Landon did not head back inside the house. Instead, he grabbed a quick bite to eat outside, cleaned up, and placed the dishes where they belonged. With nothing much to do, he wandered over to the set where Emma was filming, curious to see how things were going.

Once he arrived at the set, Landon made sure not to disturb anyone. He found a quiet spot off at the side where he would not be in the way and settled down, watching silently.

Though he had seen Emma act before, watching her act live on set was a completely different experience. He was particularly impressed with how well she was doing.

What really stood out to him was how Emma nailed almost every scene in one take. That alone was enough to show how skilled she had become. However, instead of playing the lead role, Emma played the second female lead.

Landon did not usually interfere with Emma’s career choices, leaving most of that to casual conversations. As far as planning her path in the industry, that was all handled by

    Emma looked up, smiled, and shook her head. “No, thanks. We’ve got our food.”The woman glanced at Emma and then at Landon sitting beside Emma. Her eyes flickered with surprise. Clearly, she had not expected Emma’s partner to be so strikingly handsome.Landon, who usually exuded a commanding presence at work, now looked more like an effortlessly charming and attractive man. Even in the entertainment industry, someone like him would stand out.“And this is?” the woman asked hesitantly.“My husband,” Emma replied with a smile, keeping it short. She did not bother mentioning his name or what he did for a living, making it clear she did not want to dive into any details. The woman got the hint and nodded. “Alright, enjoy your meal.”With that, she turned and walked away.Once she was out of earshot, Landon leaned in and asked, “Who was that?”“The lead actress’s assistant,” Emma answered casually.“You don’t like that lead actress, do you?” Landon said, but it was more of a sta

    “I’ll back you up,” Landon said with a smile.“Of course,” Emma teased, resting her head on his shoulder. “You’re mine. You have to back me up!”Landon chuckled, his shoulders shaking slightly. “I’ll back you up anytime you want.”That small gesture of affection made Emma emotional. Her eyes began to water, and she could not help but sniffle.Landon immediately noticed the shift in her mood and looked at her with concern. “Hey, what's wrong?” he asked softly, sensing she was on the verge of tears.“I'm just touched,” Emma replied with a laugh that broke through, feeling a bit embarrassed by how she was both crying and laughing at the same time.She grabbed a tissue and dabbed at the corners of her eyes, smiling sheepishly at him. "I guess I’m just really emotional.""You’re really touched, huh?" Landon said, half laughing and half in disbelief as he pulled her closer and wrapped an arm around her. "Look at you, all teary-eyed."Emma knew he was teasing her, and with a playful

    None of it mattered to her anymore. Emma was willing to give up everything just to see Asher happy. As for Landon? He was just too good to be true, so good that she could not even find the right words to describe him.“If I wasn’t such a great guy, how could I have landed such an amazing wife?” Landon teased. “Remember all those options I had back then? Yet, I still chose you in an instant.“This is fate,” Landon said confidently. “Emma, you were destined to be mine.”He flashed an exaggerated “evil” smile and added, “You may as well just accept it.”Emma rolled her eyes at him. “With a rich and handsome guy like you? Of course, I’m holding on for dear life. I’d be crazy to let you slip away.“I’m no fool. I’m definitely holding on tight!” she said, lifting her chin slightly, her eyes playfully warning him to behave.Landon could not contain his laughter, his shoulders shaking at her cheeky expression. The couple sat there, laughing and bantering, completely lost in their world

    “What are you doing?” Willa glared at her assistant. “I told you to find a way to put Emma in her place, not to praise her!“Who is Emma, and who am I? Do you really think I should be the one flying on wires and jumping into dirt pits? If I get hurt, who will take responsibility for that?”Willa’s face had turned as dark as a storm cloud.Lizzie quickly tried to explain herself, “Willa, that’s exactly what I meant! Look at Emma. She takes on everything without complaints, and what does that tell you?”“What?” Willa snapped impatiently. “Just say it already! Don’t drag it out.”She was already boiling with rage. There was no way she had the patience for games right now.“I’m saying, Emma must be broke,” Lizzie said with a sly grin. “Look at what they’re eating. It’s just the basic crew lunches.“And what are you eating, Willa?” Lizzie continued. “Why do you think I went over and invited Emma to eat with us earlier?”Willa glanced at the exquisite meal in front of her and chuckle

