Landon could not help but chuckle, his shoulders shaking with amusement. "How can someone be as silly as you?"Emma's cheeks puffed up with indignation. "I'm serious!" she warned, glaring at Landon. Landon reached out and gently poked Emma's inflated cheek. The soft sensation was exactly as he had imagined. Her adorable demeanor had been tempting him for far too long, and today, he finally had the chance to indulge in this small act of affection.Emma was momentarily stunned by his unexpected action. W-what on earth was he doing?"You're willing to go to such lengths for a friend," Landon remarked with a chuckle. "What if your friend isn't worth it?"Emma did not hesitate in her response. "If they're not worth it, then I'll just stop being friends with them. But as long as they were worth it in the past, that's all that matters."Her open-minded answer struck a chord with Landon, giving him a sudden sense of clarity. That was right. Why should he let his grandfather's attitu

"Hmm," Landon drawled, "What's up?"Calvin was on the verge of losing his mind. "What do you mean, 'what's up'? Where have you been? There's a pile of work waiting for you at the office, and you...""Oh, all that stuff… Go find my grandpa or my uncle," Landon interrupted Calvin, languidly looking at the scenic view outside his window. "They'll be running the company from now on. I'm retiring."Calvin choked on his own saliva. "Cough, cough, cough... You— cough... you, you— Cough— What?""My grandpa plans to bring Leto into the company and have me mentor him," After Landon finished his sentence, Calvin immediately understood."Has the old man gone senile?" As Landon's childhood friend, Calvin knew the Stirlings’ situation best.Would this move by Leopold not hurt Landon’s feelings?"What are you going to do?" Calvin, without hesitation, chose to stand by his childhood friend.Landon chuckled softly. "Let them run the company themselves."Calvin burst out laughing. "Got it. You

The silence on the other end of the line was deafening. Leopold scoffed. Now Landon knew what fear was."We're family," Leopold began earnestly. "Your uncle has a temper, you know that. He's always been like that. Your parents' accident was a complete tragedy, and your uncle didn't mean for it to happen. You... Hello?"Leopold trailed off, suddenly realizing his phone had been disconnected long ago. Landon had dared to hang up on him?Furious, Leopold was about to call back when he stopped himself, his eyes narrowing in anger.Landon wanted to be tough? He would show him, then. Without the Stirling Group backing him up, what did Landon have to be proud of?Leopold promptly called a meeting, announcing that he would be handling all company matters from now on.The company's board members were stunned and voiced their disapproval. However, Leopold was adamant.The board members, of course, would not agree without Landon's consent. Together with Landon's shares, they could outv

"Oh my, you two are still so affectionate, even with a child so big! It's really enviable," a colleague laughed heartily. "I'm off now. See you tomorrow.""See you tomorrow," Emma greeted her colleague with a smile and rode her bike home.As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by an enticing aroma."Did you order takeout?" Emma asked casually, placing her keys in the entranceway."Mommy!" Asher came over happily. He had his hands behind his back, smiling so wide his mouth could not close. "Daddy bought yummy food! It's so good!"Emma raised an eyebrow, teasing her son, "How do you know it's good? Did you sneak a taste?"Asher, caught red-handed, pursed his lips. "Daddy asked me to try it."Once he finished speaking, he remembered what his mother had said and bravely took responsibility. "I wanted to try it too."He could not blame his dad.Emma smiled, "So, is it good?"Asher stole a glance at his mother's face. Seeing that she was not angry, he quickly said, "You’ll

Emma's voice faltered, a hint of embarrassment coloring her lips as she pursed them. "If it's just for ordinary meals, I should have enough money to cover it.”"But if you want to maintain your previous standard of living... I'm afraid I can't afford that," Emma confessed honestly, unashamed about her modest earnings.Her awkwardness stemmed solely from the stark contrast between her financial situation and Landon's wealth.Suggesting she could support him felt like a presumptuous gesture.Yet, it was her genuine intention.As a successful businessman accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, Landon's sudden unemployment would undoubtedly be a jarring experience.He might even find it difficult to seek help, which was why Emma took the initiative to broach the subject, sparing him the embarrassment."Besides, I believe this unemployment is just temporary. You'll find a new job in no time," Emma encouraged Landon. "You're the best!""You're not working at your old company anymore, so

