Did they want to trick her into a quiet place and spew their nonsense? Well, she had no interest in that! Emma stared coldly into Connor's eyes and spoke, "When you saw Landon fall from grace, you quickly severed ties with him. Now that he has taken over the company, you want to exploit your connection to him for your benefit."How on Earth do you think you have a right to that?" Emma sneered. "You want rewards without effort? Dream on!"Connor's face instantly darkened, while Mary pointed at Emma and yelled, "You're just a worthless woman with a bastard child, clinging to my nephew for money, aren't you?” Mary’s shouting drew the attention of nearby passersby, who turned their heads out of curiosity. She looked at Emma with smug satisfaction when she noticed the crowd’s reaction.‘Go on, Emma! Keep cursing at us! You’re the one who’ll be humiliated!’ Mary thought to herself.Mary felt that having a bastard child was Emma's biggest weakness!To Mary's surprise, Emma suddenly b

"What are you grinning about?" Landon asked curiously as he watched Emma. She had been smiling since she walked through the door.She had not laughed out loud, but the corners of her mouth had been twitching the entire time. She looked adorably silly, like a little kitten who had just enjoyed a delicious treat."Seeing you two handsome guys makes me happy!" Emma beamed. "I’m really lucky to have such eye candy."Asher had understood what Emma had said"Mommy is pretty!" he immediately replied.Landon had shut his mouth at Asher’s words.Great. Asher beat him to it.‘Couldn’t you have left that to me, little guy?’ Landon thought.Emma was Asher’s mom, but she had not fully accepted Landon as her husband in her heart yet so should not such a good chance to impress her be his?However, he was not going to give up so easily!He shifted his gaze to the items in Emma’s hands. "Did the shop develop new products again?""No," Emma said with a smile. "I brought these cakes back for

"I can only tell you this: as his grandfather, I can't control Landon, but... Emma has always been afraid of her mother," Leopold said, revealing a key piece of information to Connor.Connor looked at Leopold in confusion.Leopold smiled. "Ever since Emma got married, she hasn't kept in touch with her mother."In the past, Emma's mother often put her down for having a child out of wedlock," Leopold explained. He had not been idle during his time away from the company and had gathered a lot of information on Emma."They come from a working-class family, and their financial situation isn't great. Yet, they never troubled Landon for money."It all fell into place for Connor. He sneered with disdain, "Emma climbed up the social ladder and abandoned her parents? How ungrateful of her!""Indeed," Leopold sighed. "Emma doesn't acknowledge her parents, and Landon doesn't acknowledge his grandfather. They’re a perfect match if you think about it.""How can you tolerate this?" Connor
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 234
"How is that our problem?" Mary retorted. "It was Leopold who was unreasonable when he failed to manage Anthony. We were just preparing in advance to avoid being sabotaged by the Stirling family. What's wrong with that?""Landon should have understood our position," Mary continued to fume. "If the Stirlings had really abandoned him wouldn’t we have helped him?""Do we have to wait until our family is dragged down and left with nothing before we’re satisfied? Landon doesn’t understand, does he?" Mary said, her face contorted with frustration. "Whether he understands or not is his own business. This time, he must handle our affairs," Connor asserted firmly."Yes," Mary agreed.Connor began investigating Emma’s background, but Emma had no idea about what was unfolding. She was simply enjoying her recent happiness. Everything, from her career to her family, was going remarkably well. With the busy store, a cute child at home, and a considerate husband, Emma was experiencing for the

Phoebe’s words made the customers smile. Indeed, the store had always been involved in charity. A store that engaged in charitable work and had such a conscientious owner could not possibly mistreat her parents.Barbara had not anticipated that the manager’s words would shift the gaze of those around her. She sighed heavily and choked up, “Then... please tell her... that Mom and Dad miss her a lot…”Barbara left in a hurry, without even taking the cake Phoebe offered. Her eyes were red as she walked briskly out of the store.Phoebe struggled to maintain her smile, but on the inside, she cursed Barbara. It was so typical of someone to make it seem like Emma had done something wrong.Phoebe kept her face neutral despite her inner turmoil. She casually made her way to a corner of the store where no customers could see and quickly pulled out her phone to call Emma.Emma had just changed her clothes and was sitting down at the dining table. When she saw the call from Phoebe, sh

Landon nodded. “When the owner of a company is alienated from everyone, how can the company’s products be trusted?“For the sake of the company’s reputation, Stirling Group should probably consider replacing its leader,” Landon said calmly despite the situation. He knew without a doubt that it was the work of his relatives.Emma bit her lip in frustration. “That foolish woman!”Who were they when compared to the Stirlings? People like herself had no business meddling in such conflicts. Frankly, they were not even worth her time.“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Landon offered.Emma looked at Landon. “I’m sorry to trouble you.”Landon smiled. “You’re still apologizing? It’s my fault for involving you.”Emma saw Landon’s smile and pressed her lips together. “If they don’t consider us family, then we shouldn’t consider them as family either.”“It’s best to love oneself.”Emma spoke with utmost seriousness. She used to feel immense sympathy for her mother. Knowing that her father wa

Emma felt immensely relieved as she walked outside. She was grateful for her rationality, which prevented her from letting her emotions run wild. She understood her position and knew that some feelings, while intense, were not meant to be acted upon.When Emma returned to the dining table, Asher looked up at her in confusion. “Mommy, aren’t you going out?”“Not anymore,” Emma replied with a smile. “Daddy solved the problem, so I don’t need to go anymore.”Asher’s eyes widened in delight as he turned to look at Landon. “You’re amazing, Daddy!”Landon chuckled and ruffled Asher’s hair. “Because Dad worked hard at eating his meals and studying when he was young, he’s able to do great things now.”He glanced at Emma, proud of his new approach to teaching Asher, hoping for her approval.Emma was taken aback. Was Landon seeking praise from her? How could someone as accomplished as Landon want her approval?Landon’s smile deepened at Emma’s astonished reaction.Unaware of the exch

Landon smiled. He picked up a piece of egg with his fork and gently raised it to Emma's mouth. “Eat this while Asher is still asleep.”Emma was momentarily stunned and felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had seen scenes like that on TV—parents cooking in the kitchen while their children ran up to them. The parent would lovingly scoop out a special treat from the pot, quickly cool it, and quietly place it in the child's mouth. They would share a knowing smile, savoring their private moment together.Emma had always envied that natural, intimate bond and the effortless affection the couple shared. She had never experienced it herself until she became a mother. She then found herself unexpectedly immersed in that very feeling.Overcome with emotion, she did not think twice about the formality of the situation. Without hesitation, she took a bite of the egg. The taste was incredibly delightful, more than she could have imagined. The sense of happiness she felt enveloped her com

“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.
