Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 46
The next day, Bblythe and Josiah split really early
Eileen waited for Egbert for half an hour. When Egbert finally showed up, he’d got absolutely zilch on him, not even a jacket. She
asked in confusion, “Aren’t you ready yet?”
Rolling up his shirt sleeves, revealing smooth arms, he explained, “The faucet’s busted in the bathroom. I’ve gotta hit up the front
desk”
Frowning, Eileen asked, “How come Josiah didn’t have any issues when he used it?”
Egbert responded, “He used cold water”
Hands on her hips, Eileen snapped, “Don’t tell me the faucet issue you’re talking about is that there’s no hot water.”
Looking at her nonchalantly, Egbert said, “Yep”
“You’re saying ‘yep’?” Eileen was pissed now. She stormed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, felt the water, and said,
“What’s wrong with this? Can’t you wash with cold water?”
Egbert stood at the bathroom door, silently looking at her, not moving an inch.
“Are you kidding me? Eileen exclaimed angrily “We’re running against the clock here. Who knows how long we’ll have to wait for
the front desk,” Egbert frowned, finally and reluctantly moving towards the sink. Eileen moved aside, giving him space, only to
see Egbert dip his hand under the cold stream of water, then immediately pulled back.
Eileen was speechless
– [Hahaha, so funny. Egbert won’t wash his face with cold water]
-[Actually, Eileen is the real tough guy here ‘Deep_in_thought smoking jpg”]
-[Eileen, you’re so careless! Egbert is very particular, you can’t talk about him like that!]
-[Guys, stop arguing. I also like to wash my face with hot water, especially in winter. Let’s not fight]

By the time Egbert was ready another twenty minutes had passed. Eileen glanced at her watch and said impatiently, “You’re
such a dawdler” Egbert simply put his mask on and followed her
As they passed the front desk, Eileen told them in Japanese that there was no hot water in their room. The front desk politely
assured her they will fix it. They left the hotel and walked for a bit until they reached the bus stop. Their budget hotel didn’t
include breakfast. While waiting for the bus, Eileen noticed Egbert eyeing a little boy munching on a baked bun nearby
She nudged him lightly with her elbow. Egbert turned to look at her. She pulled out a small packet of cookies from her bag and
handed it to him.
He took it and saw “International Airlines” written on the package. It seemed she got it on the plane yesterday. Well, in these
circumstances, they’d have to make do.
Egbert opened the cookie packet, took a bite, and it didn’t taste good. The boy’s baked bun seemed much more appetizing.
He looked back at the boy’s
-Buy him a bun.]
5 bun.
-Stop feeding him these complimentary cookies, Eileen. Please, buy him a bun.]
-[Look at how hungry Egbert is, Eileen, you’re so heartless ]
Not long after, the bus arrived. There was one empty seat
Eileen hesitated, then said to Egbert, “You go sit,”
Egbert looked at her and replied, “I don’t need to”
Eileen gave him a nudge and said, “Go sit, there are people getting on”
Finally, Egbert sat down. Just as he did, a huge backpack slammed onto his knees. He looked up to see Eileen dumping all her
stuff on him, a challenging look appeared on her face, “What’s the matter? If you’ve got a seat, why can’t you hold the bags?”
Egbert paused, then quietly put the bag away.

-[Stop bullying Egbert]
-I didn’t notice it when there were other people around, but now it’s just the two of them. I’ve laughed to tears three times in less
than half an hour] -I almost forgot how dominant Eileen is. It is like a stepmother treating her stepson]
-Just came from Bblythe’s live stream. They went to a breakfast place and even got seats on the bus. So hilarious, I’m gonna
laugh so hard again] Soon, they arrive at their first destination. After checking in, Eileen went to buy tickets.
When it was her turn. Egbert suddenly came over and tapped her on the shoulder. Eileen turned and asked, “What’s up?”
Without answering, Egbert walked past her and asked the ticket seller in Japanese, “Do couples get a 20% discount?”
Only then did Eileen notice a promotional poster. Today was the 100th anniversary of the Osaka Museums prized artifact, the
Pendant of Lovebirds. To celebrate this ancient lover’s token, couples visiting the Osaka Museum today got a 20% discount on
tickets, and a small souvenir upon leaving.
The ticket seller nodded and confirmed the discount for couples. Without missing a beat, Egbert said, “We’re a couple”
-[What!!]
-[Did I hear that right???]
-[Oh my god”
Eileen also wanted the discount, but it was only a few bucks off in USD. It was not worth the sacrifice
She whispered, “We’re still live streaming”
Egbert looked at her and said seriously. “Save a bit, and we can have a baked bun for breakfast tomorrow.”
Eileen thought Just a bun, and you remember so clearly? What’s wrong with the complimentary cookies.
The ticket seller asked again in Japanese Sir, madam, is it one couple’s ticket?”
Just as Edeen was about to say no. Egbert jumped in first, “Yes”
The ticket seller immediately printed the tickets and said, “1300 yen”

That was roughly 9 bucks in USD.
Egbert looked at Eileen Under the double scrutiny of the ticket seller and Egbert, Eileen had no choice but to pull out her wallet
and pay.
Once inside the Osaka Museum, becaus they had a couple’s ticket, the staff handed them a pair of strangely designed gloves.
Eileen looked at the gloves and asked. Why are they connected?”
The staff member said with a smile. “These gloves are designed to mimic the way couples hold hands Each of you wear one and
you’ll naturally start holding hands. Once the tour guide sees this, they’ll know you are on a couple’s ticket For couples, the tour
guide service is free today.”
“Thanks”Egbert said, taking the glove nd heading. side
Eileen quickly walked in, hands shoved deep into her coat pockets, obviously with no intention of wearing the odd gloves. Egbert
didn’t wear them either. He just held them in his hand.
The Osaka Museum was huge, with four floors in total. They started their visit from the first floor.
As they entered the exhibition hall displaying artifacts from another era of Japan, a tour guide approached them, asking if they
needed a tour,
For the sake of the show they should have accepted the tour After all, it was a travel variety show, and it was necessary to
thoroughly introduce the cultural attractions But the extra tour guide fee was 150 yen.
150 yen was about one US dollar With each exhibition hall costing one dollar, and with several exhibition halls across the four
floors of the museum, the cost of listening to all the tours felt like going broke.
Eileen didn’t hesitate to refuse.
Just as the tour guide was about to leave, he noticed the gloves in Egberts hand. He laughed and said, “If you guys put on the
gloves, the tour guide service will be free.”
