Five seconds passed before I could finish processing what Meredith had just said to me.

The first question that came to my mind was—

Was our relationship that good for her to openly talk about the past?

I didn’t think so, especially given the circumstances surrounding our marriage. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t slowly letting go of that mindset and slowly accepting her.

She is my mate and wife.

But then, I understood something from Meredith’s confession.

She was still hurt by my actions.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to say about that. I didn’t feel I owed her an apology, and I can’t explain it.

Something else I came to understand was that my past actions were the reason Meredith disregarded me.

It was the reason she was unconsciously rude to me without considering my position, or her impolite retorts and actions.

Now, I understood that her grudges had a huge part to play in the way she received me.

"You still feel hurt?" I inquired, suddenly having an interest in listening to her say her mind.

She nodded, slowly, cautiously.

"There is no one who isn’t hurt after being mistreated," she said.

"I know that." I nodded, keeping my eyes on her face.

There was a small frown perched between her brows. A stubborn one.

"What surprises me more is that you still bear the entire scenario in your heart. I thought you would have forgotten it by now, given that I’ve been treating you properly since then."

Her lips twitched.

At least she no longer looked like I’ve been mistreating her.

"Why? Am I not treating you properly?" I asked, holding back a smirk while maintaining a questioning expression.

She didn’t answer my question. It seemed she didn’t want to admit it.

I exhaled deeply. I wasn’t interested in her response. Her reaction already said everything already, and I wasn’t mad.

"You have a strong heart. You need to learn to let go of some things. That’s the only way to move forward."

I wasn’t avoiding apologizing to her because I didn’t feel like it; I was only trying to teach her a few life lessons.

Even though she must have gone through a rough part, she needed to have the previous mindset removed.

Apologizes must never come for one to feel satisfied and move on.

"So..." she dragged, peering into my eyes as she leaned in close. "you, won’t apologize to me?"

I let my gaze drag its way from her face to her chest and then back to her face. Without blinking, I flicked her forehead with my fingers, forcing her to quickly lean back.

"Ouch!"

"Would you rather chase our mate away or enjoy her warmth tonight?" Rhovan asked.

"No one said you were cheap or easy to get," Rhovan sighed. "Go ahead and accept the offer on the table before you. It’s not like you begged for it."

"If you refuse our mate, she won’t have the courage to approach you first again. And she would suffer low self-esteem."
