It's making her almost forget that he's actually a temperamental person.
Seeing him angry now, she's quite worried.
She said, "Julian...the things I said today in front of the Yates Family, I really didn't mean anything by it. I'm just trying to make sure Anne Everett won't cling to you anymore. Retreat to advance, play hard to get, you understand?"
She didn't think much of it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, saying she would give him to Anne Everett does seem a bit much!
After all, he did get angry over things like this before.
Julian sat beside her, listening to her, and said coolly, "Is that so?"
Scarlett looked at him, saying, "Of course it is, how could I possibly bear to give you to someone else?"
"But it seems to me, you didn't show any reluctance at all."
"What do you mean?" Scarlett felt completely unjust, "I'm really not willing to, my heart was aching with every word I said, honestly."
