In recognition of her nobility, I made the decision to leave my entire estate to her. I have always known Julia to be kind-hearted and trustworthy, and there was no doubt in my mind that my hard-earned wealth would be in good hands. With her becoming the legal guardian of Lucy and Billy, it was only fitting that she could have all the financial resources to look after them in the best way possible. This decision may seem extravagant to some, but in my eyes, it was a small recompense considering the challenges she willingly accepted by marrying an old man like me.
Nonetheless, we both agreed that this plan of ours should remain a secret until my passing. We feared that premature disclosure might pose unforeseen complications. Hence, we remained silent, awaiting the day when our secret could finally come to light. The day has come, and with this letter, I hope that Julia can finally reveal our truth to all of you.
