When he said that, it made Scarlett Xavier feel as if she was somehow worse than a beast.
The point is, she even hit him yesterday afternoon!
She straightened her expression and said to Julian Rhodes, "Our marriage was the elders' idea, we didn't have any feelings for each other to begin with. It's uncertain whether we'll be together in the future, and you don't like me! I have to be responsible for my own life!"
She knew Julian Rhodes might not care much about these things.
But Scarlett Xavier was different!
She grew up in a divorced family.
She was very afraid.
So she and Julian Rhodes would separate sooner or later.
If she couldn't hold herself back and really ended up with him, what if they had a child in the future... and then she and Julian Rhodes split up! Wouldn't the child end up like her?
Julian Rhodes looked at Scarlett Xavier, it was rare to see her so serious and earnest, not as strong-willed as usual, seemingly with a touch of fragility.
