My Mysterious Husband Chapter 280
Emma’s eyes crinkled with a smile, and she was genuinely enjoying the moment.The next day, Landon told Emma to stay home while he dropped Asher off at preschool. When the time was right, he drove Emma to her audition. As they were driving, Landon glanced over and asked, “Why are you staring at me like that?”“I’m just happy,” Emma replied, her smile never leaving her face. It was clear she was extremely content.“Why are you so happy?” Landon asked, finding it strange.Emma grinned and said, “Because you’re taking me to my audition.”Landon was momentarily taken aback, and a twinge of sadness tugged at his heart. Emma, however, was blissfully unaware of Landon’s emotions and continued cheerfully, “Honestly, I’m a bit nervous.“I’m really glad you’re here with me,” Emma said, a bit embarrassed. “Actually, I’m quite shy and have social anxiety.”As she spoke more, Emma grew a bit awkward. “Even though I seem outgoing and chatty with strangers, it’s all an act. I try to mask

"Alright," Emma nodded.She was nervous, but since she was already here, she was determined to give it her all.Landon sat nearby. His expression was calm, though his heart was racing. He had no idea what scene Emma was going to perform, let alone if she could pull it off.However, whether she succeeded was not the main issue—he was more worried about her confidence being shattered. He glanced at Yannick. They had agreed that even if things did not go well, Yannick would offer encouragement and positive feedback. If worse came to worst, Landon was prepared to pay whatever it took to secure a spot for Emma in the production. He had already made up his mind. There was no way he would let Emma leave feeling discouraged.Landon’s eyes were fixed on Emma as she stood quietly, eyes closed, perhaps preparing herself emotionally. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.The moment Emma's eyes opened, Landon felt his scalp tingle. What was this expression? How could Emma have such a look

"Your path in the entertainment industry will be smooth. I guarantee you'll be a big star, raking in tons of money," Damien said, his enthusiasm infectious.Yannick, standing next to him, could not help but chuckle. When he first scouted her, it was because her looks and aura fit the role perfectly. He had not expected her performance to exceed all expectations."As for the contract, I'll have my lawyer come by to handle the signing," Landon interjected.The director's smile faltered for a moment as he remembered that Emma was not just another hopeful trying to break into the industry. She was the wife of the CEO of Stirling Group, a wealthy woman regardless of her involvement in entertainment.The director internally sighed, realizing he could not use money to lure Mrs. Sterling into taking on more roles. It was a real shame. Finding such a naturally talented actress was rare, and he had hoped to work with her on future projects.With Landon handling the negotiations, there w

"And then, I just went for it," Emma said happily. "I didn't expect it to actually work out."Landon's lips curled into a smile. "That's great."Are we heading home now, or...?" Landon asked."Could you drop me off at the store? You should hurry to the office; I've already taken up too much of your time," Emma replied with a smile. "I also need to sort out a few things at the shop."Now that there was a manager at the bakery, Emma no longer needed to be there every day. That way, she could start her second career."Sure," Landon nodded. "Once the contract is finalized, we'll go sign it together.""Mhm." Emma agreed before suddenly realizing something. "Most people have a management company or an agent. Should I sign with a studio or entertainment company?"Landon chuckled. "Why would you sign with one of those?"I'll set you up with an agent for now. After this project wraps up, if you find it fun and want to continue, you can start your own studio."If you don't want to sta

Yannick stared at the freshly printed contract and could not help but chuckle as he said to Damien, “Mr. Stirling really is protective of Mrs. Stirling, isn’t he?”“Well, they’re a couple,” Damien shot back, rolling his eyes at Yannick. “It’s clear they’re a genuine couple, not just putting on a show.”Yannick nodded thoughtfully. They had seen their fair share of wealthy couples in their line of work. On the surface, everything might seem harmonious, but it was the little details that revealed the true nature of their relationship. Landon and Emma’s dynamic was truly a first for them.Many of the clauses in the contract did not really need to be so precise. In fact, they were not all that meaningful. However, the lawyer Landon sent over was meticulous about every single word. Everything had to be crystal clear, leaving no room for misinterpretation. It gave them a firsthand experience of what it meant to be a meticulous lawyer—truly leaving no stone unturned.“Do you think E

Emma was not exactly a newcomer; she had plenty of backing."When Emma joins the set, keep an eye on things. Don't treat her like an ordinary actor," warned Yannick, reminding his old friend.Damien, eyes wide with disbelief, retorted, "Why should I?"Anyone who joins my set is an actor. If they're not there to act, they shouldn't be there at all!"Yannick sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration. He wished he could knock some sense into his old friend. "Are you crazy? She's the wife of the CEO of Stirling Group. Didn't you notice how much Mr. Stirling dotes on her?""I don't care! I'll film it the way it's supposed to be filmed. I'm not going to give her any special treatment because of who she is," Damien insisted stubbornly.Yannick let out a cold laugh and asked, "And what if she gets upset and walks out?""Then let her walk! We'll just find someone else!" Damien stiffened his neck, stubborn as ever, defying any argument.This time, Yannick could not hold back and kicked

“Ash, look at how hard Mommy is working! She’s learning new skills to play her role better.” Landon took the opportunity to praise Emma.Asher nodded enthusiastically and gave his mom two big thumbs up. “Mommy, you’re awesome!”Emma chatted with her son while casting a glance at Landon. This guy was catching on, using the same parenting techniques she had taught him. Whenever there was a chance, Landon would take the opportunity to say something positive to Asher. As a parent, what one did mattered more than what they said. Children learned by watching their parents, so leading by example was crucial.After playing with their little one for a while, Emma put Asher to bed. Meanwhile, Landon returned to his suite to arrange for someone to find the right instructor for Emma.Landon’s connections were no joke—finding the right person for the job was a breeze.The next day, Landon had already lined up a contact for Emma. She confirmed the schedule, and from then on, she would spend
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 287
Emma did not know what to say and stayed silent.Landon, filled with excitement, finished speaking. However, the silence on the other end of the line puzzled him. He pulled the phone away to check the connection, confirmed the call was still active, and then brought it back to his ear. "Emma, are you there?""Yeah," came Emma's soft reply.Landon asked again, "Was the signal bad earlier? Did you miss what I said?""No," Emma's voice was noticeably tense.Landon was confused for a moment, but then it suddenly clicked. He could not help but chuckle. "Emma, are you feeling shy?""I'm fine here, nothing to worry about. I’m going to hang up now," Emma said hurriedly before ending the call.Instead of being upset, Landon burst out laughing after she hung up. He had been so overwhelmed by the good news earlier that he completely forgot to consider Emma's feelings. So, that was why she was so quiet when they parted. She was embarrassed.In high spirits, Landon drove back to the

“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.
