Chapter 46

• Juno’s POV
• I’ve noticed something about Rex recently. He isn’t perfect, so he makes a mistake now and then. However, I am not without flaws. However, the manner in which he handled the matter caused me to reevaluate my judgment of him. He genuinely wants our relationship to flourish, and we both needed to get to know one another. I also need to move on from my past with men. Rex is not the same as Alex. He was wrong, and I was wrong, too. I made him feel awful by putting words in his mouth. He is no longer at ease with me. I can see he feels like shit.
• “I’m sorry.” He lowered his chin to look me in the eye. “I should have kept my mouth shut and not said anything like that to you. I put words in your mouth. It wasn’t right.” Unlike him, he simply nodded. I nipped the inside of my bottom lip as I curled my lips. This is the most heinous act I have ever committed, but in order for us to move on from what has just occurred, I need to see him smile. I gritted my teeth and conceded. He is, after all, mine.
