Emma paused for a moment but eventually nodded honestly.“You see, there’s really no need to worry,” Landon said with a smile. “Whether a couple stays together has nothing to do with whether they’re in the same line of work.”Emma nodded in agreement, but then... she froze. Were they not just talking about trying out a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? How did Landon jump straight to talking about marriage?Wait... was that not a bit too much, too soon?Emma stared blankly at Landon, feeling like something was off.Landon, looking completely innocent, asked, “What’s wrong?”Emma swallowed and shook her head. “Nothing.”Maybe Landon had said it without thinking. If she brought it up, it would only make things awkward.“Anyway, you should get some rest. If you need anything, just let me know. Whatever I can help with, I will,” Emma said.Landon, seeing Emma’s full support, smiled happily. “Alright.”Emma did not stay longer after that, not wanting to interrupt Landon’s rest.

One could not expect a child to keep studying if the adult was glued to their phone, scrolling endlessly. How can one demand something from their kid that they could not even do themselves?Emma had established a habit of studying with Asher when he was little. Even when she was swamped with work, she always carved out some time to sit down and learn with him.After they finished lunch and Emma got Asher down for his nap, she went online to check the latest news. The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt. The online buzz seemed to have died down, but the harsh comments about Landon were still pouring in.Emma could not take it anymore and quickly closed the webpage. It was just too much for her to handle. She was not built for this kind of pressure.If she felt this awful just reading it, how was Landon, the person at the center of it all, dealing with it? He was not only facing attacks from people he was closest to, but also bearing the brunt of strangers’ cruel gos

"You worked hard to raise me? Did I ask to be born?" Emma was in a terrible mood and did not hold back as she confronted her mother."Why did you bring me into this world? So you could have someone to dump your emotional baggage on? You’re too scared to stand up to others, so you take it all out on me!"If your husband’s irresponsible and doesn’t care, then divorce him. Don’t blame me for staying in a miserable marriage, saying it was for my sake! Your problems are between you adults—why do I have to suffer for them?"You made bad choices. What does that have to do with me? You knew he wasn’t reliable, yet you stayed and had me—why?"Emma was absolutely furious and lashed out. "It’s not like giving birth to me makes you some kind of royalty, where you’re always right!" Emma yelled angrily, "If you’re so upset, take me to court! I won’t shortchange you on your alimony, not a single cent."With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation. Her mother never cared about her feel

Barbara felt like karma was real—ungrateful people like Emma deserved their comeuppance! Children who did not respect their parents should be struck down by lightning!Especially since Barbara had been so good to her, staying in a tough marriage and raising her all alone. Emma was just heartless!Barbara kept cursing, but Bronson had lost interest. After a few half-hearted attempts to comfort her, he quickly left. If there was something to gain, fine, but if not, why stick around? No point in getting caught up in her mess, especially with all the hate comments online.Barbara’s reaction was exactly what Emma expected. She did not want to dwell on it, though. Instead, she focused on making dinner, thinking about what to prepare.That way, if Landon came home later, he could enjoy a good meal. No matter how tough things were outside, a satisfying dinner could help lift his spirits."Mommy, let me help with the veggies!" Asher came bouncing into the kitchen, raising his hand eage

He thought that at where they were now, Emma should at least give him a kiss. It did not even have to be on his lips. His cheeks would do, too.Emma glanced at Landon, holding a piece of meat between his teeth and not moving. She asked with concern, "Is it too hot? Spit it out then!"When she handed it to Landon, he held it with his teeth. If it was so hot that he could feel it even through his teeth…"No," Landon replied, taking a bite and looking at Emma with a complicated expression.Forget it. They had just confessed their feelings, and Emma had just agreed to date him. He could not rush her too much.Under Emma's watchful gaze, Landon slowly ate the crispy meat.Emma asked with anticipation, "Is it good?""Mm." Landon nodded, responding earnestly, "It’s a taste of heaven."Emma chuckled. "You’re just trying to make me happy."Landon usually ate at high-end restaurants. She knew her cooking was nowhere near as good as a top chef's. Landon was just trying to cheer her up.

Landon nodded. “Yeah.”“I knew it! You’re amazing! Of course, nothing would happen,” Emma exclaimed, giving Landon a playful slap on the arm and smiling like a child.“That’s wonderful!” Emma said excitedly. “Once you’ve sorted everything out, let’s go out for a meal to celebrate. My treat!”“You can pick any restaurant.” Emma’s joy was genuine. It radiated from her like a glowing sun, warming Landon.Landon could not help but smile as well and asked, “Emma, haven’t you considered something?”“What?” Emma looked at him curiously, waiting for him to explain.“Well, they were trying to go after me, but I knew I wasn’t going to lose. Many of the weaknesses they saw were actually ones I left intentionally for them to find,” Landon said, studying Emma’s reaction intently.Emma stared at Landon in surprise, then could not help but admire him. “You’re incredible. Was it about using their strength against them or countering their moves?“Wait, no, that’s not right…” Emma excitedly thou

Emma was speechless. "Why would you test me?"What value did she have that made him want to test her?“Think about it,” Landon began, “if I wanted to start a relationship with you, I would test whether you were worth my sincere commitment.”Emma frowned and thought for a moment. "I hadn’t really thought about it. Some people might find that uncomfortable. But I guess I did not think much of it,” Emma admitted. “Besides, it’s not like you could guarantee that you would win. And even if you lost, I don’t think you’d be defeated by it.“If we both work hard, we can still live a good life.”Landon agreed with Emma. "Yes, we can live a good life together. No matter what we face in the future, we can face it together."Emma felt a jolt in her heart. She looked up and stared at Landon.His words touched her.She imagined the two of them facing up to everything together.It was the kind of family she had always wanted.“Why are you crying?” Landon’s voice brought Emma back to reali

Emma needed to check the situation online first to ensure that everything was alright so that Asher would not encounter any trouble at kindergarten.To Emma’s surprise, the online narrative had completely shifted overnight.Landon had released a slew of evidence, exposing the actions of Leopold and the Normans within Stirling Group, as well as proof of their embezzlement.After Landon’s parents’ accident years ago, The Norman family had quickly taken advantage of their collaboration with Stirling Group, only to sever all ties with the company soon after.For years, the Norman family had had no connection with Landon or Stirling Group.Now, with the family’s business facing a severe financial crisis and in desperate need of an influx of funds, it only highlighted their greed and shamelessness.Even those who had testified in favor of Leopold and the Norman family were exposed for receiving suspicious sums of money.If that was not bribery, then what was it?Moreover, the account

“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.
