Married At First Sight Chapter 3829 Chapter

3829

Mrs. Bucham wanted Julian and Kiera to get their marriage certificate and hold the wedding on the same day. However, the wedding date was set for early February, shortly after the New Year. This meant there would be over a month between getting the certificate and the wedding ceremony. Still, Mrs. Bucham found comfort knowing Kiera's commitment was secured once the certificate was issued.

Mrs. Bucham worried about Julian's health and feared that Kiera or the Caron family might reconsider. But when speaking to Kiera, she was warm and kind, showing a gentleness that even Kiera's own mother rarely displayed. Although Kiera's father knew Mrs. Bucham was a powerful figure, Kiera only saw a caring woman. Being the matriarch of the Bucham family and holding her husband's love for decades, Mrs. Bucham was undoubtedly skilled at navigating family dynamics, but she reserved her strength for protecting those close to her. Mrs. Bucham handed both Kiera and Julian red envelopes she had prepared in advance. "This is a red envelope from Mom. I wish you a long and happy life together," she said. Julian accepted his first, and Kiera followed, expressing her gratitude. Other family members also presented red envelopes to the couple, each filled with blessings for their future.

Julian's aunt gave Kiera a necklace she wore every day, a special gift symbolizing her new role as the eldest daughter-in-law. Although Kiera felt overwhelmed by the generosity, she graciously accepted it. She had not yet received the certificate or held the wedding, but the valuable gifts kept coming. From the moment she arrived in Wiltspoon and met Julian's family, she had been showered with thoughtful and expensive presents from the elders.

Back in her room, Kiera opened the ornate brocade boxes to find the gifts were indeed very valuable. Returning them would risk offending the family, so she accepted them all. Julian, noticing her unease, gently assured her, "No matter how expensive the gifts from my parents, uncles, and aunts are, you deserve them." His words lifted a weight off Kiera's shoulders, making her feel worthy of the family's generosity. As they sat in Julian's car, Kiera reflected on the experience. "No wonder so many people want to marry into a wealthy family," she sighed.

Julian responded thoughtfully, "You can only be happy if your in-laws genuinely like and accept you. Otherwise, marrying into a wealthy family could feel like being a servant-doing everything without getting respect. It helps if your husband supports you, but many men lose interest in their wives after marriage, which only worsens things."

Kiera stayed quiet for a moment before adding, "It's true. A woman's standing in her in-laws' home often depends on her husband's attitude. I've heard that in marriage, a woman must either be strong herself or come from a strong family to avoid being mistreated." As she spoke, she glanced at Julian, grateful for his support and commitment.
