I believe as it was a case of deception and not a willful act of sin, God showed mercy and their blessing was not conditional upon their repentance. That is, Eve and Adam did not decide to rebel against God and eat the fruit. Eve was deceived by Satan, and she never takes the blame for that when she says:
"And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.".
