Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Eileen looked at Egbert with wide innocent eyes, keeping her mouth shut, opting for silence instead.

Egbert didn’t continue to berate her.

He let go of her hand, asking, “Aren’t you going to show me around?”

Eileen snorted. “You’re the one who restored this place, so don’t you already know what it looks like?”

Even though she said that, she still enthusiastically escorted Egbert around.

Pointing at a vase, she said, “Look at this vase, it was my grandma’s favorite! Let me tell you a secret, when she bought it, the seller told her it was an antique. She didn’t know any better and believed him, but it’s actually not an antique at all. Later, my grandpa swapped it with a real antique so she wouldn’t get upset when she found out.”

Eileen continued, “And this painting over here was done by my grandpa. I helped mix the paint. See this lively little kitty? I drew it. Well, it was with my grandpa guiding my hand, but it still counts!”

After a while, she said, “This is my dad’s collection room. Egbert, you are amazing. You managed to find so many old clocks! You must have spent a fortune, right?”

Egbert stood at the doorway, chuckling, “I didn’t actually spend that much.”

Eileen didn’t believe him, as vintage clocks are pretty pricey after all.

She made a mental note to repay him later.

Then, she took Egbert to see the other rooms.

From the first floor to the second, they toured every room.

The more Eileen saw, the more amazed she was. It looked exactly like it used to!

In disbelief, Eileen asked Egbert, “How did you manage this? Some of the things in the rooms aren’t exactly the same, but the living room is spot on. You’re incredible!”

Egbert enjoyed her admiring gaze, after a while he said, “I did it with a video.”

Eileen was puzzled, “Video?”

Egbert walked over to the TV, pulling out an old videotape from a drawer.

He slipped the tape into the VCR.

After pressing a few buttons, the VCR started playing. The screen flickered on, showing a somewhat worn-down image.

Eileen was staring at the screen, stunned.
