Chapter 3721
Kathryn wasn’t concerned about what Holden and Marco were saying. She could guess—they were likely cursing her.
She asked Pedro to take her back to the office.
As soon as she returned, she poured herself a cup of warm water. But before she could take a sip, her secretary called to say that Liberty had arrived.
“Please, let her in,” Kathryn replied.
She hadn’t expected Liberty to visit so soon. It wasn’t likely about asking her to step down; it was probably to show concern.
A few minutes later, the secretary brought Liberty in.
“You can go back to work,” Kathryn told the secretary.
After the door closed, Kathryn looked at Liberty for a moment and said, feeling uncertain, “Liberty, I don’t know how to face you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to hurt you,” Liberty replied calmly, sitting on the sofa.
Kathryn smiled bitterly. “Killing me would only dirty your hands.”
Even her own mother and cousins hadn’t wanted to handle her directly, thinking it would be beneath them.
“What would you like to drink?” Kathryn asked.
“I haven’t been sleeping well, and I’m exhausted. If you have coffee, I’ll take a cup,” Liberty said.
Kathryn set her water aside. “Okay, I’ll make some coffee for both of us. I need it too.”
She hadn’t been sleeping well either, relying on coffee just to get through the days.
After a little while, Kathryn returned with two steaming cups of coffee.
Seeing Liberty take off her coat, Kathryn asked, “Are you warm? I can turn down the heater.”
Liberty replied lightly, “No, I’m just hot from coming in from outside.”
Now, inside Kathryn’s office, the temperature felt just right—neither too hot nor too cold.
Kathryn set one cup of coffee in front of Liberty and went to grab some snacks, placing them on the table.
Liberty didn’t rush to drink her coffee. Instead, she looked at Kathryn closely.
Noticing how tired Kathryn appeared, with dark circles under her eyes, Liberty could tell it was due to grief and sleepless nights. Clarissa may have been a villain to many, but she was still Kathryn’s mother.
“Do I look awful?” Kathryn asked.
She was dressed plainly.
Liberty, being honest, said, “Not as good as usual.”
“I’m not beautiful at all,” Kathryn replied. “I’ve never thought of myself as a beauty.”
She felt she was only somewhat attractive, unlike the other women in her family who were stunning and elegant.
Her cousin Audrey, even as she approached old age, had aged well and still looked charming. It was clear Audrey had been a beauty in her youth.
Elisa and Liberty were both very attractive too.
“You’re not ugly either. You have a unique appearance and presence that many people don’t have,” Liberty said, picking up her coffee. “I just came to check on you. There’s nothing else. Don’t worry about things.”
“Where are my cousin and the others? Have they gone home yet?” Kathryn asked, referring to Audrey and her family.
“Not yet,” Liberty replied. “My aunt is staying at Hayden’s house, and Grandpa Jimenez said he’ll stick around a little longer. He mentioned wanting to catch up with Old Mr. Fontaine.”
There weren’t many people left from Mr. Jimenez’s generation.

Chapter 3722
Kathryn stayed quiet for a moment, then said, “He should stay longer after going back home. Liberty, tell my cousin to give me a few days, and I’ll vacate the mansion so you can move in. I still stand by what I said before.”
Liberty didn’t respond right away. She sipped her coffee calmly. After finishing half the cup, she set it down and looked at Kathryn, who met her gaze. They stared at each other for a full two minutes before Liberty finally spoke, her tone light. “Don’t rush. Let’s deal with it after the New Year. My aunt hasn’t made any decisions yet.”
Kathryn also set down her coffee cup. “It still needs to be cleared out, and someone will have to clean it. Even if you don’t move in right away, it’s better for it to be empty and free of my mother’s presence so it doesn’t feel too strange to you.”
The Farrell family mansion wasn’t exactly private property; it was meant for the head of the family and their relatives to live in. But since the family leaders had always been from the same direct line, there was no need to move out when a new head took over.
So, even though the mansion wasn’t technically private property, it had always functioned that way for the family leaders and their descendants. Outsiders, unless married in, weren’t allowed to live there.
