“How can you tell me to calm down after what we all witnessed tonight? Don't you think we should be worried?” Jay asked Ariella with a frown.Ariella bit her lower lip, trying to fight the conflicting thoughts within her, “I don't think we should, baby, see, I spoke to my parents and they convinced me that everything Ethan did at the art exhibition center wasn't real. He was only trying to get us to fall for his tricks yet again,” Ariella tried to convince Jay with her parents’ explanation.As soon as Jay heard Ariella’s words, he relaxed slightly.
