I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 65

“He is completely out of line. Having a mistress is bad enough, but he can't even bother to put on a respectable front for the holidays,” Evelyn complained.

Gillian offered a polite smile. “He had some business to handle at the company. I decided to come ahead.”

The estate was packed with relatives. Almost everyone from the Foster family residing in the city had returned for the gala.

The Junior Branch had just welcomed a new addition.

Beatrice Foster and her husband were absolutely enamored, coddling the infant girl with bright, toothy grins.

“Gillian, you're here!” Beatrice called out warmly. “Come hold your new niece.”

It was the daughter of Felix's older brother.

Before Gillian could even process the request, Beatrice gently placed the infant into her arms.

She immediately adjusted her hold. As an obstetrician, her posture was professional and soothing. Within seconds, the fussy baby broke into a bright, gummy smile.

The innocent smile melted Gillian's heart as the baby reached out a soft little hand to bat at her fingers.

Her own baby would be just this adorable, wouldn't they?

“Gillian, you and York have been married for five years now. Why haven't we heard any good news? Look at the others, they're already on their second,” Beatrice nagged gently. “Have you two gotten checked? Is there a fertility issue on either side?”

Gillian froze, the words knocking the wind out of her.

“Grandma, are you trying to imply that I'm the one firing blanks?”

York strode into the room, a rare, relaxed smile playing on his lips.

“Gillian is a top-tier obstetrician. She knows her own body perfectly. If outsiders heard you, they'd definitely assume I'm the problem.”

He was dressed in a sharp black leather jacket over a crisp white t-shirt, paired with tailored black trousers. He looked incredibly tall, exuding an effortless, rugged charm.

His lazy, aristocratic smile felt like a punch to Gillian's gut.
