Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 165

After Egbert dropped that bombshell, the place fell dead silent for a moment.

The soldiers in the back had already run far away, and their chants had become indistinct.

Eileen looked up at Egbert, her eyes wide as dinner plates.

Egbert took another step towards her. He stood really close to her, looking deeply into her eyes, and then repeated in a low voice, “I love you, Eileen.”

Eileen swallowed hard. She just stared at him quietly.

Egbert’s eyes flickered, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Eileen paused, nodding reluctantly, “Yes.”

Egbert asked, “What?”

Eileen whispered, “I never thought I’d become your backup option…”

Egbert thought he misheard, furrowing his brows, “What did you say?”

Eileen gave Egbert a look, motioning him to come closer.

Egbert leaned in slightly. Suddenly, Eileen’s hand swung up, smacking him right across the head!

Egbert blinked, turned his head to look at Eileen, quietly asking, “Why?”

Eileen put her hands on her hips, fuming, “Wake up, Egbert! Look at me!”

Egbert raised his hand to his throbbing forehead.

Eileen began to reproach him, “What’s gotten into you? You’re taking it out on me! I get it, you just got your heart broken and you’re bummed. I know the best cure for a broken heart is a new love, but don’t make it my problem! I can help you get over it, but we’re friends! There’s a line you can’t cross! Don’t you know the rules?”

Egbert asked coldly, “Can’t I love you?”

Eileen scoffed, “Fine! If you love me,

then explain, why do you love me? Name ten things you like about me.”

Egbert didn’t answer. Eileen waited for a while, seeing that Egbert remained silent, she blew her top, “What’s your deal? You could at least make something up! You can’t even name one, and you dare say you love me?”
