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

    Landon quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Emma, who buried herself in his arms, wiping away her tears before standing up. She gave him an embarrassed smile, embarrassed of the way she cried.It seemed like she was always embarrassing herself around Landon. Especially in front of him, her emotions were all over the place, and his kindness made it impossible for her to keep it together. It felt like he had soothed all the frustrations she had bottled up over the years, and her heart felt full. However, it was still so embarrassing. What if he thought she was just a crybaby?"Let me see," Landon said, examining her eyes, which were now red and puffy from crying. "When we get home, you should get some ice on it. Otherwise, it’ll show up in tomorrow’s shoot, and that won’t be good."Emma glanced at him quickly. "Do you… think I’m too fragile?"Landon reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of her head. "Crying in front of your husband isn’t considered fragile."H

    When Emma went to grab dinner, she made sure to give Landon two extra ribs. “The chef here makes the best ribs.” She said with a smile, “I’m not having any meat tonight, so you can have more.”“Are you sure?” Landon asked, concerned. It was cold tonight. If she was not eating meat, she would not get enough energy.“I’ll have eggs,” Emma replied. “Same thing.”Landon watched as Emma picked up a plate of plain vegetables and grabbed two boiled eggs. She only took a small portion of rice, opting for sweet potatoes instead. Since the meal was prepared for the film crew, the director had reminded everyone that the actors needed to maintain their figures. The meals were carefully planned for the actors’ convenience and also to keep the actors’ weight stable during filming so the final cuts would not be affected.After getting their food, Emma and Landon headed back to their room to eat. Tonight, there was soup, too—a rich and creamy one. Emma had poured two large bowls so they co

    Emma was utterly speechless. "You… you… can you have some shame?"If people at your company saw this, wouldn’t they be terrified?" Emma could not believe what she was hearing. “When I first met you, you seemed so put-together, such a corporate elite. And now… the difference is night and day.” Emma felt like she was dealing with two completely different people. How could Landon switch between extremes like this?Landon burst out laughing at her reaction. “Elite? Really? Was I that impressive? Did I sweep you off your feet at first sight?”He leaned closer to Emma, his eyes full of curiosity. “Did you feel a spark back then?”Emma shook her head. “Nope, no spark.” Landon frowned. “I was so handsome, such a professional. How could you not feel something?”Emma could not hold back her laughter. "Because I knew guys like you weren’t in my league.“Look, even Cinderella’s dad was wealthy. She wasn’t really at the bottom. If she was actually poor, how would she have gone to th

    "Now that I have you, Emma, I finally feel like I have a real home—a place where I can actually relax," Landon said with a soft smile.“Emma, do you know what it feels like to go from being constantly on edge, always feeling alone, to suddenly having a warm, safe harbor where you can rest?”His question struck a chord with Emma.Did she know?She knew all too well."It feels incredible," Emma admitted with a laugh. She tried to hold back, but the joy on her face was impossible to hide.“Exactly. If you ever leave me, you’d be ‘murdering’ me!” Landon scowled in warning. “Ms. Emma, don’t you think murder is a bad thing?”Emma stared at him, unblinking.Landon started to feel uneasy under her intense gaze. After a moment, he could not hold out any longer. “Emma, why are you looking at me like that?”“I’m just trying to figure out how the head of Stirling Group could say something like that,” Emma said, genuinely curious.Landon remained serious. “Emma, do you think a husband nee

    The wind howled through the mountains, whipping past the temporary cabins where insulation was not exactly great. Even with heaters running, it was nowhere near as cozy as being home. However, as Emma rested in Landon's arms, she felt safe—warmer, even.Her only concern was that Landon was leaving tomorrow. She could not help but worry, so she repeated herself, reminding him to be careful. "When you get there, give Kingsley a call," Emma said softly. "I'll be on set and can’t leave, but Kingsley can. He’ll be expecting your call."She needed to know that Landon had made it home safely and that he had picked up Asher."Okay," Landon reassured her, though he was just as uneasy about leaving her behind. He gave her the same sort of instructions in return.Emma listened intently, her lips curving into a small smile before lightly pinching his arm. “Spending so much time with you is giving me more wrinkles, you know.”“Huh?” Landon did not catch her meaning at first.Emma laughed.

    Emma only made a casual remark, saying her main focus was to play her role well. Whatever else was going on was not her problem. That was up to the production team to handle.After the current scene wrapped up, it was Emma’s turn to shoot. She performed with full concentration, unaffected by the drama surrounding the production.By the time evening rolled around, Emma had finished all of her scenes for the day. She had just removed her makeup and stepped out of the dressing room when she spotted Kingsley in the distance, talking with Luca.Instead of leaving right away, she waited for Kingsley to finish his conversation. Once he was done, she walked over to meet him. As they left the set together, she wasted no time.“So, how is everything?” She asked, clearly anxious.“You noticed, huh?” Kingsley began, but before he could finish his thought, Emma interrupted.“Noticed what? Did something happen to Landon? I didn’t sense anything!” Her heart started racing. “What’s going on?”

    Getting a solid script was no easy feat in the entertainment industry.For the right actors, crew, and script to line up to an amazing team was a rare miracle. So, when Kingsley came across a good script, and most of the production team seemed decent, he did not hesitate to sign Emma up for the role. Who would have thought Willa would stir up such a mess?Emma returned home, worried sick. She barely touched her low-calorie meal, her thoughts consumed with the future of the production. While she was panicking, Willa, the one who caused all this drama, did not seem to care one bit.Willa lay comfortably on her bed, applying a face mask. Eyes closed, she casually asked her assistant, “What did Luca say?”Lizzie, clearly nervous, stammered, “L-Luca said... um, he said...”“He’s not cutting that scene, is he?” Willa did not need to hear more to know what was going on.She huffed, “Fine. Let’s drag this out. We’ll see who caves first.”Willa was not worried at all.She was the

    “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.
