Jocelyn hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
Her purpose of coming here was to make Janet suffer. But her plan seemed to come back and bite her in the ass. Worse still, she had to apologize to Janet in public.
This was a famous cafe. There were a lot of customers even though it was a weekday. Some of them had already stolen glances at them.
"I'm sorry," Jocelyn murmured with her head lowered.
As an extremely proud woman, she found it hard to apologize to Janet.
But she had to do so because she wanted to keep Janet here.
"Did someone say something? Oh! It was you. Are you talking to me or yourself?" Janet raised her eyebrows and stared at her to indicate that she didn't hear her. She obviously wasn't going to let things slide easily.
"Don't push it, Janet!" Jocelyn flared up. She badly wished she could tear the arrogant woman in front of her into pieces. To restrain herself, she clenched her fists until her fingers sunk into her palm.
Janet shrugged and opened her hands to feign indifference. She uttered, "Anyway, it's up to you. You don't have to force yourself to apologize if you don't want to. Since you think I am pushing you, I had better leave now."
She grabbed her handbag and stood up, as if she really wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, Janet. What's the rush? You said you didn't hear me, so I would repeat my apology." Jocelyn had to compromise. When she saw that her adoptive sister got even more arrogant, she clenched her fists tighter. Her knuckles turned red.
Taking her seat once again, Janet graciously gestured for her to continue.
"Ahem... Janet, I have come to realize that we were wrong for hurting you. We shouldn't have done all those things. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me and my mom? Remember that we are family no matter what."
