For Morrison, desire was inevitable, yet he could only suppress it.
Reason always prevailed—he knew she wasn't someone he should get involved with, so he never once crossed that line.
In his thirty-two years of life, this was the first time he had a relationship so clean and pure. Even he was surprised that he hadn't broken up but instead held on for over half a year.
He didn't even know why he persisted so long. Being with Lilian made Morrison feel an unprecedented ease.
She was simple-minded and asked for little. Perhaps because she had never lacked anything, her abundance shaped a mindset that never demanded too much from others—whether love or material things—because her heart was already full.
Their half-year together was uneventful, just simple and steady.
But every time he saw her blush from his teasing, he found it endlessly amusing. Watching her light up with joy over his small thoughtful gestures made him smile just as much.
