Calvin could not contain his laughter. He knew Landon was not one to take things lying down."I don't know why they insist on provoking you," Calvin sighed, shaking his head. "I really admire their audacity."Landon's eyes narrowed. "Maybe it's because I've been too nice to them."Calvin fell silent for a moment before sighing softly. "They're just taking advantage of their relationship with you to be completely reckless."When dealing with outsiders, Landon was ruthless and unforgiving.However, with the Stirlings, he still showed some consideration for their kinship.This had given his grandfather the false impression that Landon did not really mind his parents' car accident.Leopold probably thought Landon had gotten over the trauma.Landon let out a light chuckle. "They'll realize how wrong they've been."Calvin quipped, "I'm looking forward to seeing this unfold. Honestly, some things have been long overdue for a clean up."Landon agreed with Calvin. "This time, I have t

As they entered the living room, Emma's uncle Bronson was sitting on the couch. His presence was never a good sign."Where's Dad?" Emma inquired.Her question seemed to open a floodgate of complaints from Barbara. "What could he possibly be doing? He doesn't do anything around the house. All he cares about is his tinkering. “He's off somewhere again, wasting his time all day long and not earning a penny, leaving me to do everything."Emma listened to her mother's tirade and asked, "Then why don't you stop cooking for him and doing his laundry?""Oh, you can't be so selfish," Barbara retorted without hesitation. "If I don't cook for him, he'll eat junk, get sick, and then it'll be my problem. And if I don't do his laundry, those clothes will just pile up."Emma glanced at Landon. See? This was her family's typical scene.Landon nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. Emma's mother was simply asking for trouble."You’re another one. At your age, you still don't know how

"I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you!" Barbara shouted at the top of her lungs."I didn’t get divorced because I didn’t want you to grow up in a single-parent household. Isn't it better to have a complete family?" Barbara demanded angrily."I've always said I don't mind!" Emma raised her voice, years of accumulated grievances spilling out of her. "No one wants this constant bickering! If that’s what it means to have a complete family then I don’t want it!"Emma did not want to live in such a stressful environment.Was she the one responsible for her mother's unhappiness?Why was she to blame?The pressure was like shackles, weighing her down until she could not breathe.She had lived that way all her life."I’m sure that even if I got a divorce, you’d still find something to complain about!" Barbara said."You're just impossible to please. All my efforts for you have been in vain."Emma's eyes reddened with anger at Barbara’s words. Why did her mother always make

"Your son still has a mortgage to pay off. He loves spending his money, and whenever he needs cash, he has always turned to you. Expenses for his child often fall on you as well," Landon stated slowly as he laid out the facts."If they both lost their jobs, could your pension support them?" Landon asked, his tone calm and steady. "Moreover, your son lacks any ambition or special skills; he is exceptionally lazy. Perhaps he would someday become motivated enough for you to rely on him. Though if that ever happened, you would not be subject to my threats."Landon’s words hit Bronson's weak spot, leaving him no room to retaliate."Who do you think you are? Do you think you can talk to us that way just because you have a bit of power?" Barbara could not stand seeing her brother being pushed around like that."Yes," Landon nodded slowly. "That is precisely so."He pulled Emma to her feet and said to Bronson, "From now on, if you bother Emma again, your son and daughter-in-law will los

"That way, they'll know not to bother you anymore." Landon put his phone away and turned to Emma with a smile."To solve problems, you have to strike at the root. If it hurts, they'll learn what they should and shouldn't do." Landon finished as he looked at Emma.He was curious about her reaction. He felt that she was usually too soft-hearted so she might find his methods harsh. They still had months of living together ahead of them, so he did not want to keep pretending with her. Emma sighed lightly. "I need to work hard, and I need to make sure Ash does too."Landon did not quite understand. "What do you mean?""If I work hard, I can solve all my problems and avoid doing things I don't want to do," Emma said with a bright smile."I know my mom cares more for herself and her brother, and I don't have the power to make my uncle's son lose his job just like that," Emma sighed."If I had that ability earlier, I would have been free long ago," she said regretfully as she shook h

She picked her phone up, glanced at the display strangely, and then turned to Landon. "It's my uncle calling.""Go ahead," Landon casually replied.Before he could offer any advice, Emma had already answered the call without hesitation.Landon raised an eyebrow slightly. Was she really that obedient?He smiled at the thought."What’s going on, Uncle?" Emma asked as she answered the phone.On the other end, Bronson quickly assured her, "Don't worry. I've talked to your mom. You are a married woman now so you are no longer her responsibility. From now on, she won't bother you anymore."Just focus on living your life. Your parents are fine, don't worry about them."If anything urgent comes up, I'll call you. Otherwise, you won’t hear much from me."Oh, and if you're too busy during Christmas, you don't have to come visit. After all, managing a household isn't easy."Emma was stunned at Bronson’s change in tone. Was the ‘Landon effect’ so quick and effective?She turned her shoc

Everyone looked over at the source of the commotion. The man who had just shouted looked embarrassed and smiled apologetically. Then, he looked around and lowered his voice to the woman with him. "Let's buy a bigger house so my parents can move in. Then, we can have dinner ready when we get off work. You won't have to do any housework, my parents will take care of everything." He sat down and continued in a hushed tone.The woman pursed her lips and remained silent.The man softened his tone at her reaction and whispered, "Don't be angry. I was just upset earlier.""If you don't want to marry me, then don't!" The woman glared fiercely at him as her eyes filled with tears. "It's not like I have no other options.""Okay, okay..." The man whispered apologetically. It seemed the woman was not unwilling to forgive him but she had been hurt by what he had said earlier.Liz Taylor who had been attending to the couple had already discreetly moved away to give them some space."Well

Emma knew that if she said yes, the commission would belong to her instead. She laughed. "Nah, it’s not my client. It wouldn’t be right for me to swoop in after all the hard work you’ve do—."Liz suddenly hugged her before she could finish her sentence, excitement evident in her voice. "You're amazing. And such a good friend!""Alright, calm down and go see your clients," Emma chuckled, giving Liz a gentle push.Liz bounced away energetically.Emma envied her youthful vigor. She had always been criticized by her mother for being dull and lifeless. She wished she could be as lively as Liz, but every time she tried, she was chastised for being frivolous. Over time, she became the person she was now.Fortunately, she had completely cut ties with that side of her family. She would never have to deal with emotional suppression and moral blackmail.Emma silently thanked Landon for what he had done. He was truly her savior.Liz spent half an hour communicating with her clients and ha

“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.