"Apart from the basic cost of living, the most crucial factor is the risk," Emma explained, pointing to herself. "I have to work hard every day to earn money, and I'm considered fortunate compared to those in worse situations."Rent, food... Even the bare necessities drain us of all our energy. If we're lucky enough to have some savings, we wouldn't risk it all on investments. We can't afford to lose."Emma's smile was serene, yet it struck Landon as strangely poignant. "By keeping our savings untouched, we can use them for emergencies in the future. But if an investment fails, it could ruin our entire livelihood.""We have no safety net." Emma sighed softly.Landon let out a breath, his chest feeling constricted. "You're right. I've been taking things for granted."He had never considered the lives of ordinary people simply because his own life had been anything but ordinary since the day he was born.Emma looked at Landon with surprise, her expression prompting him to ask, "Why

"What?" Emma's eyes widened in surprise. She quickly waved her hands in refusal. "No, no, there's no need for that."Her family situation was a complete mess. She would not even let her own son, let alone an outsider like Landon, get involved in their affairs.She could handle her own suffering. Why drag innocent people into it?"My mother... is just like that," Emma pursed her lips, trying to sound nonchalant. "I can handle it.""Do you want to resolve this once and for all?" Landon asked.Emma's eyes lit up. Of course, she did!However, the question was... how was that possible?They were bound by blood, a tie that could not be severed."It's okay. Don't worry about it," Emma said, her initial excitement replaced by a smile of rejection.After all, it was not like anyone could really solve a family dispute.What could Landon possibly do?These kinds of family matters were always complicated and messy. There was no clean solution."It's not a bother," Landon replied with a

It was not like she wanted to be born into that family, either. Emma's heart ached the more she thought about it. The guilt and frustration gnawed at her, threatening to spill over.Landon pretended not to notice her reddened eyes, knowing that any words of comfort would only make her feel worse. Silence, in this case, was the most eloquent expression of support."It's just a small matter," he reassured her with a gentle smile. "I'll handle it. You go check on Ash."Emma nodded silently and retreated to their suite.Landon watched her leave, a sigh escaping his lips. He could not bear to see Emma trapped in the suffocating grip of her family. She deserved a life of freedom and fulfillment.For him, resolving her family's issues was a mere inconvenience, yet it held the potential to liberate Emma. So why would he not do it?Landon did not give their upcoming visit to Emma's family a second thought. He returned to his suite, glancing at his phone. A missed call from Calvin caug

Calvin could not contain his laughter. He knew Landon was not one to take things lying down."I don't know why they insist on provoking you," Calvin sighed, shaking his head. "I really admire their audacity."Landon's eyes narrowed. "Maybe it's because I've been too nice to them."Calvin fell silent for a moment before sighing softly. "They're just taking advantage of their relationship with you to be completely reckless."When dealing with outsiders, Landon was ruthless and unforgiving.However, with the Stirlings, he still showed some consideration for their kinship.This had given his grandfather the false impression that Landon did not really mind his parents' car accident.Leopold probably thought Landon had gotten over the trauma.Landon let out a light chuckle. "They'll realize how wrong they've been."Calvin quipped, "I'm looking forward to seeing this unfold. Honestly, some things have been long overdue for a clean up."Landon agreed with Calvin. "This time, I have t

As they entered the living room, Emma's uncle Bronson was sitting on the couch. His presence was never a good sign."Where's Dad?" Emma inquired.Her question seemed to open a floodgate of complaints from Barbara. "What could he possibly be doing? He doesn't do anything around the house. All he cares about is his tinkering. “He's off somewhere again, wasting his time all day long and not earning a penny, leaving me to do everything."Emma listened to her mother's tirade and asked, "Then why don't you stop cooking for him and doing his laundry?""Oh, you can't be so selfish," Barbara retorted without hesitation. "If I don't cook for him, he'll eat junk, get sick, and then it'll be my problem. And if I don't do his laundry, those clothes will just pile up."Emma glanced at Landon. See? This was her family's typical scene.Landon nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. Emma's mother was simply asking for trouble."You’re another one. At your age, you still don't know how
