My Mysterious Husband Chapter 112
Landon's fingers itched to pinch her adorable face, but he restrained himself and simply said, "I'll keep you steady."His words brought tears to Emma's eyes, startling Landon. "Did you twist your ankle?" he asked, worried that he might have been too late to catch her.He looked down at Emma's ankle but saw nothing unusual. Just as he was about to crouch for a closer look, Emma said with a slight sniffle, "My parents have never held me like this."Landon raised his head in surprise and looked at Emma.Emma sniffed again. "When I was a child, I envied other kids who walked along the edge of steps as their parents supported them as they wobbled and laughed happily. Then when they reached the end and their parents helped them jump down—it felt like such an achievement." She knew she was being sentimental, but she wanted to indulge herself, to express her long-held envy and desire. "I wanted to walk like that too."I wanted my parents to hold on to me as I played. But my father neve

Despite what had happened, Bella had not expected Martin to bring up the divorce when face to face with her father."Divorce? Fine, let's divorce. Do you think I need you?" Bella snapped. She was not a pushover. She had been pampered and spoiled by her parents all her life. She loved Martin deeply, but after he had hurt her repeatedly, she had had enough."Shut up!" said Mr. Mortimer. Bella was taken aback by his anger.“Why are you yelling at me?” Bella screamed, ignoring the food stains on her head and clothes as she stormed out. She was going home to her mother!Mr. Mortimer watched her go, knowing she was not in any real danger. He had more pressing matters to attend to. He called his wife to ask her to keep an eye on their daughter.After hanging up, Mr. Mortimer turned to Martin. "Dad, the situation is complicated. The only way to protect Isabelle is for me to divorce Bella."Mr. Mortimer was stunned. "What's going on? Tell me everything," he said urgently.Mar

To be honest, Landon was slightly overdressed for the barbecue stand, but he still looked handsome especially since he was buying her a treat.Emma suddenly understood why so many women around her used to love watching romantic dramas.The male leads could mesmerize anyone. Who would not be captivated by such a charming, rich guy who knows how to show his sensitive side?Being the female lead in such a scenario must be utterly blissful.Emma chuckled softly. She felt like she was getting an impressive deal.‘When the contract expires, these beautiful memories will still be worth cherishing,’ she thought to herself.As much as she enjoyed the experience, Emma knew her limits. She would not take it for granted.Her current situation was not something she thought she deserved in the first place, so she was careful not to push for more.Things were good, if she became greedy, she would ruin the experience.At that moment, happiness was like a delicious cake to her, she could enjoy

Before long, Landon returned with several bags in hand. He got into the car and handed everything over to Emma. Emma took a look and was completely bewildered. "These are all my favorite snacks…" She had explained to him at length, telling him about the things she did not like, and so Landon had not bought any of those. But still, he had bought everything she loved. Was his taste similar to hers?"That's quite a coincidence," Emma said happily."Not really," Landon said as he fastened his seatbelt. "I bought them based on what you like.""Huh?" Emma was dumbfounded. "But I didn't say what I like to eat."She could guarantee that while explaining the snacks at the stall, she was completely fair and impartial."You can tell whether someone likes something or not," Landon said, raising an eyebrow at Emma. "Don't underestimate my ability to read people."Emma's mouth opened in astonishment as she looked at him admiringly. "You're amazing."Landon was amused by her expressi
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 116
Landon sighed heavily inside. If he was being honest, he admired her quite a bit. He knew that he had not yet emerged from the shadows of his family matters. His parents' handling of his uncle's passing, and his grandfather's approach to life, had left him resentful and full of vengeance. He did not have Emma's positive outlook.Despite his dark thoughts, Landon was in an exceptionally good mood as he drove them home.They walked into the house together. "Ash, I’m back!" Emma called out. Asher was reading his book but immediately came out to greet Emma. His eyes lit up upon seeing her, and he cheerfully exclaimed, "Mommy!"Landon stepped forward, feeling slightly awkward beside Emma. He was too big for Ash not to notice him. Just then, Asher turned to Landon and shouted, "Dad!"Landon could not believe his ears.Emma glanced at Landon. He seemed to accept the role quite readily.Emma chuckled and shook her head. Landon had a penchant for role-playing. She could

Asher took a few bites and then stopped himself, saying, "Mommy, I'm full.""Mm-hmm," Emma hummed as she wiped Asher's mouth clean. Having not seen Emma much that day, he immediately nestled into her arms.Emma smiled and lifted him onto her lap."Mommy, what's this?" Asher pointed his chubby finger at something Emma had put in his bowl."Oh, that's pickled radish. It’s sweet and spicy," Emma patiently explained with a smile."Would you like to try one?" Emma asked. "Shall I rinse it for you?"Asher shook his head and rubbed his tummy, "I'm full. I'll eat more later.""Okay," Emma nodded and started her dinner.Watching them, Landon chuckled, "Asher has a lot of self-control. Many kids I've seen would keep eating until you tell them to stop."Emma laughed. "Because I never go back on my word," she said proudly."I promise Asher things, and I always follow through. If I can't, I never make the promise in the first place. I explain to Asher why I can't promise something," Emm

