Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Elaine’s words must’ve been a hell of a shocker, ’cause everyone around fell silent.

Burton felt embarrassed, his face turning red. He quickly approached and pulled Elaine away.

Elaine struggled all the way.

Eileen stood still for a moment before gently patting Egbert’s arm. He turned to look at her.

Eileen looked puzzled and asked, “What’s her deal?”

“She wants to team up with you.” Before Egbert could speak, Eddie chimed in with a laugh.

As soon as Eddie finished speaking, he seemed to get a bright idea. He threw his arm around Lucas’ shoulder and said, “Let’s form an alliance too. We’ve been through hell and back together.”

Lucas shrugged off Eddie’s arm and walked towards Egbert, saying, “Mr. Reed, I want to take another look at the map.”

Egbert put his pocketknife away. He glanced back at Eileen, then he and Lucas went off to the side to discuss their route.

After a while, Burton and Elaine returned.

Eileen was lounging in the branches of a large tree! With her legs crossed and a blade of grass in her mouth, she was sneakily watching the siblings below.

Seeing her gaze, Burton called out, “Auntie.”

Elaine stood behind Burton, and she also seemed a bit shy now, sneakily watching Eileen and mumbling along, “Auntie.”

Eileen laughed, ignored them, and beckoned two little white monkeys over.
