Chapter 51 Perverted Siblings.
There was an eerie silence right after that.
The Quirks nearly leaped to their feet from the couch in unison. What? Elope?

Isabella could sense a ripple of emotion from those sharing the couch with her. But when she glanced around, everyone was still seated, unmoving. Their eyes were locked on Rosalie, likely stunned by the absurdity of what she had just said.
At that moment, Rosalic’s face was a picture of confusion. She hadn’t anticipated that Isabella would somehow know about the agreement that hadn’t even been formalized yet.
She didn’t truly want to elope. She simply didn’t have the courage to do such a thing. However, Madeline kept persuading her, and she hesitated.
Rosalie still hoped to convince her family, but their resolute attitude earlier had indeed shaken
her.
She thought that if she were to act recklessly in despair, her family would have no choice but to accept Dominic. Once they did, they wouldn’t lock her up or force her to go abroad. She also thought that, over time, as both parties got to know each other better, her family would realize that Dominic wasn’t as bad as they had initially thought.
However, in that fleeting moment, confronted with the incredulous stares of her family, Rosalie felt utterly ashamed, almost missing Isabella’s last sentence in her thoughts.
Oblivious to the situation, Madeline nudged Rosalie, not wanting this naive girl to be swayed.
Yet, her single movement had drawn Isabella’s attention.
The food delivery was actually ordered by that deceptive best friend of hers. The hooligan only knew how to heat it up and pretended as if he had personally cooked it, trying to fool Rosalie once she woke up… Isabella. sneered inwardly.
Rosalie’s mind was thrown into further disarray. No! That can’t be! That incident wasn’t faked!
Rosalie has actually claimed that she could taste the care and affection in her meal. For that, she really should thank the chef from that Clusian fast food franchise. The total cost of the three dishes and a soup didn’t even exceed thirty. Truly, it was a case of great value for the money! Isabella thought.
Rosalie’s eyes gradually widened. Even though she didn’t believe it, Isabella’s words were too coherent to simply dismiss.
Isabella even continued to think, I recall there’s a branch of this franchise here in the city. Why not take advantage of her being at home and order for her daily? Show her some care and affection. If she eats it for a month straight, I refuse to believe she won’t get sick of it.
Rosalie’s body swayed, and she could barely manage to stay upright.
Madeline quickly steadied Rosalie. With a sorrowful expression, Madeline pleaded, “Please stop

making things difficult for Rosie. Perhaps in your eyes, Dom cooking for Rosie means nothing. but it’s a sincere gesture from him. Dom has never done such a thing for anyone else.”
Ha! He hasn’t done such a thing for anyone else because he doesn’t even know how to cook! Isabella thought.
Madeline continued, her righteous indignation unabated, “Even if you don’t like Dom, please refrain from casually trampling on other people’s sincerity.”
Madeline was speaking with such righteous rhetoric, fearlessly speaking out against power. If it weren’t for Isabella’s inner voice, the Quirks might have actually been deceived.
Upon hearing the girl’s unfounded claims, almost everyone was on the verge of laughing out of sheer disbelief.
At that moment, Alexander said, “All right. Since you’ve said so, please invite your brother over.”
Those words left Madeline, who was brimming with emotion, completely flustered. “Huh?”
“““Have your brother come over and personally cook us a meal. If we can sense his sincerity, we won’t stand in his way.“” Alexander said, his dark eyes deep.
Hahaha! Oh, Alexander is quite a character. Although I’m not sure what he’s up to, having that guy come over to cook could certainly expose any lies. This is just too hilarious. I bet that girl is sweating bullets now! Isabella thought.”
Madeline’s face paled abruptly. Her body froze, and she was momentarily at a loss for words. In her panic, Rosalie clung to her as if clutching at the last strand of hope. “Ask Dom to come over. All he needs to do is cook a meal, and then we can be together,” Rosalie said.
Madeline’s face had already turned somewhat pale. “Rosie, you know Dom’s temperament, and he won’t agree with it.”
“Why? Couldn’t he cook for me? Doesn’t he want to be with me?” Rosalie questioned.
Christopher responded with a cold laugh, “All right. Let me get this straight. When my sister was living with him, it wasn’t insulting for her to take care of his every need. However, it’s insulting of us to ask him to cook us a meal in return. That’s so double standard, no?”
David and Selena couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to that clown anymore.
“Don’t you see, Rosie? He can’t even grant the smallest request. Is this the man you chose? You say he loves you, but where is this love you’ve been talking about? It’s all talk but no show, no?”
“He isn’t willing to put in the slightest effort to gain our approval as your parents. All he thinks. about is deceiving you into a secret love affair, living together, and more. This is a display of irresponsibility and lack of commitment. In your father’s and my eyes, he can’t even be considered a decent man!”
In the very next moment, Isabella thought, Indeed, it’s true love. She’s so protective. It’s quite perverted,
Wait up! What? True love? Who with whom? Everyone looked toward Madeline in astonishment. Madeline, seemingly enraged to the point of her eyes turning red, could have been interpreted as defending a loved one. Wait… Is she extremely protective of her brother because… No way! Could they be such weirdos?
