Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 118

Eileen was gawking at Egbert.

Egbert was a fussy dude, and even insisted on washing his face with hot water. If he could bring himself to shower in cold water…

Eileen bit her lip, casting another glance at the towel wrapped around Egbert’s waist.

“Did you…” Eileen tread carefully with her words, then asked, “Did you feel…something just now?”

Egbert froze, staring at her in disbelief. He wasn’t expecting her to be so bold.

“Really?” Eileen expressed surprise. “Then you’re pretty weak, dude. I mean, I feel nothing for you!”

Egbert fell silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and asked coldly, “Should I be happy about that?”

Eileen sighed, waving her hand dismissively. “You can’t really say that. I just have better self-control than you. It’s normal to feel aroused when you get intimate with someone; that’s just your body pumping out dopamine. But you gotta separate your physical reactions from your feelings, okay?”

Just then, Eileen’s phone rang. It was the props department, saying they’d found the car keys.

After hanging up the phone, Eileen looked up to see Egbert watching her with a frosty gaze. He seemed a bit ticked off, so she didn’t dare to provoke him further and headed for the door.
