Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3886

Chapter 3886 
Liberty glanced at Duncan, her lips curving into a teasing smile. “Duncan, your grin is so big it’s practically reaching your ears.” 
Duncan’s smile grew even brighter, if that were possible. “I’m happy—beyond happy.” 
The weather that day was fickle, alternating between sun and clouds, but even the sunniest moment couldn’t compete with the radiance of Duncan’s smile. 
Liberty handed her marriage certificate to Sonny, who eagerly flipped through it. He recognized a few words but didn’t fully grasp the meaning. What caught his attention most was the picture of his mother and Uncle Duncan. 
Looking up, Sonny asked curiously, “Mom, I was there too. Why didn’t the man who took your picture ask me to be in it?” 
Liberty crouched down to his level, her tone gentle. “Sweetheart, this is a marriage certificate for Uncle Duncan and me. That’s why it’s just the two of us in the photo. From now on, Uncle Duncan and I are officially a family—a family of three. Isn’t that exciting?” 
She scooped Sonny up, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. “You can even call Uncle Duncan ‘Dad’ now if you want.” 
Sonny looked at Duncan, who was grinning like he’d won the lottery. His lips moved, but the word “Dad” wouldn’t come out. He hesitated, not out of rejection but because he was used to calling someone else by that name—his biological father. 
After a moment, Sonny asked, “Mom, can I just keep calling him Uncle Duncan?” 
Before Liberty could respond, Duncan chimed in with an easygoing smile. “Of course, Sonny. You can call me whatever makes you comfortable.” 
With that settled, Duncan tucked his marriage certificate safely into his pocket and held out his arms. Liberty handed Sonny to him, and Duncan settled the little boy on his lap. Liberty took hold of the wheelchair, guiding them toward the exit of the Civil Affairs Bureau. 
“Sonny,” Duncan said warmly, “you can call me Dad, or you can keep calling me Uncle Duncan. It’s completely up to you. No pressure, okay?” 
He leaned forward and kissed Sonny’s cheek. Duncan had taken extra care that morning, shaving his beard to ensure he’d look his best for the big day. The effort paid off—this time, Sonny didn’t complain about his scratchy beard. 
Duncan turned to Liberty, his voice filled with sincerity. “Liberty, it’s okay if Sonny keeps calling me Uncle Duncan. It doesn’t matter to me. No matter what he calls me, I’ll always treat him like my own son.” 
Liberty’s eyes softened as she nodded. “I won’t push him. I just wanted him to know he has the option.” 
Sonny, still processing the day’s events, piped up again. “Uncle Duncan, now that you’re married to my mom, are you going to move in and live with us?” 
Duncan chuckled, appreciating the little boy’s straightforwardness. “That’s right. Starting tonight, I’ll be living with you and your mom. From now on, we’re all together—no more being apart. Sound good?” 
Sonny clapped his hands enthusiastically. “Okay! I warmly welcome you, Uncle Duncan!” 
His genuine excitement brought a smile to both Liberty and Duncan’s faces. They exchanged a glance, a shared understanding passing between them—they were building something solid and filled with love. 
As they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, Duncan’s two bodyguards were waiting by the car. The moment they spotted the family, the bodyguards stepped forward to greet them, their professional demeanor contrasting with the warmth of the trio. 
For Duncan, Liberty, and Sonny, this was the beginning of a new chapter—one filled with promise, unity, and joy.
