Not long ago, when he beat up a supplier's executive and ended up in the precinct, he stubbornly refused to apologize, ultimately relying on money to make the problem disappear.
So, apologizing was incredibly difficult for him.
More deeply, apologizing meant admitting he was wrong.
And that bruised his ego.
But this time, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
Taking a deep breath, Parker said softly, "I'm sorry. I said some awful things to you before, and that was my fault. I apologize."
"Mostly, I've known Maloney for so many years, and I always assumed he liked Seraphina. That's why I said those things to you."
"I recently heard from Jasper that Maloney never actually liked her. All those old rumors were just fake news someone planted."
"Look, I don't know what happened, I just felt that since Seraphina works so hard and has it rough, I should support her pursuit of love."
"Anyway, I won't say things like that to you ever again."
"Maloney must really like you. I've never seen him with another woman all these years. Don't let me ruin things for you guys. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness."
As he spoke, he awkwardly scratched his head and shifted his weight, looking thoroughly uncomfortable.
Nora didn't make it difficult for him. She offered a small smile and said, "Thank you."
Parker let out a breath of relief. "You forgive me, right?"
"I was never mad at you," Nora replied. "But honestly, I think you owe Cassidy an apology more than you owe me one."
She added, "Have you apologized to her the way you just apologized to me?"
"I..." Parker froze. He thought for a moment before answering, "I will."
"Good." Nora didn't chat any further and returned to inspecting the nursery's layout.
Parker stood there in a daze.
This nursery had been decorated half a year ago.
Since they hadn't known if the baby would be a boy or a girl, the main color scheme was a creamy white with light wood furniture.
After Maddie was born, they swapped in pale pink curtains and a canopy, laid out a pink-and-white heart-patterned wool rug, and were slowly adding toys and little decorations.
From the very beginning.
