"Ignore him." Gareth's chilly voice was heard. This made Julia and Elisa more suspicious.

Gareth clearly knew why Vincent was acting strangely.

But Gareth didn't plan on talking about it.

Julia furrowed her brows slightly but ultimately didn't say anything.

Jeremy came back shortly after his phone call ended. He sat on the couch again and didn't see Vincent around, so he asked, puzzled, "Where's Vincent?"

"He's been in the washroom for a while and hasn't come out. Something's up with him. Why don't you go and check on him?" Julia was slightly worried that she had been too harsh and that he didn't want to come out.

He was a man, after all, and it wasn't convenient for Julia to go to the washroom.

Jeremy raised his brows and nodded agreeably. "Alright."

After that, he got up and walked to the washroom.

He knocked on the door. "Why are you still inside?"

"I'm smoking." The voice inside was faint, but Jeremy could hear how gloomy Vincent felt.

Vincent had wanted to leave the washroom after he got rid of the cigarette's odor by opening the window. Still, he had finished the first cigarette too quickly. It didn't make him feel less jittery, so Vincent lit a second cigarette in frustration. He did this one after another, and he smoked three cigarettes.

Jeremy had also witnessed the scene just now. He paused and said indifferently, "Open the door. I want to smoke too."

It was silent, but after a while, Vincent opened the door.

Jeremy walked in while Vincent leaned against the window. Vincent was still looking outside and had no intentions of speaking to Jeremy.

Jeremy paused momentarily. He said in exasperation, "Have you not realized your current situation?"

Vincent turned to look at Jeremy, baffled. "What are you saying?"

Jeremy's lips twitched. "What do you think?"

Jeremy didn't say anything else. He didn't want to say too much.
