Chapter 3899

Mrs. Lewis, as a mother-in-law, understood better than to interfere in Liberty’s life. Even her extended family, although not particularly close, had the courtesy to avoid unnecessary drama. Unlike Chelsea, they didn’t create trouble merely to stir things up. Moreover, Liberty had strong support from the York family and a powerful network of business associates. Everyone in Wiltspoon recognized how fiercely Serenity protected her sister. Anyone foolish enough to challenge Liberty would have to face Serenity. And if Serenity was ready for a fight, Zachary wouldn’t just stand by and let it happen.

Liberty exhaled softly, reflecting on her past. “I’m not the same person I once was. Back then, I allowed people to walk all over me. Looking back now, I can’t believe how naïve I was. I gave up my career to be a full-time housewife, dedicating every moment to my husband and child. And what did I receive in return?”

Her expression turned somber as she continued, “Even my health suffered. I neglected myself and let myself go. I became overweight, and I didn’t care because I thought, ‘I’m married now. I have a son. What does it matter?'”

Liberty shook her head, her voice growing firmer. “But after the divorce, I woke up. I realized that if I didn’t love myself, how could I expect anyone else to?”

She straightened her shoulders, her resolve evident. “But that’s all behind me now, Duncan. Let’s not focus on the past. What truly matters is the life we’re building together.”

Duncan smiled at her determination. “You’re right. Let’s concentrate on the future.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea stood on the balcony of Hank’s apartment, squinting as she watched Liberty and Duncan walk away. Even at a distance, Duncan’s wheelchair made him easy to spot.

easily recognizable. George stepped outside to join her. “Didn’t Liberty go upstairs?” he asked softly. Chelsea scoffed in response. “Of course not. She’s married to that cripple, so she has to maintain appearances.” George frowned. “Duncan may be in a wheelchair, but he’s incredibly wealthy. Liberty hit the jackpot. Even in a second marriage, she’s set for a life of luxury. Some people have all the luck.” Chelsea rolled her eyes but couldn’t disagree. “It’s all thanks to Serenity. If her sister hadn’t married into the York family, Liberty would never have met Duncan or had the chance to marry into wealth.”

George nodded thoughtfully. “Duncan’s legs may be injured, but that doesn’t mean he can’t fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. If Liberty marries him, she’s set for life. Honestly, she’d be a fool not to.” He lowered his voice. “And have you heard the rumors? Liberty and Serenity are supposedly descendants of the Farrell family in Jensburg. Their mother was the eldest daughter of that family before she passed away.”

Chelsea sighed heavily, her tone bitter. “Our family really missed an opportunity. If we’d known Liberty came from such a powerful lineage, and if we’d known Serenity would marry into money, I would have stopped Hank from divorcing her. I would have kicked Jessica to the curb myself.” Her voice rose with frustration. “We had a goldmine right under our noses and didn’t realize it. Now people laugh at us for being so blind.”

Their conversation came to an abrupt halt when Hank returned with Sonny. Chelsea quickly darted inside from the balcony, eager to demonstrate her affection. As soon as the door opened, she rushed over, dramatically throwing her arms around Sonny. “Sonny! You’re finally here!”

“Home! Auntie missed you! You’re finally home! I’ve missed you so much. Did you miss me?” Auntie Chelsea exclaimed as she enveloped Sonny in a hug. Sonny squirmed uncomfortably in her embrace, knowing that Auntie Chelsea often spoke ill of his mother and Uncle Duncan.

“I missed you too, Auntie,” Sonny replied flatly, breaking free from her grip and retreating to Hank’s side. Hank picked him up protectively and shot Chelsea a stern look. “Don’t scare him.”

Mr. and Mrs. Brown soon joined them, with Mr. Brown gently pushing Chelsea aside and smiling warmly at Sonny. “Let Grandpa hold him.” Sonny hesitated but ultimately allowed his grandfather to carry him to the sofa.

Meanwhile, Lucas sat nearby, stuffing his face with snacks. The table was laden with treats Hank had bought for Sonny’s visit, but Lucas had claimed most of them. When Lucas saw Sonny, he didn’t even bother to say hello. Instead, he grabbed a plate piled high with snacks and glared at Sonny. “These are all mine,” he declared.

Sonny frowned, feeling annoyed. Brother Lucas was just as bossy as ever. Whenever Sonny visited his dad’s house, Lucas either snatched his toys or hogged the food.

Sonny glanced around and sighed inwardly. This isn’t really my home, he thought. The house where I live with Mom is my true home.