“Let’s celebrate the New Year first,” Liberty softened her voice. “The New Year is almost here.”
“I have somewhere to live,” Kathryn replied, understanding that Liberty didn’t want her to be without a home for the holidays.
Smiling, she added, “You know, before I came back, I built a successful business. I have my own company, a villa, a house, cars, money—I don’t lack anything.”
In the past, she felt she was missing a partner, but now that she had Pedro, she felt content.
“I never felt at home in that mansion anyway. I’d rather move back to my villa. That’s where I feel comfortable and at ease, with no pressure.”
Liberty didn’t argue. She let Kathryn choose where she wanted to live. After all, Audrey was the one managing the Farrell family mansion now, and no one else was allowed in except Kathryn. Holden and his sons had already been kicked out by Clarissa and were staying at the eldest son’s house.
“How’s your dad?” Liberty asked suddenly.
“He’s not going to die,” Kathryn replied, with a hint of sarcasm. “He’s just like my mom said—always trying to control me. But I’m not someone who can be controlled.”
Kathryn laughed bitterly. She had no real feelings for her father, and even if she did, she wouldn’t let him control her.
“We all believe in you,” Liberty said reassuringly.
Kathryn was touched. “Thank you, Liberty. When are you planning to take over the Farrell Group? If you need me to stay and help lead, just let me know. I’ve been here for two or three years and have some experience.”
Toward the end, Kathryn had gained control, and when Clarissa wasn’t around, she was the one running the company.
Liberty sipped her coffee slowly. She knew Kathryn had managed the Farrell Group well. But Kathryn was still Clarissa’s daughter, and even though Kathryn was a good person, her presence made the family members uneasy.
Kathryn had always said she wouldn’t take anything that wasn’t hers, but what was hers, no one could take away.
After a long pause, Liberty said, “Let’s discuss it after the New Year. Right now, I need to focus on my personal life before worrying about the company.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3723
Chapter 3723
Kathryn congratulated Liberty, saying, “Have you and Mr. Lewis decided to get married? Congratulations! I hope you both enjoy a long life together, and I wish you a daughter soon.”
Liberty already had a son, so there wasn’t a rush to have another child. In the future, when she became head of the Farrell family, it would be important for her to have a daughter to succeed her.
Liberty smiled, accepting the congratulations, and replied, “It hasn’t been easy for Duncan and me to get to this point. Since we’re both not getting any younger, we decided to move forward with things. Thank you for your well wishes, Kathryn, but there’s no rush to have another child right now.”
Liberty didn’t feel she had the energy for another child. Whether or not she took over the Farrell family, she was already very busy. Her new company was doing well but wasn’t fully established yet. Its current stability relied heavily on the influence of her brother-in-law, Zachary, and others.
Being a strong, independent woman, Liberty was determined to reduce her reliance on her brother-in-law and others, aiming to make a name for herself in the business world through her own efforts.
Kathryn offered advice, “Liberty, if you take over the Farrell family, I suggest having a daughter as soon as possible. You and Mr. Lewis aren’t getting any younger. Waiting too long might make it harder for you to care for a child, and it could affect your health. Think about your grandmother—she had a child later in life and it weakened her body, which gave my mother the chance to step in.”
Kathryn herself was born to an older mother. Her mom, Clarissa, had her at 43 and passed away at 71 when Kathryn was just 28. While some people became grandparents in their 40s, others, like Kathryn’s mother, were still having children.
She continued, “And you can’t be sure your second child will be a daughter. If it’s another son, you might need to try again, which would take even more time.”
Liberty replied, “Kathryn, you once said if someone doesn’t want a husband, they can just get a sperm donor to have a baby. That’s basically IVF. I could use IVF for my second child to make sure I have a daughter.”
“Or…” Liberty’s eyes sparkled as she quietly added, “We could change the rules so the successor isn’t based on gender but on virtue and ability.”
Kathryn smiled. “Liberty, this is why we get along so well. We often think the same way.”
Kathryn also believed that if she ever gained power, she would change outdated traditions, including the rule about needing a daughter to inherit. Only those with virtue and ability should lead the Farrell family, and this would prevent women in power from harming their bodies by constantly trying to have a daughter.
