Chapter 3883

“Duncan is a good man. You’ll be happy with him, Liberty. I wish you and Duncan a lifetime of happiness—and maybe even a son soon.” Hank paused briefly before adding, “Or… maybe don’t have a son. I worry that if you do, you might stop loving Sonny as much.” Even in this moment, Hank’s selfishness shone through; deep down, he wanted Sonny to remain Liberty’s only child. In his mind, as long as Liberty and Duncan remained childless, everything Duncan worked hard for would naturally go to Sonny one day.

However, observing Liberty’s current situation, Hank sighed quietly. He realized his self-serving wish would never come true. Liberty was bound to have another child—perhaps a daughter who would follow in her footsteps and eventually take over the Farrell family in Jensburg.

Hank’s fears continued to weigh on him. If Duncan had a biological child, would he still treat Sonny as well as he did now? This concern had plagued Hank for some time. The last time he saw Sonny, he made sure to tell him to always listen to Serenity. In Hank’s view, Serenity would never show favoritism and would treat all her nieces and nephews equally.

Still, Hank was convinced that Sonny would always hold a special place in Serenity’s heart. After all, she had practically raised him, creating a bond that couldn’t be rivaled. Ultimately, Hank reassured himself that as long as Sonny had Serenity as his aunt, Duncan wouldn’t mistreat the boy. With that thought, he felt a bit more at ease.

Unaware of Hank’s thoughts, Duncan was simply elated. That morning, he had arrived early at the Hunt residence, where Sonny was already awake. Duncan planned to take Liberty and Sonny to the Civil Affairs office.

Bureau and Liberty had dressed Sonny in a brand-new outfit for the occasion. The little boy looked dashing and was undeniably a handsome child. After breakfast, the three of them set out together, planning to return to the Lewis family home for dinner after obtaining the marriage certificate.

As soon as they left, Serenity and Zachary prepared to head out as well. While Zachary drove, he glanced at Serenity and asked, “Do you want to wait at the Lewis house for your sister to come back?” Serenity shook her head. “I think I’ll wait at my aunt’s house instead. Liberty and Duncan are having dinner there tonight anyway. Zachary, do you think they’ll be happy? I mean truly happy? My sister’s been hurt before and has already been through so much.”

Zachary reached over and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “They’ll be happy, Serenity. You know Duncan. He’s a good man and loves Liberty. They’ll grow old together, just like us.” His words brought a small smile to Serenity’s face.

Zachary continued, “Duncan will be her rock, supporting her every step of the way. Liberty’s about to become the head of the Farrell family, but Duncan will stand by her without overshadowing her. Together, they’ll build a strong future.” Serenity let out a small laugh. “Why does it feel like I’m marrying off my daughter?”

Zachary chuckled. “That’s because it’s your sister, not your daughter.” Serenity’s expression softened. “If I ever have a daughter, I swear I won’t rush her into marriage. I’ll let her stay with us as long as she wants. And if she does get married, I won’t let her move too far—she’ll have to stay here in Witspoon.”