Landon nodded and then looked at Emma without saying a word. He was curious to see her reaction once she knew what he had done.Emma stared steadily at Landon, pursed her lips, and said firmly, "Well done! Thank you!"Landon secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "You're welcome."Emma was gentle by nature but she did not take everything lying down. Knowing when to be gentle and when to be tough—that was her strength.Emma smiled. She knew better than to take his sincerity at face value.Landon did not owe her anything. She would do what she could on her own, and when the time came for her to step up, she would perform well and not let him down."Let's eat quickly before it gets cold," Landon reminded her.Emma nodded.She felt a warmth inside her—Landon always remained so gentle with her. He knew how she felt about his help so he changed the subject.‘He's really a good person,’ she thought to herself.Emma had gotten it wrong. Landon had not had the time to cons
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 119
"How is that possible?" Bella found it hard to accept her father’s words. "Perhaps you are mistaken?"How could Emma have found such a husband? A man of means even beyond Bella’s own father! That was absolutely insane!Mr. Mortimer stared at his daughter. "Did you drug Emma back in university?" he suddenly asked.Bella was taken aback. "No, I did not! Please don't listen to such nonsense, Dad!"But Mr. Mortimer knew his daughter very well. No matter how much she denied it, he could tell from her eyes that she had indeed done such a thing.Mr. Mortimer raised his hand and slapped Bella's face."Dad?" Bella covered her face and stared hurtfully at her father. "You hit me! But…but you’ve never hit me before! Listen, Emma is nothing but trouble. It’s her fault that we’re in this situation!""Who told you to do that to her?" Mr. Mortimer asked fiercely.Bella was defiant. "Dad, isn't this what you've always taught me since I was young? If you want something, you have to strive

“Of course, marriage is about mutual benefit. You treat me well, and I treat you well in return. You help me shoulder life's pressures, and I offer you support. That’s what fosters a stable marriage,” Emma stated matter-of-factly.“It won’t work if one side keeps giving while the other takes without giving anything in return.“And sometimes, it may seem like one side isn’t contributing, but there are always invisible sacrifices being made.“Otherwise, how could any marriage last?” Landon wrapped his arms around Emma and sighed softly. “You know, what I love most about you is your clear understanding of things.“You give me a sense of security,” Landon said candidly. He knew Emma was not the type to overthink things as she was a very reasonable person.“You see, Asher has grown so optimistic and cheerful because of you. Being with you makes me feel incredibly at ease. That’s something money can’t buy.”Emma thought seriously for a moment. “If you need comfort, I feel like ther

Emma froze, her curiosity piqued. “What did you learn?”She was not surprised that Asher had absorbed her lessons as that was her goal in teaching him. But what had Landon learned? “I learned a lot,” Landon replied with a smile. “For example, your attention to detail and patience, your tolerance for others, and your ability to handle situations calmly—”Emma laughed, breaking his train of thought. “Stop, stop, stop! If you keep going, I might start believing I'm some kind of superhero! I’d be even better than you!” “Then I'd really be lacking in self-awareness if I think that,” Landon said as he wrapped his arms around her. “You genuinely possess many admirable qualities—exactly what I need.”“Alright, alright... what you need,” Emma replied casually.Landon gently tapped her shoulder. “Are you brushing me off?”Emma pouted. “You hit me…”Landon hurriedly rubbed her shoulder. “Did it hurt?”He had not even used enough force to swat a fly but hearing Emma say it made him do