She then whispered, “Hospitals don’t allow gender selection for IVF, unless you go abroad. Or, we could just change the rules so gender doesn’t matter anymore. Still, I think it’s better for us women to be in charge, haha.”
Kathryn laughed, and Liberty joined in. Liberty agreed that women made excellent leaders. Having spent three years as a housewife and enduring many challenges, she now preferred to be self-reliant, making her own money and living freely without depending on anyone, even Duncan.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3724
Chapter 3724Kathryn said, “I’m not married yet, so I’m not thinking about having a second child right now.”
Liberty responded, “When will you and Pedro invite us to your wedding? The issues from the past are behind us. When you and Pedro do get married, make sure to invite us.”
Liberty and the others had a good impression of Kathryn. They had seen everything Kathryn had done, and truthfully, Kathryn had indirectly saved Liberty’s life. If Kathryn hadn’t warned her, and Clarissa had tried to kill her suddenly, Liberty’s bodyguards might not have been able to protect her.
Liberty already liked Kathryn, but after that event, she appreciated her even more.
Kathryn’s smile faded a little as she said, “Pedro and I aren’t in a hurry. The earliest we’ll get married is the end of the year. Things are too chaotic right now.”
Liberty nodded, understanding. “As long as you and Pedro are in sync, that’s all that matters.”
Kathryn added, “He’s a good man. We haven’t dated long, but we know how we feel about each other. He’s also not rushing. He says we should take our time—fall in love, get engaged, then get married. He believes we should go step by step. What others have, I’ll have too. What I have, others might not.”
Liberty smiled, “My aunt and I are very happy that you’re with him. He’s someone you can trust your life with.”
The people trained by the Farrell family were very loyal. Even if the young master didn’t take over, they would still follow him and remain committed.
When Audrey was mentioned, Kathryn’s smile disappeared, and she became more serious. She asked cautiously, “Has my cousin said anything?”
She still felt a sense of awe toward Audrey, who was much older than her.
Even though Kathryn had built her own career, she felt she couldn’t quite measure up to Audrey’s noble and dignified presence.
Liberty replied, “My aunt didn’t say much, just asked me to check on you when I can and encourage you not to dwell on it. As for your mother, she brought it on herself.”
After a few moments of silence, Kathryn sighed bitterly and said, “I know my mother is to blame. I don’t blame anyone, but she was still my mother. Losing her hurts. I haven’t been eating or sleeping well. I feel like I’m living in a dream.”
Liberty could tell from Kathryn’s dark circles and pale face that she was struggling.
“Give yourself time,” Kathryn added. “I need time to heal.”
Liberty suggested, “During the New Year holiday, take a trip and relax. Staying at home will just remind you of your loss and make things harder.”
Liberty understood Kathryn’s pain. No matter what Clarissa had done, she was still Kathryn’s mother. It’s natural to grieve for a parent.
Even if someone lives to be ninety-nine, as long as their mother is alive, they feel like a child. Losing that connection makes one feel like an orphan.
Liberty had experienced this pain herself when she lost both of her parents suddenly. The grief felt overwhelming, as though her world had collapsed.
After their parents died, Liberty and her sister were thrown out of their grandparents’ house. She would never forget the day it happened.
It was raining when her grandparents, showing no concern for the fact that neither Liberty nor her sister were adults, tossed their few belongings outside and shut the door behind them without mercy.
They only received $200,000 in compensation for their parents’ deaths, thanks to the village officials who stepped in. Otherwise, they might not have gotten anything at all.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3725
Chapter 3725
Although they had $200,000 to support them, Liberty and her sister were just children—15 and 10 years old—when their parents died. They had been pampered and had never faced hardships. Losing their parents and being kicked out of the house was a shock. Liberty’s younger sister was especially upset, often crying because she missed their parents.
When Liberty comforted her, both of them would often end up crying.
Now, Liberty could understand how Kathryn was feeling.
Kathryn, however, was luckier than Liberty and her sister. Kathryn was nearly 30 years old, and her father had three brothers, so no one could force her out of the house.
