Matthias also smiled and said, “Yes, this is a good thing. We are very happy. Callum, take Camryn in to complete the formalities, as it is getting late. When it’s time to leave work, the staff still waits for you.”
At the urging of his parents, Callum took Camryn’s hand, took the household registration book handed over by his mother and the diamond ring he had ordered long ago, and entered the civil affairs office with Camryn.
Rosella and Matthias did not leave but waited outside for the two people to come out.
Matthias tilted his head and said to Rosella, “This reminds me of thirty-two years ago, when we came here to get the certificate. It seems like it happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, our eldest son also walked in here. Time passed. It goes so fast, and we are getting old too.”
Matthias took Rosella’s hand and said, “I told you, I will grow old with you.”
Rosella also said emotionally, “Yes, time flies so fast. I always feel that I am only eighteen years old, but my son is already thirty, and we are really old. It’s hard not to recognize our age.”
Matthias: “You are not old at all. In my eyes, you’re eighteen years old.”
Rosella was very well maintained. Standing next to Callum, others would think they were siblings.
Although Matthias took good care of himself because he used to help take care of the family business, he was very busy at work and had many things to worry about, and his manes already had gray hair.
After retiring, he dyed his hair black at his wife’s repeated request.
Even so, when he and his wife stood together, it still seemed that he was ten years older than her. In fact, they were only one year apart.
Matthias’ praise made Rosella smile. She said, “I also want to be eighteen years old, but unfortunately I can’t. No matter how well I take care of myself, I will still grow old.”
Matthias: “I will grow old with you; don’t be afraid.”
Rosella smiled and said, “I’m not afraid. As long as you are by my side, I won’t be afraid if the sky falls.”
