Married To The Blind Heir (by Tessa Galvin) novel Chapter 188

Fourteen hours later, their night landed in Lunara.

Thanks to the minimal time difference between Lunara and home, It was already well past midnight by the time Eliana and her team exited the plane.

Luckily, a private car was waiting for them at the airport, sparing them the usual hassle.

As soon as Eliana and Megan got into the car, Elana turned her phone back on. Within seconds, two messages lit up her screen.

[Have you arrived?]

(Call me once you land.

To Eliana, they came across as nothing but commands, cold, clipped, like orders from a boss rather than concern from a husband,

All the resentment she’d been bottling up over the past few days boiled to the surface. Even on a business trip, she couldn’t escape his overbearing

attitude, so she blocked his number.

Megan, who happened to glance over just in time to see what Eliana did, flinched instinctively.

She couldn’t even get Theodore’s secretary to return her calls, yet Eliana could go ahead and block the man himself. Clearly, when someone’s the favorite, rules don’t really apply.

Meanwhile, at Russell Manor.

Theodore had lost count of how many times he’d checked his phone, scrolling back through his messages, searching for a reply that wasn’t there.

Based on her flight time, she should’ve landed by now.

He tried sending another message, but this time, an error popped up.

Message failed to send.

He froze, realizing she’d blocked him.

Theodore, Russell Group’s CEO, a man who’d never been ignored in his life, had just been blocked by his own wife.

His face darkened like an approaching storm. With a sharp crack, he threw his phone against the floor. Tonight would be another long, sleepless night.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Grim–faced, he walked over and opened it.

Jayden stood outside, peering up at him. “Where’s Elana?”

Theodore’s voice was flat. “Why do you care!”

Jayden frowned. “It’s late and she’s not back. Aren’t you even a little worried?”

He was worried. That was exactly why he kept posting her over and over, only to be rewarded by her shutting him out.

Trying to brush Jayden off, he said curtly, “She’s on a business trip”

“What?” Jayden blinked, pulling out his phone to check her contact. He started typing a message.

Chapter 188

Theodore raised an eyebrow. “You have her number?”

Jayden gave him a defiant look. “Not telling you.”

He turned to leave, but hadn’t taken two steps before Theodore grabbed him by the back of the collar and hauled him back like a misbehaving voice was low and sharp. “Ask her where she is.”

Jayden was going to do that anyway, so he hit send.

Minutes passed, but still no response.

Theodore let out a dry, bitter chuckle. If she was ignoring him, there was no way she’d respond to Jayden.

But then, Jayden blurted out in surprise, “She repliedi Slie

replied”

He stared at the screen like the message might somehow change if he looked long enough, as if he could will her to include even a single word that hinted she was thinking about him.

“Hey, give it back!” Jayden wrestled the phone from Theodore’s iron grip. When he saw the message again, a smug smile crept across his face. “Wonder if she’s got time for a video call later?”

Theodore fought the urge to throw him out of the room.

Instead, he changed his mind. “Get in here.”

If Eliana was really going to video chat with this brat, he wasn’t about to miss it.

But she didn’t. She said she was too tired, that she needed to rest.

For some reason, that made Theodore feel slightly better. At least she hadn’t gone out

“What are y

are you grinning about?” Jayden said, cocking an eyebrow. “At least she answered me. Not like you.”

He’d already noticed the broken phone on the floor. It wasn’t hard to guess what had happened.

Elana had blocked him, and Jayden knew it.

Eliana had barely finished texting Jayden when another message lit up her phone. This one was from Anthony, asking where she’d gone and why she hadn’t come home yet..

Out of politeness, she typed out a quick reply.

Megan, sitting next to her, peeked over and couldn’t hold back a gasp. “Wow… The Russell men really don’t hold back when it comes to checking in an you, do they?”

Everyone always said the Russell brothers didn’t get along. But right now, it felt like they were all circling Eliana like planets around a sun.

“Checking in?” Eliana gave a tired half–smile. It was exhausting for her, if anything.

One wanted to control her. Another tried to seduce her. The last used her as a pawn in his passive–aggressive standoffs with Theodore. None of them were doing it out of pure concern.

Just then, their driver turned around. “Ms. Burke, Ms. Thompson, we’ve arrived at the hotel”
