Dave had once mentioned to Laurent that, from his perspective, Morrison still had a trace of genuine feelings for Lilian.
After all, Dave had known Morrison for years. He understood him completely. When it came to women, Morrison rarely had to put in effort. Whatever he wanted, it was practically handed to him—sometimes, women would even throw themselves at him.
So for over a year, the fact that Morrison had kept himself in check and couldn't stop thinking about Lilian—that was proof enough, in Dave's mind, that there was some sincerity in his feelings.
That's also why Dave didn't approve of Lilian going back to Burg Eltz. If Morrison found out she had returned and tried to pursue her again, it would only be a nuisance. Even if Morrison really did have feelings for Lilian, not a single member of the Washington family would approve of them being together.
