Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted
Chapter 24: Scarlet Heart Part I

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Scarlet Heart Part I

What was in Victoria’s mind was already filled with dirty thoughts. Did Matthias mean to do hot activities even though it was not yet midnight? If Matthias suddenly attacked her in a rude way, of course she wanted to beat him up black and blue. Because until now she still did not love Matthias sincerely and because she heard her stepmother’s words that continued to haunt her mind, she wanted to keep her distance from Matthias a little.

"What do you want to show me?" Victoria asked nervously.

Matthias lifted his wife’s chin with an intense gaze. "Are you that curious?"

"If you want to attack me now, I won’t let you touch my body!"

His eyes widened as he let out a loud laugh until his face turned red. "Victoria, I didn’t expect your mind to be so dirty! Do you actually expect me to attack you now?"

"No! Why would I want to do it with you?!" Victoria immediately looked away nervously.

"Then, now you close your eyes."

"But can you be trusted?"

"Should I attack you now so you won’t challenge me again?"

Victoria shook her head quickly and closed her eyes. "Okay, I’ll do what you say for now. But if you do anything to me, I won’t forgive you!"

Now Victoria couldn’t see anything. The room was too quiet, making it feel like she was trapped in a dark room. She was actually more curious about what she wanted to show Matthias? Should she open her eyes secretly?

"You can open your eyes now."

Victoria immediately opened her eyes and stared at the three necklaces placed in a luxurious box with sparkling eyes. However, it was impossible for her that Matthias wanted to give these three necklaces to her at once. Were these necklaces actually for Amber? Then, why did Matthias show off the three necklaces to her?

"Help me choose one of these three necklaces," Matthias asked softly.

"What?"

"Actually, I wanted to give one of these three necklaces for an event my company is holding next month. The event is about caring for the environment at the beach. The winner will get this necklace."

Victoria laughed in annoyance and folded her arms. "Why should I help you choose?"

"Because you are a woman. So, you have to help me choose. Your taste and other women’s taste must be the same."

"I won’t help you pick out the necklace if you want to give it to Amber. You don’t need to use any other excuses to trick me!"

Matthias raised his hand confidently. "I swear I won’t give the necklace to Amber!"

A warm smile returned to her beautiful face. "Okay, if you put it that way, I’ll help you." Her eyes focused on one of the necklaces adorned with diamonds and rubies. "Isn’t that the scarlet heart necklace? How did you get it?"

Matthias did not expect his wife’s desire to be the same as before. He always remembered that his wife wanted this necklace so much that she asked for a lot of help from everyone close to her to find the rare necklace. It turned out to be true. People with amnesia do not actually completely lose their memories. However, beautiful memories still remain in their hearts.

"Do you want to try it?"

"No need. This necklace will be given to someone else. I am not qualified to try it on."

"My purpose in calling you is not only to help me choose this necklace. But, I want you to try it on too."

Victoria lowered her head while pushing aside her long hair. She let her husband put the beautiful necklace on her neck. Her heart was beating a little while wearing this necklace because it could be said that this necklace was the necklace she had been after for a long time. She really hoped that Ansel would find the necklace faster, not expecting Matthias to move faster.

"You look beautiful wearing this necklace." Matthias put both his arms around his wife’s neck.

"I’m actually curious. Why would you give this necklace to someone else for free? Even though this necklace is very rare and there is only one in the world."

"Because I want to appreciate that person."

Victoria raised her right eyebrow. "Who is that person?"

"People who really care about the beach environment. Because nowadays people don’t care about cleanliness."

For Victoria, Matthias’s excuse sounded increasingly unreasonable. If it was meant to be the grand prize in the trash-picking competition, the prize should have been simpler. Did Matthias really want to give this necklace to Amber? If so, then she wanted to end her relationship with Matthias because it was clear that Matthias was playing with her.

"Then, you have to choose the right person who is very deserving of this necklace."

Matthias fingered the ring pendant his wife still wore around her neck. "By the way, you won’t take off your old necklace?"

"Because I’m already comfortable wearing my necklace. I’m still curious who gave me the ring."

"What if you can’t find him for years?"

"Then I will keep wearing this ring." Victoria raised her right eyebrow. "But, is it true that you weren’t the one who gave me this ring?"

"You will find the answer in your own way."

Victoria let out a happy laugh while fingering the scarlet heart necklace. "I wanted to wear this necklace for a long time. Actually, I wanted it for a long time. But since you managed to find it faster, of course I won’t take it from you."

"Do you know the meaning of the scarlet heart necklace?"

"If a man gives this necklace to the woman he loves, then their love will be eternal." Victoria narrowed her eyes on her husband. "You must give this necklace to a man so that the man can give this necklace to his woman."

"Don’t worry, most of the participants are men."

Suddenly Victoria felt like her head was about to explode. Again, a piece of memory crossed her mind. The scene she saw now was her looking at a photo of a scarlet heart necklace with a man. Her tears moistened her eyelids.
