Chapter 868:
Millie surrendered to his guidance and let her eyelids fall shut, feeling his fingers interlock with hers in a grip that promised safety.
He drew her forward, step by careful step, their joined hands becoming her compass through the darkness she had willingly embraced.
After what felt like both an eternity and an instant, his voice reached her again. “Pause here for just a moment p>
The distinct creak of aged hinges reached her ears, followed by the whisper of glass doors parting.
Myron’s gentle pressure guided her across the threshold into warmth and fragrant air.
“Now you may discover what awaits you.” His invitation arrived wrapped in anticipation.
As his permission settled between them, Millie allowed her eyes to flutter open gradually.
The world emerged in soft focus before sharpening into breathtaking clarity. They stood within the very glass sanctuary that had beckoned them from across the water.
Every surface bloomed with nature’s artistry—roses in crimson splendor, lilies pure as fresh snow, and countless other varieties that painted the space in living color.
Beyond the transparent walls, the sky burned scarlet with the fire of the sunset, while the endless lake stretched toward infinity, its surface dancing with silver ripples beneath the evening breeze.
The garden of flowers found perfect mirrors in the glass panels, creating an infinite kaleidoscope of beauty that seemed to breathe with its own rhythm. Rising from this floral symphony stood a solitary easel, commanding attention like a silent sentinel.
Millie moved toward it as though drawn by invisible threads, and there she discovered Myron’s most recent masterpiece—herself, captured in oils and dreams.

The painting depicted her commanding a concert stage, surrounded by a whirlwind of vivid butterflies. Her figure was transformed, delicate wings sprouting from her shoulders while her lustrous hair flowed like liquid silk around her.
Her fingertips traced the canvas with reverent touches, her lips parting in wordless wonder at the beauty he had found in her.
Around them, additional canvases began their slow ascent into view—herself sharing intimate moments on dates, herself standing defiant against the world’s cruelty, herself caught in moments of heartbreak with tears painting silver trails down her cheeks.
Within every brushstroke, she discovered herself radiating an inner luminescence, never appearing broken or defeated even when tears had claimed her cheeks. His artistic vision had always captured her most radiant moments, as though his devoted eyes had never once wandered from her face.
Then the impossible materialized before her eyes—luminous words formed by intersecting beams of light, suspended like magic in the center of the glass house, spelling out: “Millie, will you marry me p>
The brilliance overwhelmed her senses, transforming into a shimmering gateway that seemed to bridge time itself, floating weightlessly in the sanctuary’s center. Millie extended her trembling hand, her fingertips grazing the ethereal illumination.
