Penny waited outside for about twenty minutes before Emma finally emerged. Emma remained silent, her expression betraying nothing unusual.

Penny hurried over and led her away from the audition site.

Once they were in the car, Penny asked, "How did it go?"

"Hard to say," Emma replied, shaking her head. "It was just the usual process."

Emma could not decipher the director's thoughts.

He seemed very experienced, expertly controlling his facial expressions and body language. She could not glean any information even as she studied him closely.

"Let's head back," Penny suggested. "If there's any news, Kingsley will let us know."

"Alright," Emma nodded. "I can use the time to practice."

Even though she had attended the audition, Emma wanted to stay caught up on her lessons. Most of her classes had been canceled for the day due to the audition, so Emma finished her school day and returned home as usual.

When she arrived, Landon and Asher had yet to return, and the chef was busy pre

    "Alright," Emma replied with a smile, then headed to the dining room.Although Asher had gone to change his clothes first, Landon emerged from his room while Asher was still inside."I still don't know how it went. I couldn’t read the director’s reaction during the audition," Emma remarked casually to Landon.Landon smiled. "Don’t worry about the outcome. You got to experience a new role, and that's what matters, right?"After all this time studying, do you feel like you have a deeper understanding of your characters?" Landon asked.The topic immediately brightened Emma’s mood. "Absolutely! I feel like I’m seeing characters from a more nuanced perspective now."Landon watched her with a gentle smile as she animatedly shared her thoughts. When Asher finally came over, Landon scooped him up and placed him on a chair, ready for dinner.Asher listened intently while Emma spoke. When she was done, he eagerly clapped his little hands in applause. "Mommy is amazing!"Emma laughed. "Mo

    Asher looked from his mother to his father, then asked in his sweet, childish voice, "Mommy, what are you talking about?"Emma smiled and gently ruffled Asher’s hair. "Mommy is saying that Daddy is really thoughtful. He knows what Mommy likes, so he asked the chef to prepare the dishes according to Mommy’s taste."Before this, Daddy didn’t eat this kind of food," Emma explained. "Daddy is taking care of us."This time, Asher understood. "Daddy should eat what he likes too."Landon felt his heart warm at Asher’s words. Asher had been raised well by Emma—he already knew how to be attentive to others and was not focused only on himself."Daddy didn’t grow up eating what you and Mommy like, but after the chef adjusted the recipes, I found I liked it too," Landon said with a smile."Daddy tried it and thought it was delicious, so now we can all enjoy the same food together," Landon added with a laugh. "And if I ever want to eat what I used to, I can always ask the chef to make it for

    "You know, it’s hard to believe that you want to be with me," Emma said, still feeling incredulous.She always had a nagging feeling that Landon might one day regret it.Landon tapped her lightly on the forehead as she spoke.She instinctively recoiled and glared at Landon, wondering why he had hit her."I’m not foolish, that’s why I’m with you," Landon said as he patted her affectionately."I’m not lacking in money. What I seek is a sense of fulfillment," Landon continued with a smile. "You don’t know how wonderful it feels to be around you. Everything seems so much lighter."He pulled Emma closer, holding her tightly. "With such a great treasure, I’ve got to hold on tight. If you ever run off, I’ll have nowhere to cry."Emma found his words both amusing and endearing. However, being held so closely made her realize just how foolish she had been earlier. She had been the one to initiate the embrace—such a lack of reserve on her part. She was embarrassed. "Let me see where y

    Landon pretended to be nonchalant as he secretly savored the moment. Inside, he felt quite pleased. As a successful businessman, he knew how to maximize his benefits.Emma found Landon’s broad, solid chest very comfortable and did not want to move. But now, her face was burning up. If she stayed any longer, she was not sure how she would handle it!"By the way," Emma suddenly remembered, "Kingsley mentioned that he’ll arrange for me to learn horseback riding soon. Horseback riding!" She extended her arms as she spoke then gracefully extricated herself from Landon's embrace.As she moved away from Landon’s warmth, the cooler air around her felt refreshing. She breathed a secret sigh of relief, finally able to take in a normal breath.Being in Landon’s arms felt stifling. Her heart had nearly exploded from the intensity. Thankfully, she had come up with a natural way to escape.Landon watched Emma, whose face was flushed bright red. He used all his self-control to keep from laughing

    Penny looked at Emma in confusion.Emma smiled, her satisfaction simple and sincere. With everything in her life going smoothly, she felt incredibly happy.“You’ll be learning horseback riding soon. You have to be careful when you do,” Penny said, still puzzled by Emma’s contentment but dutifully reminding her of her upcoming activity.At the equestrian center, Emma threw herself into learning with dedication. Her effort was recognized and praised. More importantly, her horse seemed to take a liking to her, and Emma managed to forge a bond with the animal during her training sessions.Excited, she took several selfies to share with Asher when she got home. She imagined how thrilled he would be to see such a grand horse.After a few days of training, Emma received another notice. “Another audition?”“Yes,” Penny confirmed, quickly gathering their things and leading Emma out.“Can there be a second audition?” Emma was puzzled. The role she auditioned for had minimal screen time, a

    "Don’t rush," the agent reassured Ellen. "I’ve been trying to find you opportunities. You—""I just don’t understand," Ellen interrupted. "There are so many agents in the company. It’s not just those who manage top stars. Even those like you, who handle newcomers, manage to find so many roles for their artists. Why can’t you do the same for me? How are you handling things?"The agent was momentarily taken aback. "But, Ellen, the others who land roles often don’t do so legitimately. If you take shortcuts now, it won’t be good for you in the long run.""I’ve never taken shortcuts, I’ve listened to you. What benefits have I gained?" Ellen asked incredulously."I…" The agent began to respond, but the crew member from the production team interrupted them. "The director is ready for you.""Alright, thanks," the agent said quickly, forcing a smile as she led Ellen into the room.The director looked at Ellen and Emma, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Your acting styles are quite diff

    Just how charming was Landon’s wife?The office staff could only speculate, especially after seeing Landon's reaction when he received a message from her. He grinned widely, a sight so exaggerated it seemed like a display of pure joy.Emma, unaware of the office buzz, waited outside her classroom. From a distance, she saw Landon’s car approaching. As it stopped in front of her, she opened the door and climbed in.“Hi, Asher!” Emma greeted her son warmly.Asher beamed with excitement. “Mommy, I got first place in my poetry recitation today and got a red flower sticker!”“Oh, that’s amazing, Asher!” Emma exclaimed, her pride evident. “You’re so awesome!“Mommy did something great today too! I got the role I auditioned for. So, we’re going out for a special dinner to celebrate,” Emma announced with equal enthusiasm.Asher clapped his hands in delight.Landon, observing the joyful exchange between mother and son, smiled and drove them to the restaurant. He had already reserved a pr

    Emma carefully observed the area and confirmed that there was no one around. She felt a surge of anxiety and quickly stepped outside, scanning for any sign of Landon. She worried that someone from the Stirling family might be plotting against him. If that were the case, they would likely choose a secluded alley without surveillance. Emma looked around for surveillance blind spots and quickly identified a potential area. She hurried over, trying to stay as quiet as possible to avoid alarming anyone who might be a threat to Landon.As she approached the blind spot, she heard Landon’s muffled groans. Without a second thought, Emma lifted a loose brick and charged toward the source of the sound. She raised the brick high, ready to strike, but then froze in surprise.It was Landon standing there, looking at her with astonished eyes. The person curled up on the ground clutching his stomach was someone else entirely.“Are you okay?” Emma asked, her voice filled with concern.Landon lowe

    “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

    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.
