Abigail was waiting for him to repeat his words. But Nathan remained silent, his eyebrows twitching in a deep frown.

"Are you mad again? Then just leave me alone. I will not bother you, so don't bother me." Abigail was about to close the door but Nathan moved quickly, stepping one foot forward to stop the door from closing.

"Argh!" He grunted, shocking Abigail in the process.

She didn't expect that Nathan would try to block the door using his own foot. She reflexively opened the door and looked down to see if his foot was hurt.

Nathan smiled inwardly when he saw the worried expression on her face. However, when Abigail gazed up, her expression went back to her usual cold one.

"It's your fault for putting your foot forward." Abigail raised her eyebrow as she blamed Nathan for hurting his own foot.

"We are not yet done talking," Nathan mumbled, holding the doorknob to make sure that Abigail won't close her door.

"Is there something more you want to say to me? You already said enough when we were in the hotel," Abigail said, not hiding her displeasure. She showed him how upset she was because of Nathan's harsh words.

"You are so rude," Abigail added, pouting her lips while giving Nathan a sharp look.

Nathan opened his mouth to explain only to close it again as he couldn't refute that. He was indeed very rude towards her. But he couldn't help it. He was furious at that time.

"I said I'm sorry..." Nathan apologized once again but he sounded like it was against his will.

Instead of getting satisfied, Abigail became more upset, thinking that Nathan was not sincere with his apology.

She was pissed off by his insincere apology so Abigail pushed him so that he would no longer block the door. The next thing Nathan heard was a loud thud.

Bam!

Abigail closed the door as she didn't want to listen to Nathan's nonsense. If he truly wanted to apologize, he should show his sincerity.

But little did she know, Nathan was not used to apologizing to someone so he didn't sound sincere when he said those words. Even his face was emotionless.

Knock! Knock!

Nathan tried to knock but Abigail locked the door and said, "Get lost, Nate!"

Nathan: "..."

Nathan was rendered speechless. He didn't expect that Abigail would get mad and yelled at him, telling him to get lost.

Ethan let out a soft giggle as he watched her. He reached out, patting Abigail's shoulder.

"Don't be upset, Miss Abi. Actually, my Dad meant it. It's just that he doesn't know how to apologize properly because he seldom does it." Ethan explained to Abigail.

Abigail looked at Little Ethan, feeling puzzled. She didn't get what he meant at first.

"What I am trying to say is that... my Dad was not used to apologizing to someone... that's why you thought he was not sincere. But in truth, he just didn't know how to show his sincerity. Besides, people were the ones apologizing to him, not the other way around." Ethan elaborated his explanation for Abigail to understand better.

After hearing his statements, Abigail understood it. To think about it, Nathan was the rule, so other people would be the ones apologizing to him. For others, no one would dare question him for his mistake as they were afraid of him. Everything made sense now.

"That's true. But why are you telling me this now, Ethan? I thought you told me that I shouldn't accept his apology that easily." Abigail put on a pitiful face. It looked like Ethan was here to convince her to forgive his father. Was he asking her to let it slide?

"Hmm, did you become a spokesperson for your Dad?" Abigail added, asking Little Ethan.

But Ethan shook his head while smiling broadly. "No, Miss Abi. Don't worry. I am not forcing you or requesting you to forgive my father. I am just confirming if he was telling the truth. In fact, Miss Abi, I have a suggestion."

Abigail blinked her eyes in confusion. Ethan was like his father, she couldn't figure out what they were both thinking sometimes.

Ethan leaned closer to Abigail and whispered something. Abigail was in a dazed for a moment as she listened to Ethan's suggestion. After she was done listening to him, her mind finally absorbed and processed his words. Then a subtle smile appeared on Abigail's face as she nodded her head.

"I like your suggestion, my dear little Ethan!" Abigail grabbed Ethan and hugged her. Then she ruffled his hair, gently patting his head. Little Ethan could only smile, feeling so proud. He felt so happy since Abigail loved his suggestion.

"Since I got your permission now, Miss Abi, I will deal with my father so please just cooperate with me, okay?" Ethan asked Abigail's confirmation. He even extended his hand for a handshake to seal their agreement.

"Okay, Ethan! Just do what you have to do. I am willing to cooperate!" Abigail smiled widely, accepting Ethan's hand.

After half an hour, Ethan excitedly left Abigail's room. He saw Butler Li in the hallway.

"Butler Li, have you seen my Dad?" Ethan asked him.

"Young Master, your Dad is currently in his study. You can go there. He was just resting." Butler Li replied. He had just come out of Nathan's Study Room after serving Nathan a cup of hot coffee. Then Butler Li gazed down and noticed a pad of paper in Ethan's hand. He wondered what was written on that note.

Before Butler Li could ask him, Ethan just waved at Butler Li and thanked him before barging into Nathan's study room.

"Dad! I'm here. I'm done talking to Miss Abi!" Ethan declared cheerfully as he entered the room.

Nathan looked at his son with a faint smile. He thought Ethan already convinced Abigail to forgive him.

"What did she say?" Nathan asked his son expectantly. He was excited to hear how his son was able to convince Abigail.

But instead of answering Nathan's question, Ethan showed him the pad of paper, presenting it in front of Nathan.

Nathan frowned and asked, "What is that?"

"Dad! This is your To-Do List. You have to do everything written on this piece of paper for you to gain Miss Abi's forgiveness." Ethan declared enthusiastically.

Nathan: "..."