Kathryn said, “I’ll take a break and go for a walk. Thank my cousin for me. Ask her when she plans to hand over the company and family matters, and I’ll cooperate whenever she’s ready. I don’t blame any of you for my mother’s death.”
Her mother was responsible for her own actions. Even if she hadn’t committed suicide, she wouldn’t have survived prison.
Liberty replied, “Okay.”
Then Kathryn added, “You should get back to work now, but don’t stay too late. Go home and rest early.”
Liberty stood up, gave Kathryn a few more reminders, and said goodbye.
Outside, Liberty ran into Pedro.
Pedro greeted her, and they chatted briefly. Liberty told him, “Take good care of Kathryn. Make sure she gets out, relaxes, and rests. Health is the most important thing right now.”
“Thank you, Miss Hunt, for your concern for Kathryn. I will.”
Liberty trusted Pedro. He loved Kathryn deeply and would take good care of her.
Liberty said, “I’m busy too, so I’ll head back now.”
Pedro watched Liberty get into her car and leave before he entered the Farrell Group building.
On her way back to work, Liberty received a call from Duncan.
“Duncan.”
Now that everything was resolved, Liberty felt much more at ease, and Duncan seemed to feel the same.
“Liberty, are you busy?” Duncan asked with a smile. “If you’re free, can you pick me up from the airport? If not, I’ll grab a taxi.”
“You’re here?” Liberty’s voice was calm, but she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
They usually kept in touch through phone calls or video chats. Duncan missed her a lot, though Liberty was a bit more focused on work and only really thought about him and her son, Sonny, in the evenings when she could relax.
“Now that Clarissa and her assistant are gone, there’s no danger for me here. If you hadn’t insisted I stay away, I would’ve come sooner. I didn’t want to be a burden to you or let you face everything alone.”
Duncan had already landed. He was in a wheelchair, being pushed by a bodyguard while another one carried his suitcase.
He planned to stay until Liberty could take a break, and then they would return to Wiltspoon together. With Sonny away, it would be a chance for them to finally spend some time alone.
In the past, they were always careful around Sonny, exchanging only brief looks, afraid to be too affectionate in front of him.
“Have you gotten off the plane?” Liberty asked.
“Yes, we’re just leaving the airport now. Actually, don’t bother coming to pick me up—it’s more than an hour’s drive. I’ll just take a taxi so you don’t have to rush.”
This way, Duncan wouldn’t have to wait too long at the airport.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3726
Chapter 3726
Liberty smiled and said, “I didn’t plan on picking you up. If you had told me earlier, I would have, but since you didn’t, it’s better for you to take a taxi now instead of waiting over an hour for me.”
It was easier for everyone this way.
“I’m heading back to the company now. Just send me a message when you’re close, and I’ll come meet you,” she added.
Duncan smiled and said, “Okay, we’ll take a taxi and I’ll message you when we get there. Where were you earlier?”
“I went to Farrell Group to check on Kathryn. She’s a good person,” Liberty replied.
Duncan hesitated, then asked, “Are you sure she doesn’t hold any resentment against you?”
“Not at all. From the way she looked at me and how she acted, I can tell she doesn’t blame any of us. What happened was her mother’s fault. Clarissa deserved what happened. Kathryn’s values are solid.”
Liberty trusted her ability to read people and felt sure that Kathryn was sincere.
Duncan had also done some digging when he first met Kathryn and found out that she was fair and reasonable.
“Liberty, I’m calling a taxi now. Let’s talk more when we meet. How about we have dinner tonight, just the two of us?”
Liberty agreed easily, “Sounds good.”
After hanging up, Liberty couldn’t help but smile.
Jim, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to tease her.
Liberty shot back, “If you’re jealous, you should find a girlfriend yourself and treat her right.”
Jim replied, “I haven’t found the right one. The women I meet only want to get close to the young master through me. Forget it. When I’m a bit older, I’ll go back home for a blind date and marry someone from there. The girls in my hometown don’t know the young master, so they won’t have hidden agendas.”
