Chapter 43 I Suggest You Two Break Up
Rosalie was taken aback for a moment. Dominic had never been so harsh with her before. However, knowing he was just concerned about her, she quickly replied, “I’m sorry, Dom. I was held up with something so I missed your call.”
“Is your brother giving you a hard time because of our relationship?” he asked, worried.
“Don’t worry, Dom, I’m fine. Chris just has a quick temper, that’s all. He’s just mad because I didn’t tell them about my relationship in advance. Everything will be fine once I formally explain it to them.”
Dominic’s disdainful voice echoed through the phone. Why is he still meddling in your affairs when you’re not a child anymore? Rosie, you must remember that you’re an adult, an independent and free spirit. You have the right to make your own decisions and don’t have to tell them about everything.”
“I’m the youngest in the family. They just care about me,” Rosalie said with an innocent smile. “Oh right, my eldest sister just told me ”
She stopped short. Instinctively, she wanted to share Isabella’s interesting secret with her boyfriend but decided against it upon remembering Evian’s warning
“What?”
“Um… Nothing”
Dominic grumbled, clearly upset, “Are you keeping something from me? We’re a couple. There shouldn’t. be any secrets between us. After all, we’ll share the rest of our lives with each other. Look at me, I keep no secrets from you. I tell you everything you want to know. You should also be completely open with me. It saddens me to know you keep things from me. Looks like I love you more than you love me.” Ads by PubFuture
Rosalie’s face turned red as she hurriedly clarified, “No, that’s not it.”
She hesitated for a moment, but her deep–rooted good upbringing prevented her from spilling the beans.
Of course I can confide my secrets to Dom without hesitation, but.., this is not my secret.
Rosalie’s hesitation made Dominic feel uneasy and tried sounding her out, “I see. Do your family members look down on me? Do they think I’m not good enough for you?”
Rosalie was taken aback. “How could you think like that? You’re exceptional!”
“Hah. You’re the heiress of Quirk Group, and I’m nothing more than a poor person in your family’s eyes.” Dominic sneered.
In an instant, Rosalie grew anxious, terrified that her boyfriend would misunderstand her family members and feel hurt. She quickly reassured him, “My family doesn’t care about that. All that matters is that I love you.”
“Is that so? But it doesn’t matter if they don’t agree. We’re in love anyway. I’ve chosen you, and no one can tear us apart, Dominic declared assertively.
Hearing that, Rosalie felt extremely shy and responded with a soft hum.

In the evening, the entire family gathered around the dinner table for the first time..
Rosalie was happy to get to know her nephew, Callahan, and gave him many gifts and snacks, delighted. that she was no longer the youngest in the family.
It wasn’t until Evian had tucked the boy in that everyone gathered in the living room to talk.
The topic of conversation was naturally Rosalie’s love life.
After David and Alexander returned, they gathered information from various sources, gaining a basic understanding of the situation.
Apparently, Dominic made a terrible first impression on Christopher, so he immediately complained about the former behaving indecently in public, having no respect toward Rosalie at all. After all, as a man himself, he understood the mindset of other men.
However, that wasn’t necessarily a problem. After all, it was common for young lovers nowadays to be intimate in public. It could be explained as they couldn’t help it. Ads by PubFuture
So, they decided not to discuss this matter for the time being.
After some thought, David sked curiously, “You mentioned that your professor hired him temporarily. Looks like he has plenty of free time on his hands. Doesn’t he have a regular job?”
Rosalie said, “He’s planning to start his own art gallery, He’s currently self–studying the necessary knowledge and waiting for Madeline and I to graduate from university so he can host exhibitions for us and distribute our artwork.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the family was taken aback, except for Isabella.
With a puzzled expression, Selena asked, “Didn’t you always say art is priceless? That your paintings will be exhibited for free and are not for sale?”
Rosalie paused for a moment and chuckled. “Haha, I only said that because I was young and naive. The more money my art fetches, the more it means people appreciate it! Plus, Dom told me that the money from selling my art can be donated to charity, which makes it even more meaningful.”
The entire family fell silent. She’s not wrong, because that how the world is right now. But something just doesn’t feel right.
While the Quirks were deep in thought, Isabella’s mind had wandered elsewhere. So he’s currently unemployed? Can he even support himself?
As soon as she heard that, Rosalie immediately turned to look at Isabella, her eyes filled with disbelief. It’s true! I really can hear her thoughts!
The others quickly cleared their throats to remind Rosalie to keep it a secret.
However, Isabella’s words painted out something important to them.
“What does he live on now?” Christopher immediately questioned, “He isn’t mooching off his parents, or perhaps, mooching off you, is he?”
Rosalie was agitated, her body taut as she sat on the couch. “Chris, why must you put it that way? Besides,

we’ve only just started dating. How could I possibly ask him about his living conditions or how he makes money? That’s just bizarre. However, I do know that he rents a place outside and occasionally takes up some part–time work at our university. He has to spend most of his time learning about and getting to know this industry.”
“Does his original field of study have nothing to do with the profession he’s planning on going after?” asked David.
Rosalie hesitated for a moment before shaking her head timidly. “He… didn’t) a vocational school…
to university. He attended
Not only did he never attend university, but he also never went to high school. Which means he has been out of school for many years. Isabella mused. She wasn’t looking down on Dominic and was merely stating the facts that Rosalie hadn’t revealed.
However, all the Quirks‘ expressions changed when they heard Isabella’s thoughts, except for Alexander.
Though they had never interfered with their children’s romantic affairs, the difference between Dominic and Rosalie was just too vast. Our precious baby is so innocent… We can’t just…
From that moment on, all the Quirks were on edge..
Upon hearing Isabella’s thoughts, Rosalie pursed her lips and glanced anxiously between her family. members. “Education doesn’t define character,” she began worriedly. “It’s not like he didn’t want to continue studying. His family’s financial situation was limited, and they have to support Maddie’s art studies, so he couldn’t continue his own. You aren’t going to look down on him, think of him as lower class, and oppose my relationship with him, are you?”
The Quirks found themselves stumped by that question. Their usual principles conflicted Rosalie’s worries.
Suddenly, Alexander asked, “Why would you think that?”
Rosalie froze, seemingly unsure as to why Alexander would ask such a question. The others also didn’t
catch on.
The expression on Alexander’s face remained indifferent. The Rosie I know would never think that way. Who misled you?”
Although his tone was gentle, his words were like a stone dropped into water, creating ripples that gradually changed the expressions on everyone’s faces.
“No… No one. Isn’t this just common logic?” Rosalie saw Alexander’s stern face and immediately panicked.
Isabella sighed. Silly girl. Judging from your guilty expression, I don’t even need to look it up to know it must be your boyfriend who led you to believe that.
Upon hearing those thoughts, Rosalie became even more flustered, “Um…” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Looks like she isn’t adept at lying. Just look at how flustered she is. Isabella observed. Rosalie sobbed inwardly. Please stop talking. You’re making me even more nervous.
However, before she had a chance to calm down, Alexander spoke bluntly. “You two aren’t right for each
