Married To The Blind Heir (by Tessa Galvin) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182

She had told Luke to leave first, but in Theodore’s eyes, it looked Blos she was stằng with him.

The waith In Eliana’s gaze quietly faded.

She had already made her position clear to Luke, yet Theodore still didn’t believe her. And the truth was, the hadn’t changed a single word back in the private room.

“Why can’t you trust me the way I trust you?” she asked quietly. Then, brushing off his hand, the burned and walked toward her car with evident disappointment.

“Wait up!” Jayden called out, chasing after her. Gripping her car door, he looked at her with exaggerated pitiful eyes. “Eliana, can i Fitch a ride with you?”

She hesitated as leaving a kid out here didn’t sit right with her, “Alright,” she said at last. “Get in

Jayden lit up and reached for the door,

But before he could open it. Theodore approached, jaw tight, voice clipped. “You’re seriously going to drive this brat home in the carl

She knew he and Jayden had never gotten along

She stilled for a moment, her hand resting on the steering wheel. Then, slowly, her fingers relaxed. A bitter smile touched her lips. “I forgot,” she said with quiet irony “You bought this car for me.“”

That had been her hesitation from the start. Accepting his gifts always came with strings attached.

Her coworkers used to tell her there was no need to draw lines between husband and wife. But reality had just delivered a harsh rebuttal

Without another word, she pulled the key from the ignition, stepped out, and walked over to him. “Here. Take it back.”

Theodore’s expression turned cold. That

it wasn’t what he meant. He just couldn’t stand seeing her so close to Jayden.

When he made no move to take

the k

key, she shoved it into the pocket of his coat and turned to Jayden. “Let’s take a cab. Okay?”

“Sure,” Jayden said without hesitation. Honestly, he didn’t care if he had to walk as long as he was with her.

Eliana gave a faint nod and was just about to walk away when Theodore reached out and grabbed her wrist.

She frowned, turning back. “Really? You want to cause a scene right here in the street?”

“Yeah, let go of her! You’re hurting her,” Jayden chimed in. “Her wrist’s turning red!” He stepped forward to pry Theodore’s hand away, but Theodore swung his arm, flinging the boy aside.

“Ow!” Jayden hit the ground hard, the back of his head knocking against a tree trunk. The pain made his eyes water.

Eliana turned to Theodore with an icy glare. “Do you really need to take it out on a kid?”

Theodore looked down at his hand, startled. That hadn’t been his intention. He had simply lost control the moment he saw her walking away

People nearby, unaware of what had just happened, began to whisper and frown. To them, it looked like he had just manhandled a woman and struck a child

Elkana helped Jayden up and checked the back of his head. There was no blood. “Come on,” she said softly “Let’s go.”

Before Theodore could catch up, someone stepped in front of him, blocking his way

“You really hit a kid? What kind of man are you?”

During the ride back, she asked gently, “Still hurt

Jayden started to say no. But when he saw the concern in her eyes, he changed his answer. “Yeah… Could you rub it for me?

“of crune” she reached up and began to gently massage the spot.

It was Theodore’s doing, and she could only try to make up for it.

As Jayden relaxed into her touch, eyes half–closed, Eliana said quietly, “Don’t hate Thendore. He didn’t mean to

Jayden clenched his jaw, thinking. Why is she still defending him after all that?”

But that wasn’t what he really wanted to ask. “That guy who showed up… who is he to you?”

Eliana hesitated. “You ask too many questions for someone your age.”

“You don’t have to tell me. I already figured it out. He’s your boyfriend, right?”

“He’s my ex,” she corrected.

“Oh, That explains a lot,” Jayden muttered. Then he added under his breath, “Still, you’ve got pretty lousy taste. Then and now.”

“Well, clearly you’re not in that much pain anymore if you can talk like that,” Eliana said, pulling her hand back and turning to look out the window. Jayden stared at her profile, her expression now tinged with melancholy, and felt a twinge of guilt. “Are you mad at me… for calling him over?”

“I wasn’t doing anything wrong,” she said with a tired smile. “He just doesn’t trust me.”

Aher arranging for someone to drive Eliana’s car back to Russell Manor, Theodore got into his own and took off.

He seemed composed, but the truth was far from it. He barely registered the traffic lights as he flew down the streets, ignoring every red without a second thought.

It didn’t take long before several police cars cornered him and forced him to stop. Seeing that it was a Rolls–Royce, the officers exchanged a look, another entitled millionaire thinking the rules didn’t apply to him.

Whoever he was, he wasn’t walking away without consequences.

As the squad leader approached, he rapped twice on the window.

The glass lowered, revealing Theodore’s face, handsome, unreadable, and darker than the night around them.

“Sir, license and registration,” the officer said.

Without a word, Theodore handed over his documents, his mind clearly miles away.

Another officer walked up, his tone sharp and accusatory. “You blew through multiple red lights and ignored our sirens. That’s resisting arrest **** realize this could mean jail time?”

The squad leader flipped open the ID. The moment he saw the name, he froze. Swallowing hard, he gave his partner a quick elbow to the side, trying to shut him up.
