Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 177

The next day, at lunchtime.

In the army canteen.

Eileen was munching on grilled pork chops, lobster, and sipping on corn chowder, feeling like she was on cloud nine.

The army's regular food certainly couldn't compare to this.

But the food that Aaron had specially prepared for her, that was a whole different story.

Aaron was sitting across from Eileen, smiling and watching her eat, her cheeks stuffed like a hamster.

"Take your time, there's plenty more," Aaron said.

After swallowing her food, Eileen picked up a large piece of pork chop.

She took a big bite, her nose getting all greasy.

Aaron handed her a napkin, saying, "You played a big part in our victory yesterday, so feel free to ask for whatever you want to eat. I'll get more if it's not enough!"

Eileen was falling hard for Aaron!

Of all the people she knew, besides Egbert, only Aaron would treat her to meals and let her order whatever she wanted!

After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she said without hesitation, "I want to eat fish."

"Fish, huh." Aaron stood up and said, "Alright, let me go and ask."

Eileen was thrilled.

Aaron went to the kitchen.

She took another bite of her food, continuing to enjoy her feast.

After a while, a shadow appeared above her.

Thinking that Aaron was back, she looked up excitedly, only to find Egbert.

It was lunchtime, the time when all the instructors would come to eat.

Chewing her food, Eileen carefully watched Egbert, silently pulling her plates closer to herself.

She was worried that Egbert would steal her food.

Egbert put down his tray, sat across from her, and quietly started eating.

Was he just here to share the table?

Eileen lowered her head and continued eating.

After a while, Aaron came back.

Seeing her seat taken, she was taken aback, walked around and saw that it was Mr. Reed.

Looking at the two of them sitting together, Aaron had a knowing look.

She had long noticed that there was something going on between Mr. Reed and Eileen.

They had been secretly meeting in her office, and she had found out.

Being in the presence of a superior, Aaron was somewhat reserved.

She said to Eileen, "They have fish in the kitchen, it's being cooked now. Enjoy it, there's more to come."

Eileen was over the moon!

Egbert suddenly said, "Is there more?"

Aaron opened her mouth, wanting to explain something.

But Eileen beat him to it, "Aaron invited me! You're not getting any!"

Egbert was silent.

Egbert was looking at her indifferently.

Eileen felt somewhat guilty under his gaze.

She silently lowered her head and continued eating her pork chop.

Aaron chuckled, "Let her eat if she wants to."

Egbert said sternly, "Cancel it, no more fish."

Aaron was stunned.

Eileen felt like it was the end of the world.

She looked at Egbert in disbelief, and was instantly furious!

Egbert looked at Eileen and said calmly, "Eating too much is not good for your digestion."

Eileen immediately retorted, "My digestion is fine!"

Egbert squinted at Aaron, "Aren't you going?"

Aaron was helpless.

In the end, Aaron had no choice but to go to the kitchen to cancel the order.

Watching Aaron's retreating figure, Eileen felt like crying.

She turned to look at Egbert, her gaze piercing into him like little knives.
