Love at First Novel



Married At First Sight Chapter 3955 Chapter 3955

Liberty and Duncan had only been married a few days-they were still in the blissful honeymoon phase.

Even with Liberty by his side, Duncan couldn't help but video call Sonny multiple times a day. His concern for the little boy seemed to outweigh even that of Sonny's biological mother.

"Is Sonny eating well? Sleeping okay at the Browns' house? Do you think Chelsea's son might bully him?" Duncan often fretted aloud.

Though Sonny had been learning martial arts, he was still young, and his training wasn't solid enough yet. Besides, Sonny was well-mannered and avoided using physical force, which only made Duncan worry more about whether the boy could stand up for himself.

Liberty couldn't help but feel that Duncan was more of a father to Sonny than Hank had ever been.

"Sonny's coming downstairs," Duncan said suddenly, rising to his feet and striding toward the door. He didn't even think about using his wheelchair. Though he could only walk short distances, his determination was evident.noveldrama

Worried he might fall, Liberty quickly excused herself from her neighbors and rushed after him. "Slow down, Duncan. Be careful-you might fall!" she called out, following close behind.

Duncan preferred spending time alone with his little family, so he had waved off the bodyguard earlier.

When Sonny spotted them, he immediately broke away from Hank and dashed toward Duncan.

"Mom! Uncle Duncan!" Sonny's excitement lit up his face as he ran into Duncan's arms.

Duncan paused, steadying himself. Though he couldn't hold his balance for long, he knelt down to meet Sonny. Once Sonny reached him, Duncan lifted the boy into his arms and stood up, though it took effort.

"Sonny," Duncan said warmly, hugging the boy tightly and brushing his cheek against Sonny's. "Did you miss me?"

"Yes, Uncle Duncan! I miss you every day," Sonny replied enthusiastically. "I miss Mommy, Aunt Seren, Uncle Zack-so many people!"

Duncan chuckled at the boy's honesty, lifting Sonny into the air to make him laugh before settling him on his shoulders. "Sonny, I missed you so much that I wanted to come get you and take you home. Let's go home now, okay?"

Sonny held onto Duncan's head for balance. "Uncle Duncan, can you walk?"

Duncan nodded as he began walking. "I can manage short distances. I'm working hard on my rehab, and in a year, I'll be able to run and jump like you. When that happens, I'll take you horseback riding and fishing by the sea. How does that sound?"

"Really? I want to ride a horse!" Sonny said excitedly. He had seen people riding horses at the zoo and had always dreamed of doing it himself-not just for pictures, but to ride freely.

Just then, Liberty caught up with them. "Sonny!" she called, smiling warmly at her son.

Sonny grinned back. "Mom!"

Liberty reached out to take him, but Duncan shook his head. "He likes sitting like this. Don't worry-he's not too heavy for me. Go ahead and grab Sonny's things instead."

Liberty hesitated but eventually agreed. "Alright, but both of you be careful. Watch your step. Duncan, if you start feeling unsteady, sit down immediately."

Duncan smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry I've got this. I'd never let Sonny fall. Even if I went down, he'd be safe."

As Liberty turned to fetch Sonny's belongings, Hank approached with the boy's small suitcase in hand. Behind him, Mr. and Mrs. Brown carried bags of New Year's gifts for Sonny and Liberty.

The Browns' offerings were modest compared to the gifts Sonny had brought back from Liberty's family, but they were heartfelt a small token of their love and care for the little boy and his mother.
