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

Emma's patience surprised everyone. She remained on set for an extended period, quietly observing and taking notes. This only made Damien more excited about the next day.After returning to her hotel, Emma video-chatted with Asher for a while and then spoke with Landon. She pretended not to remember the earlier message, nor did Landon bring it up. They both tacitly agreed to ignore the incident. Hence, the video call was enjoyable, and Emma felt completely at ease.She even gave Landon and Asher a virtual tour of her accommodations. Asher was incredibly curious, asking about everything he saw. It struck Emma then that she had never taken Asher on a vacation. However, Asher was still young. She could plan trips for them when he got a bit older during the school holidays. The key was that she now had enough money to cover their travel expenses.After chatting for a bit, Landon ended the call, telling Emma to get some rest since she had a busy day ahead. It was her first day

Emma was at a loss for words.She had just joined the team! She had not done anything yet and was simply waiting for her makeup. So how could this happen?As Emma mentally complained, Lina spoke up, “Once the actors are done with their makeup, they need to show it to the director and take the official photos."We have a tight schedule. We can't afford delays," Lina said firmly, unyielding to any bad habits.Lina's makeup skills were renowned in the industry. Even if she left this production, she would be fine, having people lining up for her services.The woman's face darkened. She knew she could not persuade Lina and did not dare try. So, she shifted her focus to Emma. "Our Reina still needs her makeup done. We can’t have a missing lead actress during filming. It’ll delay the entire production, and no one can afford that. Don’t you agree?"Emma stared at the woman, incredulous. It was absurd that she, who was just starting out, was being blamed for a delay caused by the lead act

Her appearance was already excellent and highly versatile. In the entertainment industry, stunning looks are common, but to stand out in film and TV, one's appearance had to meet certain stringent criteria. One had to have a distinctive look suited for specialized roles or a high degree of versatility.The real challenge was being someone whose look did not vary much, no matter the styling. Without distinctiveness, it was not the character, but the actor themselves who became memorable.This newcomer, with her strong versatility, was the perfect choice for a fresh face, which is why the director was keen to cast her.“Go ahead and change into the costume,” Lina said casually.Emma headed to the nearby dressing room and changed into the costume for her role. As soon as she donned the flowing dress, her posture naturally shifted.Emma took a deep breath and immediately got into character.Meanwhile, Damien was almost beside himself with frustration. “Where is the lead actress? Wh
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 291
When Damien heard the news, his good mood instantly vanished, and his face darkened. "If she can't make it, then tell her to get out! It’s no loss to me!" Damien waved his hand dismissively.His reputation was well-established. If he wanted to attract investors, he knew he could easily do so. Besides, there was Emma's husband. Just seeing how Landon protected Emma made it clear that he cared about the role even more than she did. Now that Emma fit the role perfectly, if there were any issues within the crew, Landon would undoubtedly invest without hesitation. With such an assurance, what did Damien have to worry about? In the end, Landon would cover any losses. Anyone who thought they could stir up trouble in his crew would be sorely mistaken. The staff hurriedly ran off to find Reina at Damien’s outburst. Damien waited for Emma to finish her costume fitting so they could start filming immediately. Since Emma did not have many scenes, he planned to film them all to
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 292
Such matters had nothing to do with Emma. All she needed to do was focus on playing her part well. When filming officially began, Emma realized just how much there was to learn about acting. It was not just about being under the gaze of so many people without appearing stiff or nervous as if she were oblivious to their presence—that alone was incredibly challenging. On top of that, she had to be aware of the camera angles and her positioning constantly. With the reflector boards shining and the lights blazing down, she had to ignore all those external factors completely. Right from the start, Emma was stopped three times. "Sorry, Damien," Emma said apologetically. After three takes, she had still not nailed the scene which delayed everyone's progress. "Actually, that last take was fine, but let's adjust your focus and try it once more," Damien suggested. In truth, he was already deeply impressed. For a complete newcomer like Emma, to improve with every take on her ver
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 293
Emma's task was simple, she only needed to open her eyes when the lead actress approached, showing no emotion.She closed her eyes to keep herself from shivering and did her best to ignore the cold. “Ah!” A sudden cry startled Emma, causing her to open her eyes in surprise. That was not part of the script. When she looked up, she saw that Reina had fallen to the ground. The woman who had been trying to take Reina's place earlier rushed over in a panic, “Reina! Are you hurt?”“No, no, don't worry,” Reina replied, then apologized to Damien, “Sorry, I tripped.”Damien nodded and said nothing then instructed the crew to prepare for another take. Reina adjusted her costume and returned to her starting position to get ready. Emma glanced curiously at the spot where Reina had fallen. There were a few loose stones there, but... was it slippery enough to cause a fall? The thought flashed quickly through Emma's mind, but she did not dwell on it. She closed her eyes again and w
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 294
Once Reina left, Damien’s expression darkened. He had not expected to misjudge her so badly. He had always thought of Reina as a rule-abiding person, but he was surprised by her underhandedness. She had managed to maintain a facade of propriety, which explained how she had quickly risen to prominence in the industry. But now, Damien sneered. For someone who had just begun making a name for herself, Reina was already acting as if she were invincible. The industry was much more treacherous than she seemed to realize.Damien snorted coldly and immediately called Emma’s agent to report what had happened. The person on the other end of the line chuckled. “I’ve been out of the industry for a few years, but it seems like every Tom, Dick, and Harry is coming out of the woodwork now. Even people I used to work with are being pushed around. How interesting.”After the call ended, Damien chuckled to himself.This was someone known for their short temper, and Landon had even brought t

“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.
