Chapter: 1780

Before Libby could finish her words, Carson abruptly stood up.

"I'LL just smoke outside." Carson then turned around and left without even giving Libby a chance to react. He followed Rosa out of the private room.

At this moment, only Jeanne, Maya, and Libby were left in the private room.

Libby's hand holding the fork froze midair. She had actually picked up food for Carson. But before she could put it on his pate, he had already walked away.

It was only then that Libby came back to her senses. She instinctively thought of following Carson outside.

But when she stood up, Jeanne immediately reacted and called out, "Libby..."

Libby looked at Jeanne. "I need to use the restroom."

"This private room has a restroom. You don't need to go out," Jeanne said with a smile. Indeed, she was an actress. Although her smile was perfunctory, it wasn't sincere at all.

Being seen through, Libby pursed her lips. "I..."

Jeanne raised her eyebrows. “Is something wrong?"

"I... I have my period, so I need to go out and buy some tampons." A subtle sense of uneasiness surged in Libby's heart. She had an overpowering urge to follow Carson outside. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain. She couldn't give up just like that.

Jeanne smiled. "Oh, is that so? That's actually not a problem. You don't need to go buy them."

Libby was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Jeanne take out a tampon from her purse and handed it to her. “No wonder I've always felt a connection with you. I didn't expect our periods to even come at the same time."

Libby didn't expect Jeanne to have tampons with her, and they had the same monthly period.

She looked at the tampon in Jeanne's hand, not knowing whether she took it or not.

Libby hesitated for a moment. But in the end, she accepted it. She thanked Jeanne with a forced smile. "Thank you."

"Oh, don't mention it. Since you are Rosa's sister, then you are my friend.

You don't need to be so formal," Jeanne said. "Do you need anything else."

"No, thank you."

Libby felt helpless. She had no excuse to leave anymore.

"I'll just use the restroom," she said and stood up to go to the restroom.

Jeanne watched Libby's back. If Libby followed Carson outside, it would be nearly impossible to catch up with him at this point.

Libby had no choice but to give up the idea. She walked to the restroom with the tampon in her hand. She wished she could crumple it to vent her anger Actually, Rosa had no phone calls to make. She only went out of the private room to catch some air. With Carson and Libby at the dining table, she couldn't eat anything and even found it difficult to breathe.

She walked to the balcony, leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes.
