After a long silence, Noah looked at the two of us and said, "Sister, brother in law, you should at least speak up for me."
Angela and I looked at each other before I went forward to pat Noah on the shoulder.
As I patted him on the shoulder, I said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing that we can do."
He looked at me with an aggrieved look, but I still said, "You know what kind of person you are. Trust is something that is built up over time, so you have to prove that you're someone worth trusting. There's nothing that we can do for you."
Angela nodded at Noah from behind me.
That just made him let out a sigh, but he eventually nodded in agreement as well.
It seemed like he accepted the situation for what it was and came to the decision that he would do what he could to reverse it.
Since that was the case, there was no need to rub it in for Noah anymore.
