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

"That’s…nice. Do I seem that old?" Emma asked with a half smile.Liz hugged Emma's arm and cooed, "Oh, I meant your words are so wise, just like my grandpa's.""Still feels weird to hear," Emma said weakly."Okay, okay, let me treat you to dinner then. That should make it less weird," Liz insisted as she gently shook Emma’s arm.“You don't have to," Emma said."Aw, come on! You won't even have dinner with me?" Liz pouted, pretending to be upset. "My grandpa is really, really amazing. I think you're like him because you're amazing too."Emma could not help but laugh at her childish antics. "Why would I be mad?""Then will you have dinner with me?" Liz persisted, still pouting.Despite being about the same age as Emma, Liz exuded a youthful charm that made such gestures appear so natural on her. It was also rather adorable.Emma chuckled. "I can’t tonight though because I’ve already made plans with my husband to take our son out after work.""Oh... so you have a handsome date t

Landon chuckled and touched his face. "You’ve only just noticed?" he asked as he winked at Emma.Landon had always been self-assured about his appearance. Even back in school when no one knew who he was, he had received quite a few love letters.Emma giggled at his confidence. "You're handsome, very handsome indeed. But the way you got out of the car just now... it was like a scene from a movie."Landon laughed. "Well, thank you. But you should get in the car or we'll be late picking up Asher.""Oh!" Emma snapped out of her reverie at the mention of their son. She quickly got into the car. "Let's go get Asher."Amused, Landon closed her door and got back into the driver's seat. He fastened his seatbelt and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Asher.Asher was hungry for hot pot.Landon was quick to take up the suggestion.Emma handed the menu to Landon and boldly declared, "Order whatever you like, my treat tonight."Taking the menu, Landon chuckled. "Then I won't hold back."
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 149
Emma, Landon, and Asher were happily enjoying their hotpot. Meanwhile, Liz sat in her car, listening to her mother, Meg Taylor. "When you get home, make sure to spend some time with your grandpa."He dotes on you, so make him happy," Meg emphasized."What's going on with Grandpa?" Liz asked curiously."It's all about the company," Meg sighed helplessly."Huh?" Liz was puzzled. "Isn't the company doing well?""Well? Your grandpa has taken over from Leto," Meg said irritably. Before becoming a full-time housewife, Meg had also worked at the company and knew its situation well."What?" Liz was shocked. "Grandpa is running the company? But hasn’t Landon Stirling been in charge all this time?""Your grandpa refused to let go of Leto, which angered Landon, so he simply walked away," Meg said grimly.Liz gasped, "So, what about the company?""Your grandpa is running it now.”"No wonder Grandpa was upset," Liz said.What happened to Leto?Liz knew the Stirlings well. Grandpa an

"It’s not even a question of favoritism anymore. There really shouldn't be a need to choose.“With Landon, those shareholders can smoothly receive dividends every year. On the other hand, choose Leto... don't even talk about dividends, the company could be driven to bankruptcy.""I just found out that Landon got married recently," said Kane."What? Landon got married?" exclaimed Cyril and Meg in unison.Liz just blinked in surprise.So the car she saw parked outside her workplace had not been her imagination.Landon had picked up Emma."Yes, I heard he married a woman with a child," Kane said coldly. "So he could legally take over the company."Cyril and Meg exchanged shocked glances."Who told you this, Dad?" asked Cyril.Kane snorted, "Who else? Leto of course."A look of disdain came over Kane’s features at the mention of the name. "Grandpa, is Leopold planning to use this banquet to target Landon?" Liz asked."Of course. It’s the perfect opportunity, isn't it?" Kane snorted

Landon laughed after hearing that. "You? Assertive? Fine, be as assertive as you can. Don't worry. Whatever the consequences, I'll handle them."Emma pressed her lips together and agreed, "Alright!"Seeing her determination, Landon secretly laughed to himself. She may have agreed so readily, but she surely could not do it. With her personality, how assertive could she be? He just could not imagine."Does Asher need to go?" Emma asked.She did not want Asher to be exposed to such an unfriendly setting at such a young age, especially with people around Landon who were always scheming. Targeting a child like Asher would be easy for them.Landon shook his head. "No, he doesn't.""Asher will stay home. I'll have the babysitter from the last time watch over him." Landon had made the necessary arrangements and would not leave Asher alone at home.With Asher taken care of, Emma felt at ease. Now that the decision to attend the event with Landon was settled, Emma continued her routine at

"Fried chicken and milkshake?" Liz was astonished. "Emma, I'm inviting you to a grand feast, the kind that costs thousands!"Emma looked at Liz like she was crazy. "What are you planning to eat? Caviar?""It can't be just fried chicken and milkshake. That's just too insincere, isn’t it?" Liz disagreed vehemently.It was because of Emma's advice that she managed to sell two houses. How could she treat Emma to that with the commission she earned?"How is that insincere?" Emma disagreed with Liz. "I checked. It costs 70 or 80 dollars."Besides, you worked hard for that money. Save it and buy something you like. Having some money on hand gives you peace of mind." Emma spoke earnestly.Liz laughed and nodded. "Alright, then. Let's have fried chicken and milkshake for lunch!""Sounds great!" Emma nodded happily.As Liz watched Emma's eyes sparkle with joy, she could not help but worry what if the Stirlings’ elders bullied Emma at the banquet. At that thought, Liz made a decision that

“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

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.
