She's long been used to living under someone else's roof, so she doesn't want to move in with him and have to watch his moods.
The one thing she's learned best over the years with the Monroe Family is to know her place.
It's just that finding a place isn't something that can be done immediately; it takes some time, so she'll have to make do at the store for now.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Julian Rhodes say, "You can stay at my place."
His dark eyes locked onto her, as if studying what kind of creature she was.
She was actually thinking about renting a place?
As her husband, Julian felt insulted.
"Um, no need," Scarlett Xavier said. "I'm not used to living with others."
Even though he's willing, she's not!
Scarlett thought it through very clearly. As things are with the Monroe Family now, she has no choice but to accept that she has a husband.
Once the three-year period is up, she'll divorce him, so for now, she wants as much separation as possible.
