Married At First Sight Chapter 3952 
Chapter 3952 
     
Evan returned to Wiltspoon the same day. 
Coincidentally, it was also the day Liberty and Duncan went to the Brown family’s house to pick up Sonny. Sonny had been staying there for two days, and during that time, Duncan couldn’t stop talking about him. He video-called Sonny every one or two hours, unable to go too long without seeing him. 
To make those video calls possible, Duncan begrudgingly added Hank as a WhatsApp contact—despite his distaste for Liberty’s ex-husband. He swallowed his pride and made the connection solely for Sonny’s sake. Then, in a bit of mischief, Duncan started flooding his social media with pictures and posts of his growing relationship with Liberty. His goal? To provoke Hank, stirring envy and regret. 
Meanwhile, at the Brown family’s house, Hank was upstairs packing Sonny’s clothes. He moved at an infuriatingly slow pace, clearly stalling to keep Sonny there just a little longer. He knew Duncan was waiting downstairs with Liberty, but he took his time anyway, deliberately dragging things out. 
Duncan, on the other hand, refused to go upstairs. He remained outside with Liberty, respecting her choice to avoid stepping foot in her ex-husband’s home again. Instead, Liberty used the time to chat with some of her former neighbors. 
Through their gossip, she learned that the Brown family hadn’t changed much. Chelsea, her former sister-in-law, still had a habit of freeloading off her parents. The neighbors recounted how, despite all the chaos that had unfolded in the family, Chelsea remained selfish and entitled. Liberty couldn’t help but think about how Hank had enabled his sister, always prioritizing her over his own wife and son. Back then, he’d willingly handed money to Chelsea and their parents rather than ensuring Liberty and Sonny had what they needed. 
Even now, Chelsea’s behavior hadn’t improved. Liberty suspected Chelsea would continue to exploit Sonny if given the chance. Liberty didn’t want her son exposed to such a toxic environment, nor did she want him influenced by Chelsea or her son, Lucas, who had grown up surrounded by poor examples. 
Still, Liberty knew her ex-husband’s family was no longer her concern. She simply listened to the neighborhood gossip without adding her own comments. 
Upstairs, Sonny grew impatient with his father’s sluggish packing. He finally spoke up. 
“Dad, I’ll do it myself!” 
At home, his Aunt Serenity had always encouraged him to be independent, teaching him to fold his clothes and keep his bed neat every day. Sonny was perfectly capable of handling his own packing. 
But Hank waved him off. “No, Sonny, let me take care of it. Go double-check your toys. Did you pack everything? Make sure you didn’t leave anything behind.” 
Hank wasn’t stalling for no reason. His jealousy toward Duncan ran deep. While he had long given up on Liberty—he was the one who filed for divorce and remarried, after all— Sonny was different. Sonny was his only child, his flesh and blood. The thought of Sonny calling Duncan “Dad” in the future burned Hank with envy. 
Duncan, meanwhile, wasn’t subtle about his intentions. He shared every tender moment with Liberty on social media, flaunting their budding romance for all to see. Hank, in retaliation, filled his own posts with pictures of himself and Sonny, showcasing the bond he was determined to strengthen. 
Father and son were undeniably connected. Their resemblance was unmistakable, and the shared blood between them naturally fostered a closeness that couldn’t be denied. Hank clung to that bond, hoping to keep a piece of Sonny’s heart, even as Liberty moved forward with Duncan. 
That day, Duncan arrived earlier than expected. Liberty had initially planned to pick Sonny up in the evening, but Duncan was eager to have Sonny back and insisted on taking him home right away.
