I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 9

Yet this rare explanation was all for his mistress, acting like a sharp blade repeatedly stabbing into her heart until it bled.

Every other word out of his mouth was about Hailey's pregnancy, how she needed to be treated with care, and how everyone had to accommodate his precious darling. But what about her?

She was pregnant too, yet she deserved to be pushed aside. Today, she truly witnessed what it meant to be endlessly cherished versus what it meant to be discarded like trash.

She forced herself to suppress her trembling, gritting her teeth to hold back the overwhelming surge of grievance and bitterness. The Fosters were the wealthiest family in the city, yet the young madam was being bullied at every turn—it was a laughable tragedy.

But the future head of the Foster family was backing his mistress.

And her? The Jordan family had fallen, her mother was critically ill, and her brother was missing. What right did she have to challenge York?

Gillian forced a smile, her eyes completely devoid of warmth. "Mr. Foster is so generous and considerate of his girlfriend. I have no choice but to oblige."

With that, she turned to head to her office to pack her things.

But Hailey called out to her.

"Dr. Jordan, I'm really so sorry! You absolutely must come to the dinner party tonight! You can order whatever you want, and I'll have York pour you a few extra glasses of wine to thank you for giving me the office!"

On the surface, she acted extremely apologetic for taking the office, but every single word was a blatant assertion of dominance.

Fifteen minutes before the end of the shift, York arrived. He had already arranged the cars, which were waiting in the parking lot, and came up to inform everyone.

Basking in all the attention and love, Hailey couldn't stop smiling.

Gillian had no intention of going; it would only make her feel worse, so she packed her bag to leave.

"Dr. Jordan, why don't you ride in the car with York and me?" Hailey asked with a bright smile, clinging to York's arm.
