoey.Unbothered, Laurence said, "I'll get the driver to send her home." Tristan sighed silently. Laurence was cold-hearted after all. Back in school, Laurence was the epitome of heartlessness. While numerous jealous girls would fight over him, the man wasn't even interested in reading their love letters, much less have compassion toward them. Only those he cared about could get some of his warmth.Tristan asked casually, "Why on earth did you two get married? You don't even like her.""Marriage doesn't require love."To people like them, love was a luxury they couldn't afford. No feelings meant less trouble.Stunned,

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

Mrs. Scott slammed the table angrily and then flung the front page of the day's newspaper at him."See for yourself what the media has reported."The newspaper hit Laurence square in the face. There was a photo of him and Sarah printed on the front page."This is a pretty good shot," he said with a scoff.The paparazzi's photography skills seemed to have improved. As the corporate group leader of the Scott family, getting involved with the Jenner family's daughter would easily instigate scandalous speculations. After all, women constantly sought opportunities to get in Laurence's pants, and the number of times he changed partners was immeasurable.So far, Jessica hadn't been replaced yet. Both he and Sarah belonged in the ruling class, and the outcome between them was uncertain. Laurence's off-handed remark made Mrs. Scott's blood boil."You are a married man. Do I still need to teach you about boundaries?"Needless to say, she despised Sarah. The mere thought of the girl irked Mrs. Sc

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
