Married At First Sight Chapter 3891-3895 
Chapter 3891 
With Audrey taking care of Sonny, Liberty and Duncan were in high spirits as they left the Stone family home. 
“Go ahead and head home,” Duncan told the two bodyguards assigned to him. “You don’t need to follow me tonight.” 
After all, he had Liberty by his side. Besides, it was their wedding night, and even Sonny was staying with the Stone family. There was no way he was bringing bodyguards along to dampen their moment. 
Since Duncan still struggled with walking, Liberty took the wheel. Every now and then, she’d glance over at her new husband with a playful smile. 
“You’ve been staring at me all night. Haven’t you seen enough?” she teased. “It’s not like you just met me. What’s so fascinating?” 
“Everything,” Duncan replied, his voice soft but sure. “To me, you’re the most beautiful woman in the world.” 
Tonight, sweet words flowed effortlessly from Duncan, as if he’d saved them up just for her. 
“I could stare at you forever,” he added. “Earlier, I had to hold back because I didn’t want my aunt to laugh at me. But now, it’s just us. I can look at you as much as I want.” 
Liberty chuckled. “I didn’t realize I was such a sight tonight. Guess I’ve got some natural charm.” 
“I’m not saying this to charm you,” Duncan replied sincerely. 
“I know,” Liberty said, her tone softening. “You’re not the type to say sweet things just for the sake of it. If you didn’t love me deeply, you wouldn’t say them at all.” 
Duncan’s mind wandered briefly to the past. His mother had once tried to pair him with Lily Harmon, a childhood acquaintance. While Lily was everything his family considered ideal—refined, elegant, and a better match on paper—his heart had never been moved by her. Sweet words never came naturally in Lily’s presence because, simply put, he didn’t love her. 
His heart had always been Liberty’s. He had watched her transform from a woman weighed down—literally and figuratively—by life, into someone confident, capable, and radiant. But even before her transformation, even at her lowest, Duncan had loved her. 
“Liberty,” he said, his voice filled with emotion, “you’re beautiful. You always have been.” 
Liberty glanced at him, amused. “Alright, stop it. I’m driving here. If you keep flattering me, I might get so full of myself that I’ll crash the car into a tree.” 
Duncan laughed. “I’m not flattering you; I’m just telling the truth. You’re incredible. And Hank? He was a fool not to see it. Tomorrow, when we drop Sonny off at his house, I’ll thank him in person—for divorcing you. If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have had the chance to get to know you, fall in love with you, and marry you.” 
Liberty laughed along, but her smile carried a touch of melancholy. “If Hank had valued me, I’d still be married to him. I’d probably still be stuck in that old version of myself— overweight, out of touch, and dependent on him for everything. I wouldn’t have grown the way I have. 
“Sure, I might’ve tried to lose weight, but without the determination I have now, who knows if it would’ve worked? When the divorce happened, I was devastated. We had years together, after all. We were classmates before we were anything else, so even if the love had faded, there was still friendship. How could I not feel sad? I’ll never forget how I went to Seren’s bookstore and just broke down in tears.” 
Her voice softened as she continued. “Honestly, if I hadn’t been hurt so badly, if I hadn’t had Seren and others supporting me, I don’t know if I’d have made it through that time. Losing weight, finding myself—it wasn’t easy. 
“I still remember starting at your company. You told me to run five laps every day because I was ‘too fat’ and it would ‘hurt the company’s image.’” She glanced at him, eyebrows raised. “Back then, I was sure you thought I was ugly.” 
Duncan shook his head, a mix of regret and affection in his expression. “Even then, I admired your strength. I just didn’t know how to show it.” 
Liberty smiled, her hands steady on the wheel. “Well, it all worked out in the end, didn’t