Jim was wary of women in Wiltspoon using him to get closer to his boss, Zachary. They pretended to love him, but they were really after Zachary, since Jim had been his personal bodyguard for years and earned his trust.
Zachary had sent Jim to Jensburg to keep an eye on Liberty, ensuring she was safe while also helping Jim avoid being used by people trying to get to Zachary.
“Zachary and Serenity have been married for years, and their baby is on the way, but some women are still chasing after Zachary,” Liberty said with a sigh. “It’s hard when a man is too handsome.”
Luckily, not many women were after Duncan. It might have been because of the scar on his face or his rough appearance, which didn’t appeal to most of the high-society women in Wiltspoon. Even Sonny had been scared of Duncan at first because of the scar.
But Duncan adored Sonny and always tried to hold him, though he wasn’t very good at dealing with kids and often gave him windmills as gifts.
Jim quickly defended Zachary: “Sister Liberty, our eldest master is completely loyal. In his heart and eyes, there’s only the eldest mistress. No other woman, except for family, can get close to him. He was like that before, and he still is now. He always has bodyguards with him to keep those infatuated girls away. Think about Miss Stone—she chased after him for years, but even she gave up in the end.”
Elisa had let go once she found out Zachary was married, deciding that as a wealthy woman, she didn’t need to compete for any man.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3727
Chapter 3727Liberty said, “How can they compare to my cousin? Elisa has a positive attitude. When she liked Zachary, he was single. Once she found out he was married, she was sad but stopped pursuing him.”
“Many people are like Analia,” Liberty added, knowing about Analia’s actions but staying silent, trusting that Serenity and Zachary could handle it.
Even though the situation was resolved, it showed that, despite being married, some people still had improper thoughts about Zachary, wanting to take Serenity’s place.
Ultimately, they believed Serenity’s background wasn’t good enough for Zachary.
Liberty wanted to support Serenity and give her confidence. So when Audrey asked her to go to Jensburg to compete with Kathryn for the head of the family, she agreed.
If Liberty took over the Farrell family, it would show that Serenity came from a respected family, proving her background was worthy of Zachary.
Luckily, the York family never looked down on Serenity.
Serenity now has her own successful business.
Still, some people say Serenity’s company thrives because of Zachary’s influence. They claim if she weren’t part of the York family, she wouldn’t have as much capital or so many loyal customers. Even with her expanding market, she doesn’t worry about sales.
At worst, she has the support of the Yorks and Stones.
People jealous of Serenity would always find something to criticize, no matter what she did.
But Serenity didn’t let it bother her.
In her words, the more jealous people were of her, the better life she wanted to live, so they would envy and hate her even more.
Jim didn’t know what to say.
He had been with Zachary for years and knew how many people had their eyes on him, but just didn’t have the chance.
Few had the same values as Elisa, who held herself with pride because she was also exceptional.
“In short, Ms. Hunt, don’t worry about anyone replacing our eldest young lady. We know the eldest young master’s character—he is loyal to his feelings. The men in the York family are very responsible.”
Liberty smiled, “I trust Zachary. I didn’t say I didn’t. It’s just that he’s so handsome and important, it’s easy for people to be attracted to him. But the more people like him, the more it shows how happy Seren is.”
She also believed Serenity could hold onto Zachary and wouldn’t let anyone take him away.
If Zachary could be taken, Liberty was sure Serenity would cut him loose quickly.
Serenity always said, “If someone can steal it, it’s not real love.”
“Jim, what kind of girlfriend do you want? I can help find a few and introduce you.” Liberty wanted to set Jim up.
She even asked the driver if he wanted her to find him a girlfriend too.
The driver laughed and said, “Ms. Hunt, you should find one for Jim first. I’m a year younger than him. There’s no rush, I can wait another couple of years.”
“Well, I’ve met a few nice girls from the Farrell family. They come from good families, and their parents and brothers are honest people. I’ll look into it and introduce them if it works out. You’ve all worked hard to protect me these past months. I’d feel bad if I didn’t help you find girlfriends.”
