Once the contract was settled, Emma immediately set about getting the business license, buying equipment, hiring staff, and decorating the shop. The whirlwind of activity left her utterly exhausted.“You’ve lost weight recently, haven’t you?” Landon asked with a frown as they were having dinner.“Have I?” Emma touched her face, not really noticing any change.Asher peered at Emma and nodded vigorously. “Yeah, you’ve lost weight!”“Oh? Really?” Emma smiled happily. “Well, that’s good. I don’t need to diet anymore then.”Asher tilted his head, looking puzzled. “What’s dieting, Mommy?”Emma smiled. “Dieting means Mommy wants to fit into smaller clothes, so she eats less and exercises more to make her body smaller.”As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to illustrate what she meant.Asher was still confused. “Why does Mommy want to wear smaller clothes?”“Because a larger curve is better,” Emma said as she stood up to demonstrate what she meant by curves.“See, this is the wa

Slightly bemused, Emma lowered her head to her food. She had no idea what Landon might have been feeling.The next day, at Stirling Group, Calvin called his assistant over and asked, "Did you deliver the documents to Mr. Stirling?"The assistant promptly replied, "Right when he arrived this morning."Calvin frowned. It was almost noon, and there was still no response from Landon. What was going on?"Alright, I understand," Calvin said, then immediately went to find Landon. He needed the documents by tomorrow. Was Landon having issues?Calvin went straight to Landon’s office. He pushed the door open without knocking and asked, "Hey Landon, what’s going on with the documents?"He was caught off guard by what he saw. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he might have been seeing things.Landon was daydreaming."Something wrong?" Landon said slowly as he came back to his senses."What are you so absorbed in?" Calvin asked, puzzled.The company had been running smoothly ever since Land

Landon chuckled softly. Emma shot him a glance and quickly caught on, “You’re teasing me.”“You’re usually high-and-mighty as a boss. Are you just pretending to be humble and poking fun at me?” Emma huffed, clearly annoyed.Landon laughed. “I’m just giving you a heads-up. Being polite is fine, but you still need to have some authority as a boss.“Most people have good intentions but there are those who will take advantage of excessive politeness. If you’re too accommodating to those types, they might end up bullying you,” Landon advised.He knew that Emma would be a very gentle boss, but whether she could manage her employees effectively remained a question. Not everyone was as conscientious as her.Emma nodded. “If they don’t work properly, I’ll handle it.”Landon raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Can you even be strict?”Emma sighed with a touch of sadness. “Mainly, I can’t bear to lose money. If they don’t work well, it’s my money that I lose.” Emma laughed, “It’s one thi

“Let’s go then,” Landon said with a smile.Emma chuckled, “Let’s go.”She found Landon to be an interesting man. Though he had seemed cold and distant when they first met, his politeness was paired with a high level of caution. Over time, she realized he also had a good sense of humor.However, two traits remained consistent—his attentiveness and his thoughtfulness. He was a good man. Emma hoped he would find his true love someday.As she thought about that, she could not help but laugh out loud, prompting Landon to glance over with curiosity. “What’s so funny?” he asked.They had just arrived at the parking lot and nothing particularly amusing had happened there.“I was thinking about the future,” Emma said, clasping her hands behind her back and skipping forward a few steps.She could not reveal that she was laughing at her thoughts. A man like Landon, wealthy, handsome, and gentlemanly, was bound to meet a wonderful woman and enjoy a loving, lifelong relationship.Emma found

Emma was startled. She stopped and turned. She noticed a missing tile on the ground. If she had stepped on it, she could have easily hurt herself.As she stared at the small pit in the ground, her body went rigid, and her mother's harsh words echoed loudly in her mind. "Why are you walking backward? You should watch where you’re going! What kind of girl does that? What a mess!”"Why are you crying? Serves you right!""Look, when I go out to shop, I want to be happy, not have you adding to my trouble! Got it? Smile!"Even though it had been a long time since she’d heard those harsh words, they haunted her so often that it sometimes left her breathless.“Emma?” said a worried voice as a hand reached out to grasp her shoulders, “What’s wrong, Emma?”The gentle, concerned tone pulled Emma back from the suffocating memories. As the twilight glow surrounded them, Emma saw the worried face of the person who had come to her aid. “…Landon?”“I’m here. What happened?” Landon asked in
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 187
“It’s nothing,” Emma said, rubbing her eyes and feeling utterly embarrassed. “I just think... you’re too kind.”Landon was not the type to dwell on the past.Her past wounds had not completely healed yet. The pain had faded yet the scars remained.Landon encouraged her gently with his actions, showing her that it was okay and that she could be herself.Landon was at a loss for words. Was he being complimented? Yet why did it feel like he had fallen short of something?‘Oh well, I should probably take it slow,’ Landon thought to himself.Emma was intelligent. As long as he demonstrated his feelings through his actions, she would understand.Landon drove Emma to pick up Asher from school. Midway through the drive, Emma received a call. After listening for a moment, she said, “Okay, we’re on our way, we’ll be there soon.”When she hung up, Landon asked, “What’s wrong?”“Ash got into a fight with another kid at school,” Emma said, frowning in confusion. “He doesn’t usually get i

Emma noticed the bruises on Dennis’s arm and said, “Mrs. Holt, I’ve just arrived and don’t know what happened yet. Let me get the details first.”“What details do you need? Your son hit Dennis, simple as that! So what are you going to do about it?” Ursula’s anger was palpable as she pointed a finger at Emma. “This matter is far from over!”Ursula’s aggression made Emma’s blood rise. “Look, Mrs. Holt, even the police need to understand the situation before making a decision. You don’t get to dictate what happens.”“How dare you? Are you saying that what your son did to Dennis is justified? With a mother like you, It’s no wonder Asher acted out. What kind of child did you raise?” Ursula sneered at Emma, her tone dripping with sarcasm.“I demand proper compensation or my husband and I won’t let it go!” Ursula threatened as she turned to the teachers and the principal in the office.Emma ignored her and turned to Asher, nestled in her arms. “Asher, tell Mommy, why did you get into a
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 189
Emma’s action shocked the teachers and the principal in the office. However, it was very satisfying to witness. After all, Ursula had been loud and arrogant with them throughout the meeting. Their families may not have been as well-off as Ursula’s but that did not mean they should be treated like children or worse, like dirt beneath her sole.Moreover, the issue was caused by Dennis being rude and aggressive. What right did she have to scold them?“How dare you?” Ursula screamed in disbelief. Then she lunged at Emma.“No, no, Mrs. Holt! Please stop fighting!” “Don’t escalate this!” The teachers in the office had rushed over to restrain Ursula to prevent her from attacking Emma. Another teacher gently tugged at Emma’s arm. “Please, don’t engage with her.”After a few moments of struggle, Ursula seemed to catch on. “You’re being biased!”The principal looked gravely at Ursula. “We are not favoring any side, Mrs. Holt. As long as everyone remains calm and talks things thr

“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.
