Chapter 301 I'm sorry, Ms. Sanford, Mr. Aaron. Please forgive us just this once." Tim trembled as he slapped his own face repeatedly as he begged Willow for forgiveness.
Mandy looked equally distressed. "Ms. Sanford, Mr. Aaron, I was just joking earlier. We didn't mean any harm. Please don't hold it against us." "Dad, Mom, why are you apologizing to this woman and that stupid cripple? You said you'd make them beg on their knees. You-" Tim raised his hand as if to slap Harlan but couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only continue covering Harlan's mouth.
"Ms. Sanford, Mr. Aaron, please don't mind Harlan. He's just talking nonsense "He didn't mean it! How dare he bully Mr. Aaron? I promise I'll discipline him severely when we get back," Tsaid solemnly.

"Harlan, Aaron's leg is indeed injured, but he is not less than other children. He's smart, optimistic, and kind.
"He's the best child in the world. So, you can't mock him or bully him because of his physical condition." Harlan looked at Willow, confused. "But he walks funny." "If people laughed at you for the way you walk, would it make you sad?" Harlan thought for a while, then said, "I guess so." Willow continued, "When you laughed at Aaron, it made him sad, too, so you should apologize to him." Harlan looked reluctant, but after sthought, he realized his mistake. Pouting, he walked up to Aaron. and awkwardly said, “Aaron, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bully you. Can we be friends? I won't laugh at your leg anymore.
He added, "Your mom is a good mom, too. I shouldn't have said bad things about her. I'm sorry." Aaron was not a petty child. He graciously took Harlan's outstretched hand. "I accept your apology, Harlan." Seeing Aaron's scratches and bites broke Willow's heart, but Harlan was only four years old. She couldn't let Aaron retallate. The best outcwas for the children to reconcile and get along.
No child was born inherently bad. Harlan wasn't evil by nature. His parents were just too arrogant, and their influence made him develop a spoiled attitude.
If Tim and Mandy continued to spoil him, he would worsen. However, if they taught him properly, he could still be a good child.
"I'll take you home, Willow, lan offered.
"It's okay, Mr. Nightingale. I've already troubled you..." After glancing at Aaron standing beside Willow, lan decisively picked him up and placed him in the back seat of his car.

Willow was rendered speechless.
t leave Aaron alone Well, she couldn't leave in na stranger's car, so she opened the car door and sat next to Aaron.
She assumed lan would sit in the passenger seat, but to her surprise, he opened the back door and sat next to her. Willow suddenly felt the air around her grow thin.
Tim clung desperately to the car door. "Mr. Nightingale, I'm reallym sorry. I was stupid and blind. Please forgivejust this once." "Say goodbye to your bonus this year." X
