Chapter 3860
Duncan glanced at Liberty and replied, “I think I can make it to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to handle the paperwork. Liberty hasn’t mentioned her availability, but I believe tomorrow should work.”
Mrs. Lewis responded, “Try to go tomorrow. The Bureau will close for the New Year, and we don’t want any delays. Once it’s done, I’ll have you review the betrothal gifts. If you’re satisfied, I’ll send them to Liberty’s family. I’ve also had someone pick out several auspicious wedding dates, but you’ll need to discuss them with Audrey and Serenity to choose a date that suits Liberty’s schedule and family needs.”
Mrs. Lewis understood how much Liberty was managing. As the eldest daughter and sister, Liberty had always carried a heavy load—first raising her younger sister and now taking on the responsibilities of the Farrell family. It pained Mrs. Lewis to see Liberty shoulder such stress. She wished Liberty could focus solely on her restaurant, but as the eldest sibling, Liberty’s sense of duty was undeniable.
Duncan nodded gently, “Mom, let’s go over all this when we get back. I know time’s tight, but I want the wedding with Liberty to be as grand as Zachary and Serenity’s was.”
“Absolutely,” Mrs. Lewis assured him. “Liberty will have everything Serenity did. She’ll be treated with love and respect, and we’ll make sure she doesn’t face any hardships with us.”
She was genuinely overjoyed that her youngest son, about to turn 37, had finally found love. She’d once hesitated, believing in traditional “well-matched” marriages, but after everything her family had been through, she now understood that happiness mattered most.
