Chapter 241

Barbara was shaking with anger. "So, this is how you treat your mother, huh?“If you have any guts, why don’t you show them outside? You're just like your father—always taking it out on your own family!” Barbara scolded, her words flowing effortlessly.Emma had heard those same words countless times over the past 20 years of her life. She could recall every shift in tone and every emphasis on each word as if they were etched into her memory.However, this time, something was different. Emma realized her heart no longer hurt and she was not even angry. It was as if, in that instant, she had unlocked a door, freeing herself from a dark, suffocating space where she had been trapped for so long. She felt completely liberated.The suffocating pressure that used to overwhelm her was gone. The fear and uncertainty that once gripped her were no more. For the first time, she looked carefully at her mother, who was yelling at her with all her might.Emma observed every detail—her mother’s f

Emma was feeling pretty drained, and maybe a sip of something could help her relax. Although she felt emotionally relieved, it had taken a lot out of her, leaving her especially tired.She unscrewed the lid of her bottle but then paused in surprise. The rich scent of chocolate milk filled the air, sweet and comforting, instantly lifting her mood.“Chocolate milk?” Emma turned to Landon, delighted.Landon’s lips curved into a smile. “Sweet things make everything better.”Emma had a vague feeling that those words sounded familiar. Had she not said something like that to Landon before? The fact that he remembered her words and then used them to take care of her… It felt wonderful.Without saying anything, Emma quickly lowered her head and took a sip. The sweetness spread through her mouth—it was really sweet.Seeing that Emma seemed to be feeling better, Landon started the car. “Do you want to go to the bakery or head home?”“The bakery,” Emma replied cheerfully. “I feel much bette

Mary smiled confidently. “Of course.“But are you sure about this? Once we do it, there’s no turning back,” she asked, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.Connor responded seriously, “If we don’t get the funding, our company is done for.”“At this point, if we don’t go all in, what are you waiting for?” Connor’s question left Mary in thoughtful silence.With that, they made their decision and began preparing. They had to ensure that their plan would bring Landon down once and for all.While they waited, Emma was on edge every day, worried about what Landon’s relatives were plotting. She was not afraid of them causing trouble at her bakery, but she was deeply concerned they might sabotage Landon’s business.Emma did not fully understand the intricacies of Landon’s business. However, she knew enough to realize that, in the world of business, one small misstep could snowball into disaster, potentially collapsing an entire company.After days of anxiety, one evening after dinner, La

From that day on, Emma had completely come to terms with it all.“For them, kids aren’t people—they’re just tools to demonstrate their parents’ authority,” Emma said with a soft laugh. “Having children is just an investment so that someone’s there to care for them when they’re old. Just don’t expect anything more from them.”Landon frowned deeply, his concern evident.However, Emma just smiled, having made peace with it. “Their emotions, even their entire lives, are so warped. I’ve figured it out. If you don’t expect anything, there’s nothing to be disappointed about.“Look at me now. I’m doing just fine. Once you let go and start loving yourself a little more, everything else falls into place.”Emma’s words stirred something in Landon, leaving him with a mix of emotions.Emma chuckled. “If you really think about it, how many parents out there actually talk to their kids and treat them as friends? Families like that are so rare, and those lucky to have them are even rarer.”Land

The online chatter was heating up, and Emma had not been to the bakery or sent little Asher to preschool for the past few days. Instead of covering up the situation with lies, she chose to explain things carefully to her child.She laid out the facts for Asher, who was just over four years old and did not understand much. When he could not get something, he would ask his mom, and Emma would patiently explain using examples and explanations that Asher could grasp. It took nearly an entire day for her to make everything clear to him.Asher furrowed his little brow and expressed his opinion. “They’re bad!”Emma nodded firmly, “Yes, they’re bad!”“Now that this is all over the internet, a lot of people are also criticizing your father,” Emma said, showing her phone to Asher with the comments displayed.Asher could not read the comments yet, so Emma was not expecting him to. She simply pointed out the high number of comments, explaining, “These are everyone’s opinions.”Asher could

