Love at First Novel



Married At First Sight Chapter 3954 Chapter 3954

No matter how much bitterness churned in his heart, Hank had to admit the truth: Duncan genuinely loved Sonny and Liberty.

In every way that mattered, Duncan was a better man than he was.

It was good for Liberty to remarry-better still to choose someone like Duncan.

Even though Duncan was confined to a wheelchair for now, his recovery was still within reach. And when that day came, Duncan would once again stand tall, ready to support Liberty and Sonny as a steady, dependable presence in their lives.noveldrama

"Sonny! Sonny!

Mrs. Brown's voice echoed from the hall.

Hank glanced at his son and said softly, "Sonny, your grandma's calling you. Go see what she wants."

Sonny nodded obediently, then turned and trotted out of the room.

"Grandma!” Sonny called out, his clear, bright voice filling the air.

Hank couldn't help but smile as he listened. Despite everything, moments like this reminded him how much he cherished being around Sonny and his parents.

Still, deep down, he knew the truth-Sonny's custody belonged to Liberty, and that was for the best.

As much as Hank wished to keep Sonny with him, he knew he couldn't provide the kind of stable environment Sonny needed. His days were filled with driving his sports car, socializing, and chasing fleeting thrills. There was no time or place for parenting in that lifestyle.

Trusting his own parents with Sonny wasn't an ideal solution either. And the thought of Chelsea bringing Lucas around made Hank uneasy. Though

his father had finally come to his senses and no longer favored Lucas, his mother's softer heart might still sway under Chelsea's influence. After all, Chelsea's three children had been raised by Hank's parents, creating a bond that ran deep.

"Sonny, here's some New Year's money from your grandparents," Mrs. Brown said, holding out two red envelopes she and her husband had prepared.

Sonny shook his head and refused to take them. Looking up at his grandmother, he spoke with childlike sincerity. "Grandma, I have enough money. Mom says it's not easy for Dad to earn money, and you and Grandpa don't have much pension. I don't want to take your money."

Mrs. Brown froze, her grandson's innocent words tugging at her heart. She regretted her earlier actions, the choices that had driven a wedge in their family.

Bending down, she pulled Sonny into a gentle hug. After a moment, she let him go and softened her tone. “Grandparents still have enough money, Sonny. This isn't about that. This is our way of showing our love for you."

"Take it," Mr. Brown added. "Your mom can save it for when you go to college someday."

Sonny hesitated, glancing between his grandparents. “Grandma, can I ask my mom first? If she says it's okay, then I'll take it. Is that alright? But I want to thank you and Grandpa now. And when I have time, I'll ask Mom to bring me over so I can visit you more often."

Mrs. Brown sighed but smiled at the boy's thoughtful nature. "Alright, Sonny. Ask your mom first." She tucked the red envelopes back into her pocket, then scooped him up in her arms.

Carrying Sonny to the door, she called out to Hank, "Honglin, have you packed Sonny's things? It's chilly today-don't make Liberty wait too long." Hank zipped up Sonny's small suitcase and carried it out of the room. "Everything's ready."

Mr. Brown followed, loaded down with items they had prepared for Sonny. Together, the family escorted Sonny downstairs.

Liberty and Duncan were waiting downstairs.

Duncan sat quietly, his gaze fixed on the elevator doors, his focus unwavering.

Liberty, meanwhile, chatted with a neighbor but kept glancing toward Duncan, her concern evident. She knew he felt out of place here she could sense it in his stillness, his silence.

Duncan was a good man, she thought, her heart softening. She was lucky to have him by her side.
