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.”

My mother never remarried and raised me on her own, but she died from stomach cancer when I was 24. They left me with this house—the same one I grew up in—and I want to give it to you. That’s why I registered you as a co-owner of this house.”

Picking up a yellow card, he said, “Here’s the savings my parents left me. It’s worth over ten grand.”

Picking up another card, he said, “This is my personal savings. There’s up to 40 grand, and I have that much because I don’t use it much.”

Lulu stared at everything in the box.

They were so simple, yet precious and held immense sentimental value.

She rasped, “It’s too much, I…”

“You married me, and that makes you family.” Martin smiled. “What’s mine is yours, and although I don’t spend too much, I’m not great with money either. That’s why I’m leaving it with you.”