The little one immediately raised his small arms in excitement and cheerfully agreed. “Yes!”“But, Mommy, why do bad people still win even when Dad hasn’t done anything wrong?” The child was puzzled.Emma explained with a smile, “You see, many people online don’t know the whole story and are blaming him because bad people often hide the truth. If he can’t beat them, they might win.“But even if he loses, as long as he doesn’t give up and can pick himself back up, he hasn’t been defeated by the bad guys. That means he’s a hero! Isn’t that right?” Emma asked with a grin while looking at her child.“Yes!” The little one raised his chubby arms and cheered, “Daddy is a hero. He’ll beat them one day!”“Exactly!” Emma high-fived her child. “So let’s patiently wait for him to come back.”Feeling reassured, the little one spent his days playing games and learning with his mother while eagerly awaiting his father to return. A week later, the sound of the front door finally rang through t

Emma followed along, making sure that the little one had tucked himself in and was sleeping soundly before she stepped out.Landon had finished half a sandwich by the time she came in. Watching him devour it made Emma’s heart ache, and it made her wonder what he had been through this entire time. Emma said nothing, just sat quietly beside him, watching him eat.Soon, Landon had finished everything on the plate."Are you full?" Emma asked. "You ate so quickly. If you're still hungry later, I can make you more."Eating too fast could fill the stomach but not make one feel satiated. If he continued eating now, he might end up overeating. That was why Emma told Landon to wait a bit and assess how he felt."I’m full," Landon said with a smile. "I ate something around 6 p.m. at the office."Emma nodded slightly, relieved to know that Landon’s eating habits were still somewhat regular.Landon asked, "While the bakery has been closed, has Ash not been going to preschool too?""Yeah."

“And you know, things are much better now than they were back then. We actually have some extra money," Emma said with a smile and not the slightest bit troubled. She genuinely did not seem to care."Just don’t let it get to you. It’s just a matter of money. Everyone goes through ups and downs. Don’t worry about it. It’s no big deal."Emma’s easygoing attitude made Landon chuckle softly. "Alright. Let’s find a place to live.""Sure thing, I’ve got this covered. I’m experienced with this sort of thing," Emma replied readily, showing no hesitation. "How soon do we need to move out?""In five days," Landon said."Got it." Emma nodded. "And what about your things? Will you have time to pack?"Landon shook his head. "I don’t have much to pack—just a few clothes and my computer.""Alright," Emma said, nodding calmly. "I’ll start house hunting tomorrow. You handle packing and sorting things out. I’ll video call you with options so you can take a look.""Sounds good," Landon agreed.

"Landon is my husband, so if you’re looking for him, you’re looking for me!" Emma declared with fierce determination.As Emma spoke, the elevator doors behind her opened slowly. Landon, standing in the elevator, overheard what she said, and a deep smile spread across his face."Emma, you go on up," Landon said calmly. "I’ll have a word with them."Emma glanced at Landon, then turned to Mary and said, "I’ll have you know that Landon is my husband. If you try to mess with him, you’ll have to deal with me!"You may have money and power, but remember this: the poor have nothing to lose or fear. Push me too far, and I’m capable of anything!" Emma threatened fiercely.Landon could not help but chuckle to himself. He suddenly felt that Emma was quite protective of her man, and now, he was the one being protected by her.After Emma’s warning, she turned to Landon and said softly, “I’ll cook dinner and wait for you to come back.”“Okay,” Landon replied with a smile. He watched Emma ent

The problem was, the way those things were stated made them sound like absolute truth."I don’t believe it!" Emma said firmly. "How could someone who runs a food factory, hires people with disabilities, and helps them become self-sufficient be a bad person?"Landon glanced at Emma and smiled. "Well, I have to admit something. Actually, this idea was inspired by you."Emma looked puzzled. "What does that have to do with anything? You did it, didn’t you?"None of us are born knowing what to do. It’s usually because of someone or something that we get inspired to act."Good deeds are good deeds. Why should we worry about the reasons behind them?"Emma’s words made Landon smile and let out a soft sigh. "Emma, how are you so wonderful?"Emma bit her lip, feeling a little flustered by his praise. "I’m just an ordinary person. Nothing special."She was not used to being complimented like that.Landon laughed lightly and asked, "Maybe this isn’t the best time, but Emma, I want to ask
