Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 44 Attempt To Mediate 

Upon hearing this. Rosalie’s eyes instantly filled with tears. Her nose reddened, due to her tendency to easily cry. She was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t even utter a word of rebuttal. Tears began to swirl in her eyes, her lips quivering pitifully. 

Isabella thought. What a disaster! I can’t bear to see Rosie cry. Alexander has been way too harsh on her.” 

Alexander thought, I simply offered a suggestion and even did so in a calm manner. 

Isabella thought. Today, I sat two people from the Quirk family crying already. 

David and Alexander thought. Who else cried? 

Christopher then coughed awkwardly. 

Isabella thought. Do all their family members have a tendency to cry so much? Moreover, it’s always over matters of 

the heart. 

Rosalie was on the verge of tears. 

Christopher and Evian averted their gazes awkwardly. 

David and Selena thought, No, absolutely not, we never… Well, perhaps… sometimes. 

Suddenly, David gave Selena a nudge, giving her a pitiful look. You made me cry when we were young. 

Selena glared back at him. It was you who upset me first. 

As the only man in the Quirk family who had never shed tears over love, Alexander sat proudly with his head held high. 

Perhaps Alexander has shed tears too. After all, he has been dumped before, hasn’t he? Ah, I missed it. I really wanted see how this extraordinary man looks when he cries. It must be hilarious. If he ever cries again, I will make sure to capture it! 

The more Isabella thought about it, the happier she became.

The expression on Alexander’s face increasingly darkened. Using Rosalie’s topic, he continued, “If you disagree, you can voice your opinion. Keep your emotions in check. Don’t cry. I haven’t shed a tear since I was six, so you should learn from me. Don’t be like Chris, who cries at the drop of a bat over love.” 

Christopher thought, Hey, hey, hey, what did I do? Why am I getting attacked for no good reason? 

Rosalie thought, I feel like crying, but my emotions are all over the place, thanks to Bella’s chaotic thoughts and Alex’s strange reprimand. Now, the tears just won’t come out. 

Upon hearing this, a twitch tugged at the corner of Isabella’s mouth. Has he lost his mind? Why would a sweet. young girl want to emulate a tough, dense guy like him? 

Rosalie thought, Mmm–hmm, Bella is absolutely right. 

Alexander thought, No, I just want to emphasize that I’ve ever shed tears for any other woman. Pry attention to 

1/4 

what’s important! Also, if you’re hoping to see me cry, that’s never going to happen. 

The sudden segue had actually managed to lighten the mood among the crowd. 

Rosalie sniffled, managing not to break down into tears. She retorted, “Since our family doesn’t look down on him, what’s the problem?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

With a serious tone, Alexander replied, “Your values are different. You believe that what matters most between people is their relationship, not their status or rank, but he emphasized this point as soon as he started dating you. Didn’t he know about the differences between you two before he pursued you?” 

“Can’t he be feeling insecure due to his inferiority complex from liking me too much?” 

“He can, but if he truly cherished you, he wouldn’t have brought it up in front of you. This kind of behavior can only lead to one outcome, putting us at odds before he even meets your family. It’s like how you started defending him in our presence before we even said anything.” Alexander spoke with such conviction that one couldn’t help but listen. 

It was likely due to the troubled relationships Evian and Christopher had gone through. 

As the only person in the family who wasn’t swayed by emotions, he finally abandoned his principle of non–interference. 

Rosalie was taken aback by the words. It seemed as though she understood something, yet she couldn’t help but feel the urge to retort. Thus, she fell into deep thought for quite a while. 

“Alex, Dom isn’t as exceptional or intelligent as you are. How can you expect him to live up to your standards?” 

For a moment, Alexander was stumped by his innocent sister. 

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. 

In truth, even if one came from a poor, they shouldn’t be dismissed as long as they were willing to work hard, strive for improvement, and be nurtured properly. After all, one’s values could be shaped with time. 

Isabella thought, Who would have thought she would have such a sharp tongue, it’s rare to see Alexander at a loss for 

words, haha. 

Rosalie felt rather pleased at being complimented. 

With a sense of helplessness, Alexander turned his gaze toward Isabella. How can she not support me at a time 

like this? 

Isabella blinked innocently. Alexander, have you out of options with Rosalie and now you’re turning to me for help? You must really be desperate. What can I say? Could I possibly tell say that from what I’ve just observed that young man seems to subconsciously be fitting the Quirk family against him?” 

All the Quirks were shocked. 

Rosalie was instantly flustered. No way, why could Dom do that? 

Isabella naturally wouldn’t speak recklessly, but she thoughts were not restrained in the same way. 

