Morwenna didn't catch the look Norbert was giving her.

After shutting the large safe, Norbert proceeded to open the smaller one.

The smaller safe seemed almost empty, housing just a few documents.

Without taking anything out, Norbert began, "Inside here, we've got your marriage certificate with Stuart, along with the deed to the Windcharm Villas and Hetfield's Homestead properties, among a few other things. Since you insist on not wanting anything, I'd like you to have these."

This time, before Morwenna could refuse, Norbert earnestly said, "Wenna, you can't refuse these. The Windcharm Villas is Stuart's favorite retreat. It might become your cozy nest in the future. You must keep it. And Hetfield's Homestead, well, I'm giving it to you out of a personal wish. You've seen the state of the Hetfield clan; not a single one of them truly values the family legacy. If I were to leave the homestead to any of them, they'd sell it off the moment I'm gone. I want to leave something behind."

Hearing the word 'gone' made Morwenna anxious, and she quickly responded, "Norbert, you promised you'd take good care of yourself. You're going to live a long, healthy life."

Norbert gave a carefree laugh, "Even if I live to a hundred, that's only twenty more years to go. I'm not saying something will happen now, just got to thinking and wanted you to have it. You don't need to take it now, but at least keep the key to this small safe, for my peace of mind."

With Norbert insisting, Morwenna finally accepted the key.

She thought the valuable items were in the larger safe, so holding onto this smaller safe's key shouldn't be an issue.

securely pocketing the key, Norbert smiled, "Alright, off to bed with you. You have
