I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 24

The intensity of his gaze sent a chill down Gillian's spine.

She tightened her grip on the handrail, maintaining a casual expression as she asked, "Do you honestly think I would carry your child?"

York narrowed his eyes, the oppressive weight of his presence making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"A friend asked me to grab that appointment slip for her. The info isn't filled out yet. I forgot to give it to her."

She spoke evenly, descending the stairs in the elegant dress.

Gillian had lost a lot of weight recently, so the dress was a bit loose, but it didn't detract from its beauty. Every step she took was graceful. The stunning woman radiated a gentle, breathtaking elegance that made it impossible to look away.

The dress suited her perfectly, complementing her stunning curves.

She walked up to the man and snatched the slip from his hand. "What if it was me who was pregnant?"

She stared at him, refusing to miss a single micro-expression on his face, quietly testing the waters.

If a child was to come into this world, they needed to be welcomed by their father. Otherwise, a life devoid of a father's love was completely unfair to the baby.

York merely scoffed, his voice dripping with icy mockery. "In your dreams."

Gillian watched the look in his eyes grow even colder, like winter frost, tinged with blatant disgust.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, lowering her eyelashes before offering a faint, quiet smile.

It was bitter and incredibly ironic.

Of course. The child in Hailey's belly was a treasure, while a child from an unloved wife like her would never be accepted.

When it was time to get in the car, Gillian moved to open the rear door, having learned her lesson from last time.

"I'm not your chauffeur," York said coldly. "Besides, if Grandmother finds out you're sitting in the back, she'll think we're fighting."

Gillian wasn't one to throw a tantrum over something so trivial, nor did she want to waste her breath arguing. She simply opened the passenger door.

Sitting there, all she could think about was Hailey occupying this exact spot. Being in this seat made her feel dirty and suffocated.
