I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 119

"We are a legally married couple. Do I really need your permission just to hold your hand in public?" His voice dropped, radiating obvious displeasure. "Don't forget what you agreed to this morning. And remember, you just saw your father."

A suffocating frustration swelled in Gillian's chest, leaving her with no outlet to vent. Ultimately, she had no choice but to let York hold her hand.

Her brow remained furrowed in a deep scowl, but she stopped resisting.

Only then did York's lips curve into a satisfied smirk.

After a long shopping spree, he had purchased a mountain of bags, arranging for the stores to deliver everything straight to the house.

When Gillian returned home, she found the living room practically overflowing with unpacked clothing.

York had bought her an incredible amount of expensive clothes. This was the exact life she had once desperately dreamed of, but now that she had it, she couldn't care less.

She didn't want a single piece. She immediately asked Susan to haul it all upstairs.

"Leave it," York commanded sharply. "Wash everything thoroughly and hang them in my wife's closet."

Gillian looked at him, her brow knit in blatant confusion.

"I changed my mind," he said, meeting Gillian's gaze. "Your taste in fashion is far too different from Hailey's. She probably wouldn't even like the things you picked out. I'll take her shopping myself another day."

The implication was glaringly obvious: her choices weren't good enough for Hailey.

Her hands balled into tight fists. She had spent the entire afternoon catering to him, only to be slapped in the face yet again.

These clothes were essentially Hailey's rejects, carelessly tossed to her like charity.

Gillian didn't say another word.

She just felt overwhelmingly pathetic and ridiculous.

Time and time again, she was crushed by his absolute power, completely helpless to fight back.

She spun on her heel and marched upstairs.
