Chapter 150

While eating, Eileen noticed that Egbert seemed to be a bit distracted.

She asked, puzzled, “What’s up? You don’t like the food here?”

Egbert glanced at her, replying nonchalantly, “Nothing.”

Seeing Eileen chomping away at her meat, Egbert put down his fork and said helplessly, “Eat some veggies, will ya?”

Eileen didn’t respond, continuing her carnivorous feast.

After finishing her meal, downing some soup, and devouring most of the fruit, Eileen finally felt full.

She leaned back in her chair, patting her belly, suddenly asking Egbert, “Why didn’t we eat at that other joint? Nice vibe there.”

Egbert paused, casually responding, “We’ll go next time.”

Eileen scoffed, “And when exactly is next time? You’re leaving tomorrow.

Egbert looked at her, “You don’t want me to leave?”

Eileen blurted out, “Of course I don’t want you to leave! You’re the best damn chef!”

Egbert didn’t respond.

Eileen thought for a moment, then corrected herself, “Hot chef?”

Egbert was speechless.

Still mulling over, Eileen continued, “Chef…”

“Enough.”

Egbert cut her off, sighed, stood up and said, “Let’s get out of here.”

Seeing that Egbert was upset by her comments, Eileen quickly got up and left with him.

While they were in the car, Egbert’s phone rang again.

It was Gilbert Turner.

In the cramped car, the ringtone was a bit loud.

Gilbert’s voice was high, and he immediately asked, “Egbert, what happened? You said you’d be in Harborview City for just a day, to meet with Eileen and visit an elder. Why the sudden change of plans?”

Change of plans?

Eileen blinked, looking at Egbert.

Egbert put the phone to his ear, telling Gilbert, “Something came up.”

Gilbert probed, “What?”

Egbert didn’t answer.
