My Mysterious Husband Chapter 85
Landon held Asher in one arm and embraced Emma with the other then casually looked at Bella "What's wrong if my wife's hard-earned child bears her surname?""That’s absurd! Which child doesn't take the father's surname?" Bella rejected his logic."The law allows children to take either the father's or mother's surname." Landon raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you find the law absurd?"Bella hastily responded, "So you’re okay with him not taking your surname?""Whether he takes my surname or not, he is my biological son. Heritage is not determined by a surname," Landon chuckled and said, "According to your logic, with your daughter taking your husband's surname, his family name would end with her, would it not?"Landon was adept at defending his point. In a single statement, he had hit Bella's soft spot as she had always desired a son.Emma, now recovered, leaned against Landon and sneered, "Just because your husband doesn't treat you well, do you think everyone shares your experi

Otherwise, Bella’s daughter would have been in the same space as their child. The parents worried about their child being negatively influenced.Emma was feeling quite pleased at the moment. Back in college, the strange glances, the whispers, and Bella’s backstabbing drove her crazy every minute.Fighting back felt so exhilarating."Come on, Ash, let's sit here." Landon opened the car door and helped Asher settle into the booster seat. Emma glanced sideways at Landon and watched as he carefully fastened Ash's seatbelt. She breathed a sigh at the sight.Anyone else might have lunged at him if offered a marriage agreement like theirs. Emma chuckled at the thought. If he had some ulterior motive, Landon would not have agreed to a contractual marriage.Asher sat obediently in the booster seat, feeling incredibly curious. He had never experienced this before. Emma watched as Landon affectionately patted his head. Asher smiled at Landon and said, "Thank you, Daddy."Emma felt sligh

Bella had been humiliated. She did not dare tell Martin about the incident. He had warned her not to provoke Emma. Yet she could not swallow the humiliation. So, she had purposely gone to Little Sunshine Academy again, but it ended in such a disgraceful manner that it made her nauseated.Yet, she was not ready to give up. She could not believe that Emma had found such a good husband. If Emma's life was genuinely that great, why had she not kept in touch with her classmates for so many years?As Bella was scheming to set a trap for Emma, Landon had obtained detailed information about Emma after three days. The first thing he checked was Emma's family situation, and the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.Emma's father was practically useless. He was unemployed while claiming to be a cultured person. He spent his days on beadwork, painting, carving gourds, and crafting various knick-knacks. The burden of supporting the family fell squarely on Barbara’s shoulders.Barbar

Suddenly, a ringing interrupted Landon's reverie. He glanced at his phone, and the caller ID made him exhale heavily. Landon answered the call, "Grandpa.""Landon, how about coming home for dinner tonight? It's been a long time since you visited me," Leopold said. Landon replied, "Sure.""You're coming back?" Leopold’s voice noticeably brightened, and he quickly continued, "I'll have the chef prepare your favorite dishes. What time will you be home? Eight?""Six o'clock," Landon stated.Leopold hesitated for a moment, "Alright, six o'clock. I will be waiting for you at home."After hanging up, Leopold immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare Landon's favorite dishes and moved up the dinner time. At six o'clock, the sound of a car echoed in the courtyard.Leopold happily walked to the door and watched as his grandson got out of the car. Leopold had not seen Landon for a long time. "Grandpa," Landon raised an eyebrow at the sight of his grandfather waiting at the door, "

Leopold could tell whether Landon's affection was genuine or fake.Why would Landon like a bastard?Leopold could not understand."Landon..." Before Leopold could finish his sentence, he heard the housestaff greet someone. Landon's expression suddenly changed as he looked at the door.Leopold's heart sank when he saw Landon's expression. Something was wrong."Grandpa, Landon, you're here too." As soon as Leto Stirling entered, Landon rushed towards him.Without any time to react, Leto felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground. Landon took the opportunity to kick him fiercely."Landon!" Leopold hurriedly called the household staff, "Quick, pull him away!"The household staff rushed over to pull Landon away, but it was not necessary. Before they arrived, after giving Leto two more kicks, Landon took a few steps back, straightened his clothes, and instantly returned to being himself as if he had not just been kicking someone.Landon had composed himself, but Leto was almost

"Shut up," Leopold said as he glared at Leto.With Leto's interference, Leopold did not have the chance to discuss the matter with that woman with Landon. He needed to find an opportunity to separate Landon from her quickly otherwise, Landon would be ruined.As Landon drove home he was filled with anger. Leto had shown up and provided the perfect target for Landon's pent-up frustration. If he had not given Leto a good beating that day, it would be a disservice to what he had done to Emma five years ago.Landon had not anticipated that the time and place of his accident five years ago would perfectly align with Emma's. When he saw the information, he was dumbfounded. Back then, Leto had deleted all the hotel surveillance to plot against him, making it impossible now to find the person who harmed Emma. Landon felt he had let Leto off too lightly.Thinking about Emma growing up in a toxic environment on top of experiencing such an incident, and then enduring her mother's insults

Emma listened to what Celine Applegate had to say before she replied, "I won't go; I don't have the time."There's nothing special about the gathering. I don't have much connection with those people," Emma's expression had turned cold, her attention solely on the phone. She was unaware that Landon had walked into the kitchen when he heard her answer the call.He listened attentively."Yes, you and I are good friends. If we want to meet, we can arrange it privately without the need for a class reunion," Emma's furrowed brows showed her discomfort with the conversation.Landon frowned as he listened. Emma was uncomfortable, and the words from the caller were distressing her.An unnamed anger brewed within Landon. Was it that hard to end the call if she felt uneasy? Did she not know how to refuse someone?The question flashed through his mind, bringing back the various incidents from Emma's childhood outlined in the documents.He had felt suffocated just reading them and yet he kne

"Don't worry, we will definitely be there." Landon said decisively. Emma's eyes widened suddenly as she watched Landon end the call. She did not even have a chance to intervene.As he handed the phone back to Emma, Landon said simply, "We'll go together to the reunion.""I don't want to go," Emma insisted.Her college years were like a nightmare, and those people from her past had twisted into various terrifying and grotesque shapes in her memory. She did not want to face them.Landon insisted, "If you don't go, they will always use you as a topic of discussion."Emma avoided Landon's gaze. "They can talk all they want. If I don't meet them, I won't hear it."Landon's eyes darkened, "Why let them talk freely? This time, not only do you have to go to the reunion, but you also have to go in style, let them know how wrong they were back then.""I'm not going!" Emma resisted with determination."You will attend it!" Landon said firmly, "What are you afraid of?""I..." Emma had s

“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.
