Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 251

Eileen let go of the doorframe she had been gripping.

She straightened her posture and smoothed her clothing.

With a calm demeanor, she walked around Egbert and the other onlookers, silently entering the pink room across the hallway. She smiled and commented, "This room is quite cozy, and it looks like my luggage has been taken care of. Alright, I'll stay here."

Egbert turned his head away, unable to suppress a smirk that danced in his eyes.

Standing behind, Hobson was dumbstruck. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Retreat as a means of advance. Classic Egbert."

Egbert shot Hobson a glance, which silenced him immediately.

After everyone had a look around the room, they all dispersed.

As they were leaving, Eileen didn't forget to remind Aurora, "Don't forget to bring me my house warming gift."

Aurora clenched her teeth and stomped downstairs.

Eileen then turned her gaze to Sylvia. But to her surprise, Sylvia was also looking at her, with the same mournful and devastated expression.

Eileen sighed. She felt helpless and told Sylvia, "Looking at me like that won't help. What can I do?"

Sylvia pouted, complaining, "I'm about to cry from all this drama!"

Eileen comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll get a divorce in two weeks."

Egbert turned his head to look at Eileen, his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked with a deep voice, "What did you just say?"

Sensing a brewing storm, Sylvia quickly retreated and scampered away.

Seeing Sylvia leave in such a rush, Eileen didn't even have time to call out to her. She felt a foreboding sensation. She glanced at Egbert, noticing his face had darkened considerably.

Eileen scratched her face, defensively retorting, "What, what's wrong? Isn't it true that the show only lasts for two weeks...?"

After finishing her sentence, Eileen didn't dare to look at Egbert's face. She cautiously tiptoed along the wall, keeping as far away from Egbert as possible, and carefully slipped past him.

Once she reached the stairs, she quickly descended without looking back!

Once Eileen was downstairs, she dashed into the kitchen, hiding behind the counter and sneaking glances towards the staircase.

After a while, she saw Egbert come down. His expression was calm, as if he was no longer angry.

Seeing this, Eileen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She checked the time, it was almost noon. Eileen decided to cook something delicious to appease Egbert.

So, she opened the refrigerator, but found it empty.

Eileen turned to Egbert and asked, "Mr. Reed, looks like we have to cook for ourselves. Should we go grocery shopping?"

Egbert, sitting on the couch and scrolling through his phone, didn't respond.

Without getting response, Eileen poked her head out of the window to look at the person outside, and gently called out, "Mr. Reed?"

Egbert continued to scroll through his phone, not uttering a word.

Eileen pursed her lips, scratching her neck before slowly coming out to sit on the couch as well.

With a bit of distance between them, Eileen looked at the remote control on the coffee table and tentatively asked, "Mr. Reed, do you want to watch TV?"

Egbert didn't lift his head, remaining silent.

Eileen was at a loss on how to deal with the situation.
