"But... you clearly don't like him..." Miles Crawford mumbled to himself, unable to find an answer.

"Miles, you've got it wrong. I stopped him and Ariana from being together, not because I don't like him," Mr. Thorne corrected him, "On the contrary, I appreciate Milo Sinclair's talents; I just think he and Ariana aren't quite suitable."
When he denied Milo, the other party remained polite and composed. In contrast, the rude boy before him—if Ariana were still with him today—his opposition would have been entirely due to his dislike for Miles Crawford.
Judging others by one's own standards is a big taboo for intellectuals.
"Miles, I've watched you grow up; take a word of advice from me. When you have a girlfriend, don't treat her too poorly." He once had a son, and now he hears that his reputation is that of a heartless playboy, but he's never heard of him treating any woman so badly.
