Scarlett POV
I nearly groaned. I had come here to check on her health, not to receive another lecture about marriage.
Judging by the direction of the conversation, she was probably already thinking about setting me up again.
Jimmy Whitetree flickered through my mind.
I had only recently learned he was one man she had considered introducing me to.
Once he realized who I was, his pursuit had been relentless and exhausting.
I cut her off. “Regina, I’m not thinking about getting married again right now. You can talk to me about it all you want, but say nothing to Jaxen. He...”
I stopped. My thoughts snagged for a second. Then I finished carefully.
“If you say the wrong thing and he kicks you out of this house again or stops the payments from the family trust, that’ll be on you.”
