“I missed you too, Ash,” Emma said with a smile, picking up her little boy and giving him a playful kiss on his chubby cheek.

Asher, happy and giggling, returned the kiss with one of his own on his mom’s cheek. Then, with a sweet, innocent voice, he said, “Mommy, Daddy missed you too.”

Emma paused, surprised, and turned to look at Landon.

Landon, keeping a straight face, nodded and said, “Asher's right. I missed you a lot, too.”

Emma’s lips twitched. Was she overthinking things?

Quickly, Asher chimed in, “Mommy hasn’t kissed Daddy yet!”

Emma shot a glare at Landon.

What on earth had he been teaching their son while she was away?

Landon met Emma’s gaze with an innocent expression. “Mom and Dad being affectionate is a sign of love and happiness.

“We’re a happy family, so of course, we should be affectionate.”

Emma stared at Landon, completely unfazed by his calm delivery.

A thought popped into her head.

If she had not kissed him yesterday, would he have taken the initiati

    "Because Mommy is going to get busier soon, going out often for work and filming. So, from now on, Asher will stay in this room with Daddy and Mommy. That way, when Mommy isn't home and away at work, Daddy can take good care of you," Emma patiently explained.“Will Mommy stay here too?” Asher tilted his head, full of curiosity.“Yeah,” Emma replied with a soft laugh.“Then when is Mommy going on another work trip?” Asher still missed his mom after not seeing her for so long.“Mommy will be home for a while now,” Emma reassured him, missing her little boy just as much.“How about we go out this weekend for some fun?” Emma suggested, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her son.“Yeah!” Asher was over the moon at the idea of an outing. “Mommy, where are we going to play?”“How about I let you decide?” Emma said, passing the choice to Asher.The little guy took it seriously this time. “I’ll have to think about it.”“Take your time, Ash. But first, let’s have dinner,” Emma said w

    "It’s going well," Emma said, her face lighting up with excitement. "I’ve learned so much."Seeing her so happy, Landon could not help but chuckle. "You’re really pleased, huh? Every day you’re dealing with injuries, almost getting heatstroke. What’s there to be so happy about?""Isn’t every job tiring?" Emma replied nonchalantly. "And acting pays way better than most other jobs."Noticing that Landon was about to speak, Emma quickly added, "I’m talking about regular jobs, not those super high-level elite positions."As an average person able to make this much money, acting is a great way to earn."Landon nodded. "Actually, Emma, the fact that you’ve managed to be cast in productions means you’re not exactly average."You’ve got talent too."He did not like how Emma always downplayed herself."You must not have seen truly talented actors to say that," Emma giggled. "In the sets I’ve been on, those seasoned actors can get into character in just a second."As soon as the cameras

    The household supplies had run out, so Emma was acting out having just returned from shopping and was busy organizing everything.She opened the bags and took out the soap and other items, carefully unboxing them and placing them where they belonged. Emma meticulously unwrapped all the boxes, stacking them neatly to the side. She shook the nearly empty shampoo bottle, then opened the faucet to fill it with a bit of water before setting it aside. After that, she placed the new bottle of shampoo in its spot. As for the remaining soap bars, she wrapped them up in the fine mesh netting usually used to protect fruits and tied them securely.Emma was still tidying up when the director called out, "That’s enough."She paused and turned to face him.The director nodded and said, "Have your agent come in to sign the contract."Excited, Emma bowed to the director. "Thank you!"She quickly rushed out to call Kingsley and share the good news. When it came to signing contracts, Emma