    Even though Emma had weathered the storm herself, she still made an effort to look out for others. The thought of it left a bitter feeling in Landon’s heart. All he wanted was to protect her better, to make her a little happier.“They’re about to start filming again. I need to get going.” Emma reluctantly pulled herself from Landon’s embrace as she checked the time.“If you’re tired, just go back and rest,” Emma added, concerned. “It’s chilly out here in the mountains. Make sure you’re dressed warmly. There’s hot tea over there, too. Don’t forget to have some.”Hearing her fuss over him like that, Landon chuckled and raised his hand in a mock salute. “Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be on my best behavior.”Emma laughed at Landon’s cheeky behavior. “You better be.”“Go on, now,” Landon urged.Emma needed to touch up her makeup before getting back to filming, so she could not afford to waste any more time. With that, she waved goodbye and hurried off to find the makeup artist.Once her

    Landon chuckled. “Why are you being so polite with me? Just give it to me after you’ve had enough. Look, you’ve got sauce on your hand.” Without thinking twice, Landon pulled out a napkin and gently wiped Emma’s hand for her.“If I wait until I’m done, it’ll be soggy,” Emma protested.Landon took the burger from her, smiling silently. Then, before Emma could react, he leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.Emma flinched, her eyes darting around nervously. “There are so many people here!”“I’ve got you covered. No one saw a thing.” Landon grinned mischievously, looking like a kid who had just gotten away with something naughty. “Don’t worry.”Emma raised an eyebrow, pretending to be unfazed. “Just hurry up and eat.”If not for the redness on Emma’s cheeks, Landon might have believed she was truly calm. However, seeing how embarrassed she was, he decided to drop the teasing and continued eating his sandwich alongside her.Not a fan of cucumbers, Landon casually pulled

    Willa stormed off without so much as a pause. Behind her, the furious Luca slammed his script down onto the ground.Lizzie, utterly panicked, immediately sent a message to Willa's agent. At the same time, she rushed over to Luca to apologize. Her priority right now was not calming Willa down, even though she knew the actress was fuming. The director was key.If Luca got upset enough to replace Willa, or worse, if rumors started spreading about her being difficult to work with, it could severely damage Willa's reputation in the industry. Nobody wanted whispers of diva behavior following her around.Emma glanced over and quickly realized the shoot for the day was over."That's it. Everyone go home! We're done for today!" Luca shouted, waving his hand angrily.The crew scrambled to clean up, moving fast to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of Luca’s bad mood.Emma sighed and headed to the makeup room to have her makeup removed. When she stepped outside afterward, she saw Landon

    Landon looked away from the horizon and turned to Emma, replying earnestly, “It is.”Feeling the intensity of Landon’s gaze, Emma froze for a moment. Then, when she met his serious eyes, her heart fluttered, and she could not help but bite her lip.“You…” Emma started to speak but suddenly found herself at a loss for words. It was as if she had so much to say, yet she did not know how to express it.“Am I beautiful?” Emma put aside her thoughts and asked Landon with a playful smile, “What makes me beautiful?”“You’re beautiful inside and out, but most of all, you have the most beautiful heart and soul,” Landon replied sincerely. He truly believed what he was saying.“I think so too,” Emma said, then giggled. “Am I being narcissistic?”Intrigued, Landon asked, “Why would you think that? Is it narcissistic to speak the truth?”Emma laughed, and her body trembled slightly. “Am I really that great? To be honest, I don’t have much confidence. I was trying to put on a brave face

    “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.
