Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

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 dont 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 arquing.

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…”

1 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 kissAs 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. 1 knew you twa 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

As soon as they left the first exhibition room, Eileen immediately tried to pull her hand away, but Egbert didn’t let her go, holding her hand tightly and calmly saying, “Let’s go to the next exhibition room”

Eileen was dragged into the next exhibition room. Seeing them holding hands with gloves on, the guide didn’t mention any fees and just started the tour. After several exhibition rooms, Eileen had grown numb.

But honesty, during the tour, they did receive a lot of preferential treatment because they were wearing the gloves.

Three hours later, they had finally finished the whole tour By then, it was already noon.

When they reached the exit, Eileen saw some staff handing out stuff. Her face lit up as she dragged Egbert to line up. When it was their turn, she naturally lifted their intertwined hands that had been linked the whole morning, showing the staff.

The staff smiled and handed them a teddy bear, then said, “Here’s a raffle box. All couples today get a chance to draw. The first prize is a set of commemorative jade, the second prize is on antique-style vase, the third prize is a piece of finely crafted Japanese souvenir, and a participation prize is a sandwich made by our venue’s restaurant for each person.

Even though the prizes were all modern crafts and not very valuable, the sandwich was practical. It even saved lunch money.

Eileen Immediately asked Egbert, “How’s your luck?”

Egbert could tell what she was getting at. He said calmly. “Averago”

Eileen said. Then you draw. My luck is too good, I’m afraid III draw the first prize. You draw, aim for the sandwich.”

Egbert said, “The one with good luck should draw. That way, the prize will be what you want.”

Eileen was convinced “Okay, I’ll do it” She said, reaching into the raffle box.

The staff checked and said, “Sorry, no prize.”

Egbert chuckled lightly, holding Eileen’s hand as they walked out.

Not until they had left the Osaka Museum did Eileen look at the “sad face” on her ticket, her face full of disbelief. That’s impossible.”

Her luck was so good that she could even get reincarnated, how could she not even draw a sandwich? This was illogical

Egbert laughed and asked, “What do you want for lunch?’

“We don’t even have a sandwich, what else is there to eat?’ Eileen grumbled, pulling out a bag of cookies from her backpack.

Upon seeing the cookies, Egbert’s expression changed.

Eileen was about to open the cookies when she realized she only had one free hand, the other was still held by Egbert. She immediately pulled her hand away, opening the cookies,

Egbert watched her quietly, waiting for her to move her hand away before slowly pulling his own hard out, neatly folding the glove and putting it in his coat pocket.

Eileen cracked open a pack of cookies, munching away and passing another pack to Egbert. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Egbert took the pack, and frozen in place.

Eileen chuckled. “We’re flat broke, dude. You gotta learn to save some.”

Egbert shot her a look, his only option left was to start unwrapping the cookies.

Just as he was about to open it, Eileen stopped him..

“1 was just joking, you’re really dense” Their fingers briefly intertwined before swiftly pulling away

Eileen took back the cookies, stashing them into her backpack, and chomped on her own cookies. After finishing, she said, “Let’s bounce. Even if we’re strapped for cash, we can still keep you fed”
