What does it mean when you apologize to someone and they accept it then say “just leave it”?

In this situation it was me and my ex. We had a huge argument at work the other day and he screamed at me over the phone. I apologize and told him to please no waste his energy doing that again because it isn’t fair to him. I said we need to detach as he said the other day and be mature. He had his head down, still looked upset but said okay no problem and said just leave it.
