My Mysterious Husband Chapter 41
"It’s the right thing to do, isn’t it?" Emma said with a cheerful smile, not dwelling on the fact that she had helped Brett in the past. There was no need to bring it up.Moreover, when Emma was struggling with the challenges of childbirth and postpartum stress, Brett was a tremendous help. Emma would never forget Brett’s kindness.Knowing Emma's nature, Brett decided not to pursue the matter any further and instead focused on their current topic. "So, tell me about the person you married. What's his story? What does he do for a living? How old is he? And how are you two managing your life? Do you split your expenses equally or do you have other arrangements?""Don't worry. I'm not foolish enough to sell myself just for the sake of settling down." Emma said with a smile.Emma knew that Brett was genuinely concerned for her, and feared that she had ended up at a disadvantage in the arrangement.Emma chuckled and confessed, "He's four years older than me, and he’s turning thirty thi
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 42
Emma carefully explained the situation to Brett. "I applied to two public kindergartens. One rejected the application, and the other one we did not pass the interview."Emma explained what her uncle did and her speculation of his involvement. "I can’t be sure but it’s too coincidental.""I’m sure you’re spot on!" Brett was immediately upset. "Your uncle is petty, and I won’t put it past him to do such things."So now what are you going to do?" Brett asked anxiously. "Have you chosen a kindergarten for Ash?""I've chosen one..." Emma said as she explained her decision to Brett. After chatting for a while, Emma felt that they should head home as it was almost bedtime for Ash.At 8:30 PM, Emma and Brett left the restaurant and headed home separately. After Emma arrived home, while Asher was removing his shoes at the entrance, she made a phone call. "Brett, I'm home now. Don't worry, I know... Sure, don't worry."After ending the call, Emma looked up in surprise: "Mr. Landon?"L
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 43
Landon stood there with his brows tightly furrowed. When Emma finished putting Asher to sleep and emerged from the room, she was startled at him still standing outside the door.She looked at Landon and hesitated before asking. "Is there something wrong, Mr. Landon? Why are you still standing here?""In the future, you should maintain some distance with people of the opposite sex, and be cautious in your speech," Landon said solemnly.What was Emma saying on the phone just now? When speaking to her friend, Emma sounded cute. How could she speak with such a sweet and enticing voice? "I hope we won't encounter any other problems during our agreement period," Landon said. Landon's voice had turned cold."I don’t think we will, Mr. Landon," Emma said once she realized it was about their agreement. If she was going to pretend to be Landon's wife, she needed to be mindful of her words and actions. But then again, she did not have any friends of the opposite sex... Then it occurred

"Yes, he is," Emma nodded with a smile. Then she arched her eyebrows as she reminded him, "But..?”“But, besides Mommy, I should not trust anyone else! I should listen to you, and if there's anything I need, I should go to you!" Asher crisply asserted.He had not forgotten what Emma had taught him!"Exactly. Fantastic! I’m so glad that you remember that, Ash. This is our little secret so you can't tell anyone, okay?" Emma said with a smile as she affectionately tousled Asher's head before heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.Emma felt that one had to be cautious with people. Many children become victims of people they are familiar with and those who appear friendly are generally anything but. People's hearts are inscrutable so she did not want to take any risks with Asher.A little more caution never hurt anyone.During the day, she took the opportunity between deliveries to visit the reputable kindergarten she had shortlisted to register Asher for an interview. Then sh
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 45
Asher tilted his head, trying hard to recall. His mother seemed to have mentioned the kindergarten to Aunty Brett last night, so he earnestly nodded, "Yes."Landon's eyes darkened suddenly. This Emma...Back then, Landon had assured her that he could help with Asher’s kindergarten application, and she had insisted that she would not trouble him. If she did not want to trouble him, why did she seek help from other men? Did she even remember who her husband was?Could that friend, Brett, match Landon’s capabilities?Landon made a decision, and that evening, after finishing dinner, he went back to his suite and made a phone call. The matter of Asher’s kindergarten application was resolved without Landon personally approaching any of his contacts. His assistant had handled everything.The next day, Landon deliberately left work early and, upon opening the door to his home, overheard Emma excitedly saying, "Ash, you're enrolled in kindergarten!"Landon placed his car keys on a table a
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 46
Emma was puzzled as she glanced at Landon. Was everything okay with him? She could not comprehend how the mind of a wealthy person operated."Mr. Landon, it's not that I don't want Ash to attend Little Sunshine Academy, it's just that I can't afford it," Emma patiently explained, considering Landon's role as the financial provider."Little Sunshine Academy offers bilingual education, they have dedicated nutritionists, chefs, and even a psychologist. Not to mention the outstanding facilities they have—it's incredible," Emma said, barely keeping the longing from her voice.She sighed heavily, "But there's only one issue with the place."Landon frowned, "What’s the issue?"Emma shrugged, "It's expensive. Of course, it's not Little Sunshine's problem; it's mine. I don't have the money."Who would not want the best for their child? The issue was, did she deserve it any more than someone else? Probably not."If I arrange for Ash to attend that kindergarten, would you accept my help?
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 47
Emma watched as Landon entered the suite. He looked imposing and she was utterly dumbfounded. He was usually self-assured but there was a touch of silliness in his actions that day.Emma dismissed the thought as soon as it came to her. Landon was an elite, and so he could not possibly be acting so foolishly. For someone of her status, she might have misunderstood him.Just then, Emma's phone began to ring frantically. She glanced at the tightly closed door of Landon's suite and retreated to her bedroom before she answered the call.For some reason, she had an intuition that the call would trigger a reaction from Landon. She could neither explain nor shake off the feeling.As the call connected, Emma was bombarded with questions from Brett. "Who was that just now? Your fiancé? He seems quite formidable. So he has sent Ash to Little Sunshine Academy."Hey, why do I feel like he's jealous about something? He said he wanted to treat me to a meal, but it sounded more like he wanted to
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 48
"Mmm, okay." Brett understood Emma's temperament well. If Brett did not accept the gift, Emma would feel uneasy about accepting any other favors in the future."Just send over a small some and I'll treat my friend to a meal," Brett said, and immediately her phone beeped.She glanced at it anxiously. "I told you to send something small, why did you send 2,000 bucks? What's going on? Did you recently come into some money with nowhere to spend it?"Emma smiled at Brett's reaction, "It's a private kindergarten. Something like 500 dollars won't cut it."Emma was not naive. Brett had gone out of her way to help, and Emma did not want Brett to feel like she had been taken advantage of."If it's not enough, let me know. I want to make sure it covers the cost properly. Okay, I’ve got to prepare the documents for Ash.""Hey, don't forget, have your husband treat me to dinner tomorrow at noon," Brett said as she quickly recited the restaurant's address. "If you don't bring him, I'll cry."

“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.
