Chapter 48 Give Up
Evian hadn’t expected Rosalie to remain so stubborn even then. Looking <b>at </b>Rosalie in disbelief, she asked. “Are you really willing to ruin your future and waste your talent for a man who <b>refuses </b>to take responsibility?”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Someone’s talent is innate. Even if I don’t go elsewhere, I have the talent. With my skills, I 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 <b>wave </b>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 sess. I 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, <b>she </b>wanted to speak up in her defense.
Hearing that, Isabe thought, Well, the old Rosalie <b>would </b>have understood this principle <i>for </i>sure. <i>It’s </i>different now. She didn’te up with those words. Her boyfriend, whom she blindly trusts and relies on, came up with those words. <i>He </i>has managed to convince her. Rosalie has be Dominic’s most devoted believer, even epting <i>such </i>irresponsible words as her creed. <i>It’s </i>frightening when one bes a hopeless romantic.
Immediately, Rosalie lost her temper out of embarrassment and red at Isabe. I’m not like that<i>! </i><i>I </i><i>just </i>think Dominic’s words make sense. I made the decision based on my own <b>will</b><i>.</i>
When <b>Isabe </b>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, Isabe immediately averted Rosalie’s gaze. Are you kidding me? <i>I </i>usually just give up on advising someone who is a hopeless romantic after the first <i>failure</i>. Only your closest kin <i>would </i>risk their sanity <i>repeatedly</i>, trying to <i>pull </i>you out <i>of </i><i>your </i>mess<b>. </b>I don’t want to <i>meddle </i><i>in </i><i>other </i>people’s business and <i>end </i>up being the <i>bad </i><i>guy</i>.
Rosalie was taken aback. She had assumed that Isabe’s sarcastic remarks were meant to lecture her, criticize her, and push her to change her mind. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Isabe simply didn’t care <b>at </b>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<b>, </b>but the image of Dominic’s domineering and resolute face shed through her mind, causing her thoughts to retreat once more.
Carmen also let <b>out </b>a sigh, asking, “Rosalie, are you worried that going elsewhere and having a long- distance rtionship might lead to <b>a </b>breakup?”
Even though that was the <b>case</b>, for some reason, when Rosalie faced Carmen’s questioning, she felt a moment of embarrassment. It seemed <b>as </b>if, <b>for </b><b>such </b><b>reasons</b>, her artistic <b>creations </b>had been insulted.

“Mom, Evian<b>, </b>Prof. Wilcok, I’m sorry. I know I’ve let you all down, but I can’t give up. Our reconciliation is hard–won, and this rtionship didn’te easy. I 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.
Isabe felt fortunate that she was just a bystander in the situation. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly have been unable to control her urge to knock some sense into the fool.
Even Carmen, the outsider, almost couldn’t keep herposure 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.”
Rosalie hurriedly defended Dominic by saying, “He’s not holding me back. He just loves me. He simply wants to be with me.”
Hearing that, Isabe thought, <i>Pfft</i>! <i>Her </i>brother is a prime example! Is Rosalie blind? Look at Christopher. Once he truly fell in love, even <i>if </i><i>it </i>meant moving to a foreignnd, even <i>if </i>he knew deep down that his beloved had chosen to dedicate herself <i>to </i>scientific research and would never look back, he still wanted to at least see her face asionally, He even moved his entire business there for this reason. How does thatpare to your so–called true love? Hah! <i>If </i><i>he </i>truly loved you, how could he possibly use this <b>as </b>an excuse to threaten a breakup?
Isabe’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 feltpelled to find a
reason to rebut.
Hence, Rosalie said, “Love requirespromise, and it requires mutual sacrifice. Dominic and I are in love. It’s not a one–sided love. It’s entirely voluntary, I am willing topromise for him.”
Well, I’ll <i>be </i><i>d</i>*mned, Isabe thought.
“<b>And </b>what about him? What has he given up for you?” Selena couldn’t take it anymore.
Rosalie said, “If it <b>wasn’t </b>for his affection for me, he would never have set aside his pride to reconcile with me after such humiliation!”
At <b>that </b>moment, the silence among everyone was deafening.
Carmen was genuinely terrified that a cmity might ur in her own office. After all, she couldn’t afford. <b>to </b>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. I can’t say for certain <b>that </b>your future won’t be sessful, but to <b>catch </b>up with the progress on this path, you’ll likely have <b>to </b>put in ten times the effort. I hope you consider <b>this </b>carefully and remember to love yourself before you love others.
Isabe had assumed that both Selena and Evian would continue to speak, but it seemed <b>as </b>if their hearts had truly <b>grown </b>cold, and they were tired.
They simply took the application form, led Rosalie away, and nned 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 <b>protest </b>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<b>? </b>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 youck self–respect!”
Evian was the most qualified to say those words. Back then, due to an unexpected incident, she found herself pregnant before marriage, <b>and </b>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 same path 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, <b>a </b>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.
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 <b>weren </b>particrly astute, they wouldn’t make any major mistakes <b>as </b>long <b>as </b>they could <b>lead </b>a fulfilling life.
Ironically, the children of the Quirk family really <b>had </b>terrible luck when it came to 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.
Isabe, having nothing to do, returned to her room first. The doors to the open–style <b>balcony </b>of her room were left open, and she <b>was </b>just about to close them.
Suddenly, she <b>saw </b><b>a </b>wad of paper flying out from the direction of the neighboring balcony.
Looking <b>at </b>the crumpled piece of paper faintly shimmering with gold markings, it greatly resembled an
