My Mysterious Husband Chapter 270
Just then the door to the suite opened. Landon crouched down and smiled. "What do you need from Daddy, little buddy?""Help me take a bath, Daddy. Mommy hurt her hand," Asher pleaded.Emma’s eyes widened in shock. What was Asher thinking?“He’s just being concerned for me. It’s nothing serious—just a small scrape,” Emma quickly explained to Landon. She did not want Landon to think she was pushing her responsibility onto him just because they had a contractual arrangement. Their relationship was not at such an intimate level yet.Landon, however, simply picked up Asher and said, “Get me the things for his bath.” With that, he carried Asher into the bathroom.Emma was left standing there in stunned silence. Was he really just going to walk away like that?“But you don’t know how to bathe a child,” Emma said with concern.“I do,” Landon said with a smile as he turned to Emma. “And besides, Asher will cooperate with me, won’t you, buddy?”Asher nodded vigorously. “Yes!”Emma w

Landon was a businessman, and every move he made had a purpose. Of course, he liked Asher, and Asher liked him too. Since Asher wanted to spend the night with him, he was more than happy to oblige. However, that did not conflict with his plan to gradually get closer to Emma.That night, Emma slept surprisingly well. She woke up at her usual time in the morning, and only then did she remember that Asher had spent the night with Landon. She was not worried at all, not even for a moment. Considering Landon had not come to her during the night, it meant Asher had not caused any trouble.After getting up, Emma washed up and went outside to see that Landon was already there. Seeing her, he smiled and said, “I’ve ordered breakfast. It’ll be here soon.”Emma smiled. “I figured. That’s why I didn’t order takeout myself.”She had not given it much thought; it was almost instinctual to trust that Landon would take care of breakfast.“Don’t worry about lunch either. I’ll have it sent ov

Emma felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that her efforts were appreciated and reciprocated. It was not like she was pouring her heart into a black hole, where nothing ever came back.She took a deep breath to steady her emotions and refocused on what she needed to do. She had plenty on her plate. The bakery needed to reopen, and Asher had to start preschool, which meant she had to get everything ready for that.After a few busy days, Emma finally got everything back on track. The little one was off to preschool, full of excitement, and Emma’s bakery was back in business. The store manager and staff did not say much; they just went about their work diligently.During those days, Landon occasionally had to work late, which Emma completely understood. After handling the matters with the Stirlings and Normans, his company probably needed some serious restructuring. She may not know much about that, but she did what she could. Every afternoon, she would prepare some food and take it

Emma was carrying shopping bags, casually browsing through the mall to see if she could find anything suitable for Asher. With business going well and finances in good shape, she wanted to treat her family to something nice.She ended up buying a few items and was heading out after paying when a man suddenly stopped her.“Excuse me, miss. Are you interested in acting?” he asked.Emma was taken aback for a moment but quickly smiled and shook her head. “Thank you, but I have a job.”The man continued, “Actually, I think you’d be perfect for a role in one of our shows. I’d like to invite you to audition.” He hurriedly handed her a business card. “Here’s my card.”Emma took the card with a polite smile. “Okay, I appreciate it, but I really don’t have the time.”“If you change your mind, you can give me a call within the next three days,” the man said warmly. “That role would be a great fit for you.”“Alright, I’ll think about it,” Emma said with a smile. “Sorry, I have to run now.”

Landon’s excitement lifted Emma’s spirits. Initially, she had felt a bit anxious about whether he would like the gift. However, seeing his reaction now, Emma felt that buying the gift was absolutely worth it just to see him so happy. It felt wonderful.Landon took out the tie, examined it closely, and immediately stood up to go to the mirror. He held it to his neck and said, “It looks great.”Landon’s every movement clearly showed just how much he liked the gift. Emma watched him with a sweet smile that spread across her face.She realized why she was so happy. It was because her gift made the recipient happy and she received positive feedback—a far cry from the times she had given gifts that were met with criticism and complaints about wasted money.Emma thought back and realized that anything she gave her mother would be nitpicked and criticized. She could not understand why her mother had to be so harsh or why putting her down seemed to bring her such satisfaction.However, s

“Scammers?” Landon frowned in confusion. “Are there scammers in the mall? Is it one of those beauty salons that lure people in with free offers and then pressure them into spending?” He knew that some businesses engaged in shady practices like that. His company’s mall had strict rules against such tactics. Any business caught trying to deceive customers in that way had their lease terminated immediately, and they had to pay compensation.Landon wondered if that was the kind of scam Emma had encountered. If it was some new trick, he would inform the mall’s management so they could be on the lookout.“The mall isn’t involved,” Emma said with a smile, shaking her head. “It’s a scammer pretending to be a talent scout.”“A talent scout?” Landon was taken aback.Emma chuckled. “Isn’t it interesting? You’d think talent scouts would be a thing of the past by now.“Nowadays, everyone’s trying to get noticed. There are so many ways to showcase talent, like on videos or social media channe

Landon spoke directly, stating his position. “My wife received a business card from you at the mall yesterday, mentioning a role that might be suitable for her.”The voice on the other end immediately responded, “Yes, that’s right. Sir, I assure you I’m not a scammer. I am–”“Famous producer Yannick Hart,” Landon interrupted. “I understand you’re currently working on a TV series.”“That’s correct,” Yannick replied with a smile. “It seems you know a bit about me, so you must realize I’m not a fraud. I’m wondering if your wife might be interested in coming in for an audition?”“What role are you considering for my wife?” Landon asked.Yannick raised an eyebrow slightly. The way Landon spoke was quite intriguing. He was not just another overly excited person or someone trying to put on airs; instead, he sounded composed and worldly.“Well,” Yannick began, “we’re producing a historical piece and need someone to play a mysterious and aloof sage.” As soon as Yannick finished speaking
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 277
“Mr. Landon?” Yannick looked at Landon, somewhat uncertain.Not long ago, Stirling Group’s affairs had been quite the sensation online. Everyone had been glued to the drama, and naturally, the identity of Stirling Group’s final victor, Landon, had been uncovered by netizens. After all, Landon had participated in numerous business events. Even though he had never publicly shared personal photos, there were always pictures from those events—albeit often distant or blurry due to his low profile.Yannick, a well-known producer, knew quite a few big names in the business world and had seen Landon from a distance a few years ago. However, he still recognized the man.Landon nodded slightly. After shaking hands, they both sat down.Yannick could not help but smile wryly. “I never expected that the right person I found would be your wife, Mr. Landon.”“What’s the script and what kind of role are we talking about?” Landon asked.“It’s like this…” Yannick explained the details to Landon.

“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

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.
