My Mysterious Husband Chapter 69
Mr. Karev hung up the phone and politely smiled at Bella, "Miss Bella, I must take my leave."Mr. Karev nodded and promptly left the meeting room. At the same moment, Bella's phone began ringing incessantly. She hesitantly checked the caller ID. Her hands were trembling.Bella did not want to take the call, but she knew she had no choice, "Dad... okay, I'll be right back."Bella's ears nearly went deaf from her father's furious yelling on the phone. She ended the call, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly left Stirling Group’s office.Little did Bellan know, her disheveled appearance caught Landon’s eye. He was leisurely sipping coffee on the roadside.As Landon finished his last sip of coffee and tossed the cup into a nearby trash can, he returned to the building with relaxed steps. Calvin approached him as soon as he entered his office. "I've reviewed the contract with the Mortimers. The terms are quite favorable for our company."And Landon still would not sign it?Landon sat bac

"Mmm." Landon nodded slightly. He was not at the point of openly expressing his emotions.Landon went to his suite to change clothes before returning. Emma had already skillfully served the dishes.After sitting down, Landon glanced at one of the dishes on the table. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. It was evident that the dish had not been freshly prepared but had been reheated instead. "Next time, don't bring home leftover dishes."Emma paused, then immediately looked at Asher beside her. He too appeared puzzled, a helpless and confused look on his face. It made Landon wonder about what was going on.Smiling, Emma took Asher’s hand. "Ash, did Mom tell you before that there are many people in this world, and what one person likes, another may not. The things you like...""...don't necessarily appeal to others," Ash quickly interjected, recovering with a cheerful smile."That's right. You remember," Emma said with a smile. "What others like doesn't mean you have to like too, rig

“Yeah, I’ve got no time for that... Hmm, goodbye.” Emma briskly declined the call and put her phone away.Landon, acting as if nothing had happened, said, “If you're going to the class reunion, I can take care of Ash for you.”“No need,” Emma politely declined, “There's nothing worth celebrating.”Landon glanced at Emma. Was she hiding something by not going to the reunion? Once his suspicion was stirred, Landon could not help but find everything about Emma suspicious.Unaware of Landon's thoughts, Emma enjoyed a cheerful dinner with Asher.Landon, however, could not feel any joy that evening. He found it stifling. He had spent so much time carefully selecting a business partner, only to discover that she was a master of disguise.Emma’s presence proved to him that his judgment of people was very flawed. It reminded him to be more cautious in the future and not to be easily misled by appearances. His background research could use a bit of work too.Emma, on the other hand, h

After the collaboration deal with Stirling Group fell through, Bella could not even go to the company. She had to lay low at home for a while. It was all because of the old-fashioned folks in the company saying that she was not up to the task. It was her dad's company and the old men in the company relied on their seniority to meddle in everything. They thought very highly of themselves. Naturally, she refused to accept it. If it were not for her dad holding her back, she would have gone to the company to give them all a piece of her mind.During her self-imposed house arrest, she had almost gone crazy. When she saw Emma at Little Sunshine Academy, she finally found someone to vent her frustrations on."You can’t keep this job up. If you go to the class reunion, we can brainstorm some alternatives together. Maybe we can help you find a better job," said Bella."No need for that," Emma coldly rejected her. She knew what type of person Bella was."Why not?" Bella asked in moc
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 73
Emma's calm demeanor thoroughly infuriated Bella. Combined with recent work difficulties, Bella abandoned her calm facade and shouted at Emma. "Just admit it! You're jealous that Martin chose to marry me, not you!" Bella scrutinized Emma with disdain from head to toe, her gaze sharp as a blade."Have you ever thought about it? Martin's background is on par with mine. You’re just from a working-class family, and now you’re a small-town commoner who got pregnant outside of wedlock. And you think you are worthy of Martin!“Knowing my daughter’s attending kindergarten here, you eagerly ran here to intercept my husband. Have you no shame?"Bella's words stirred whispers among the other parents who stood nearby. Children attending Little Sunshine Academy usually came from well-off families. Naturally, their parents spoiled them. Hearing Bella's accusations, their brows furrowed, and they began gesturing towards Emma.Emma's brows furrowed in anger. She did not care what Bella sai

“Such fantasies aren’t a problem. She’s just another woman. So play around as much as you want as long as your heart is at home!” Bella said crudely. Not only did the color drain from Martin's face but even the parents around who had thought she made sense earlier now cast disapproving glances at her.It seemed that the woman's words should not be completely trusted. She was a jealous lunatic who had lost her rationality.“Come on, go ahead. You can sleep with my husband. After all, you're used to it…” Breaking free from Martin's grasp, Bella approached Emma, ready to shove her.Emma's eyes turned cold. She was about to retaliate when suddenly a little figure rushed out from the side. Asher collided with Bella’s legs, causing her to stagger and fall backward.“No bullying my mom!” Asher, like a tiny warrior, stretched out his small arms and shielded Emma behind him. He looked like a feral wolf cub with his piercing eyes and cold stare.The kindergarten teacher hurriedly follow

The crowd that had gathered around them had not reacted yet, but Martin had already taken a few punches as he yelped in pain. Each punch hit him hard and caused him excruciating agony."Ah—move, move!" Bella rushed over to pull Landon off Martin. Emma, however, did not give her the chance as she swiftly moved to pull Bella aside. The security guard had hurried over to intervene.Landon did not confront the security guard. Instead, he gave Martin a vicious kick before stepping back. Then, he went over to pat Asher's little head. "Don't be afraid, Daddy's here."Asher, tears streaming down his face, his tiny nose red from crying, looked so small as he stretched out his hand to grasp Emma’s. "I’m not afraid, Mommy."Asher's innocent words instantly broke through Emma's defenses. Her four-year-old son had known how to comfort and protect her. How could anyone think to insult him?Emma lifted Asher and was about to say something but Landon seized the opportunity to speak first. He conf
My Mysterious Husband Chapter 76
"Apologize!" Martin reiterated, his tone unquestionable. Only then did he slowly release his grip on her.Bella felt wronged. She had been Emma's college roommate and had pretended to befriend her while secretly undermining her. However, even with such efforts, Emma was still well-liked during their university days. After their graduation, Bella achieved her desire to marry Martin, succeeded in her career, and surpassed Emma in various aspects. Why should she apologize to Emma now?Martin remained silent as he stared at Bella. Bella understood that if she did not apologize, he would be very angry, and it might even escalate to involve her father.Bella spoke softly, making it difficult for anyone to hear her apology. Landon did not need to intervene as Martin forcefully pushed her and scolded loudly, "Speak up!"Bella's eyes turned red immediately. She glared at Emma with a mixture of pain and anger. "I'm sorry, okay? It's all my fault. I made it up! Happy now?" Her face ha

“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.