Jim and the others were speechless.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3728
Chapter 3728
They were just following orders. Working for Liberty, they earned better pay and bonuses than when they worked for Zachary.
Liberty didn’t need to worry about their personal lives, but if there was a good match, they wouldn’t mind meeting someone.
Liberty returned to her office and finally focused on work.
Later, as evening approached, she received a message from Duncan saying he’d arrive at her company in two minutes.
Liberty quickly packed up and went downstairs to meet him.
At the same time, she called Audrey, letting her know she wouldn’t be home for dinner since she was eating out with Duncan.
When Audrey heard that Duncan was coming, she chuckled and said, “Duncan’s eager! Alright, enjoy your time together.”
Duncan seemed deeply in love with Liberty and couldn’t wait to see her.
As Liberty stepped out of the office building, she noticed a car parked outside.
Soon, Duncan emerged from the car.
He stood by, waiting for his bodyguards to unload the suitcases and wheelchair from the car.
It seemed like he could stand for short periods and walk a little farther now.
Liberty hadn’t seen him in a while and wasn’t sure how his recovery was going. He had told her he was doing physical therapy every day, determined to walk like a normal person by the time they had their wedding.
He didn’t want to marry her while still in a wheelchair.
Liberty smiled as she walked out.
When Duncan saw her, he smiled widely and started walking toward her.
One of the bodyguards pushed the wheelchair and called out, “Young Master, sit down. Don’t overdo it.”
Another bodyguard, who was carrying the suitcase, whispered to his colleague, “He’s seen Miss Hunt; he’s not sitting down now.”
Duncan could walk short distances, but his steps were still unsteady. Nevertheless, it was considered good progress.
At his last check-up, the doctors were impressed with his recovery. They initially thought it would take years for him to walk again.
But after just a few months of therapy, Duncan was already walking short distances. His strong willpower had played a big role in his recovery.
What the doctors didn’t know was how many times Duncan had nearly given up. Luckily, Liberty was his emotional support, helping him push through.
The bodyguard pushing the wheelchair didn’t say anything, worried Duncan might collapse.
But Liberty saw Duncan walking and quickly ran to him.
“Duncan, you’re not fully recovered yet. Be careful!” she called out, rushing toward him.
Just as she reached him, Duncan looked like he was about to fall.
Liberty caught him before he could hit the ground.
The two bodyguards stayed back, giving them space.
The one dragging the suitcase whispered to his colleague, “He did that on purpose.”
His colleague gave him a glance and whispered back, “Keep that to yourself. If he hears you, your bonus will be docked.”
The bodyguard quickly fell silent.
Duncan missed Liberty so much that he didn’t mind acting a little dramatic to get closer to her.
“I told you not to push yourself,” Liberty scolded gently. “If you fall, I’ll feel terrible.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3729
Chapter 3729
Duncan said, “I was so focused on seeing you that I forgot everything else. When I walked toward you, I forgot I’m still recovering.”
Before he could say more, Liberty gently pressed her hand to his lips.
“Don’t say you’re disabled,” she said firmly. “You’re just temporarily unable to move. You’ll get better.”
Duncan’s eyes were full of admiration for her, and he smiled. “Alright, I won’t say that again. I will get better. For you, I’ll stand on my own again.”
“You’re already standing, but you can’t walk too far yet,” Liberty said, supporting him. “Do you want to go back to my office first?”
“Are you finished?” Duncan asked, glancing at the sky. “It’s getting dark, though it’s only five o’clock. Winter days are short, and it’s cloudy today, so it feels darker.”
“I’m done,” Liberty replied.
“Then let’s go eat. I’m hungry,” Duncan said.
He didn’t want to go into her office, knowing he’d end up staying longer. He preferred to head back to the hotel so the bodyguards wouldn’t need to follow. After dinner, they could take a walk and talk. He had missed her deeply and had a lot on his mind.
Usually, she worked late into the night, and even though he missed her, he waited patiently until she was free for a video call. Sometimes, she also needed to talk to her son, Sonny, before resting.
“Alright, let’s head to the hotel,” Liberty said, helping him turn and walk out.
“Miss Hunt,” the two bodyguards greeted respectfully.
