Chapter 1399 Timely Help (1/2)

The mocking expression on Estelle's face disappointed Ethan.

Usually, there were very few things that he disliked more than this sight.

However, given the current situation, more important things awaited. Ethan asked immediately, ”Are you okay?”

Only then did Estelle remember what she had meant to do. Shocked by Ethan's sudden presence, she had momentarily forgotten about the problem at hand.

”Well,” she muttered hesitantly. Her face grew crimson as embarrassment overcame her.

Ethan was now confused. He was afraid that something terrible had happened to her. ”What's wrong?” he prodded.

”Well... It's just... Could you buy me a pack of sanitary napkins?” Estelle asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips tightly together in shame.

Although she had said these words very softly, Ethan had heard her.

He blushed, almost equally embarrassed, and he felt his cheeks burning up. In an attempt to ease the awkwardness, he cleared his throat. ”Which... Which one should I buy?” he stammered.

Estelle's face grew redder, even more so than his. She didn't dare open her eyes. Mustering up all the courage that she could, she said quickly, ”The brand 'Always' is okay.”

”Fine. Proceed to the washroom, and I'll buy you what you need.” Without another word, Ethan turned around and rushed over to the nearest supermarket.

Once he was gone, Estelle went straight to the washroom and locked herself in a cubicle.

She sat on the toilet and browsed her phone as she waited for him.

In less than ten minutes, she heard someone calling her name.

She slowly opened the cubicle door and poked her head out, only to find a young woman whom she didn't recognize. ”Hello, are you looking for me?” Estelle asked.

”Are you Estelle Wang? Your boyfriend asked me to give this to you.” The strange girl looked Estelle right in the eye and handed her a bag.

It was a black plastic bag. Judging by its size, Estelle thought that it must contain more than just sanitary napkins.
