I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 137

She wasn't about to believe a word of it. If her baby hadn't been lost...

If she actually listened to him, quit her job, and went home to peacefully carry the pregnancy, the second the child was born, she—the useless tool—would be the first one kicked out the door.

Inside the fitting room, York began unbuttoning Gillian's clothes.

Gillian tried to stop him. "I can do it myself. Just go out and wait."

"Not feeling tired anymore? Done throwing a tantrum?" York looked at her, his voice low and smooth. "Or is it that after years of marriage, you're suddenly shy about me undressing you?"

The man's deep, magnetic voice carried a heavy undercurrent of lust. The hot breath brushing against her skin sent a tingling wave through her.

Gillian's body trembled slightly. "The fitting room is too cramped, and if you stay in here, people outside will talk. I'll change myself."

"I'm changing my wife's clothes. Why should I care what anyone says?" he fired back.

Gillian frowned, her heart doing a nervous flip.

In the past, she had always been the one afraid to claim her status.

But lately, he seemed deliberate in parading her out in public, forcing her identity into the spotlight. This wasn't what she wanted right now...

York was doing all of this solely to pave the way for his future child. By making her public, when they eventually divorced, the child would be considered born in wedlock—a perfectly legitimate heir.

On top of that, he had perfectly timed Hailey's departure, sending her abroad to 'train' and 'build her skills.'

It was a calculated move to keep Hailey ignorant of the domestic drama unfolding between them.

When the dust settled, he would joyfully bring Hailey back. Everyone would get their happy ending—except for Gillian, the discarded pawn.

Her heart twisted in a tight knot.

She had to admit, York's scheming and calculations were flawless.
