"This is all my fault. I wasn't thinking straight. Nina, please forgive me!" Renee Jennings said, bowing deeply again. She then pulled Nathan Lynch over, intending to make the child apologize with her.
Her pitiful performance, however, made Naomi seem like the aggressor.
Naomi Kenway reached out, grabbed her wrist, and smiled. "Didn't I already forgive you? I had no idea, Ms. Jennings, that you had a penchant for obsessively apologizing to people."
Renee Jennings's expression stiffened slightly.
"I respect other people's hobbies, but I'm not a fan of this one myself. Don't do it again."
Naomi Kenway smiled gently, but for some reason, a chill ran down Renee Jennings's spine.
"Nina, as long as you forgive me, that's all that matters. In that case... I'll take Mona and head back."
Before leaving, Renee Jennings didn't forget to glance at Naomi Kenway's potato patch. It looked like she had dug up about half the plot, roughly the same progress as herself.
