Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 193

When Eileen was brought out to meet the folks, she got the shock of her life seeing Albert Reed, Egbert’s dad. She didn’t see that coming in a million years.

She was so taken aback that she immediately gave Albert a deep bow. Derek, her dad, was about to say something, but seeing his daughter being so courteous, he quickly stepped in, “No need for that, just talk.”

Eileen was helped up by an old man, whom she recognized from the last time at the Survival military camp. She saw him with a man dressed in elite gear, both of whom happened to be in Egbert’s tent.

Eileen didn’t have a good vibe about these two. They were ogling her all day and it made her skin crawl.

She turned to Albert with a smile plastered on her face and said in her sweetest voice, “Hello, Mr. Reed!”

Only then did Derek realize his daughter wasn’t bowing to him. His face fell as he turned to his long-time friend.

On the other hand, Albert was thrilled to bits. His face broke into a doting smile as he waved Eileen over, “Come here, Eileen.”

Eileen sprinted over to him, leaving Derek with a sour expression. He threw a look to his eldest son, signaling him to do something.

Blake was at a loss. He’d noticed that Eileen gave him and his dad a dirty look when she first saw them.

Chad, trying to divert attention, piped up, “Ms. Lopez, long time no see.”

Eileen gave Chad a polite nod before turning her attention back to Mr. Reed..

Chad felt like banging his head against a wall. Albert was downright smug.

He introduced Eileen to his wife, “Eileen, meet my wife, Josephine.”

Eileen greeted Josephine, Egbert’s mother, with a respectful bow, “Hello, Mrs. Reed.”

Josephine greeted Eileen warmly and admired her, “So, you’re Eileen. My husband talks about you all the time. You’re such a darling.”

Eileen blushed, biting her lip shyly, “Thanks…”