People loved to take advantage of a good deal, and after consulting the owner, the manager anticipated such behavior from the customers when he proposed the solution. Besides, both the owner and the manager possessed a broader vision. They understood that they could not let a small financial loss tarnish their restaurant's reputation.The way they handled the incident turned into a great advertising opportunity. Those diners who experienced the situation firsthand became loyal customers. They now had a favorable impression of the restaurant and would be the first to recommend it for future gatherings or family outings. No amount of traditional advertising could rival the power of genuine recommendations from friends and family.Both the restaurant owner and manager knew how to effectively navigate a business crisis. What could have been a damaging situation had transformed into positive publicity due to their prompt action.“Let Daddy explain the specifics of the business
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 495
The restaurant manager politely apologized and thanked them before clearing all the food from the table. Emma smiled. "I really like this restaurant."Landon nodded, recognizing that this was a business that understood customer service. Just then, Emma spotted Asher’s confused expression. "Those dishes we had earlier might have been touched by that lady."If someone used a spoon that others had already used to scoop food for me, would you be pleased by that?" Asher shook his head vigorously. "Not at all!""Exactly! So, the food that might have come into contact with that lady's saliva was removed and destroyed by the restaurant staff," Emma continued. Asher looked concerned at Emma’s words. "That's such a waste!" "It is, but there's no other option," Emma sighed lightly. "If someone were to get sick from eating that food, it would be much worse. That was a terrible mistake that the lady made. "So the restaurant staff wants to make sure that the mistake was dealt with the
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 494
Asher nodded energetically. “Yes!”“Exactly! So, making mistakes isn’t scary, and not knowing things isn’t scary either. The key is to admit it boldly,” Emma explained.“When we make a mistake, we correct it. If we don’t know something, and it doesn’t affect others, we don’t have to learn it if we don’t want to.“But if it impacts others, we need to learn from it,” she continued.“Just like that lady earlier, she needed to learn not to use shared tongs to serve food. But for something like not wanting to do someone’s makeup, that’s okay, she doesn’t have to learn that.“Shared tongs are necessary for everyone, and they can’t be replaced. If you don’t want to do someone’s makeup, they can find someone else to help. That service can be substituted.”Asher listened intently and nodded his head. “I understand now, Mommy!”Landon watched the entire exchange and silently marveled at Emma’s approach. She had a knack for using examples from Asher’s own experiences to explain things, m

Asher beamed up at Emma, a sense of pride shining on his face.Emma finally gathered her emotions and turned to Asher. “Mommy makes mistakes too, Ash.”Asher’s smile faltered as confusion washed over him. “Huh?”Emma chuckled softly and ruffled his hair. “It’s not just Mommy who makes mistakes, Daddy does too.”“Really?” Asher exclaimed as he turned to look at Landon. His face was filled with disbelief.Landon smiled, though he was unsure where Emma was going with the conversation. Nevertheless, he cooperated without hesitation. “That’s right. Daddy makes mistakes too.”Asher’s mouth hung open in surprise, clearly shocked to learn that his impressive parents could also err.“Not just your parents,” Emma continued with a smile, “even people who are more capable than us make mistakes.”“Why?” Asher asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. “If everyone makes mistakes, then why do we even learn?”“Because we work hard to make fewer mistakes and try our best not to cause trouble

“What disruption? You’re just bullying your customers because your business is big!” The middle-aged woman exploded in anger. “Don’t think I’m easy to push around. I’m calling the police!”The restaurant manager nodded calmly. “Please do. Since your actions have caused damage to our establishment, we will also hold you accountable for those damages.”“Damages? What damages?” the woman shouted, stomping her feet in frustration.Unfazed, the manager responded evenly, “Because of your actions, we now need to remove and replace all the food at the serving stations. You’ll be responsible for covering those losses.“And if any customers request refunds because of this, we’ll refund them in full. If they ask for compensation, we’ll provide that too. All of these expenses will be your responsibility.”The woman nearly exploded at the manager’s words. “You’re deluded!“Come on, son, we’re leaving!” She yanked her son’s arm, pulling him toward the exit.But the restaurant staff was not ab

Since Asher had decided to eat one piece of cake himself, he chose fewer cakes, worried that he would not be able to finish them.‘Look at that! He’s already learning how to make his own choices,’ Emma thought proudly.Emma followed Asher’s lead, picking up the cakes he wanted. Just as they were about to leave, Asher suddenly grabbed her sleeve.Puzzled, Emma looked down and asked, “What is it, sweetie?”“They’re using tongs to feed each other,” Asher said, frowning in displeasure.Emma glanced over and saw a middle-aged woman holding a pair of tongs, about to feed a cake to her son. The boy, around eight or nine, reached out to take the cake with his hand, but the woman pulled the tongs back and scolded him, “Don’t use your hands! Just open your mouth.”Emma felt her face flush in disbelief. ‘What are they thinking?’ she protested quietly.The woman did not want her son to use his hands, claiming it was dirty, yet she was about to feed him with the tongs that everyone used to

Landon smiled. “I like eating too. Our whole family does. But what I enjoy most is eating with all of you.”Asher quickly agreed, “I’m always happy when I eat with Mommy and Daddy.”The family of three arrived at the buffet. Thankfully, Emma had already reserved a spot using her phone while they were still on the road.They headed straight to a small private room, ordered their food through the app, and waited for the server to bring it.“Mommy…” Asher called as he tugged at Emma’s shirt. “I want some cake.”Emma laughed and put on her sunglasses. “Let’s go get some cake.”Asher beamed with excitement. “Okay!” With one hand he held Emma’s hand tightly, while he swung the other one back and forth enthusiastically. He hurried along, and his wide, gleaming eyes searched eagerly for the cake display ahead.“Mommy, over there!” He spotted the table filled with cakes in an instant.Even though he was thrilled to see the cakes, Asher did not let go of Emma’s hand or rush ahead.
