Apology Language 3: “ What can I do to make it right?”
How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?
Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”

Be patient in seeking forgiveness．They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
