Chapter 972:
Out of respect, Millie looked away while he began entering the combination. “Don’t look away.” A gentle laugh escaped Myron. “Pay attention and remember how to open it,” he told her.
Millie hesitated, uncertain about what he was trying to do.
Still, as he worked the lock, Millie knew she had to pay attention.
Unlocking the safe wasn’t straightforward. Myron moved through a complicated series of steps, making it clear this wasn’t an ordinary code.
Whatever he was protecting had to matter a great deal.
Finally, the safe door popped open with a faint click.
Rows of documents and a handful of precious-looking items came into view. Millie stared at the contents, not quite sure what to make of it. “What is all this?” she asked, puzzled.
“Everything I own,” Myron answered, flashing her a reassuring smile as he picked up a few papers for Millie to inspect.

Yet here Myron was, ready to hand over joint ownership of everything he had. That meant both their names would be on the line, legally and financially tied together.
If things ever went south, she would end up with half his wealth.
And they weren’t even officially married.
Though she’d already accepted his proposal, nothing was legitimate yet. Picking up on her hesitation, Myron leaned closer.

Millie hesitated, her words slow. “Myron, don’t you think this might be… a little reckless p>
A look of mild confusion crossed Myron’s face.
“That’s all property you earned before we got together…” Millie added, searching his eyes for understanding. “They’re your own p>
“It’s not just mine anymore.” With a gentle laugh, Myron brushed it off. “From this point on, it’s going to be ours p>
Millie’s nerves got the better of her. “But if we ever break up p>
