Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Egbert rang back, sensing something off about the camp vibe.

“What’s up?” he asked..

Eileen shot him a glance, but didn’t answer. Burton and Elaine seemed to want to say something, but seeing Eileen’s sour face, they swallowed their words and kept their heads down, packing their bags.

Ten minutes later, they started moving. Eileen was still leading the pack. They walked all morning.

By noon, they found a creek to rest by.

Eileen’s anger towards Egbert from the morning had dissipated by lunchtime. While Elaine and Burton were busy preparing lunch, she walked over to Egbert with a blade of grass in hand and sat down next to him, “Hey.”

Egbert glanced at her.

Eileen jerked her chin towards Elaine and Burton, “You knew them before, didn’t you?”

Egbert nodded without hiding it, “In terms of family relations, I’m their elder.”

Eileen scratched her face, “Why do they call me auntie then?”

Egbert was taken aback, then looked at her. Eileen raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you hear? Elaine has accidentally called me auntie a few times.”

Egbert furrowed his brows, kept quiet for a moment, then said, “They might have made a mistake.”

Eileen examined Egbert carefully.

At that moment, Elaine finished preparing lunch and called out, “Mr. Reed, Au… Eileen, come eat.”

Eileen said to Egbert, “See, they did it again.”

Egbert didn’t respond. He stood up, extending a hand to help Eileen up. Eileen glared at him, refusing his help, and stood up on her own, walking towards Elaine.
