"Why do you think that?" Leto snapped at Emma, accusing her. "There's no way my grandfather wants Landon back at the company!"After all, if Landon returned, what was left for him? Leto could not allow that to happen, not under any circumstances."Is that so?" Emma asked Leto, "Are you sure about that?""Absolutely!" Leto declared firmly before adding, "My grandfather is running the company just fine, and he's taught me a lot. I've learned everything I need to know."With the two of us managing the company, there's no need to bother Landon," Leto continued, his eyes darting nervously toward Landon, avoiding his grandfather's gaze.He was terrified that Landon might suddenly interject, prompting his grandfather to relent and bring Landon back into the company.What would happen to him then? He had just started taking over some aspects of the company and was not about to give that up."And what about your grandfather's wishes?" Emma pressed, turning her attention to Leopold and fo
My Mysterious Husband   Chapter 158
Needless to say, Leopold's expression had turned notably sour.Leto chuckled and said, "Grandpa, don't be upset. Landon has left, but I'm here with you."He wanted to show he was a befitting grandson, but Leopold needed more than just Letoâs company. The company's affairs were too complex for Leto to handle. He was utterly useless in that regard.Leopold felt increasingly frustrated. Could Landon not see his predicament? Surely Landon understood but refused to help. It was intentional and meant to embarrass him.Leopold gritted his teeth and coldly remarked, "I'm tired. All of you can do as you please."With that, he turned and walked away.Leto rushed to follow, but Ruth held him back. "Stay here and greet the guests. Your father and I will go to your grandfather."It was a prime opportunity for her son to network with those shareholders and executives.Anthony nodded in agreement with his wife. "Exactly. You stay. Your grandfather has us."After they left to catch up to Leop

Landon's gaze made Emma feel a little uneasy. She reached up to touch her face and then raised her hand to find a mirror. "Is there something on my face?""Nope." Landon chuckled. "It just feels weird.""Weird? What's weird?" Emma nervously touched her face. "I don't usually wear makeup. Is it too strange?""Yeah." Landon nodded. "Strangely good."Emma froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Thatâs so corny!"Landon laughed too, not at all embarrassed by her teasing. Instead, he asked, "I think it's okay. Donât you think so too?""Ugh, I can't handle it." Emma shivered. "It's giving me goosebumps."Then, she said, "Let's go home.â Since there was nothing else for them to do there, they could leave.However, Landon suggested, "Let's grab a bite. Ash must have eaten by now.""Oh, sure." Emma nodded, not objecting.They would have to make dinner by the time they got home, and the commotion would disturb Asher too. With that, Landon drove directly to the restaurant.Afte

During dinner, Emma focused intently on her meal. Honestly, she had never eaten lobster or snow crab before, but now she understood why they were considered expensive. They were delicious, and she must bring Asher here sometime!While Emma and Landon enjoyed their meal cheerfully, Leopold was seething with anger. Did Landon really think he could not manage a company? Back in the day, he was the one who ran it, long before Landon was even born! Landon had seriously miscalculated, thinking he could use that against him.With Leopold's determination ignited, he planned to make a big comeback and make Landon regret challenging him. Unfortunately, Leopold had been out of the business circle for too long. Over the years, Landon had been running the company, expanding it rapidly. Hence, there were many aspects of the business that Leopold could not even begin to comprehend, let alone manage.Leopold's meddling only caused chaos in the parts of the business that were still barely hold

Emma rushed to place the water glass on a nearby table. Her voice was laced with concerned as she said, "Ms. Lynch, please try to recall where you might have placed it.""It was right here," Ms. Lynch huffed, her frustration evident. She pressed a button on the intercom and spoke, "Someone come in here. I've lost my necklace!"The salon manager entered the room with quick footsteps, accompanied by the staff member who had earlier attended to Ms. Lynch."Ms. Lynch, what valuable item seems to be missing?" the manager inquired anxiously."My necklace is gone!" Ms. Lynch gritted her teeth, her face etched with displeasure. "The one I had on when I arrived."The manager immediately attempted to soothe Ms. Lynch's ruffled feathers. "Ms. Lynch, please don't fret. Nothing ever goes missing at our establishment. It's likely it just slipped out of sight somewhere. I'll have someone look for it right away."Turning to the staff member who had assisted Ms. Lynch, the manager questioned, "Di

