My Mysterious Husband Chapter 335
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, you’re more than not bad.” Landon held Emma's hand confidently and said, “Think about it. I’ve met all kinds of women, yet I chose to pursue you in the end. Do you really think you’re all that bad?”Emma laughed at his words. “I didn’t realize I was that great. How did I not know?”Landon thought for a moment and said, “You’re being a bit too modest with that virtue of yours.”His serious expression made Emma laugh even more.That Christmas was the most relaxing Emma had ever had. Their chef prepared the Christmas Eve dinner, and the three of them made pierogi together.Asher wanted to help, so Landon eagerly took on the task of teaching him how to make pierogi. Emma, meanwhile, was left exasperated as she watched the two of them and told them to stick to rolling out the dough instead.Landon? Teaching Asher to make pierogi? Emma glanced over at the tray of misshapen pierogi, feeling speechless. Landon had made nearly twenty of them, and while they were firmly seale

“Even if it’s just an audition, and the director picks me for a role, that’s not something I can control. Directors choose actors based on the roles,” Emma explained. She was here to act, not to engage in petty politics. She might have handled things differently in the past, but now, with Landon backing her up, she was not going to let anyone target her unfairly.“Choose actors based on the roles?” Ellen turned red with anger. “Emma, how can you say that without feeling guilty?”Emma shook her head. “I don’t feel guilty at all because the director recognized my acting skills. The only reason you weren’t chosen was that you couldn’t ride a horse. But now that you’re in the cast, why are you hostile towards me?” Emma was confused. “I haven’t done anything to you.”“Why? You’ll find out soon enough. You stood in my way, and now my life is ruined!” Ellen snarled at Emma as if she wanted to eat her aliveEmma was bewildered by her hostility. What had she done?“Ellen, let’s go,” some

“Why?” Emma could not quite understand.Penny explained, “You got the role, and she didn’t. There’s likely a reason behind that.”Emma’s eyes widened in surprise.“Ellen’s agent is known for finding investors for her clients,” Penny continued.No longer was Emma naïve. If she could not grasp the implications by now, that would be a real problem.“Did she have to sacrifice that much?” Emma pondered. “Is acting that necessary? If you lose out on one role, you can always wait for the next. If you really don’t want to… you can change careers.”There were so many ways to make money; why did people fight so hard to get into this industry?“Maybe it’s for the dream,” Emma mused, coming up with a reason for herself.However, she still could not fully understand it.Was it worth sacrificing everything for a dream?She would rather give up on the dream and choose something else if that were the case.Penny gave Emma a helpless look and said, “Emma, wake up, will you?”“Huh?” Emma loo

Emma smiled, completely unfazed. "Nope, not mad at all. It’s got nothing to do with me."Blaming others for their problems was something Emma had seen all her life. Her mom was the same way. She would blame her grandparents for not supporting her, her dad for being irresponsible, and the world for not being kind to her. However, she could not confront those people since it would not have changed anything. So, it was Emma who got the brunt of it all. She was the one who had to bear all the weight of her mom’s complaints and negativity. Her mom’s unhappiness? It was all Emma’s fault.Compared to that, what was Ellen’s bitterness? Ellen was just a stranger. The pain caused by those closest was what cut deep. If Emma had survived that, who was Ellen? She did not even register."Don’t worry too much about her. Just keep an eye out," Emma said calmly. "If anything happens, my husband will take care of it."She knew what Landon was capable of. Also, she knew that Landon would al

“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.
