Married At First Sight Chapter 3872 
Chapter 3872 
Although her daughters-in-law weren’t born to her, Mrs. Lewis treated each one with the love of a mother. As long as they joined the Lewis family, supported their husbands, and brought children into the family, she would cherish them as daughters. She gifted each daughter-in-law some treasured jewelry, intending these pieces would one day be passed on to her grandchildren. 
The in-laws of the Lewis family were wealthy in their own right, and each daughter-inlaw brought a considerable dowry. Jewelry wasn’t something they lacked, but they still cherished Mrs. Lewis’s gifts and promised to hand them down within the family. The young wives of the Lewis family had already begun collecting jewelry for their own daughters, embracing a family culture that treated all children equally, regardless of gender. 
Mrs. Lewis had a special fondness for her granddaughters, having had only sons herself. She’d once worried the Lewis home would become too much like the York household, where sons far outnumbered daughters. Fortunately, her family was balanced with granddaughters and grandsons alike: four grandsons and three granddaughters. As for Duncan, whether he and Liberty would have a child was still unknown, but Mrs. Lewis secretly hoped for a granddaughter with Liberty’s gentle features rather than Duncan’s rugged look. 
Liberty accepted the set of jade jewelry from Mrs. Lewis with a heartfelt, “Thank you, Mom.” 
Mrs. Lewis beamed. “No need to thank me. These are for you, after all.” 
Following Mrs. Lewis’s gift, Duncan’s aunts and sisters-in-law each presented Liberty with gifts as well. She hadn’t expected to receive so many gifts at a simple family dinner, but turning them down would seem ungrateful. So, with a warm smile, she accepted them all graciously. 
Even Sonny received gifts from the family when he returned from playing with Rocco, who was just as energetic and mischievous as ever. After dinner, Liberty, along with Sonny, Rocco, and Duncan, went out for a walk. 
The moment the two boys were out of the house, they tore off like wild horses, quickly disappearing around the corner. 
Watching them, Liberty laughed. “Now I understand why Mom and Third Sister-in-law are always worried about Rocco. He’s a little whirlwind! No wonder Sonny talks about him so much. Rocco’s even more of a handful than his uncle Rowan.” 
Rowan, soon to be preparing for college, had matured significantly. While he still had his spirited moments and loved taking Sonny on little adventures, he was mostly a responsible companion, even something of a protective nanny to Sonny. Rocco, on the other hand, was at the perfect age for constant play. Whenever he took Sonny with him, he would go full speed—climbing, running, never slowing down. 
Duncan chuckled. “Sonny’s still young. Kids should have the freedom to just enjoy themselves while they can. Once he starts school, he’ll have a lot more on his plate, and he might not be able to play as freely as he does now.” 
Duncan knew that as smart as Sonny was, his academic path would inevitably add pressures and responsibilities. In time, he’d come to understand the demands of learning, but Duncan also believed in the value of a joyful, carefree childhood—a foundation that would help Sonny thrive in whatever future challenges lay ahead.
