But with that thought, something really came to Jessie’s mother's mind, her eyes widening, "There's really something."
Hearing this, Violet's body immediately straightened up, "What is it?"
"These two days, whenever Jessie is free, she will sit on the sofa and dwell, or she will stay in her room and dwell, or she will often go out and buy all kinds of tonic, clothes and stuff for us. Although in the past when Jessie came back, she would also buy these things for me and her father, definitely not as much as this time. It is too much that her father and I won't need to buy new clothes for the next year." Jessie’s mother said.
Violet frowned tightly, "In that case, there is something wrong. Did something happen at home recently that makes Jessie like this?"
Jessie’s mother shook her head, "No, nothing happened."
"That would be really weird." Violet murmured.
Jessie’s mother glanced at the door of Jessie's room again, "How about this, Violet? I'll ask Jessie to see if she has something on her mind, if so, I will let you know."
That was a good idea.
Jessie didn't tell her because Jessie didn't think she could help.
But when faced with Jessie’s mother, perhaps Jessie would tell her.
"Okay, please, you must ask, I'm really worried about Jessie." Violet said.
Jessie’s mother nodded, "Yes, I will, I gotta go now."
Violet nodded.
Jessie’s mother hung up the phone and then walked towards Jessie's room, raising her hand and knocking on the door, "Jessie, are you asleep?"
"No." A response came from Jessie through the door.
Jessie’s mother added, "May I come in?"
"Wait a minute, Mom." Inside the house, Jessie hurriedly drew two tissues out and wiped her tears before agreeing, "Come in."
Getting permission, Jessie’s mother pushed the door in, "Jessie, what are you doing?"
"Not doing anything, Mom, I am playing with my phone." Jessie shook her phone and said with a smile.
However, knowing her daughter well, Jessie’s mother instantly saw that she was lying, and most importantly, her red eyes and wet eyelashes showed that she had cried.
"Jessie, tell me honestly, did something happen recently?" Jessie’s mother walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Jessie shook her head, "No, what could have happened, Mom? Don't talk nonsense."
"Am I the one who's talking nonsense?" Jessie’s mother snapped up her face, "You don't know yourself, but mom I see it clearly, in the past two days, you've been fuming every now and then, either you're in your room or you're running around outside, buying me and your dad a whole bunch of things, is that normal? It's not normal, and just now Violet called and asked me if something happened to you, saying that you handed over all your work at the company and didn't tell her, so Jessie, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Jessie lowered her head, her palms clenched, and she hesitated to reply.
When Jessie’s mother saw this, she was already sure that something had indeed happened to Jessie, so she became anxious and hurriedly grabbed her by the shoulders and asked, "Jessie, tell me what happened, don't let me worry, okay?"
Jessie lifted her head, her eyes were red as she looked at her mother, her mouth opened, "I ......"
"Say it!" Jessie’s mother prodded her.
Jessie wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
Jessie’s mother's eyes were also red with anxiety, "Jessie, what exactly can't you say? You're making me worry about you, do you know?"
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm really sorry!" Jessie lowered her head, covered her face with her hands and cried, her sobs filled with sadness.
Jessie’s mother saw that and she was also very unpleasant, her attitude's softened all of a sudden, "Sorry, Jessie, I shouldn't have been mean to you, but I am worried about you. Jessie, did you offend someone outside, that's why you suddenly distribute all your work down and came back?"
"No." Jessie shook her head, "I didn't offend anyone, I just ...... It's just that ...... I'm sorry, Mom, I can't talk about it, can you not ask? Please, don't ask!"
She really couldn't and wouldn't talk about it, and if she told her, her mom would be irritated and break down.
So, she could not really talk about it.
Seeing her daughter being so stubborn and obstinate, Jessie’s mother was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
