Chapter 178
Just as she was immersed in her emotions, the phone rang. It was Joseph. "Carol, where are you? Don't let those online rumors get to you. Stay strong."
"Joseph, stop harassing me. If you keep this up, I'll really call the police."
"I'm not harassing you, I'm just concerned about you. I want to tell you that no matter what, I'll always be on your side supporting you."
"I don't need your help; I can solve my own problems."
"Carol, don't be like this. I know you're feeling down right now, but I can help you get through this tough time. My heart is always with you."
"Stop being so cheesy. What do you really want to say? If there's nothing, I'm hanging up!" Caroline said irritably.
"Where are you now? Have you eaten? I'll take you out for a good meal."
"I'm on set filming; I'll handle my own meals."
"That's not right, I'm at the film studio and I heard your crew has stopped working. Are you lying to me?"
"What are you doing there? Don't you have to work? Why are you always following me?" Caroline questioned.
"I saw the stuff online and was worried you'd be stressed, so I came to comfort you, but you weren't here. Where are you? I'll come find you."
"No need, and I won't tell you. I'm hanging up." Caroline hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up, she still felt upset, so she turned off her phone and went to sleep.
She was very tired lately, and although she was in a bad mood, she quickly fell asleep.
Caroline was woken up by the doorbell and instinctively jumped out of bed. Looking through the peephole, she saw it was the receptionist from earlier, Isabella Taylor.
Opening the door, Isabella glanced around the room with a strange expression on her face.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?" Isabella asked.
"I'm not hungry, thank you." Caroline smiled and thanked her.
"Do you superstars have very particular eating habits?" Isabella asked curiously.
"I'm just an ordinary actress. I don't know what a superstar's life is like."
"But you are a superstar now; you're really famous. If you don't mind, I can get you something from the hotel restaurant. What do you like to eat? Our restaurant is pretty good."
Isabella's enthusiasm touched Caroline. After all, she had become the target of everyone's scorn, and it was rare to meet someone so kind to her.
"Really, there's no need, thank you. If I want to eat, I'll get it myself."
"Don't be polite, it won't cost much anyway. By the way, stars have to manage their diet to maintain their figure, right? So what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Caroline kept saying no, but Isabella insisted on getting her food. She seemed like a very persistent girl.
"Alright, thank you so much. I actually just need some vegetables and bread."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Soon, Isabella returned with the food. She had chosen healthy, low-calorie dishes: stir-fried broccoli and boiled eggs.
"Thank you, you're very thoughtful."
"Can I eat with you? I bought two portions."
"Sure, let's eat together."
"Let's take a photo to commemorate this."
The two of them took a photo holding their meal boxes.
"How long have you been with Sway?" Isabella asked while eating.
"There's really nothing between us; we're just friends."
"But you two look so good together. You're very beautiful, totally a match for Sway."
"But there's really nothing between us."
"I'm a very rational fan, I wouldn't oppose you two being together."
Isabella remained stubborn, and Caroline realized she couldn't change her mind, so she let it go.
After finishing the meal, Isabella cleaned up and left. She came by two more times, each time just looking around the room before leaving.
Caroline felt something was off. Although Isabella was very enthusiastic, she had a strange feeling about her.
Caroline stayed in the hotel all day.
By evening, Caroline couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to see her kids, having not seen them for two days. So she called Nick and said she wanted to see the kids.
Nick agreed immediately, saying he would arrange to take her and the kids to a secluded place to eat, so she could see them.
Caroline's mood improved, as long as she could see her kids, nothing else mattered.
But she was also worried, what if someone recognized her and scared the kids? Just then, Nick called again, hesitatingly saying it wasn't convenient, and she couldn't see the kids today.
Caroline understood it must be Nathan's decision. Nathan didn't agree, and Nick didn't dare to defy him. After all, with such a big incident just happening, Nick didn't dare to be stubborn.
"Alright, I won't see them today, maybe tomorrow. I'm in the center of public opinion right now, I don't want to implicate the kids."
"Carol, where are you? Even if you can't see the kids, you can see me, right? Seeing a handsome guy like me will improve your mood."
"I'm not in the mood. Bye." Caroline hung up the phone.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again, and it was Isabella. She had changed shifts, wearing a beautiful dress and exquisite makeup.
"Hasn't he come yet?" Isabella asked Caroline directly.
"Who? Who's supposed to come?" Caroline was confused.
"Sway, when is he coming?"
Caroline instantly understood. Isabella had stayed because she thought Sawyer would come here.
"Sorry, he's not coming. I've already said we're just friends."
Isabella's expression changed, but she still didn't give up. "It's still early; he might come later?"