2/4 

It’s unclear whether that young man did it on purpose or not. All Rosalie said was that she wanted to inform her family about her relationship. However, Dominic responded by telling her that her family was treating her like a child, which isn’t typical. He suggested that this is the reason why she hasn’t done things that were common for people her age, like smoking, dyeing her hair, getting into fights, hanging out in internet cafes, or going to bars…. 

Rosalie was momentarily stunned, as if just realizing that those words were an attempt to sow discord between her and her own family. 

But Dom said that merely to protect me. Additionally, what he said isn’t wrong. I haven’t experienced all those things before. Even Maddie commented that I haven’t lived my youth to its fullest. 

Isabella thought, Hmm… I mean, there are plenty of twenty–year–old female university students who haven’t gone through many experiences too, aren’t there? 

Rosalie froze. Is… is that so? 

Isabella thought, Moreover, why must Rosalie undergo the same experiences as him to be considered normal? Rosalie has also attended high school. Using the same logic, wouldn’t it be abnormal for his family to not allow him to go to high school? 

Rosalie was stunned, her mind tangled in confusion, leaving her speechless for a moment. 

Isabella thought, Could it be that due to his insecurities, he is condemning her just to boost their own confidence? Isabella’s mind rambled on and on, and by the time she finished, Rosalie was left in a daze. 

Isabella noticed the room had fallen silent. Is everyone waiting for me to speak? 

Left with no choice, she could only attempt to mediate “Well, since none of us really know Rosalie’s boyfriend, it’s not fair to make any judgments. Why don’t we arrange for him to meet the family? That should clear things up.” 

Rosalie, however, wavered in her stance as she stood up. “I… I’m tired. I’m going to rest,” 

Isabella wondered, Huh? Wasn’t she bravely confronting Alexander just a moment ago? Why has she suddenly given 

Rosalie left as fast as she could. 

Naturally, everyone else began to disperse. However, before Isabella could get up, David patted her on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction. 

Isabella was puzzled by the gesture. 

Following this, Selena, Evian, and even Christopher patted her back. 

Isabella quietly glanced at her own shoulder, ensuring that it wasn’t dirty. Then, she lifted her gaze toward 

Alexander. 

In the end, Alexander gave Isabella a pat on the shoulder. “Well said.” 

Huh? What did I say? Wasn’t I simply trying to find common round? 

Confused, Isabella returned to her room with her mind full of questions. As she passed by Rosalie’s room, 

3/4 

she heard the sound of a conversation. 

It seems she’s on the phone. Ah, first love. It’s not going to be easy to end it. 

Christopher and David went together to Alexander’s study. 

In truth, when Rosalie first chose to live on the university campus, Alexander had conducted a simple investigation on her roommate, Madeline. He made sure that Madeline’s family was an ordinary family with no criminal records. That was as far as he went, as he wouldn’t pry into others privacy, After all, it was important for Rosalie to learn to judge the good from the bad on her own. 

However, when it came to her partner, the subject undoubtedly required closer examination. 

After a brief discussion, the men of the Quirk family came up with a solution. 

The following morning, Christopher stopped Rosalie, who was trying to avoid them during breakfast. “Why are you running away?” 

“No… no, I’d prefer to eat in my room,” Rosalie said. She wasn’t as emotional as she had been the previous night, but she still felt like being alone. 

The gleam in Alexander’s eyes dimmed. 

David said, “Ahem, we won’t force you to break up if you don’t want to. Since he’s currently jobless, let’s have him join our company. This way, Alex can get to know your boyfriend a little better.” 

Rosalie looked at Alexander in disbelief. “R–Really?” 

Alexander nodded. “Bella has made a good point. We need to fully understand the situation before we can offer you any advice.” 

Rosalie’s face lit up with joy. “Alright, I’ll speak to him right away. If he’s willing, when should he start?” Watching their younger sister so enthusiastic toward another man unsettled the Quirk brothers. “He can start today. I’ll notify the HR department,” Alexander said before standing up and leaving. Filled with joy, Rosalie went back to her room to make a phone call.. 

When Isabella emerged for brunch, she learned about the incident and even received a word of thanks from Rosalie. 

Isabella’s comment was just a casual remark, but Alexander’s approach was actually quite good. 

By the time noon arrived, the sound of intense sobbing could be heard emanating from Rosalie’s art studio. 

When Selena and Isabella rushed into the room, Rosalie had already thrown herself into her mother’s arms, crying as if the world was falling apart. 

“Mom, Dom broke up with me! It’s because Alex insulted him, he said he doesn’t deserve me…” she sobbed.
