Chapter 96

Elaine’s words must’ve been a hell of a shocker, ’cause everyone around fell silent.

Burton felt embarrassed, his face turning red. He quickly approached and pulled Elaine away.

Elaine struggled all the way.

Eileen stood still for a moment before gently patting Egbert’s arm. He turned to look at her.

Lucas shrugged off Eddie’s arm and walked towards Egbert, saying, “Mr. Reed, I want to take another look at the map.”

Egbert put his pocketknife away. He glanced back at Eileen, then he and Lucas went off to the side to discuss their route.

Elaine stood behind Burton, and she also seemed a bit shy now, sneakily watching Eileen and mumbling along, “Auntie.”

Eileen laughed, ignored them, and beckoned two little white monkeys over.

Eddie was stumped, asking, “What’s the difference?”
