Scarlett Xavier reluctantly said, "Alright then! Anne, you should rest well. It's too late today, and Julian Rhodes isn't feeling well. I'll take him away now. We'll come to see you when we have the time."
"Take care," Anne Everett said with some lingering fear.
She was desperate for the two to leave quickly, truly afraid that Scarlett would force her to marry Julian.
As soon as Scarlett left, Anne's mother looked at Anne and asked, "Did you really go to see Scarlett and say you like Julian Rhodes?"
"I..." Anne said, "No."
"Still no?" Anne's mother said, "If you didn't, why would she dare to say that? Do you really like Julian Rhodes?"
She had never really paid attention to her daughter's thoughts.
Anne thought of Julian Rhodes, indeed she liked him, liked him for so many years, she nodded and said, "Yes."
However, her health wasn't good. Every time she thought about this, she felt aggrieved.
