The Runaway Groom Chapter 815

Staring at Martin with disbelief, Lulu asked, “What is this?”

“I know it took you a lot of courage to marry me, and that you didn’t marry for love,” Martin told her. “But whether it’s impulse or recompense, I’m happy. So, even though I’m not rich enough to afford you an extravagant lifestyle, all I have is yours.”

That’s why I registered you as a co-owner of this house.”
