Chapter 180

A few days later, in the evening. That

sana was alone in her room wben a message pinged in hose university group chat.

[Ellie, it’s Valentine’s Day today. Any fun plans with your hubby?]

Eliana typed back: [Nah, he’s stuck working late at the office.]

Ugh, same here. Wanna hang out tonight?)

Eliana checked the time–only 8 PM. Still early, and she had nothing else going on, so the replied: (Send me the address.]

[NeoPlaza KTV]

When Eliana finished getting ready and opened her door, Jayden was pacing outside.

“Jayden, what are you doing here?” she asked,

He stopped and looked up. “Where are you heading all dressed up?”

Dressed up? She thought she looked normal.

Jayden, though, had on a tiny blazer and his hair combed neatly like a little grown–up.

“Meeting friends for KTV. What about you?”

Eliana said.

“KTV? That sounds boring, Jayden mumbled.

Eliana leaned in. “What was that?”

“Nothing Can I come with you?” Jayden’s eyes went wide with hope.

He’d always been cute, but his old attitude scared other kids. Now acting sweet, those Russell good looks really showed.

“Nope,” Eliana said, immune to his puppy eyes. “Your mom would say I’m a bad influence.”

“I promise I’ll be good. No shenanigans.” It was Valentine’s Day, and with Theodore gone, Jayden wanted Eliana to himself.

Seeing how eager he was, Eliana hesitated. He had been better lately.

But then she remembered his 37/100 math score and shook her head. “Here’s a deal–when you pass math, take you out for a whole day.”

Jayden’s shoulders dropped. “Okay, fine,” he said glumly

His quietness actually made Eliana feel bad. She pinky–swore she’d keep her promise before heading out.

But instead of going back to study like he’d said, Jayden sneaked to the foyer to put on his shoes as soon as she left.

Amaid hurried over. “Mr. Russell, where are you off to?”

Jayden turned, barking an order. “Shhl Stand guard outside my room. If Mom asks, say I’m asleep. Don’t let her in. Got that?”

“But Mr. Russell, if Mrs. Russell finds out, I’m toast!” The maid fretted.

“Then you’ll be toast right now if you don’t do it,” Jayden growled. “Go!”

The maid gulped. “Yes, sir.”

den fixed his bow tie, shoved his feet in leather shoes smaller than adult ones,

Meanwhile at Russell Group. In the Boardroom, Stanley checked his watch and whispered, “Mr. Russell, aren’t you heading home?“:

Theodore owned. “Can’t you see everyone still has imports?”

Stanley hesitated but said, “But it’s Valentine’s Day.”

Theodore went rigid. Two years of living in darkness had erased holidays from his mind.

Imagining Eliana alone at home waiting for him made his chest tighten, He stood up without thinking

Executives looked up with sour faces

They thought, ‘He’s doing this on purpose ruining our Valentine’s plans with this meeting”

Stanley bit back a laugh. One minute Theodore was all about work, and now he’s bailing, he thought.

“Shall we continue, Mr. Russell?” Stanley asked.

Catching Stanley’s grin. Theodore shot him a look before telling the room, “Meeting adjourned. Resume tomorrow morning.”

Half an hour later, Theodore raced back to Russell Manor shouting, “Elianal

But she was nowhere to be found.

On the first floor, he demanded, “Where’s Eliana?”

The maid answered honestly, “Mr. Russell, Mrs. Russell went out 40 minutes ago!

Theodore pressed his lips together. “Did she say anything before leaving? Did she seem upset?”

“Not at all. She lo

looked really happy,” the maid said.

That just pissed him off.

*Wait, could that ditz have gone to Russell Group to surprise me?” he wondered.

Worried by the thought, Theodore called the office and ordered hundreds of security guards to comb the building. Turns out, he was way off.

Now he was furing

When Theodore looked at his phone, which hadn’t

‘t gotten a single call or text from Elians all day, his face turned stormy.
