Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3871

 
Married At First Sight Chapter 3871-3875 
Chapter 3871 
After a lighthearted moment with her third son, Mrs. Lewis turned her attention back to Duncan and Liberty. With a warm smile, she asked, “Duncan, Liberty, when do you plan on getting the marriage certificate? Tomorrow, perhaps? The Civil Affairs Bureau will be closing soon for the holiday, so it’d be ideal to get it done within the next two days.” 
Getting the marriage certificate would give Duncan peace of mind, knowing they’d be legally married even if they waited to have the wedding. For Mrs. Lewis, the marriage certificate also meant that Duncan could finally enjoy a home filled with love, and—she hoped—a grandchild on the way by the time the wedding arrived. 
While Mrs. Lewis would be overjoyed if Liberty chose to have a child with Duncan, she also respected her wishes. After all, she’d seen how well Duncan treated Sonny, and Sonny, being raised with good values, would likely support Duncan in his old age. But secretly, Mrs. Lewis did hope Liberty might consider it. 
Duncan gently nudged Liberty to respond, and she answered easily, “Tomorrow works for us. We’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the morning, have lunch together, and then go to my aunt’s for dinner. My aunt and Grandpa Jimenez have been asking when we’ll come over.” 
Mrs. Lewis beamed. “Wonderful,” she replied. “We’ll have a family dinner tomorrow to celebrate, so everyone can meet you.” 
With that, she turned to her husband and asked him to retrieve a red brocade box from her dressing table upstairs. When he returned, Mrs. Lewis carefully opened the box, revealing an exquisite set of jade jewelry. The deep green jade was of the finest quality, a true treasure meant for special occasions. 
“This set is my wedding gift to you, Liberty,” Mrs. Lewis said, holding out the box. “Even though the wedding itself is a few months away, getting the marriage certificate is a huge milestone, and we want to honor it. Tomorrow, we’ll host a family dinner to officially introduce you to our friends and relatives. 
“I gave each of my daughters-in-law a set of jade jewelry when they joined the family,” she continued with a smile. “Your eldest sister-in-law’s set is a bit more elaborate, as she’s the eldest. But yours, like the other two, is equally meaningful and given with love.” 
She handed the jewelry box to Liberty, who looked to Duncan, hesitant. He nodded, reassuring her. “It’s tradition in our family, so please accept it. Mom did this for my sisters-in-law as well.” 
In truth, Duncan knew that his mother’s jewelry collection was vast. She had always been generous with her daughters-in-law and granddaughters, showering them with beautiful pieces she’d collected over the years. Although Duncan hadn’t received any heirlooms himself—at least not until marriage—he remembered his mother’s words clearly: she had set aside her most precious pieces for her daughters-in-law and granddaughters, as she never had a daughter of her own. 
Liberty smiled, her heart full of gratitude. She accepted the box, understanding that it was more than a gift—it was a heartfelt welcome into the Lewis family.
