Chapter 48 Give Up

Evian hadn't expected Rosalie to remain so stubborn even then. Looking at Rosalie in disbelief, she asked. "Are

you really willing to ruin your future and waste your talent for a man who refuses to take responsibility?"

"Someone's talent is innate. Even if | don't go elsewhere, | have the talent. With my skills, | don't need to leave

this country to create achievements!" Rosalie tried to speak firmly, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling-

Selena looked at Rosalie in utter disbelief. "During this time, have you been seriously practicing your painting?"

A wave of guilt instantly washed over Rosalie's face.

Even Carmen couldn't help but say, "Rosalie, you are indeed talented but not a genius. Your talent requires a

substantial amount of time, money, effort, and learning to cultivate before it can potentially lead to success. |

assumed that given your previous level of effort, you understood your situation and knew these principles well.

Carmen's words made Rosalie feel even more embarrassed. Instinctively, she wanted to speak up in her defense.

Hearing that, Isabella thought, Well, the old Rosalie would have understood this principle for sure. It's different

now. She didn't cup with those words. Her boyfriend, whom she blindly trusts and relies on, cup with

those words. He has managed to convince her. Rosalie has becDominic's most devoted believer, even

accepting such irresponsible words as her creed. It's frightening when one becomes a hopeless romantic.

Immediately, Rosalie lost her temper out of embarrassment and glared at Isabella. I'm not like that! I just think

Dominic's words make sense. | made the decision based on my own will.

When Isabella noticed Rosalie's gaze on her, she thought it was because she had remained silent for so long and

that Rosalie was expecting her to speak up for her.

Therefore, Isabella immediately averted Rosalie's gaze. Are you kidding me? | usually just give up on advising

someone who is a hopeless romantic after the first failure. Only your closest kin would risk their sanity

repeatedly, trying to pull you out of your mess. | don't want to meddle in other people's business and end up

being the bad guy.

Rosalie was taken aback. She had assumed that Isabella's sarcastic remarks were meant to lecture her, criticize

her, and push her to change her mind. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Isabella simply didn't care at all.

This unexpectedly left Rosalie unable to cope with her defiant mindset, and she couldn't help wondering if her

family was trying to pull her out of her mess.

Rosalie tried to gather her thoughts, but the image of Dominic's domineering and resolute face flashed through

her mind, causing her thoughts to retreat once more.

Carmen also let out a sigh, asking, "Rosalie, are you worried that going elsewhere and having a long-distance

relationship might lead to a breakup?"

Even though that was the case, for sreason, when Rosalie faced Carmen's questioning, she felt a moment of

embarrassment. It seemed as if, for such reasons, her artistic creations had been insulted.

"Mom, Evian, Prof. Wilcok, I'm sorry. | know I've let you all down, but | can't give up. Our reconciliation is hard-

won, and this relationship didn't ceasy. | have to cherish it," Rosalie said.

Looking into Rosalie's eyes, one could see a resolve that was reminiscent of someone bravely standing against

the world for the sake of love.

Her words nearly gave the two Quirk family members a cerebral hemorrhage.

Isabella felt fortunate that she was just a bystander in the situation. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly have

been unable to control her urge to knock ssense into the fool.

Even Carmen, the outsider, almost couldn't keep her composure at that moment. "You know, when you're young,

you firmly believe that love is grand. But Rosalie, when you truly love someone, you often feel indebted to them.

The right person will always wish for your bright future and would never hold you back for their own selfish

desires." Property of No) (velDr(a)ma.Org.

Rosalie hurriedly defended Dominic by saying, "He's not holdingback. He just loves me. He simply wants to

be with me."

Hearing that, Isabella thought, Pfft! Her

brother is a prexample! Is Rosalie blind? Look at Christopher. Once he truly fell in love, even if it meant

moving to a foreign land, even if he knew deep down that his beloved had chosen to dedicate herself to scientific

research and would never look back, he still wanted to at least see her face occasionally, He even moved his

entire business there for this reason. How does that compare to your so-called true love? Hah! If he truly loved

you, how could he possibly use this as an excuse to threaten a breakup?

