Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 398

“Crying won’t solve anything. Apologize.” To my surprise, Neil spoke up, his tone completely different from when he demanded an apology from me earlier. He pulled Hiram in front of me, “Since your mom said you were in the wrong, you should apologize. I made a mistake earlier.”

His action caught Karina off guard, and she stared blankly at Neil.

Hiram, tear-streaked and sobbing, stood before me. Both of his parents were telling him to apologize. Without anyone to back him up, he dared not be

stubborn.

“Ms. Finch, I’m sorry. I… I shouldn’t have taken your food without asking. I was impolite, Hiram stammered between sobs, looking pitiful.

Children don’t know any better. They are the products of their parents’ upbringing.

In that case, Karina should have taken responsibility for Hiram’s actions.

I patted Hiram’s head, “All right, I forgive you. Next time, ask politely if you want something, okay?”

Hiram nodded, choking on his tears, then looked back at Neil and Karina, as if waiting for them to speak.

Karina managed a small smile and waved Hiram over, “Come here, sweetie.”

Only then did Hiram hide behind Karina again. Neil didn’t say a word, and just looked at me.

“All right, you all carry on eating.” I avoided Neil’s gaze and turned to Russel, “Let’s go.”

Just then, Karina spoke, “Ms. Finch, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
