My Mysterious Husband Chapter 223
"Oh, that," Emma could not help but smile. "It's nothing serious."She then remembered that the mall was part of the Stirling Group and figured Landon must have asked the staff to keep an eye on things for her. Emma felt incredibly touched but did not want to bother him too much."It was just some random person," she said dismissively. "You get all kinds; it's not a big deal."Emma's nonchalant attitude made Landon's heart ache. He said softly, "Next time something like that happens, you call me. I'll take care of it."Emma was stunned, staring at Landon. From his serious expression, she could tell he genuinely wanted to help her with her problems. This shook her deeply.She was at a loss for how to respond. After all, she had always handled issues on her own. As a child, when faced with problems, her first instinct was to turn to her parents. Her dad never got involved, and her mom... always found a way to blame her. In their eyes, every problem was her fault.Over time, E

After her agreement with Landon had expired, Emma hoped that life for her and her son would improve. She could choose a better school for her child and give him more opportunities, ensuring a brighter future. Dreaming about a happy future made Emma feel light and joyful. She was genuinely excited. With a new direction in life, Emma fell asleep soon after, a gentle smile on her lips, even in slumber.The next day, after handling everything at the bakery, Emma got herself ready. Although Landon had said there was no need to dress up, she still wanted to make a good impression when meeting his family. She opted for a neat and clean look rather than heavy makeup.Emma rode her bike to the restaurant, arriving quickly. Following the directions of the security guard, she parked in the designated spot. As she stood outside the private dining room, she took a deep breath before knocking lightly and entering.Upon entering, Emma's heart sank. The woman inside was the same one who h

Landon let out a cold laugh, casting a frosty glance at the woman. "Aunt Mary, I call you 'aunt' out of respect for my mother," he said. "But that doesn't give you the right to act arrogant." His words were a direct slap to the woman's pride.The man sitting beside her, Connor Norman, finally spoke up, his expression dark and displeased. "Landon, what happened to you? You used to be such a respectful young man," he said, frowning at Landon.Mary, seething, continued, "What else could it be? It's all because of that woman he married!" She shot Emma a venomous look. "A divorced woman with a child—what good can come from that?""Shut up!" Landon slammed his hand on the table and stood up, glaring coldly at the woman. Mary’s bravado faltered, and she shrank back in fear. However, Landon did not care what she thought; he was furious. "Insulting my wife is the same as insulting me!"With that, he grabbed Emma's hand, pulling her to her feet, and they stormed out of the room toget
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 226
Mary felt increasingly upset as she spoke, thinking about how Landon was treating them all because of a divorced woman."Let's see how things go," Connor said. "Calling Landon now won't do any good. His mind is all wrapped up in that Emma." Mary sighed heavily, reluctantly nodding in agreement.As they schemed, Emma, the target of their plotting, sat across from Landon, worriedly watching him. Landon handed the menu to the server, and after they left the private room, turned to Emma. "What's wrong?" he asked.Emma frowned, concerned. "Those people are your relatives. Was it okay to speak to them like that?"Landon chuckled. "Sometimes, it's better not to keep in touch with certain relatives.”.Emma's eyes widened before she nodded in understanding. Not all family members are supportive; some only want to take advantage or prioritize their own interests."They were trying to use you to get at me. Today, you helped me a lot," Landon said with a smile. "This gave me the perfect

During their meal, Emma and Landon had a great time.Landon chuckled as he watched Emma, who was rubbing her full stomach with a contented sigh. “Stuffed, are you?”“Yeah,” Emma grimaced slightly, looking at Landon. “I’m full of meat. It’s just so heavy.”Her pitiful expression made Landon burst into laughter. “How are you so cute?”Emma pouted at Landon. “I told you I didn’t want that last bit, but you insisted on making me eat it.”“It was just a tiny piece.” Landon explained, “I didn’t want it to go to waste. And if we boxed it up, we’d be wasting a container.”Even the most eco-friendly takeout boxes were still waste. He would rather not use one if he had a choice.Landon was still amused by her. “Oh, you...”“Wait here,” he said, standing up and heading out.Emma remained in her seat, gently rubbing her stomach. She poked at it and felt how tight it was—so full. Maybe a walk around the store in the afternoon would help. It was hard to feel this uncomfortable.The midda

“Really?” Landon asked, unsure.“Really!” Emma looked up and gave Landon a reproachful glance. Why did he have to keep asking? Was she supposed to admit that she was flustered by how handsome he was? It was too embarrassing!Emma wished she could just disappear into the floor. Of course, at that moment, Landon continued to watch her intently. Even though Emma had her head down, she could still feel his gaze, and it only made her face feel even warmer.Quickly, Emma grabbed the digestive tonic from Landon’s hand, using the act of drinking it to avoid the awkwardness. As she sipped the tonic and then some water, thankfully, the heat in her face began to subside.Seeing that Emma’s face was no longer so red, Landon finally relaxed. Then he paused. Had Emma given him a sharp look just now? This discovery made him quite pleased. He knew Emma’s personality well, and if she was giving him that look, it meant she was getting more comfortable around him. That was a good sign.
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 229
Landon could not help but laugh at Emma's reaction. His heart was warm and content. It felt so good to be cared for. He had a wife who would be angry with him, stand up for him, or scold him.“So, if they try to block your way on your way home, just go ahead and give them a piece of your mind,” Landon said with a smile. “Don’t worry, I will!” Emma’s face was serious and clearly upset.“How are you still smiling?” Emma looked at Landon, unsure of what to say. She said with concern, “Don’t force yourself to smile if you’re not happy.”She understood how Landon felt. It was supposed to be the people closest to him who cared the most, but sometimes they ended up hurting him the most. The worst hurt always came from those closest. Such wounds were the deepest.“I don’t feel anything anymore,” Landon said with a soft laugh. Emma defending him like that was just too cute. Her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel... It was so tempting to pinch.Landon's fingers twitched at
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 230
Is this what it felt like to have a secret crush?Emma could not help but smile inwardly. It was truly wonderful. However, she was not a teenager anymore. She knew that just because she liked someone did not mean she had to have them. Landon was such a great person. He deserved a partner who was a perfect match for him in every way, even if that someone was not her.All she wished for was his happiness. Love, after all, wanted the other person to be happy.With that good feeling in her heart, Emma worked with a smile on her face all afternoon. However, as soon as she finished her shift and handed over the store to the manager, her demeanor changed instantly.Landon had warned her that his aunt and uncle might confront her, so she was fully prepared. As always, Landon’s warnings were spot-on.While Emma was pushing her scooter out of the mall’s underground parking garage and reached the sidewalk, she immediately spotted the two people she dreaded.“Emma, we need to talk to y

“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.
