"Mona, sweetheart, just say sorry, okay?" Jane said gently, noticing that Mona was still quiet and sensing Bernard's displeasure growing.

"Fine, Grandpa, Grandma, Lapologize," Mona replied flatly.

Hearing Mona's apology, Bernard finally felt satisfied. He thought it was the right thing to do. Barbara was hurt, so Mona should apologize-even if Mona was his beloved granddaughter she should not be too headstrong. He hoped this would make Barbara feel better. Just as Bernard was about to say something to Barbara, he noticed Mona heading back into the kitchen.

Barbara, meanwhile, felt pleased when she heard Mona's apology. It had been worth the little injury-not only had it made everyone side with her, but it also slightly humbled Mona.

Among the group, most felt relieved when Mona apologized, but not Maxwell. He stared after Mona as she walked away. He looked at Barbara, thinking how odd it was that Mona had to apologize to, someone so hypocritical. It was Barbara's own fault, after all. Maxwell's annoyance with Barbara only grew, and a part of him even felt a sudden urge to beat Barbara, wondering why Mona was heading into the kitchen again.

At the thought of this, Barbara adjusted her expression, returning to her usual look of helpless innocence, waiting for Mona to offer her apology.

Barbara's side. Mona took Barbara's hand, which had been obediently resting on her lap. Without a second thought as to whether it was the injured one, with her other hand holding the peeler, Mona made a swift, forceful scrape across the back of Barbara's hand.
