My Mysterious Husband Chapter 188
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

Emma's heart sank as she hurried inside. Asher was still in there!When she stepped into the room, she saw that Asher was safely in Landon's arms.Then she noticed two unfamiliar adults and another child in the office.Emma had just reviewed the security footage and easily recognized the new child as Robin Carpenter.Robin cowered in Marissa Carpenter’s embrace, while another stranger, presumably Robin’s father, was apologizing profusely to Ursula. "Yes, yes... It’s all Robin’s fault. Please calm down, Mrs. Holt."Emma was taken aback. She stared at Ben Carpenter in disbelief. Robin’s injury seemed more severe compared to Dennis and Asher with cuts and scrapes on both his arms and legs. He had been taken to the infirmary for treatment, so Emma had not seen him earlier. The fact that the Carpenters did not protect their child but instead groveled at Ursula’s feet was shocking. It was a terrible injustice perpetrated against Robin who was made to apologize to his bully. Em

Ben turned to glance at Asher but ignored him.Marissa urged, “Robin, hurry up and apologize.”As soon as she said this, the glimmer of hope that had just appeared on little Robin’s face because of Asher’s words instantly faded. He looked so disheartened that it was painful to watch.Robin pursed his lips stubbornly, refusing to speak.Ben got anxious. “Apologize!”His voice was so loud that it startled not only Robin, but Asher, too. Luckily, Landon was holding him and quickly patted his back, soothing him, “Daddy's here. Don’t be scared.”Asher stretched out his chubby little arms, wrapped them around Landon’s neck, and leaned against him to feel safe.Robin still refused to speak, which made Ben feel very embarrassed. He could not help but walk over and kick Robin, cursing angrily, “Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me? Apologize!”Robin fell to the ground, but he did not dare cry. He was trembling all over, his eyes starting to lose focus.“Mr. Carpenter, you’re scaring your ch
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 192
At such a young age, how could a child like Robin react properly to such a series of events? After his father finished yelling, Robin was completely bewildered, not knowing what to do.“You're scaring your child!” Emma said with a frown. “Don’t you realize how much this hurts him inside?“To teach him to grovel for the sake of profit. Don't you think that's cruel?” Emma understood why Robin's father had made this choice.Ursula was clearly a wealthy and influential woman, and Ben likely knew what her husband did for a living, prompting his actions.Survival was essential, but was it worth sacrificing his child’s dignity for a lifetime?“What nonsense are you spouting?” Marissa retorted angrily. “Who's doing this for profit? Our child did something wrong. At such a young age, how can he hit another child?”Emma’s frown deepened, her heart aching. Did she not see the hurt in her own child's eyes when Marissa said those words?“Dennis mocked your son first. Don’t you care about
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 193
Ursula’s words drew everyone's attention to the office door, where a man in a sharp suit stood. His designer suit, glittering gold watch, and the large jade ring on his left hand screamed wealth.Daniel Holt surveyed the room with an air of arrogance, his gaze barely lingering on anyone. It was as if no one in the room was worthy of his attention.“Dad!” Dennis cried, rushing to his father. “They hit me; my arm hurts.”He showed his bruised arm to his father, complaining, “Both of them ganged up on me!”Daniel patted his son’s head lovingly, then demanded, “Who hit my son?”Ben, startled, quickly apologized, “Mr. Holt, I’m sorry. My son didn’t know any better.”Daniel looked down at Ben. “So, what are you going to do about it?”“Whatever you say, Daniel!” Ben’s attitude was incredibly humble, practically groveling.Marissa glared at her son. She did not say anything, but her eyes made it clear she blamed him. If Robin had not caused trouble, his father would not be humiliating

It turned out that many kids are emotionally abandoned by their parents from a young age.With the issue regarding Robin resolved, Daniel's attention shifted to Asher. There was another kid involved; it must be related."What's going on with that one?" Daniel asked, gesturing toward Asher with a jerk of his chin.Ursula, who had been waiting for her husband to bring this up, perked up immediately."The other parents don't think their kid did anything wrong," she said sarcastically. "They blame our son for everything."Daniel's face darkened. "Didn’t our son get hit by that kid? Hmph. If their parents won't admit fault, this won't end here. This isn't some minor kindergarten squabble. We should call the police."As soon as Daniel made the threat, he noticed the other kid's mom, Emma, smiling with clear mockery."Sure, I think that's a great idea. Let's call the police right now!" Emma agreed readily.Calling the police over such a small matter seemed excessive. However, since it

"Make me lose my job?" Emma sneered, staring unflinchingly at Daniel. "You've got quite a nerve!"Landon’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. He was glad that Emma was handling things well. Knowing his background, there was no reason to fear someone like Daniel. However, more than that, he was pleased to see that Emma was leveraging his influence. It meant she was warming up to him and letting down her guard.Daniel, on the other hand, was infuriated by Emma's attitude. With his status, he was used to everyone catering to him, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. He sneered and asked, "What? You think I can’t deal with you and your husband?""Don’t you know who I am?" Daniel boasted.There were not many people in this kindergarten he could not offend. He had noted everyone who was untouchable when his son started school, and clearly, these two were not on that list.Daniel’s arrogance was evident. The teachers and the principal in the office had a hard t

“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.
