Jonah Morgan twirled the ring on his finger, staying silent.
Mr. Reeves said, "As you know, you and Violet were once engaged. She's still young and often doesn't understand things; actually, it's because I've cared too little for her that she did something like this. If you let her go this time... We'll agree to cancel the wedding and promise never to bring it up again. Just give her another chance. She's young, and will turn over a new leaf eventually."
Jonah Morgan listened to Mr. Reeves and said, "Her actions have nothing to do with me, and I don't have a say in them either."
Of course, he didn't want to have a say in this.
After meeting Julian Rhodes today, Jonah Morgan regretted his own behavior immensely. Julian's magnanimity made Jonah feel like a petty person, even making him look down on himself.
Favoring Violet Reeves was out of the question.