Isabella's lucid remarks finally allowed the Quirks to breathe a sigh of relief.

Rosalie was stung by the sarcasm, but her rebellious spirit only intensified. She felt compelled to find a

reason to rebut.

Hence, Rosalie said, "Love requires compromise, and it requires mutual sacrifice. Dominic and | are in love. It's

not a one-sided love. It's entirely voluntary, | am willing to compromise for him."

Well, I'll be d*mned, Isabella thought.

"And what about him? What has he given up for you?" Selena couldn't take it anymore.

Rosalie said, "If it wasn't for his affection for me, he would never have set aside his pride to reconcile with me

after such humiliation!"

At that moment, the silence among everyone was deafening.

Carmen was genuinely terrified that a calamity might occur in her own office. After all, she couldn't afford. to

offend these people. All she could do was to offer his earnest advice

Therefore, she said, "Now, you're giving up such a great opportunity to learn. | can't say for certain that your

future won't be successful, but to catch up with the progress on this path, you'll likely have to put in ten times

the effort. | hope you consider this carefully and remember to love yourself before you love others.

Isabella had assumed that both Selena and Evian would continue to speak, but it seemed as if their hearts had

truly grown cold, and they were tired.

They simply took the application form, led Rosalie away, and planned to head home.

It wasn't until Rosalie got in the car that she realized all the items she had left behind in her dorm were there

with her.

Finally, Rosalie's expression changed. "What is this all about?"

Evian said, "I've canceled your dorm for you. From now on, you'll be living at home."

Rosalie immediately began to protest anxiously

However, Selena cut her off by saying, ""In the Quirk family, there's never been a precedent for unmarried

cohabitation."

"W-What does it matter? Your way of thinking is outdated. We're in a new era now-"

Evian couldn't help but say, "You're still a university student! You're not engaged, and you haven't met each

other's parents. Do you understand what it means to live together before marriage? Even if you two truly have a

future together, aren't you afraid of being looked down upon and disrespected by his family? People won't see

your love as something magnificent. They'll only think you lack self-respect!"

Evian was the most qualified to say those words. Back then, due to an unexpected incident, she found herself

pregnant before marriage, and from then on, she could never hold her head high in front of her ex-husband. She

woke up from this nightmare countless times, filled with regret. She didn't wish for her younger sister to follow

the spath she did.

"Eviel" Rosalie's tears flowed freely. The words she'd heard had pushed her beyond her limits, causing her entire

body to shake with sobs.

However, she was determined to maintain her dignity. Therefore, she bit her lower lip hard, not making a sound,

and stared at Evian with wide eyes. It was as if she was silently reproaching Evian for hurting her.

Exhausted, Evian didn't want to speak anymore. Surprisingly, Rosalie was even more obstinate than she had

been in the past.

The atmosphere inside the car was stifling, a silence prevailing throughout the entire ride home.

As soon as Selena stepped out of the car, she was tempted to confiscate Rosalie's phone by force. However,

such an act had never been done in the Quirk family, leaving her feeling hesitant and restrained. Meanwhile,

Rosalie hastily retreated to her room, locking herself In truth, children raised in such a familial atmosphere would

generally turn out to be good-hearted. They could live a carefree and joyful life. Even if they weren particularly

astute, they wouldn't make any major mistakes as long as they could lead a fulfilling life. Ironically, the children

of the Quirk family really had terrible luck when it cto their romantic destinies. They all fell short in this

aspect.

After that, Selena and Evian began to get in touch with the other family members at home.

Isabella, having nothing to do, returned to her room first. The doors to the open-style balcony of her room were

left open, and she was just about to close them.

Suddenly, she saw a wad of paper flying out from the direction of the neighboring balcony.

Looking at the crumpled piece of paper faintly shimmering with gold markings, it greatly resembled an
