Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 47

After the guide finished speaking, he noticed that they didn't understand, so he gestured while explaining it again.

Eileen looked at the peculiar gloves and asked bluntly, "We bought couple tickets to get in here. Can we get the free tour without wearing these gloves?"

The guide looked puzzled. "You're a couple, why don't you want to wear the gloves? According to the rules, only by wearing the Osaka Museum's couple gloves can you get a free tour."

Well, if that was the case, there was no point in arguing.

Eileen waved it off. "Forget it..."

Just as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She looked up to find Egbert already wearing the glove, telling her, "Put it on."

Eileen glanced at the cameraman nearby. Because they were in a public place, the cameraman was using a small camera, about the size of a regular phone.

No matter how small the camera was, it couldn't deny the fact that it was a live streaming camera. At this moment, millions of viewers were watching them.

"Are you nuts?" Eileen said frankly.

Egbert glanced at the camera indifferently. "Everybody knows this is fake."

"That's not the point..."

"I remember you are an actress, right?" Egbert suddenly said.

Eileen blinked in surprise, frowning. "So what?"

"In the future, when you're filming, you'll have to hold hands, embrace, even kiss..." As he mentioned kissing, Egbert's gaze unconsciously drifted to Eileen's cherry-red lips, and then quickly looked away. "These are things you can't avoid, you'll have to get used to it eventually."

She knew that, but...

Seeing her still hesitating, Egbert simply grabbed her hand and forced it into the other glove.

Eileen struggled. Egbert frowned at her. "We need to get on with it." His tone suggested that she was the one wasting time.

Eileen didn't want to say it in front of the camera, but the reason she was avoiding too much contact with Egbert was because she had promised Bartley and Saul to avoid any suspicion. Since they were so vigilant and spent a lot of money to monitor her, looking at her as if she were some vixen, wasn't holding hands with Egbert just giving them an excuse to cause trouble?

And since Egbert's fiancee was so bothered by him having too much contact with other women, it was only right for her to keep her distance.

"I won't wear it." She said firmly.

Egbert looked at her silently, then said seriously, "Your lack of professionalism surprises me."

"What did you just say..." He actually started a personal attack. Eileen was a bit angry. She was doing this for his own good, not wanting to cause him any trouble at home.

"Fine, you want professionalism, you said it, don't regret it later." With that, she forcefully put on the glove. Once the glove was on, their fingers naturally intertwined.

Eileen glared at him, then lowered her gaze to their linked hands.

She was pretty peeved at the moment...

Egbert suddenly chuckled, apologizing to the guide in fluent Japanese. "She's mad at me, sorry."

The guide smiled, thinking he was being clever. "I knew you two were a couple having a spat. Come, follow me this way."

What followed was the guide continuously talking up front, with Egbert and Eileen following behind. Their hands remained linked the whole time. Even though both their hands were gloved, Eileen could still feel the warmth of Egbert's hand inside the glove.

She was a little irritable, so she was pretty distracted during the tour.
