Rainny White apologized, then froze in place, eagerly hoping for young Aaron Yardley to relent and say "forgiven" to quickly end this awkward moment.
Yet after waiting for a while, young Aaron Yardley kept his eyes down and didn't say a word.
His silence was like a fine needle, unsettling Rainny White's heart, making cold sweat bead on her forehead.
"Aaron, can you forgive me?" Rainny White suppressed her anxiety and forced a gentle smile.
"I don't forgive you."
Young Aaron Yardley finally lifted his head, his clear eyes showing no trace of timidity, and his tone was polite yet firm.
"My mom said not every apology needs to be accepted, wrong is wrong."
He didn't understand why Rainny White suddenly changed her expression but keenly sensed that her apology was full of perfunctory, lacking sincerity.