"Very well," Emma replied in a calm, firm voice. "But let me be clear, this matter is far from over for me.âI wonât let anyone accuse me of something I didnât do.â She refused to be intimidated.After making her statement, Emma remained silent, waiting for the police to arrive and investigate the matter thoroughly.The manager looked at Ms. Lynch and could only try to calm her down in a low and soothing voice.Ms. Lynch sneered. "What am I supposed to be angry about?"My necklace is worth millions," she continued, her voice heavy with accusation, staring at Emma. "If it's proven that you stole it, you'll be spending years behind bars. But if you return it now, admit your guilt, and apologize, I might just consider forgiving you. I might even refrain from pressing charges."Otherwise⊠You can expect to rot in jail."The manager, alarmed by Ms. Lynch's threat, quickly tried to reason with Emma. "Miss, Ms. Lynch has been so generous. Please just admit your mistake and spare yourse
My Mysterious Husband   Chapter 163
Ms. Lynch was taken aback by Emma's accusation.As Emma stared at Ms. Lynch, she had a feeling that Ms. Lynch was behind this setup.While she could not pinpoint the exact motive, the entire situation struck her as highly suspicious.It was impossible not to harbor doubts."What if you were wearing gloves while stealing it?" Ms. Lynch quickly retorted."Then let the police search the room for any gloves I might have worn!" Emma stood her ground."Fine, let them investigate thoroughly!" Ms. Lynch scoffed.Emma's eyes narrowed. Her voice was laced with sarcasm as she said, "So, you think even if the investigation proves I'm innocent, the worst that will happen to you for framing me is that you made a mistake and thatâll be it, right?"Ms. Lynch's silence and dismissive eye roll spoke volumes, confirming Emma's suspicions.Emma nodded, her determination unwavering. She pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and held it up for everyone to see."What if I have video footage to

"It's not about Ash," Emma explained. "Iâve just run into a slight problem on my end."Landon felt a twinge of unease mixed with a surge of protectiveness. "What's wrong?"It had to be serious for Emma to call him for help. He knew how much she hated to burden him."Today, I..." Emma recounted the entire incident, including her suspicions. "I have no grudge against her. So I'm wondering if it's because of you."If they prove I'm a thief, will it affect your reputation?" Emma could only think of this much, nothing deeper.Landon's voice was firm as he replied, "I understand. Stay there and I'll handle this.""Okay." Emma trusted Landon implicitly. She hung up the phone and told the police officer, "My husband will be here soon with someone to take care of this."The officer nodded in understanding.It was normal for a woman like Emma to feel lost and helpless in such a situation.Of course, none of them mentioned this to Ms. Lynch. They simply waited.Less than half an hour la

âOf 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. Thatâs what fosters a stable marriage,â Emma stated matter-of-factly.âIt wonât work if one side keeps giving while the other takes without giving anything in return.âAnd sometimes, it may seem like one side isnât contributing, but there are always invisible sacrifices being made.âOtherwise, how could any marriage last?â Landon wrapped his arms around Emma and sighed softly. âYou know, what I love most about you is your clear understanding of things.âYou give me a sense of security,â Landon said candidly. He knew Emma was not the type to overthink things as she was a very reasonable person.âYou see, Asher has grown so optimistic and cheerful because of you. Being with you makes me feel incredibly at ease. Thatâs something money canât buy.âEmma thought seriously for a moment. âIf you need comfort, I feel like ther

