Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 152

When Eileen got back to Egbert's place with lunch, she ran into Albert.

At first, she didn't recognize him.

After all, it had been a long time.

However, Albert was the first to recognize her, and he said, "You've grown up."

Eileen looked at him confused.

Albert, leaning on the single sofa, his serious face now showing a warm smile, "Eileen, do you really not remember me? I have been waiting for your call."

Eileen suddenly understood.

Like a dust-covered memory being opened, it slowly emerged.

Her grandparents died in a car accident, and she woke up from a coma.

In the world, she had nothing. She suddenly became an orphan.

Afterwards, many people came to the hospital to see her, one of whom was her father's friend, a very important person.

That person wanted to adopt her, but she refused, saying she was waiting for her mother...

That person left her a note with a phone number on it, but the note was thrown away by Sarah...

"Mr. Reed..." Eileen looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.

Her lips opened and closed several times, and finally, she made an uncertain sound, "...Mr. Reed?"

Albert's smile deepened in his eyes, he asked quietly, "Do you remember now?"

Eileen couldn't speak. She turned to look at Egbert, then back at Albert.

Egbert, Mr. Reed, Mr. Reed...

Eileen asked with a confused expression, "You, you're Mr. Reed? You guys..."

Albert interrupted, "Egbert, give us some space, I want to talk to Eileen alone."

Egbert, sitting on the sofa, calmly looked at his father, and then leaned back, "I'm not going anywhere."

Albert shot him a glace.

Eileen was still in shock.

She thought for a while, then said to Egbert, "I want to talk to him... alone."

Egbert stood up from the sofa, gently touched Eileen's head, and said softly, "Call me if you need anything."

With that, he left the room.

Albert gave his son a weird look.

In the room, only the two of them were left.

Eileen looked at Albert, silent for a while, then asked, "Is it really you?"

Albert smiled.

Eileen bit her lip lightly, lowered her head to think for a while, then asked, "Have, have you eaten?"

Albert shook his head, "Not yet."

Eileen immediately stood up, took out the lunch she had brought for Egbert, and opened it, "If you don't mind..."

Albert's attitude was very friendly, "In my youth, on the battlefield, I ate all kinds of things, I'm not picky."

Eileen also smiled, her nervousness about seeing an elder relaxed a bit.

Albert sat on the sofa and started to eat without any hesitation.

Eileen sat opposite him, her fingers twisting the corner of her clothes, then she asked again, "You and Egbert..."

"We are father and son," Albert said, taking out his wallet from his pocket and handing it to her.

Eileen immediately refused, "I really can't accept this, it's not appropriate, we just met!"

Albert reluctantly said, "There's a photo inside."

Eileen finally understood.

She remembered, when she was young, Mr. Reed wanted to adopt her, and he showed her a photo of his entire family.

Eileen was extremely embarrassed, it turns out Mr. Reed wasn't trying to give her money.

She awkwardly took the wallet, opened it and saw an old family photo, exactly as she remembered it.

When she first saw this photo, she was just a child, and she didn't feel anything.

This time looking at the photo, she immediately noticed Egbert in the center.
