Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4435

Chapter 4435 
After a moment of silence, Hank said to Jessica, “The past is the past. Let’s leave it behind and look ahead.” Jessica nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. “Hank, please take care of yourself out there. You look older now… like you’ve been through a lot.” 
She knew Hank was still driving for a ride-hailing service and barely making ends meet. It was nothing compared to his salary when he was an office manager. 
If they hadn’t made such a huge mistake, maybe Hank would still be on the rise, building a better life. 
But the more she thought about it, the more she accepted it. 
Back then, Hank was fed up with Liberty. She changed too much after giving birth. Even if Hank hadn’t cheated, maybe she would’ve ended up cheating too. Neither of them ruined Hank’s life alone. 
They both made selfish choices. They both had unrealistic expectations. 

The way things turned out—it wasn’t unfair. 
Hank smiled faintly. “I am tired. But I’m managing.” 
“If you turn things around, I’ll wait for you to get out. I’ll save some money, and when you’re free, I’ll make it up to you. We’ll live out our days in peace together.” Jessica looked at him sincerely. “Hank, Sonny asked me today why we didn’t give him a little brother or sister. He said his mom might have one with Uncle Duncan.” 
Hank stopped talking there. 
Jessica understood immediately—this visit was because he was thinking about their lost child. 
The pain hit her hard. 
Losing that child still tore her apart. 
After a moment, she asked softly, “Is Sonny doing okay? Did Liberty really have another baby?” 
“Sonny’s fine. Liberty hasn’t had another kid yet. She got her marriage certificate with the fourth young master of the Lewis family a few years ago, but they haven’t had the wedding. She’s the head of the Farrell family in Jensburg now—super busy. No time to take care of Sonny.” 
“Sonny still lives with his aunt. He told me he’s moving to Jensburg for the summer to live with his mom and will transfer to a kindergarten there.” Hank gave a bitter smile. “I’ve failed as a father. I couldn’t give Sonny a better life. I just keep watching him drift further away. Serenity gave birth to a baby boy recently. Once she’s out of confinement, I guess Liberty and Lewis will finally have their wedding.” 
Duncan treats Liberty really well—he treats Sonny like his own. 
He won’t let her down. That wedding will be grand. 
When Hank married Liberty, he held a wedding too. But it wasn’t grand. No one from Liberty’s family came except Serenity. 
Oh, halfway through, some Hunts showed up and caused a scene, demanding a $300,000 bride price. 
Liberty’s grandparents led the charge. They said if Hank didn’t pay, the wedding wouldn’t go on. 
Liberty and her sisters had long been estranged from their hometown relatives. Of course they weren’t going to let Hank pay that money. In the end, hotel security had to kick them out. 
The wedding day ended with drama and bad feelings. 
Maybe that was the first sign their marriage wouldn’t last. 
“Liberty is lucky,” Jessica said bitterly. “I really envy her.” 
She had done everything to break up Liberty and Hank, to steal Hank and marry him, thinking it would bring happiness. 
But life had other plans. 
Instead of finding happiness, she lost everything.
