Chapter 454: Playing Dead, Part 2

"Why won't you do what needs to be done to keep her safe?" Jax asked, a taunting edge to his tone. "You always take her side, always give her what she wants, even when you know it's wrong or dangerous."

"Because I love her," Trent said, his words packed with sincerity. "And I respect her. She's my wife, Jax. My soulmate. You know what that means for us. I can't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do, and I even if I could, I wouldn't."

My heart kicked into overdrive at Trent's response, and I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and thank him for being so wonderful. Jax thought Trent was the wrong choice because he wouldn't make decisions that he knew would upset me - and probably keep me safe. But Jax was wrong. That was exactly the reason Trent was the right choice.