Emma froze, her curiosity piqued. âWhat did you learn?âShe was not surprised that Asher had absorbed her lessons as that was her goal in teaching him. But what had Landon learned? âI learned a lot,â Landon replied with a smile. âFor example, your attention to detail and patience, your tolerance for others, and your ability to handle situations calmlyââEmma laughed, breaking his train of thought. âStop, stop, stop! If you keep going, I might start believing I'm some kind of superhero! Iâd be even better than you!â âThen I'd really be lacking in self-awareness if I think that,â Landon said as he wrapped his arms around her. âYou genuinely possess many admirable qualitiesâexactly what I need.ââAlright, alright... what you need,â Emma replied casually.Landon gently tapped her shoulder. âAre you brushing me off?âEmma pouted. âYou hit meâŠâLandon hurriedly rubbed her shoulder. âDid it hurt?âHe 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.âLet 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 Asherâs 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 Emmaâs 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

Asher nodded energetically. âYes!ââExactly! So, making mistakes isnât scary, and not knowing things isnât scary either. The key is to admit it boldly,â Emma explained.âWhen we make a mistake, we correct it. If we donât know something, and it doesnât affect others, we donât have to learn it if we donât want to.âBut if it impacts others, we need to learn from it,â she continued.âJust like that lady earlier, she needed to learn not to use shared tongs to serve food. But for something like not wanting to do someoneâs makeup, thatâs okay, she doesnât have to learn that.âShared tongs are necessary for everyone, and they canât be replaced. If you donât want to do someoneâs makeup, they can find someone else to help. That service can be substituted.âAsher listened intently and nodded his head. âI understand now, Mommy!âLandon watched the entire exchange and silently marveled at Emmaâs approach. She had a knack for using examples from Asherâs 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. âMommy makes mistakes too, Ash.âAsherâs smile faltered as confusion washed over him. âHuh?âEmma chuckled softly and ruffled his hair. âItâs not just Mommy who makes mistakes, Daddy does too.ââReally?â 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. âThatâs right. Daddy makes mistakes too.âAsherâs mouth hung open in surprise, clearly shocked to learn that his impressive parents could also err.âNot just your parents,â Emma continued with a smile, âeven people who are more capable than us make mistakes.ââWhy?â Asher asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. âIf everyone makes mistakes, then why do we even learn?ââBecause we work hard to make fewer mistakes and try our best not to cause trouble

âWhat disruption? Youâre just bullying your customers because your business is big!â The middle-aged woman exploded in anger. âDonât think Iâm easy to push around. Iâm calling the police!âThe restaurant manager nodded calmly. âPlease do. Since your actions have caused damage to our establishment, we will also hold you accountable for those damages.ââDamages? What damages?â the woman shouted, stomping her feet in frustration.Unfazed, the manager responded evenly, âBecause of your actions, we now need to remove and replace all the food at the serving stations. Youâll be responsible for covering those losses.âAnd if any customers request refunds because of this, weâll refund them in full. If they ask for compensation, weâll provide that too. All of these expenses will be your responsibility.âThe woman nearly exploded at the managerâs words. âYouâre deluded!âCome on, son, weâre leaving!â She yanked her sonâs 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.âLook at that! Heâs already learning how to make his own choices,â Emma thought proudly.Emma followed Asherâs 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, âWhat is it, sweetie?ââTheyâre using tongs to feed each other,â 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, âDonât use your hands! Just open your mouth.âEmma felt her face flush in disbelief. âWhat are they thinking?â 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. âI like eating too. Our whole family does. But what I enjoy most is eating with all of you.âAsher quickly agreed, âIâm always happy when I eat with Mommy and Daddy.âThe 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.âMommyâŠâ Asher called as he tugged at Emmaâs shirt. âI want some cake.âEmma laughed and put on her sunglasses. âLetâs go get some cake.âAsher beamed with excitement. âOkay!â With one hand he held Emmaâs 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.âMommy, over there!â 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 Emmaâs hand or rush ahead.
