Chapter 995
Victor asked cautiously, grasping on a final hope, “Can I… Can I at least care for her as a friend?”
“That is fine.” Conrad paused for a few seconds before stressing, “But only as a friend.”
Sure.” Victor smiled bitterly as a response.
Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor were thrilled to receive Eileen as a guest. They immediately went into the kitchen to
prepare a meal for her.
When evening came, Tyler brought his wife and daughter over to the house.
“Oh my, I smelled the delicious food from afar. What’s for dinner?”
Conrad glared at him and said, “What are you? A dog?”
“Hey, don’t say that! I was going to bring my family out for a meal. And I was also going to ask you if you’re joining
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtus. But you’re the one that asked me to come.”
Tyler then saw Eileen that was glued to Fia in the living room.
“Wow… look, honey! Is that… that Ei something something?”
Mary took a look and yelped in surprise, “It’s Eileen!”
Hearing someone say her name, Eileen raised her head and looked at the entrance in a daze. “Huh? What’s going
on?”
In a few seconds, Mary had shoved Tyler to a side and rushed to Eileen. Seeing this, Eileen was shocked. She
thought this woman was going to hug and squeeze her. But, at the very last minute, Mary stopped and stood in
front of her and started fidgeting.
“Ei…Eileen! I love you, Eileen!”

Everyone in the living room was speechless seeing this.
Tyler quickly hurried to his wife’s side and explained, “She is your fan. She loves you as a fan!” “Oh!” Eileen smiled
at her. “Thank you very much!”
“Can… Can I have a hug?” Mary was so happy to see her idol that she even began stuttering.
“Sure.” Eileen stood up and embraced her. “Thank you for liking me.”
Mary hugged back, feeling the warmth of her idol. She was so happy that she thought she was dreaming.
“I can’t believe it! I’m hugging Eileen Reid! The Eileen Reid! Oh, I’m so happy!”
Fia smiled. “If you want to hug her, you’re always welcome to visit us.”
“Oh!” Mary stomped on the ground when Eileen let go of her.
Seeing that Eileen sat next to Fia, Mary quickly sat next to her idol without hesitation and
complained, “Why didn’t you say you’re friends with Eileen Reid? I must have looked like a fool earlier!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophia, who was standing behind them, jested, “But this is a good surprise, is it not?”
“Yes! Yes, indeed! It’s a huge surprise!” Mary wiped off the tears of happiness that were rolling down her face. “I
didn’t think I’d get to meet Eileen. Oh my! I’m so happy!”
Then, she hugged Fia and said, “It’s all thanks to you!”
Fia glanced at Conrad coldly while he quietly looked away. Hmph! This man… He must be doing it on purpose. He
did not want to see Eileen having her all to herself. So, he brought over the Lanes.
“I’ll be upstairs with Tyler. We’ve got things to talk about.”
Conrad stood up and led Tyler upstairs.
Fia glared at her husband walking upstairs, feeling that this man’s jealousy had grown even worse in the past few
days.
Realizing the vibe between the Maxwells, Mary asked in a timid tone, “Is it a bad time? Am I interrupting? Mr.
Maxwell said you’ve got a friend who’d returned from overseas. He wanted to introduce us so he invited us over.
But… I didn’t think your friend’s Eileen Reid though!” When she thought about Eileen, Mary’s face began beaming
with joy again.
