Jessica hesitated for a moment before answering the phone finally.
She couldn't hide forever. This time, the matter was quite serious. It could be considered the biggest incident since she entered the entertainment industry.
Although she would be irritated when being questioned, she must answer the phone, for fear that her family would be worried.
After taking a deep breath, Jessica picked up the phone and said, "Mom."
"Jessica..." Arabel's voice was very gentle.
Jessica was anxious. The last time she heard Arabel speak to her in such a gentle tone, she was still in the primary school.
She asked directly, "Mom, have you read all the news about me on the Internet?"
Arabel was silent for a moment, "Yes, I have."
"Don't worry; I can take care of it. Go have fun with your friends. Don't stare at your phone all day long..."
Arabel interrupted her, "What's wrong with you and Carl? Is the news online true?"
Here it came.
"Mom, both Carl and I are grown-ups. We have our own standpoints. It's no longer like when we were kids. I can take care of it."
Jessica's words could be considered as a yes.
Arabel watched the two grow up together. Their relationship had been good since they were children, but how could they end up like this.
"I see."
Hearing Arabel's low tone, Jessica's voice became gentler, "I love you."
Jessica soothed Arabel for a while and cheered her up before hanging up the phone.
