Chapter 1371:
Giffard and Egbert looked just as stunned.
Egbert had fallen behind because he’d needed to deal with overseas business first—and then make the long trip back to Crobert. As for Giffard and Charles, they’d hesitated to take any bold action. Given everything Millie had endured after that brutal divorce, they thought it was best to give her time.
None of them had expected Myron to appear out of nowhere and pull off something so grand—so quietly.
Myron shot Charles a triumphant, teasing smile.
Sitting beside him, Trudy lifted her hand and smacked Charles on the head.
“Trudy, I’m sorry,” Charles said at once, ducking his head.
“You know I was only joking.”
Trudy shot him one more withering glare before turning back to Millie with a warm smile.
Millie smiled as well.
On the large screen, the video continued to play, showing a montage of everything she and Myron had been through together. His earnest pursuit, their many dates, and every gentle moment they had shared flowed one after another. The edit was beautifully done, brimming with the warmth of romance.
But it wasn’t only sweetness. There were scenes of her working relentlessly for her career—moments when she believed no one was paying attention. Her fatigue, her resolve, and the focus she carried in every decision were captured in close-up shots that felt almost too intimate.
It was clear Myron had filmed those.
At the end of the video, she leaped toward the camera with a bright, overjoyed smile and shouted, “Ronnie, we’re getting married!”
The camera was then set on a nearby table, capturing the two of them holding each other tightly within the frame.
“Yes, Millie,” his gentle voice answered from outside the shot.
“We’re getting married.”

Down in the banquet hall, guests whispered to each other.
“So that’s what they call each other in private? Does she really call him ‘Ronnie’? That just sounds silly.”
“Exactly, right?” another guest added.
“It doesn’t suit Myron—the big-shot CEO of the Elliott Group—at all.”
“You’re missing the point,” Jayceon cut in, a devoted fan of overbearing CEO romances.
“It’s a term of endearment. When people are in love, everything feels different.”
The guests still looked confused.
Jayceon shot them an exasperated look.
“Think about it. With all the women who adored Myron and all the admirers chasing after Millie, why do you think the two of them ended up together?”
“That actually sounds reasonable…”
“It is very reasonable,” Jayceon insisted.
The crowd’s quiet chatter continued as the ceremony moved forward. The newly married couple took turns giving their speeches.
Myron went first, speaking at length about how incredible Millie was and how their love had taken root.
