I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 59

Her earlobes were incredibly sensitive. The pinch sent a jolt of electricity straight through her. Memories of those countless passionate nights, that familiar tension, and her body's immediate reaction flooded her senses.

He knew all her sensitive spots, knew her softness. With just a slight, teasing touch, he could easily make her melt against him.

Gillian took a deep breath and swatted his hand away. "Go ask your precious girlfriend to call you that."

"Aren't you my wife?"

In the mirror, the man's gaze locked onto hers. The emotion in his eyes was so deep and intense that it was impossible to read, yet completely intoxicating.

Whenever lust stirred in him, his eyes became a bottomless whirlpool of devotion, making it seem as if he loved her desperately.

For years, Gillian had deceived herself night after night in that very gaze, convincing herself that such intense eyes must mean he loved her.

But now, she was wide awake. His gaze wasn't love. What he was drowning in wasn't her, but his own physical desire.

"Do I need to remind you? We're getting a divorce, Mr. Foster."

Her expression remained cool and indifferent. Picking up the scissors from the vanity, she unhesitatingly snipped off the lock of hair tangled in the necklace. Looking up at the man, she offered a dismissive smile. "There. I don't need you anymore."

-

The day of the Sterling patriarch's birthday banquet.

Gillian didn't wear a single piece of jewelry, donning only a stunning white mermaid gown.

She initially hadn't wanted to wear anything form-fitting, but since she wasn't showing yet, as long as it wasn't overly tight, it wouldn't be an issue.

Miles accompanied Gillian to the event. The upper echelon of society was a small circle, and the guest list was highly predictable. Gillian didn't mind catching a ride with him.

"I don't have a date for tonight. I was wondering if you..."

"Sure," Gillian agreed instantly. "You've helped me so many times. I'd love to be your date."

The gentleman offered a warm smile, and Gillian linked her arm through his.

Walking through the main doors, they immediately bumped into York and Hailey, who had already arrived.
