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

"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

Mr. Mortimer thought he had reacted quickly enough, but he never expected Emma's husband to move so swiftly.The night passed without incident, but from then on, one issue after another began to emerge. Quality issues with products, tax evasion charges, and even violations of labor laws all came to light. Waves of officials descended on the company, leaving Mr. Mortimer and his management team scrambling to cope.When Mr. Mortimer was taken away for investigation, he called Bella in a frantic state. "Divorce Martin! Divorce him immediately!" If Bella had been reluctant and defiant the previous night, she was completely stunned by the events of that morning.After hanging up with her father, she turned to Martin and said, "Let's... let's get divorced." Martin took a deep breath and nodded quietly.He knew the Mortimers were finished.In less than a month, Bella's family’s company had vanished completely. The carefree life of the wealthy heiress was gone forever. Emma rema

“But isn’t he your husband now? You didn't lose out on anything!" Bella did not think she had done anything wrong."If you hadn't been flirting with Martin while having a boyfriend, would I have done that?" Bella became angrier as she spoke. "Because I did that, I made it possible for you to marry your husband."You should thank me for that!" Bella concluded.Exasperated by Bella's shamelessness, Emma laughed. "A bad deed is a bad deed no matter what. Just because it had no consequences doesn’t mean it wasn’t wrong!"But I do have to thank you. Your current predicament is my gift of gratitude!" Emma cursed with gritted teeth. "People like you deserve to have endless bad luck!"Bella stared at Emma, hurt. "Where’s your decency? And to think Martin liked you back then. He must’ve been blind."Emma was so infuriated by Bella’s shameless behavior that her chest hurt. With someone like Bella, she did not hold back. "He’s indeed blind to have married such bad luck like you! How is it g

Emma scooped a piece of meat from the pot with her spatula and held it up to Landon. "Try this."Landon had never eaten like that before, but he instinctively picked up the piece of meat with two fingers."Blow on it. It's hot," Emma warned, making Landon chuckle.How old was he not to know what came out of the pot was hot? Did she think he was as clueless as Asher?Nevertheless, he blew on the meat twice, cautiously took a bite, and popped the rest into his mouth once he confirmed it was not too hot. The rich juices from the meat exploded in his mouth, and he immediately understood what true happiness tasted like."Delicious," Landon affirmed it by giving a thumbs-up.Emma smiled, turned off the stove, and plated the dish. "All done."She quickly scrubbed the pot and started on the next dish. "Just one more. It'll be ready soon."The last dish was a quick salad, ensuring the previous dishes would stay warm enough and keep their flavor."Did you really take down Bella's family
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 123
Bella's misfortune made Emma extremely happy, and lately, she had been putting a lot of energy into her work. The sales office where she worked had flexible hours, so she could wait for clients to come in or go out to find them herself. However, in hopes of getting more clients, she had been going out a lot recently.The dark cloud that had hung over her heart for years was gone, and she felt like the whole world had brightened up. Life was truly getting better and better.Indeed, when faced with difficulties and challenges, if one bit down and persevered a little longer, there would come a day when they would see the light at the end of the tunnel.Emma was full of enthusiasm, but Landon, on the other hand, was in no mood at all. He stared silently at Leto in front of him."Landon," Leopold said, breaking the heavy atmosphere.Landon finally looked away from Leto and turned his gaze to his grandfather.His silence made Leopold a little awkward, and even a bit annoyed. "Your co
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 124
“Didn't I grieve when my son and daughter-in-law died? I'm old, and it's heart-wrenching to lose them. Doesn't that sadden me?" Leopold was so furious his breathing quickened."Since your parents passed away, I've protected you in every way. You said you wanted to take over the company, so I let you. You said you wanted to kick your uncle out of the company, so to help you move past that hurdle, I even suggested you get married."And what did you do?" Leopold felt his efforts were wasted on an ungrateful person. "You married a woman with a child just to spite me."But fine, I tolerated it. I understood you were grieving your parents and wanted to deal with your uncle, so I let you do it. You kicked him out, and did I say a word against it?" Leopold felt he had done everything he could.He lost his son, and at his age, recovering from the pain of losing a child was hard. Did Landon ever understand how difficult it was for him?Landon laughed at his grandfather who condemned him and

“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
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 493
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.
