With this thought in mind, he nudged Howard forward. “Howard, apologize to Mrs. Lawson.” Although Howard was reluctant, he knew he had to express plenty of sincerity now that he was here. Hence, with a somewhat courteous tone, he said, “I'm sorry. | shouldn't have hit you that day.” Angela raised an eyebrow, for his apology seemed insincere to her.
At this moment, Violet took the opportunity to present the gifts they brought. “Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, these are the small token of our appreciation. Please accept them.” After placing the gifts, Violet stole several regretful glances at them.
Of course, Angela noticed all these subtle gestures.
How interesting. Why bother coming here to apologize if they are so reluctant to givethese gifts? Moreover, gifts blind the eyes.

Upon seeing Angela becoming visibly upset, Ethan angrily smacked Howard's head. “You ungrateful child! Apologize properly!” Even though Howard felt frustrated, he eventually obliged, “I truly am here to express my sincere apology. I'm sorry. | deeply regret my actions. How can | make it right?” Since Angela wasn’t one to hold a grudge, she stated plainly, “Sdamage cannot be undone with mere apologies. However, | wasn't greatly affected. The one truly hurt was Sarah.
Howard's expression turned perplexed. Slightly panicked, he asked, “What's the matter? Do you wantto apologize to her as well?” Angela's gaze turned icy. With a hint of a chilling smile on her face, she remarked, “An apology doesn’t quite cut it, does it?”
