Boyle recorded many of his memories with Mrs. Lawson in his diary.
There was an article that was written as such.
[Many people asked me why I fell in love with Cherie when there are so many pretty ladies in this world.
[These people don’t understand that true love is not about whether your partner is perfect or not.
[My Cherie is not perfect, but in my eyes, she’s a very interesting girl.
[I like her intelligence. She picks up things really quickly. I only have to briefly guide her and she understands everything immediately. Layla is considered one of the best and most talented students when it comes to academics. However, Cherie is more responsive than her.
[Probably because Cherie is pretty simple minded. She’s like a kid and kids have the ability to learn fast.
[I like to play Go and Monopoly with Cherie. In other people’s eyes, it seems like I’m accompanying and playing with a little kid, but they don’t know that I enjoy Mrs. Lawson’s company at the same time.
[I feel a kind of innocence and youth that I’ve never experienced before whenever I’m with Cherie.
[People thought I love Cherie for her looks, body, wisdom, family background, and lots of other reasons. However, they don’t know how beautiful Cherie’s soul is.
[Only a person like me who experienced the vicissitudes of life would understand how precious Cherie’s innocence and wanton behavior is.
[I love Cherie the way she is, and I love her innocent and childish soul.
[I love the way she looks at me. It seems like her heart and eyes were filled with me. Adult’s eyes were always filled with fatigue and love always seemed impure in their eyes.
[However, it is as though I’m the only one left in this world whenever she looks at me.”
