Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 95

Chapter 95

This night seemed to stretch on forever.

Eileen was carefully tending to the campfire, stealing glances at Egbert from the corner of her eye.

Ever since she had spilled her guts to him earlier, Egbert had been wearing a serious expression.

Feeling on edge, Eileen attempted to distract him, “Want some snacks?”

Egbert didn’t respond.

Eileen went into the tent and fetched a food box filled with leftover roast mushrooms and bugs.

She opened the lid, found the fattest bug and held it out to Egbert’s mouth, “Eat up.”

Egbert glanced at her and, in the end, opened his mouth to eat the bug.

Seeing him willing to eat, Eileen let out a sigh of relief and quickly held out another one.

Egbert only ate those two, then he closed the lid of the box.

Eileen asked, “Not hungry?”

Egbert set the box aside and calmly said, “I’m saving some for you.”

Eileen hurriedly said, “You can eat as much as you want, it’s not a big deal!”

Egbert looked at her, “Why?”

Eileen replied, “Because you’re different.”

Egbert scoffed, “Why am I different? Is it because you’re trying to ditch me and now you’re trying to make it up to me?7

Eileen quickly denied, “No, it’s not like that. I’m nice to you because…”

She suddenly stopped.

Egbert looked at her, “Because what?”

Eileen shook her head.

Egbert frowned, “Spill it.”

Eileen carefully said, “You have to promise not to get mad if I tell you.”

Egbert suddenly didn’t want to know.
