Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 195

Eileen was freaking out.

She stared at the ring she had casually slipped onto her thumb.

Eileen was so scared she could hardly move.

She just held her hand up like that, then turned her head, looking at Egbert with sheer terror, and asked in a stiff voice, "Are you messing with me?"

Egbert kept one hand on the wheel while using the other to reach over and press her hand down. He gently squeezed her fingertips and said, "Chill out."

How could she possibly chill out?

This was 126 million dollars!

Eileen had forgotten to shake off Egbert's hand.

But she was very suspicious, "Are you pulling my leg? How could anyone give such a gift to someone they just met? You're definitely playing me, aren't you?"

Egbert didn't respond.

Eileen frowned, "Are you or are you not playing me?"

Egbert still didn't respond.

Eileen was starting to get mad, she smacked Egbert's hand hard with her other hand, and roared, "Tell me!"

Egbert looked at his hand that had been smacked red.

He knew she was really upset.

He could only say, "I'm not playing you, they really are loaded."

Even if they were loaded, they couldn't just spend money like that.

Eileen was genuinely terrified.

She said, "Drive back right now! Drive back immediately!"

But Egbert didn't turn back.

Eileen shouted loudly, "Go back! I have to return this to them! They must've made a mistake!"

After a while, the car stopped. The traffic lights in front of them were changing, and pedestrians were passing by.

As they paused, Egbert looked at Eileen from the corner of his eye.

His deep gaze was meant to be comforting. He said softly, "You don't have to."

Eileen said, "How can I not? I can't accept such an unexpected gift..."

Egbert repeated seriously, "You really don't have to."

Eileen was baffled.

When the lights turned green again, Egbert started the car.

Eileen didn't say anything else. She just stared deeply at Egbert's profile.

Such an expensive thing, but Egbert said she didn't have to return it?

Egbert wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

He knew Ms. Rosalind, how could Egbert say such a thing?

Eileen looked awful.

Her mind started to run wild.

She thought about Rosalind's face which was similar to hers.

Then she thought about when she hugged Rosalind, and how Rosalind had cried.

They drove for a long time.

When they arrived at their destination, the buyer's car was already waiting across the street.

Eileen was in the passenger seat, still in the same position as before, not having moved a bit.

Egbert said, "We're here."

Only then did Eileen turn to look at Egbert.

She said calmly, "I'm afraid to touch this thing, take it off for me."

Egbert glanced at her, then took her hand, removed the ring, and handed it to her.

Eileen didn't take it, she just got out of the car immediately, "From now on, this thing is in your hands. If it's damaged, you pay for it!"

Egbert's expression didn't show any surprise.

He just stared at her, then said, "I thought you would like it, it's very expensive after all."

Eileen gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, it's expensive, but we have no special relationship, why should I accept such an expensive gift?"

After saying that, Eileen suddenly slammed the car door shut.
