Yashita said, "Your father said that you can name yourself whatever you want, and he will help you with the relevant identification registration." 1
A trace of joy flashed across Rosalie's face. However before she could speak, Yashita added, "Rosalie, your father said that you can still use Schulz as your last name, and you can call yourself whatever you want, but you cannot make the name sound like his descendant." 2
Rosalie's delightful grin froze and was replaced by a bitter frown. She looked at Yashita and asked, "Mom, h e still doesn’t want people to know who I really am, does he?" 4
Yashita said, looking rather ashamed, "Rosalie, you are after all your father's illegitimate daughter, and not many people know about this. Only your father and your grandfather know about you in the entire Schulz family. Your father and his wife love each other very much. If she knows about you, she will certainly break up with him..." 1
Rosalie choked. "Mom, does it mean that I can't tell people that Sheldon Schulz is my father for the rest of my life? Do I have to spend my life to be a woman who grew up without a father?" 2
Yashita’s eyes reddened and she lamented, "Rosalie, it was entirely my intention to be with him back then. In
fact, he didn't even know you existed until a few years ago, so you can't blame him for not being willing to disclose your identity!" 2
"Furthermore, your father paid a very high price in order to get you out this time. Even if he can't call you his daughter publicly, but deep down, he loves you very much! No matter what, you can't blame him, do you understand?" 4
At this point, Rosalie sighed, nodded slightly, and said in a serious tone, "I understand. Don't worry, Mom. I’ll never mention it again, and I won't blame him!" 2