    Emma had Landon stumped. “Why do you think it won’t work?“You mentioned you wanted to learn those things. I can teach you. I have more practical experience than the instructor Kingsley hired,” Landon replied confidently.“But you’re so busy,” Emma pointed out. Was it not obvious?Landon could not help but laugh, reaching out to give Emma a gentle tap on the forehead. “No matter how busy I am, your needs come first!”Emma blushed slightly and scratched her head. “You’re really good at this... flirty talk.”Landon’s expression turned serious as he pulled Emma into his arms. “I’m speaking the truth. If you think I’m flirting, then so be it.”His low voice made Emma’s ears tingle. She instinctively reached up to touch them, her face growing warm. “Stop it.”“Are you upset? A kiss might make it better,” Landon said with a hint of pride.Emma stared at him in disbelief. Then she waved her hand in front of Landon’s face. “Are you... possessed?”Landon grabbed her hand, laughing. “

    “Files are only printed after they're confirmed.“Nowadays, most work is paperless unless absolutely necessary. We don’t print everything out like we used to,” Landon patiently explained to Emma.Emma nodded, trying to understand, but she was still puzzled. “You handle so much work every day? How do you manage?”She had not noticed Landon staying late at the office.“Once the company is running smoothly, I don’t need to oversee every little thing unless it’s a major project,” Landon explained. “A lot of the work is filtered through my secretary and assistants. By the time it reaches me, it’s usually something crucial.“If I were involved in everything, I’d be exhausted.“My efficiency is pretty impressive if I say so myself,” Landon said, showing off a bit.“Come. Sit down and see for yourself.” Landon gestured for Emma to take his seat.Emma hesitated as she looked at the large, luxurious office chair behind the desk. “Me? I don’t think it’s appropriate.”She understood the s

    Emma quietly observed as the company executives presented their reports. Though she could not grasp the complex data, she focused intently on Landon's expressions, hoping to glean some insight. However, after watching for quite some time, she noticed that his expression barely changed at all.Throughout the meeting, Landon spoke sparingly, but whenever he did, everyone in the room turned their attention to him, listening intently. His words, though few, always struck at the heart of the matter, making the person responsible for that particular issue tense and uneasy.The meeting dragged on for over an hour before it finally concluded. As soon as it ended, Landon stood up, and the other executives quickly followed suit. This time, Landon walked over to Emma, standing away from everyone, and gently took her hand instead of leaving the room as usual.To their surprise, Landon, who had maintained a cold demeanor throughout the meeting, was now smiling with extraordinary warmth.E

    "Do you mostly order takeout at the office?" Emma asked.Landon nodded. "Going to a restaurant can be a hassle. With takeout, I can handle some work while waiting, or I can take a bit more time to rest."Emma sighed. "Bosses are always busier than they look, huh? In TV shows, it always seems like the bosses have plenty of time to take vacations. They're on yachts or beaches, sipping red wine and basking in the sun, looking so relaxed and carefree."Landon thought for a moment and replied, "There’s time for that too, but it’s rare."Everyone has different priorities. Often, work comes first. When there’s too much to do, there isn’t even time to sleep, let alone go on vacation."Landon shook his head with a smile. "Right now, I don’t have the luxury of time. I need to focus on getting the work done, saving up some free time so that when Asher's summer or winter break comes around, we can take him on a trip."Emma paused, then laughed.He was already thinking of Asher and her as a

    Landon's words made Emma laugh. "You think everything about me is perfect, don't you?"Without hesitation, Landon nodded. "Absolutely."Amused, Emma served Landon a few dishes as she shook her head with a soft sigh. "That's the charm of being in love."During the honeymoon phase, all the flaws disappear, and you only see each other's strengths." Emma raised an eyebrow playfully at Landon. "So, after the honeymoon, many couples who get married suddenly realize that the person they're with isn't the same as the one they dated."She sighed dramatically. "So, do you think I should start worrying?"Landon looked at Emma, exasperated but still smiling. "Honey, we've already tied the knot. It's official."Emma blinked, then nodded. "Oh, that's true.""So, we don't have to worry about post-honeymoon issues. We're already in the 'after' phase." Landon asked, "Since you haven't noticed my flaws yet, I guess there's no problem."Emma rolled her eyes playfully. "Do you really think you h

    “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.
