“Alright, let’s go this way,” Landon said as he guided Emma in a different direction.

When they arrived at their destination, Landon took the brick from Emma’s hands and carefully put it back in place. He treated the task with the seriousness it deserved, as it symbolized Emma’s affection for him.

Emma watched in confusion as Landon meticulously reinstalled the brick, even taking out a tissue to clean it. She was baffled by his intensity.

As Landon stood up, he saw Emma’s puzzled gaze and smiled.

It was Emma’s concern and willingness to help, despite the danger, that truly mattered to him, not the brick itself.

“Well, should we go to the hospital and get checked?” Emma suggested gently.

Landon laughed, “I’m not hurt. I was the one doing the hitting.”

“But what if you were hurt without realizing it? Like a head injury?” Emma argued, believing that avoiding medical checks was unwise.

Landon was taken aback. “Emma, where do you get the idea that I might be injured?”

Emma glanced

    After what just happened, it made sense that the little guy would be scared and worried. Emma knew she had to show him through her actions that everything was fine now—that she was back and everyone was safe. That way, Asher would not be left with any emotional scars.As expected, on the drive back, Emma kept talking to Asher. Before long, he returned to his usual cheerful self, as if nothing had happened. Once they got home, Emma took Asher to play before getting him washed up and settled down for some rest.Meanwhile, Landon was busy making a couple of phone calls to handle the lingering issues. How could those people let trouble get so close to him? What were they even doing?Emma did not bother asking Landon about how he was going to deal with things. That was not her area of expertise, and it would not make any difference even if she asked. Besides, she believed it was better not to know the specifics if Landon had not told her himself.Landon always appeared mature and cons

    “We need to make visits and pay our respects,” Landon explained. “In the business world, Christmas is the time to reconnect with people and strengthen relationships.”“Do you need to go?” Emma asked.Landon shook his head. “No, it's not necessary. My reputation isn't great right now, and everyone knows I have a cold and ruthless side. So usually, a simple phone call to wish them a Merry Christmas is enough. As for gifts and such, I have people who handle that for me.”Emma frowned, clearly upset. “They’ve treated you so badly. What’s wrong with you fighting back? How does that make you cold and ruthless?“Letting them walk all over you would be truly foolish!”Seeing Emma stand up for him like that, Landon could not help but reach out and pinch her cheek.Emma gasped, covering her face with her hands and staring at Landon in shock.“Sorry, I couldn't resist,” Landon said apologetically. Although he sounded apologetic, he did not regret it. He just found Emma too adorable to re

    Before Emma could say anything, little Asher held up his tiny hand and stopped Landon. "Daddy, we shouldn’t get too much," he said.“Eating too much candy will give us cavities,” Asher reasoned, speaking with all seriousness. “We should buy more after we finish these. If we buy too many, they might expire, and the candy will go bad.”Landon could not help but smile at the little guy, who was so earnest in his logic. He just adored Asher to bits. “Ash, you’re so smart. Okay, I won’t take too much. How about we just get a few, and you can pick it out?“You can pick while I hold the bag,” Landon suggested with a grin, letting his son do the choosing.Asher did not hold back. Carefully, he picked out the flavors he and his mom liked. Then, he asked Landon what flavors he preferred and added a bit of those as well.Landon looked at the candy in the bag. It was only about half a pound, so he glanced at Emma, silently asking if that was enough.Emma smiled and nodded. However much A

    They bought quite a few things, mostly items Emma and Asher used to buy. Landon paid close attention, making a mental note of their preferences.“Mommy…” Asher looked up at the kiddie ride in front of them.Emma smiled. “Let’s go, sweetie. We can take a ride on the kiddie car.”She always tried to fulfill Asher’s requests if it was within her ability to do so. Besides, Asher had always been an understanding child. Back when they did not have much money, he would be happy just getting a small taste of his favorite snack. He really had gone through a lot with her.Now, things were different, and she was earning a decent income. Not that her acting gigs paid much—after all, she had only played a minor role in one project so far, and the next one had not even started filming yet, but she had her bakery, which was doing well, so money was not a problem. It was no big deal if Asher wanted to ride the kiddie ride.As they watched Asher enjoy the kiddie ride, Landon turned to Emma and s

    Landon was still a little confused. “Why? Isn’t having it at home just fine?“You can play whenever you want,” he continued, “and it’s clean at home.”The more Landon thought about it, the more excited he got. He almost wanted to start making arrangements right away. Emma could not help but give him a playful nudge. “Stop getting carried away with your ideas.”“Huh?” Landon laughed at Emma’s comment. “Stop getting carried away?”“Stop letting your mind run wild,” Emma replied with a smirk. “It’s good for Ash to interact with other kids his age. If he skips normal social interactions now, it could be problematic when he’s older and enters society.”Landon frowned. “What if there are other kids who don’t behave and bully Ash at the playground?”Asher was a great kid, but there would always be unruly children. While Landon could help Asher out if needed, it would not stop Asher from being upset at that moment.“He needs to have good coping mechanisms.” Emma was exasperated with L

    “I’ve worked hard and sacrificed so much over the years. In the end, all I’ve gotten is an ungrateful child,” Barbara ranted.Emma had heard this same line from her mother countless times. Whenever Barbara was unhappy, she would use it to make Emma feel guilty, as if she had ruined her mother’s life. However, Emma had come to terms with it and was not going to let herself be manipulated by guilt anymore.“So why don’t you just leave him?” Emma asked, curious. “Is it really because you don’t have anywhere else to go?”“Don’t be ridiculous! I stayed for you. If I’d left, you wouldn’t have a home!” Barbara snapped, her face flushed with anger.“If you like living in a house where you're constantly yelled at and fighting all the time, fine, but I don’t,” Emma said while staring at Barbara. She did not feel anger anymore; she just found it absurd. Barbara’s endless lies seemed to be either her attempt to deceive Emma or to convince herself.“Aren’t you just trying to blame me to cove

    “Mom…”The sound of her son’s voice snapped Emma back to reality. She looked down to see Asher looking up at her with concern. Emma smiled and crouched down to scoop him into her arms. “Ash, are you not interested in the kiddie ride anymore?”“Mommy.” Asher did not fully understand what had happened, but he could tell that his mom was unhappy. When his mother was unhappy, he was not happy either. However, whenever he was sad, his mother would hold him, and he would feel better. Now that his mother seemed upset, he wanted to hold her and make her happy too. Feeling the little guy’s hug warmed Emma’s heart, and she could not help but smile. It also made her wonder why her own mother had to treat her so badly when the bond between a child and their parents was supposed to be the closest in the world. The more Emma tried to understand her mother’s struggles and tried to do right, the more she received nothing but criticism. Even though she had stopped reaching out to her mother,

    With the combined effort of the three of them and the housekeeper, they managed to transform the house into a festive, Christmas wonderland in just one day.Emma looked at Asher, sprawled out on the bed and snoring like a little piggy, and almost burst out laughing. She had to hold back her laughter and tiptoed out of the room.She approached Landon in the living room and said, “He’s out like a light. He must be exhausted from all the running around today.” The little guy had been so busy fetching and carrying things that his activity level that day had really exceeded the norm. No wonder he fell asleep before bedtime.“He’s not the only one. I’m exhausted too,” Landon said, stretching his neck and hearing his bones crack. “I haven’t done this much work myself in years.”Back in the old house, they always had staff to handle those things. The setup was even more elaborate than they were here, but Landon never felt any joy from it. For him, Christmas meant even more work. Visiting

    “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.
