Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 282

— [What the...?]

— [NO WAY!!!]

— [Why the heck can Eileen's fingerprint unlock Egbert's phone???]

— [That can't be Egbert's phone, right?]

— [It's totally his phone, he just took it out of his pocket!]

— [Oh my gosh, this is... what the...]

— [Hold up, ladies, I did some digging and came back. There's a buzz that Romantic Revelations is one of those celebrity faux marriage shows, so maybe this is all just for the show?]

— [Yeah, probably just hyping up the program…]

— [Oh, it's a publicity stunt. You nearly gave me a heart attack! I'm a die-hard fan here!]

Eileen was engrossed in scrolling through Egbert's contacts on his phone, oblivious to the flurry of comments.

Egbert, however, saw the comments and frowned. Then, suddenly, he looked at Eileen's lips and asked, "What happened here?"

Eileen, still focused on the phone, replied, "Where?"

"Right here." Egbert reached out, his warm fingers gently holding Eileen's chin, his thumb briefly grazing her lips.

Eileen paused, taken aback.

Comments exploded across the screen.

— [WHAT THE...!!!]

— [OMGGGG!!!]

— [Is this 'warming up' for the show too???]

Eileen looked at Egbert in confusion, not understanding why he would do that!

Egbert lifted her chin higher and studied her lips closely before saying, "It's a bit swollen."

Swollen? She hadn't noticed.

Egbert furrowed his brow, "Did I bite too hard?"

Eileen was speechless.

Everyone else went silent. And Sylvia almost fainted.

— [Did I just hear that right?]

— [Are you officially announcing it now, for crying out loud!!!]

— [It's just a warm-up, ladies, just a promo! Don't fall for it!]

— [Who cares if it's a warm-up, I ship E&E, I'm so in for this fresh scoop!]

Chaos reigned in the live stream once again.

The assistant director, nearly petrified, rushed to grab the phone. Seeing the bombardment of comments, he knew they were on the brink.

He quickly positioned himself in front of the camera and explained, "It's not what you think. It's for the show. Both teachers here are professionals with excellent acting skills. The kissing scene was very realistic. Anyway, everything will be clear when Romantic Revelations airs!"

Having said that, and fearing further complications, he gestured to the cameraperson and addressed the viewers, "Thanks for all your concern for our team. It's time to sign off. Goodbye!"

With that, he cut the live feed.

Eileen had caught on to Egbert's mischievous intent by now.

Grinding her teeth, she shoved his phone back into his chest and kicked him in the leg. He didn't dodge or react.
