Chapter 110: Love Tower
They were forced to have a secret wedding because both families didn’t approve of their union. Matthias was still curious as to why Victoria’s family didn’t want them to marry. After all, wouldn’t it have been more beneficial for him to be part of the parasitic family so he could provide some funds for it? Due to his previous cruelty to the family, he was now not welcomed as a good son-in-law. It didn’t matter to him; as long as Victoria agreed to register their marriage secretly, he was happy enough. It could be concluded that they were now legally husband and wife. There was no need for an extravagant wedding.
After registering their marriage, Matthias took his wife on a date to a location that had gone viral on social media. This spot is often visited by couples to cement their love for life. Originally, this location was supposed to be out of town, so they had to travel for several days while also going on vacation.
Matthias took his wife to a tower filled with padlocks with small notes tucked inside. The notes reflected the couple’s feelings and longings. Matthias and Victoria also wrote down their thoughts and wishes, then placed them inside a heart-shaped padlock. Matthias chose a strategic location to prevent anyone from finding the padlock. It was located quite high up, requiring a ladder to reach it.
"Well, if it’s here, no one can find our padlock."
Victoria laughed gracefully, wrapping her arms around her husband’s stomach from behind. "Matty, do you really believe that myth? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t easily believe myths?"
"Whether it’s just a myth or not, I want to believe it because I want our love to last. Even if everyone doesn’t approve of our marriage, my love for you will never fade. I want to remain your husband."
"Matthias..."
"Besides, I already wrote down my wish. That’s why I deliberately kept the padlock in a place that was hard for anyone to find so that it wouldn’t be easily lost or destroyed."
"What is your wish? I’m very curious, you seem to have a lot of wishes."
Matthias smiled shyly, gripping his wife’s hands tightly. "Even though there are many walls between us, I still love you. If something unexpected happens to you and me, I hope you’ll still remember my name. I don’t want you to let another man’s name occupy your heart."
Victoria also smiled happily as she kissed her husband’s cheek. "Of course, I will always remember you. Whether you or I experience something unexpected, the first thing I remember is your name. Because you are the only man I truly love."
Matthias held out his little finger. "You must promise me that you will never leave me. If you experience a disaster that causes our relationship to break apart, you will come back to me."
Victoria nodded, intertwining her pinky with her husband’s. "Of course, because I have nowhere else to go. My only reason for surviving is because of you."