Liberty smiled and nodded at them.
“I’ll call Jim and have him bring the car around,” she said, but just as she reached for her phone, Jim had already driven up.
“Ms. Hunt, Mr. Lewis,” Jim said as he parked, stepping out to help Duncan into the car with Liberty.
A second car pulled up behind them, and Duncan’s bodyguards got into their own vehicle.
As the car started moving, Duncan couldn’t resist hugging Liberty.
She hugged him back with emotion, but they quickly let go, remembering Jim was there, focused on driving.
“Have you sorted everything at your company?” Liberty asked gently.
“Yes, everything’s under control. I’ve got three brothers helping me, so there’s no need to worry,” Duncan replied, still holding her hand tightly.
“I’ve wanted to come see you for a long time, but I was nervous. I was afraid I’d hold you back,” he confessed. “Liberty, do you think I’m useless? I wasn’t there when you needed me most.”
He was referring to when Sonny was kidnapped. He hadn’t been there, and when he finally arrived, Liberty had been lying in a pool of blood. The memory of that moment cut him deeply, filling him with pain and fear.
In that moment, he realized how much he loved her. He couldn’t lose her.
Thankfully, his prayers were answered, and Liberty survived.
Now, she was fine, but once again, he wasn’t able to be by her side when she faced danger. Even though he had arranged for people to protect her and things seemed safer than before, he was still worried, afraid, and could only wait for good news.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3730
Chapter 3730
Luckily, things turned out okay, though it was a close call.
Clarissa’s first target for a hostage was Liberty.
First, Liberty wasn’t trained in self-defense. Second, she was Audrey and Kathryn’s chosen successor, and finally, Liberty held enough importance in Audrey’s group that capturing her would keep the York, Lewis, and Stone families from acting rashly.
Thankfully, Lilian reacted quickly and pulled Liberty back before Clarissa could capture her. Otherwise, the outcome could have been terrible.
When Duncan heard what happened, he was terrified and blamed himself. He felt useless, thinking that after all his rehabilitation, he still couldn’t walk normally or protect Liberty in dangerous situations.
“Duncan,” Liberty said softly, “You’re doing it again. I told you not to overthink or put yourself down. You are not useless. You’re capable, successful, and even Zachary and Clive have praised you for building your business without relying on your family.”
Duncan smiled, “Alright, I won’t say that anymore.”
He hugged Liberty tightly again, holding her close.
Liberty rested quietly in his arms.
“Liberty, I’m just so relieved you’re okay. What if something had happened to you and Sonny? That night, you almost ended up in Clarissa’s hands.”
Liberty looked up at him and said softly, “I’m fine now, so don’t worry. It’s all over. Clarissa is dead, and Mr. Dunn is too. My grandparents’ revenge has been fulfilled.”
That night, she had indeed come close to being taken by Clarissa. If Lilian hadn’t acted quickly, Liberty might have been pulled down to her death. Clarissa wouldn’t have let her go.
Lilian saved her life. Even Zachary hadn’t had time to react before Lilian pulled Liberty to safety.
Duncan held her tighter. “I couldn’t sleep or eat for days. I couldn’t stop worrying, so I had to come see you myself.”
Now that he was here, he didn’t feel like a burden anymore.
Liberty relaxed, leaning against him, and said gently, “I’m tougher than you think. I’ll be fine.”
“That’s a blessing,” Duncan replied, not liking her saying she had a hard life. He preferred to think of it as a blessing in disguise.
Liberty smiled. “Yes, yes, I’m blessed. When Sonny was kidnapped, I was stabbed, but I survived. That means I escaped death and will be lucky from now on. Don’t worry about me. Blessed people have good fortune, so I’m safe.”
She changed the subject to stop him from blaming himself. “How is everything at home?”
“Everything’s fine. We’re ready to get married. Once you and Serenity are back, I’ll propose and bring the bride price. Even though we’ll just get the marriage certificate first, we’ll still follow all the proper steps.”
The proposal would be a big, joyful event so that everyone in Wiltspoon would know that he and Liberty were about to start their lives together.
