Her Mind Is Full of Juicy Gossip
Although she had inherited memories from the original owner, this was still Isabella's first time seeing Rosalie. Rosalie possessed a charming and endearing appearance. Her delicate nose and lips complemented her round, doe-like eyes, which were clear and radiated an innocence unique to youthful college students. Her fair, baby-soft skin appeared tender and smooth to the touch. She resembled a pampered, sheltered princess who hadn't seen much of the world, her naive and innocent nature evident to anyone who saw her. “Chris, didn't you hurt your hand? Stop pulling.” Rosalie sheepishly tried to break free. Christopher promptly dragged Rosalie over to Selena, complaining, “Mom, I just saw Rosie entangled with some hooligan! You should interrogate her properly! Don't let her be fooled by those shady people.” Hearing that, Rosalie was flustered and eagerly tried to explain, but her voice was too soft to be convincing. “Chris! You can't talk about Dom like that. He's not a hooligan! How can you judge a book by its cover? You decided he's a hooligan just because he dyed his hair, wears an earring, and has tattoos?” “At this point, Rosalie's eyes were filled with tears. It was as if she were heartbroken over someone devaluing an artwork she had painstakingly painted. She didn't dare to talk back, yet she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, ““Many artists in the entertainment industry are like this too. Chris, you might not have any tattoos, but you've dyed your hair all sorts of colors!”““ “I wasn't talking about his appearance! I was referring to his behavior! With the way he's acting...” Rosalie's face instantly flushed red. “Chris, stop it!” Christopher didn't know what else to say. Visibly infuriated, he turned around and snapped, “I don't have time for this right now. I'm off to wait for Luna!” He then immediately dashed out.With a disheartened look, Rosalie lowered her head but didn't forget to greet everyone politely. “Mom, Evie, Bella, I'm home. Please don't listen to Chris. Dom is a good man.” The Quirks were rather open-minded, as evidenced by their approach to their children's marital matters. However, they had already learned about the details from Isabella. As Rosalie's family, they couldn't help but view Rosalie's thug-like boyfriend with prejudice. Based on his appearance and behavior, he's a total hooligan! They couldn't picture their sweet, innocent baby standing next to a boy like him. Selena asked anxiously, “When did you start dating behind our backs? Who is he? Is he a student, or is he already working? How long have you known each other?” Evian also frowned and said, “Rosalie, did you send a message to the driver to ask him to pick you up before you got on the plane? Did that man send you back? You should've let us know you were coming back. Did he instruct you not to tell us?” Having been deceived and hurt by men before, Evian was particularly cautious and sensitive in this regard. Rosalie stood in the living room, feeling as though she was under intense interrogation. Although only her mother and sister wore solemn expressions with Isabella nonchalantly enjoying the show, she still felt inexplicably pressured. After all, it was her first time in a relationship, and she was incredibly nervous. “He's Dominic Campos, Madeline's older brother. We've known each other for quite some time,” Rosalie explained and hastily added, “You guys trust Madeline, right?” Upon hearing this, both Selena and Evian felt a bit more at ease. At least he's not someone with an unknown background. Isabella tilted her head. Madeline? Ah, she's Rosalie's college roommate and her best friend. They are as close as sisters. She used to visit the Quirk manor often. Rosalie heard that and was surprised to find out that her usually indifferent sister-in-law knew who Madeline was. Looks like Bella has been secretly paying attention to me. She has indeed changed. Elated, she was about to nod in response to Isabella's words when she noticed the latter wasn't even looking at her, as if she hadn't said anything just now. Selena asked anxiously, “Then when did you two start dating? Why didn't you tell us? You know we won't interfere in your love life. We should at least be informed...” Quickly, Rosalie told her the truth, “I didn't mean to hide this from you all. I only agreed to start dating him during the recent outing.” “I had always been hesitant when he was wooing me before this. But on this trip together, I found out he's actually a nice person. He took good care of our entire team and was always the first one to step up and solve any trouble we ran into. He's brave and responsible.” As she spoke, she began to blush, and her eyes sparkled. She was clearly in love. Selena and Evian were still somewhat worried. After all, love is blind, and they doubted the credibility of Rosalie's words. Selena curiously asked, “Is he also an arts student?” Rosalie honestly replied, “No, he's not. He was temporarily hired by our professor to assist us with our field trip.” No sooner had Rosalie finished speaking than an abrupt voice sounded, interrupting Selena and Evian, who were about to continue asking questions. Pfft! So, all those impressive traits Rosalie mentioned earlier are just part of his job? Immediately, Rosalie looked at Isabella in surprise. Both Selena and Evian also realized what was happening and were about to intervene when Rosalie hastily explained, “But he's really kind and gentle to me. Even when I was clumsy and messed up, he remained patient.” Um... She didn't notice anything wrong? Selena and Evian were bewildered. Since Rosalie wasn't looking at Isabella when she spoke, she assumed the latter was making a snide comment directed at her boyfriend and hurriedly jumped in to defend him.Though Isabella found it a bit odd that Rosalie was suddenly speaking to her, she didn't give it much thought, assuming Rosalie was boasting about her boyfriend and seeking validation. Selena and Evian breathed a sigh of relief, and the former quickly said, “Never mind. Your dad and brother aren't home right now. Let's talk about this after they return home tonight. You've just arrived home. Why don't you take a rest first?” Rosalie obediently nodded. Evian hurriedly followed her younger sister upstairs, planning to find an opportunity to tell her about Isabella's situation. After learning about it, Rosalie sat on the bed, wearing a blank expression as she stared at Evian with wide eyes. “What are you talking about, Evie? Evian sighed helplessly. “You'll understand once you experience it yourself. I just hope you won't be too shocked and alert Bella. For now, only those in our family can hear it.” Rosalie asked, “If that's really the case, why can't we let Bella know that we can hear her?” Evian let out a sigh, “We're worried that if Bella finds out about such a bizarre situation, it might backfire on her. Besides, no one would want their innermost thoughts heard by others, right? Even though we've received a lot of help from her inner thoughts, and... had fun listening about the gossip, Alex has been secretly seeking a priest, hoping to find an effective solution. At the very least, we hope Bella's inner thoughts won't be leaked in the future. It's better if she can keep her thoughts to herself.” Rosalie didn't quite understand, but she still obediently nodded. Evian patted Rosalie's head, then spoke in the most serious tone. “Remember, this is Bella's secret. Never mention a word of this to anyone. If mishandled, Bella could be in danger.” It was rare for Evian to speak in such a manner, so naturally, Rosalie nodded seriously. However, she still held doubts about this matter. Following that, Evian, still uneasy, asked about the progress between Rosalie and her boyfriend. Knowing they hadn't crossed any boundaries and done anything they shouldn't, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Rosalie's cell phone buzzed almost instantly, and just by looking at her expression, Evian could tell it was her boyfriend who was calling. The young girl looked at Evian with puppy dog eyes, and the latter was about to leave and give her some space when a sudden wail came from downstairs. Was that... Christopher's voice?
