Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 252

Eileen glanced at Egbert, remaining silent.

Then, she climbed off him, grabbed the baskets of fruit, and headed into the kitchen.

Sounds of washing fruit soon echoed from the kitchen.

Egbert then got up and moved towards the kitchen.

Eileen was busy at the sink.

Egbert reached over and plucked a washed grape, popping it into his mouth.

Eileen just continued washing the fruit, not reacting to him.

Egbert picked another grape, this time offering it to Eileen's lips, saying softly, "It's sweet, try it."

Eileen ignored him!

And then Egbert moved the grape closer to Eileen's lips.

The grape was already touching Eileen's lips. She had no choice but to frown and eat the grape.

The grape was small, and as Eileen ate it, her lips inevitably brushed against Egbert's fingertip.

He lowered his hand, subtly caressing his fingertip with his thumb before picking another grape and offering it to Eileen.

Eileen, still frowning, said, "I haven't finished eating!"

Egbert just laughed and patiently waited for her to finish before feeding her the second grape.

The minor disagreement they had seemed to have disappeared with the feeding of those two little grapes.

In fact, things were often like this at home. They would bicker and play around sometimes, but after a few minutes, everything would go back to normal.

In the production team's backstage area, the director was nearly pulling his hair out.

He was watching the surveillance video, observing the dynamics between three pairs of "husband and wife".

Calvert and Aurora knew each other from before. As they were friends, their so-called "married life" seemed more like friendly interactions. They were familiar with each other, polite, and had a certain level of understanding.

On the other hand, Hobson and Sylvia had never met before. Before today, they were complete strangers, so their interactions were exactly like how strangers would interact - very restrained.

But what was going on with Egbert and Eileen?

They were like an actual couple! They were hugging, playing, and feeding each other, and the way Egbert looked at Eileen was so affectionate and sweet!

The director exclaimed loudly, "We definitely can't air this! Didn't anyone tell them? Even though it's a simulated post-marriage life, it's still a reality show, not a romantic drama!"

The assistant director also chimed in, "Exactly, with their interactions and looks, anyone would think they're a real couple. But they're not! They're not a real couple, but they look like one. The audience will think they're acting and that our show is scripted!"

The director pointed at a staff member and said, "You, go remind them. Perhaps the two of them have misunderstood the concept of our show. Explain it to them so they can tone it down a bit!"

"Tone it down?" Eileen and Egbert were sitting in the living room, looking at the staff member sitting across from them.

The staff member was also in a difficult position, sweating as he explained, "That is, the interactions between the two of you don't need to be so deliberate."

"Deliberate?" Eileen scratched her face, oblivious to what she had done deliberately.

She had been on many reality shows before, and her behavior had always been like this. No production team had ever accused her of being deliberate.

Seeing that she seemed to have misunderstood, the staff member further explained, "That is, the you guys can be a bit more natural. Just act as you usually would."

Eileen innocently said, "We usually..."

Egbert raised his hand to stop Eileen from speaking and asked the staff member, "Just act as we usually would, right?"

The staff member nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. Your normal selves are the best, the realness of your daily lives is what the audience loves most!"

Egbert chuckled, then nodded, "Alright."
