"Jones, let's just stay friends," I said firmly. "My feelings for you are not love. You should stop wasting your time on me and listen to your family's advice to find a woman who is right for you"
Jones was strongly emotional, "I can't accept it! I don't want anyone but you. Can you give me a chance? If you agree, I'll find a way to get my family's approval"
I'm not clear on how Jones fought with his family for Ariel during my past life, but I know he made a lot of sacrifices for it, some of which even seemed crazy
If he could become good friends with Damon, they must have something in common,
"Calm down first. Jones, you are usually a very mature and steady person. I believe you can also handle your emotions in love, right?" I quickly soften my tone. "Didn't you teach me before? Let go when you should. Letting go is a kind of liberation."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. I held my breath, waiting for Jones's response
