I answered the phone and asked politely, "Hello, Auntie, what can I do for you?"

"Leo, my daughter was not kind in this matter. Auntie apologizes to you." Cheryl's mother is a teacher. She is well-educated and speaks gently.

But when I heard her apology, I felt so wronged that I wanted to cry. I said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, you don't have to apologize. I am not worthy of your Cheryl."
