    Rosie let out a long sigh, saying with a helpless tone, “Everyone thinks Lucas is bossing me around for


    my own good, but no one really cares about how I feel or what I truly want.”


    Cornelia suggested, “If you don’t want him control you, you could try having a serious chat with him I


    thinkmunication is key in any rtionship. Any issues should be addressed promptly, or it could


    cause problems”


    Rosie shook her head, “It’s no use I’ve tried talking to him countless times, telling him to stop meddling


    in my affairs. I want to take care of my own stuff. But he justughs it off, thinking I’m throwing a


    tantrum”


    Cornelia pondered for a moment, “Maybe you could try talking to your parents, let them handle Lucas.


    It might have a different effect!


    At the mention of her parents, Rosie shook her head even more, “My parents are the reason Lucas


    takes care of me.”


    Cornelia, intrigued, asked, “How so?”


    Rosie continued, “Our families have known each other for generations. When I was still in my mother’s


    belly, the elders of both families agreed that if ! were a girl, I would be engaged to Lucas. When I was


    born and turned out to be a girl, the elders were over the moon and immediately arranged a marriage


    for us. So, even when I was still in my mother’s belly, my life was tied to Lucas.”


    Cornelia said, “I’ve heard before that you two were engaged from a very young age and have known


    each other since birth. Didn’t think it was actually true. I think it’s a rather pure rtionship, knowing


    each other inside and out, and not having to worry about deceit.”


    Rosie said, “I don’t mind growing up together, what I don’t like is Lucas treating me like a child. From


    the moment I was born, they told Lucas, who was only four at the time, that I was the one he would


    marry and he should treat me well. He’s a responsible person, so he promised to take care of me and


    has been doing so ever since.


    “I’ve been under his care since I was little, got married to him as soon as I was of age, even before I


    graduated from college. In their eyes, I’m just a spoiled little girl who lives a pampered life, clueless


    about the hardships of the world. Without Lucas, I wouldn’t even survive, so they think it’s right for him


    to control me.


    “I’ve tried expressing my desire for freedom, for making my own decisions, but no one listens. I


    gradually stopped resisting and became the person they wanted me to be, not working, shopping with


    Lucas’s credit card, buying anything I wanted without considering the price.”


    Cornelia said, “I’m not sure whether you’reining or bragging. Your life is what I’ve been


    dreaming of.”


    Hannah chimed in, “Me too.”


    Rosie continued. That kind of life is easy, but it’s also very empty, especially when Lucas is too busy


    with work to spend time with me.”


    Cornelia suggested, “Then you could make more friends. When Lucas is not around, you could go out


    to eat, have drinks with your friends, that might make your life more fulfilling.”

    Rosie retorted, “That won’t work either. Lucas is very strict about my diet, I absolutely can’t eat


    anything he doesn’t allow. The other night, I was having dinner with him and his clients. The table was


    loaded with gourmet food, but I didn’t have any appetite, so I hardly ate anything. After dinner, when he


    was seeing off his clients. I saw a snack stand nearby. The delicious smell made me hungry, so I went


    to buy some.”
