Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 262

Three days later, on the day of departure for their honeymoon, the three couples gathered once more.

The production team had rented a spacious tour bus for the occasion. As the bus hummed along, casual conversations bubbled amongst the group.

Hobson, struck by a sudden thought, turned to inquire, “Did anyone else hear about that spectacle a couple of days ago? All the neighborhood strays gathered around Ms. Lopez and Mr. Reed's place. It was quite the sight! Anyone know what that was all about?”

Egbert and Eileen simultaneously fell silent.

Eileen was a little embarrassed—she couldn't very well divulge that kitten, still seething from being taken away by its owner, had come back the next day with a posse to corner Egbert, looking for a showdown.

Trying to deflect, Eileen sheepishly came to Egbert's defense, “I... um, I made some fish. Maybe they caught the scent.”

Sylvia chimed in immediately, “That must have been delicious!”

Eileen managed a strained chuckle, “I’ll make some for you all next time.”

Sylvia quickly responded with gratitude, “Thanks, Eileen!”

Aurora Bell and Calvert were seated at the back. Aurora seemed a bit under the weather, leaning back to rest.

Calvert then asked, “Does anyone know where we're headed this time?”

Hobson replied, “I think it’s somewhere cold. The crew gave me a heads up the other day but told me to keep it under wraps. They said to remember to pack winter clothes.”

Sylvia, taken aback, glanced at Hobson and declared, “But they also told me in secret to pack summer clothes!”

Hobson's eyes widened in shock, “What?”

Calvert then added, “The notice I got also said to bring winter clothes.”

Sylvia quickly turned to Eileen and Egbert, “Eileen, Mr. Reed, what about you?”
