My Mysterious Husband Chapter 49
Ezra could not possibly question Landon especially if he still wanted to stay in the company.Ezra’s high-paying position at Stirling Group coupled with the company’s stellar reputation allowed him to endure such grievances every month. Ezra was not planning to mention the matter, but Landon brought it up instead.“Why didn't you confirm the time with me?” Landon asked him. “You’re lucky this is a small matter. If it was for something else, something like not confirming the time could cause significant losses to the company. Have you considered that?”Ezra opened his mouth but could not find a reason to refute Landon’s logic. He felt that he may have been too sensitive that morning. Landon had sent a message to scold him not because Landon was harsh or trying to give him a hard time but because it was for Ezra’s own good. If his negligence had caused a major loss to the company, it may not only cost him his job but could also affect his family.Ezra broke into a cold sweat

Brett felt she had to stand guard for Emma otherwise she could easily be taken advantage of.Emma was too kind, and when pushed too far, she did not know how to fight back. Emma never expected Brett to play such a trick on her, leaving her utterly dumbfounded. After all, her marriage with Landon was a contractual agreement. How could she trouble him to come over for such a matter? Moreover, it was lunchtime. Coming from his company to have a meal and then going back would disrupt his work."What's wrong? Is he treating you badly?" The moment Brett saw Emma hesitating, her expression instantly darkened."No, no!" Emma hurriedly shook her head, her thoughts racing. "I'll message him now. But, you know, he's quite busy with work, and he might not have time to come."She would send the message, and if Landon declined, that would be fine. Someone in his position would be incredibly busy. She was banking on him declining her invitation and not showing up.With that in mind, Emma beg

Landon pressed the car to its speed limit and arrived at the restaurant in record time. He briskly walked to the private room, not bothering to knock, and simply pushed open the door. He wanted to see what kind of relationship Emma had with Brett, in his absence.As the door opened, he was met with the surprised gazes of Emma and Asher. There was no third person in the room. Brett was not there.Landon sneered inwardly. If someone had the guts to provoke him, they should at least wait for him to show up. Brett seemed to lack the courage for such sensibilities."Mr. Landon!" Asher joyfully waved his little arms as soon as he saw Landon. He was so delighted!Seeing the adorable smile on Asher's face, Landon's heart instantly melted. "Ash.”Emma noticed that the cold aura around him a few minutes ago dissipated. She blinked in confusion at the sudden change in his demeanor.While conversing with Asher, Landon quickly scanned the dining table and noticed a cup that seemed recentl

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Brett. Emma is my wife, and taking care of such matters is my responsibility,” Landon extended his hand, offering Brett a formal handshake. He released it after giving her hand a slight squeeze.His gentlemanly demeanor earned him some points in Brett's perception.“Please have a seat,” Landon's anger had subsided, and rationality returned to his mind. He reverted to being the composed and in-control CEO.Once everyone was seated, Landon glanced at Emma and spoke with a hint of helplessness, “Emma insists on handling things regarding Ash's enrollment in the kindergarten by herself.“It's my fault. I’ve not dealt with such matters before, and I apologize for letting Emma trouble you,” Landon's attitude was gentle and friendly, portraying the role of a stepfather convincingly, leaving Emma staring at him in astonishment.She had to remind herself that she and Landon had signed an agreement. They were in a contractual marriage so nothing here was re

Emma nodded with a smile, "I know, I know, I'll do my best!"How could she not know the type of person Landon was? The question is... was she worthy of his affections? It was better to be honest and practical when considering such a question."Let me tell you something," Brett whispered to Emma, "Your husband was jealous."Emma's eyes widened in surprise. Where did Brett come up with such an absurd conclusion?"You see when I entered the room just now, your husband looked at me like he was going to murder me," Brett said in a low voice that made Emma burst into laughter.She patted Brett's hand, "Stop making things up, what murderous gaze?"He's in charge of the company and handles a lot of things. Being stern and having authority is normal," Emma explained.Jealous? Landon was not an average man. Why would he be jealous?"As someone who’s never been in love, you wouldn't understand," Brett said and glanced disdainfully at Emma, "Landon must have thought that I was a man."Emm

"He’s being patient with me because I’m your friend!""He's so good to you!"Brett was almost shouting at Emma.Emma was amused at Brett’s agitation, "I know, he's good to me, and I'm working hard to build a relationship with him. Don't worry, I'll do my best to hold onto him!"Brett sighed in relief, but still reminded her, "Work hard okay? Don't miss out on such a good man.""Of course," Emma said with a smile on her face.The truth of the matter was something Brett would never know.Landon was also bound by the secrecy of their contractual marriage. It was something they could not let others know. The true circumstances of her marriage were destined to disappoint Brett, who cared for her.Landon had settled the bill on his way back from the washroom with Ash. Brett had driven herself there and left first.Turning to Emma, Landon said, "Wait here for a bit. I'll bring the car around."Emma immediately refused, "No need, we came by the subway. It’s very convenient. You sho

Emma took Asher home and put him to sleep. Afterward, she went out to deliver food and run errands. Landon returned to the office to meet with a manager named Cole Sandler who worked with him.After Cole finished his explanation, he noticed that Landon had remained silent. Cole began to feel anxious, trying hard to recall if there were any discrepancies in the work he had just reported. Was there an oversight somewhere? Why had Landon not said anything?Cole nervously thought about it, and in just a few breaths, he broke into a cold sweat. Calvin, who was also present at the meeting, quickly perused the report but could not find any issues with it. Could there be some details he had overlooked?"Alright, I understand. You can leave now," Landon said suddenly. Cole felt instant relief wash over him and hurriedly left the meeting room.Calvin chuckled and asked, "Why did you give him such a hard time? Has he not been performing well recently?"Cole had certainly looked terri
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 56
Landon's thoughts about Brett had been unfair. Emma had not known what he was thinking, so it was not fair to treat her the way he had.Emma's top priority was her son, and since little Ash was about to start kindergarten, buying him some things would be useful."Forget I asked," Landon said as he stood up and grabbed the car keys.Calvin asked in surprise, "Where are you going? There's a meeting in the afternoon, and it's about to start soon.""You can handle it. It's not an important meeting," Landon waved his hand and left without a backward glance.Calvin was left in disbelief. Who on earth was Landon's wife? In such a short time, she had managed to deeply influence Landon. As a good friend, Calvin could not stand by and watch Landon be captivated by that scheming woman.Unaware of Calvin's concerns, Landon drove straight to the mall. He did not need to know what to buy. He was confident that once he reached the children's section, someone would guide him."Sir, if your so

“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

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.
