Chapter 94
After changing her clothes, Eileen came out to see Egbert enjoying himself with two monkeys
munching on some fruits. She remained expressionless
and silent.
Elaine tiptoed over, took the clothes Eileen had changed out of, and said, “I’ll wash these for you.”
Eileen gave her a glance, handed over the dirty clothes, and then walked towards Egbert.
Egbert looked at her and coldly said, “We’re divorced, aren’t we? What do you want?”
Eileen squatted down, gently tugged the monkey’s tail, and said, “Just a heads up, these little ones
might pee anywhere, maybe you shouldn’t hold them anymore.”
Egbert didn’t respond.
Eileen then sat down next to Egbert, lightly bumped his shoulder with hers and started laughing, “Just
kidding, I promise, no more messing around.”
Egbert glanced at her but remained silent.
From a distance, Eddie cautiously said, “You’re really bold, making such a joke. Aren’t you afraid of
offending Egbert’s fans?”
Eileen casually replied, “If they’re upset, then so be it. I’ve pissed off so many people, I can’t even
remember who’s who.”
Eddie gave Eileen a thumbs up, “You’re really something.”

However, Eileen then turned to the drone in the sky and formally said, “Attention Egbert’s fans who
want to criticize me, please queue up orderly. Let the haters go first, then you guys can have your go.
No pushing or shoving, let’s all be civilized.”
The comments in the live chat exploded like a volcano.
Of course, the people in the rainforest had no idea what was happening online.
Soon, everyone fell asleep as the night became darker.
In the middle of the night, Elaine woke Eileen up with her movements.
Elaine whispered, “I’m going for the night shift.”
Eileen, fully awake by now, rubbed her temples and looked at Elaine, who was half-asleep, “You keep
sleeping, I’ll take the shift tonight.”
Elaine was stunned.
Eileen had already changed into her clothes and went out.
Burton, expecting Elaine, was surprised to see Eileen.
He asked reflexively, “Why are you here?”
The wind outside was chilly. Eileen put her hands in her pockets, sat across him, and said, “Go sleep.”
Burton asked, “Where’s Elaine?”
Eileen replied, “She’s sleeping.”
Burton hesitated.
Eileen glanced at him and frowned, “What, do you want me to carry you to bed?”
Burton quickly stood up, scared.
He hesitated, “If you get tired, wake Elaine up.”
“Sure.” Eileen casually agreed.
Burton reluctantly went back to his tent.
Eileen broke some dry branches and threw them into the fire.
After a while, there was movement from the boys’ tent.
Eileen looked up to see that it was Egbert who came out.
She was surprised and asked, “Why are you awake?”
Egbert glanced at her, slowly sat next to her and said blandly, “You go rest, I’ll take the shift.”
Eileen raised an eyebrow, “No worries, you guys sleep. I’m not sleepy tonight, I’ll keep watch.”
Egbert stirred the fire with a stick and said blandly, “I’m not sleepy either.”
Eileen blinked, “Then shall we do it together?”
Egbert softly said, “Okay.”
The night wasn’t as lonely with the two of them keeping watch, they could even chat.
Eileen looked at Egbert and remembered a question she had been wanting to ask.
“Egbert, why did you agree to join this show?”
Egbert paused and looked at her.
Eileen scratched her chin, “Given your status and reputation, you’re not the type to be on such a variety
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshow.”
Egbert smirked and curiously asked, “What’s my status and reputation?”
Eileen started counting on her fingers and listed, “You’re a movie star, a heartthrob in the entertainment
industry, always number one on the Forbes Global Celebrity list, the dream lover of countless young
men and women…”
“Alright.” Egbert looked into Eileen’s bright eyes, laughed and asked, “Did you search up a lot about
me?”
“Do I need to? A simple search online and all I see are comments praising you.”
Egbert’s smile deepened, “So you did look me up?”
Eileen paused, thought of something, and vaguely responded with a “hm”.
Egbert pressed, “Why did you look me up?”
Eileen looked at him deeply, without answering.
Egbert, “Hm?”
Eileen seemed a bit impatient and said, “Why are you so curious about everything? I just casually
searched your name once, just once!”
Egbert was a bit taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly seemed impatient.
Eileen felt uncomfortable under Egbert’s gaze, and finally, unable to bear it, she told the truth.
“… It was during the first episode of Traveller 5+1, you were sick, right? I looked it up online, wanted to
see if you were often unwell. We weren’t familiar then, I thought if you were really in bad shape, then I’d
just ditch you…”
Egbert was speechless.
