My Mysterious Husband Chapter 355
“Hang on, Brett. What are you doing?” Emma asked as Brett entered a luxury boutique.“Shopping,” Brett said with a smile. “You bought a new dress—why not get a bag to match?”“No way!” Emma protested.“Don’t you like these bags?” Brett asked, puzzled. “They’re all so beautiful.”Emma sighed. “Thanks, but having money is nice too.”A small bag at the store could cost her thousands of dollars even from the cheapest of the range. Why would she want to spend that kind of money on a handbag?“I can buy a bag online for just a few dozen bucks, use it for a time, and if it lasts for a year that’s already worth it. If it lasts two years, I’ve made a profit,” Emma said casually. “The thing is, price doesn’t always reflect quality.“So instead of spending money on a bag, wouldn’t it be better to buy something else?” Emma said as she patted Brett on the shoulder. “And besides, you seem to have some misconception about my earning power. I don’t have that much money yet. I can’t afford to

Emma quickly retreated and positioned herself on the non-motorized vehicle lane, away from the girl.As Emma moved away, the girl stamped her foot in frustration and turned around shouting, “Bron! Bron! Where are you? Come out now!”The girl, Lila Reeds continued calling out to Bron as she walked off in the distance.Emma remained cautious and kept an eye on the direction the girl had left. She did not immediately make to leave, instead, she moved towards the center of the road and stood on the green belt separating the non-motorized vehicle lane from the motorized vehicle lane.That way, she would not interfere with the flow of traffic and would be in a relatively safe position.Emma promptly dialed a number and waited. She remained on the call and within minutes, a familiar figure appeared as he ran towards her.When Emma saw him, she smiled.She stayed put and waited for Landon to reach her.“Are you okay?” Landon asked, breathless and slightly flushed.Emma laughed lig

Emma had retreated quickly and positioned herself on the non-motorized vehicle lane to stay away from the girl. The non-motorized lane was separated by a high green belt from the motorized lane, so even if a car had come speeding towards her, it could not have harmed her.Normally, with so many people around, she would have been cautious and circled back home if she had encountered a situation like that. However, this time, she had instinctively called Landon the moment she realized something was off. It had been an automatic reaction.Emma had come to the realization that she had started relying on Landon, and was managing less and less on her own."After I suggested calling the police, her reaction became even stranger," Emma said with a cold laugh. "If she had truly been worried, she would have supported my decision."But what did she do?" Emma asked incredulously. "She insisted on searching for the child herself."Emma shivered as she recalled the incident. "I felt like she

“So you see, having substantial financial resources is crucial,” Emma concluded.Landon sighed and rubbed her head in exasperation. “You just want to get under my skin.”“I’m only speaking the truth,” Emma said with a smile, taking his hand and playfully shaking it. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.“You have both money and heart, which is impressive,” Emma said, her eyes sparkling mischievously.Landon laughed despite his irritation. “I’m not Asher, you don’t need to coax me like you do with him.”“Oh you could use some buttering up,” Emma teased as she leaned into his embrace.Now that Emma and Landon were more familiar with each other, the awkwardness had faded to be replaced by a natural ease.“Go ahead and arrange for a bodyguard if you want,” Emma said. Her life was going well, and she wanted to enjoy it peacefully. She did not want any mishaps to spoil her happiness.After chatting with Landon for a while, Emma checked the time and yawned. “I’m going to bed now. I’m s

They were puzzled but did not rush Landon for answers. They knew that he would clarify everything in due time. When the scheduled time arrived, Landon entered the conference room. Ezra had distributed the files to the company's executives. After they opened and reviewed the documents, their expressions turned from confusion to astonishment and eventually to excitement. The meeting lasted nearly two hours. By the time everyone left, they were energized and eager to tackle the new challenges ahead. Calvin was puzzled. “Why the sudden interest in this line of business?” “I think Stirling Group needs to diversify its business,” Landon replied casually. “The timing is perfect. It's a great opportunity for us to make our move.”“It won't be easy to take over that company,” Calvin said, furrowing his brow.Landon took a seat and smiled lightly. “I don’t intend a hostile takeover. My goal is to demonstrate Stirling Group’s strength and persuade them to partner with us.”Calvin pau

Penny frowned and asked, “What do you want with her?”She still remembered the sinister look Ellen had given Emma back at the set. It was unnerving.“Just checking,” Emma said and followed Penny into the car. “Kingsley is impressive, isn’t he? He said that I would not run into Ellen and I really have not.”“You know, that role would have suited Ellen as well,” Penny remarked.In the entertainment industry, there were many actors of similar types, and resources each year were limited. It was entirely normal for many actors to vie for a single role. Moreover, Kingsley was arranging auditions with major productions, not small, unpromising projects. Ellen should not have missed out on the opportunity.“That’s the magic of Kingsley Shacklebolt,” Penny said proudly.When Emma arrived at her lessons, she spotted Kingsley. She informed him about the audition and expressed her gratitude for his help.“Ellen probably won’t have any opportunities to compete for roles against you fo
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 361
“Do you seriously not trust Landon?” Kingsley sighed in disbelief at Emma.She was always hanging around Landon yet somehow remained so naive.“What does Landon have to do with this?” Emma was confused.Kingsley explained bluntly, “The trouble behind Ellen's backer? It was your husband who went after him.“You didn’t know?” Kingsley found it hard to believe.Emma shook her head, bewildered. “He didn’t mention anything.”However, something felt off, and she hesitated before asking, “Wait, why would my husband deal with Ellen’s backer? Is everything okay? Did he throw a bunch of money at the problem?“Making money isn’t easy for him! Why would he spend it on this? There are tons of people like Ellen. I could just avoid her, right?” Emma sounded anxious. Kingsley watched as Emma paced nervously, her worry growing with every step. She even fumbled with her phone and dialed Landon’s number.When the call connected, Emma jumped right into it. “I just heard from Kingsley that you de
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 362
Kingsley asked directly, “What if he’s just telling you what you want to hear, to make you feel better?”Emma paused for a moment, a look of confusion crossing her face. Then, she smiled and said, “That just means my husband’s really clever.”Kingsley was speechless.“He solved my problem, expanded his company into a new market, and the best part… he made a profit!” Emma’s excitement grew as she spoke. “He’s really something, isn’t he?”He could see now that it was a classic case of being lovestruck. Emma was sharp and smart when it came to most things, but when it involved Landon, everything he did or said was perfect in her eyes.“Alright, forget about all that. Focus on your class,” Kingsley said, not wanting to argue with someone so clearly under the influence of love. As long as it did not interfere with her acting, that was all that mattered to him.Later that evening, Emma came home with a cake to celebrate and was beaming with happiness.Her little boy’s eyes lit up

“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.
