Married At First Sight Chapter 3885
Serenity linked arms with Audrey, shing her a reassuring smile. "Aunt, don''t worry. My second cousin Lnd is a good man. When the time is right, he''ll settle down and get married." Audrey sighed, a mix of exasperation and affection in her voice. "I hope so. He''s not exactly young anymore. Kids-they''re always a source of worry, no matter how old they get." Her thoughts shifted, and she asked, "Where''s Sonny? Didn''t youe from your sister''s house? Why isn''t he with you?"
"My sister and brother Duncan took Sonny with them to the Civil Affairs Bureau. They said it''s a family matter, so all three of them had to go together," Serenity exined.
Audrey chuckled. "Duncan doesn''t mind bringing along a little tag-along, huh? That''s good. They''re going to be a family of three from now on."
The three walked together toward Mr. Jimenez, who sat peacefully in the garden. His warm, gentle smile greeted them.
To the younger generation, Mr. Jimenez was the picture of kindness. His love and indulgence for his family knew no bounds, and they cherished him for it.
"Grandpa Jimenez," Serenity greeted warmly, using the affectionate title everyone in the family had adopted.
Though technically his surname, Mr. Jimenez never corrected them. As long as they addressed him with care, he was happy.
"You''re here," he said, his smile growing. "But where''s Sonny? Didn''t hee along?" He echoed Audrey''s earlier question, prompting Serenity to exin again.
Hearing this, Mr. Jimenez nodded approvingly. "That''s even better. Duncan, the fourth of the Lewis boys, is a man of loyalty and honor. When I was younger, I heard about his grandmother-she was an incredible woman. Her grandson wouldn''t stray far from her example."
As a young man, Mr. Jimenez had traveled extensively for business, encountering stories and legacies of families across the region. Though he had never met Old Mrs. Lewis, her reputation had preceded her.
"Come inside," Mr. Jimenez urged. "It''s still a bit chilly out here. Seren, you shouldyer up. Don''t catch a cold."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"I''m fine, Grandpa Jimenez," Serenity replied quickly. "I''m bundled up and warm. Plus, with Zachary around, he''d never let me get sick."
Mr. Jimenez smiled,forted by her response. The younger generation was thriving, and it brought him immense peace.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Duncan and Liberty stood side by side, holding their new marriage certificates. The small booklets seemed ordinary, but to Duncan, they were priceless treasures.
He opened his certificate, gazing at the photo of him and Liberty. A grin spread across his face-wide and genuine.
Finally, the woman he loved was his wife. Liberty was now his in every legal and emotional sense.
Beside them, Sonny looked around, his face a mixture of curiosity and confusion. He had apanied his mother and Uncle Duncan, but he didn''t quite understand what all the fuss was about. Everyone at the bureau had been so cheerful and congrattory to his mother and Duncan, yet not a single person had congratted him.
"Mom," Sonny said, tugging at Liberty''s sleeve. "Why is Uncle Duncan smiling so big? What''s so great about that little notebook? Can I see it?"
Liberty knelt down to Sonny''s level, smiling at her son''s innocence. His wide eyes were filled with genuine curiosity, and his question drewughter from Duncan.
Duncan leaned over, holding his marriage certificate with pride. "Sonny, this little notebook means your mom and I are now officially a team-a family. And you''re a very important part of that family."
Sonny tilted his head, still not entirely convinced about the importance of the notebook, but the warmth in Duncan''s voice made him smile back. "Okay, Uncle Duncan. But next time, can we get a notebook for me too?"
Duncan and Liberty bothughed, their joy spilling over and wrapping Sonny in their shared happiness.
