Chapter 251

Landon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Emma had not outright rejected him, which meant there was still hope."How are we different?" Landon asked, earnestly engaging in the conversation with Emma."And don’t say money," Landon added with a playful grin. "That’s too superficial."Emma shook her head, smiling. "Money may be superficial, but it represents a lot. It shows capability—being able to spot opportunities and having the luck and the smarts to capitalize on them. That’s how you make money.""There’s also another possibility that I had a head start and inherited it from my family,” Landon countered with a smile. “It’s not all because of my hard work, but because my family raised me well.""But that’s your family’s legacy," Emma replied naturally. "It shows that your parents, your elders, worked hard. Just like how you're working hard now to provide a good environment for your son, giving him the best education and broadening his horizons. When he grows up, he’ll live bette

At his question, Emma fell silent.Did she like him? Of course, she did. How could she not?It was not just because Landon was so handsome; it was also his kindness and the way he treated her. How could she not like him?However, it all seemed too unbelievable. Why would someone as amazing as him be interested in her?“Do you not like me?” Landon teased, pretending to be serious. “Am I that bad? Is that why you don’t like me even a little?”“No, no, it’s not that…” Emma stammered, suddenly flustered and unsure of how to respond.Landon kept up the act, his face mock-serious. “So, do you like me or not?”Emma quickly glanced at Landon, then turned her gaze to a corner of the room, avoiding his eyes. A wave of heat rushed to her cheeks, making her face feel like it was on fire.Suddenly, she felt warmth around her hand. Landon had taken it into his, holding it gently but firmly. Startled, she tried to pull away, but his grip was just strong enough that she could not break

Emma looked at Landon in surprise. "I thought you might think I was looking down on you because you’ve lost everything."Landon shook his head with a smile. "I’ve known you long enough to know better."If you’d asked me at the very beginning, maybe I would’ve had doubts. But after spending so much time together, how could I fall for you without understanding who you really are?" Landon’s straightforward confession made Emma feel incredibly awkward, or, more accurately, she just did not know how to handle a situation like this.She never believed anyone would genuinely like her. Even when others had shown her kindness before, deep down, she always felt insecure.When it came to matters of the heart, Emma’s instinct was to avoid them.Back in school, she could not even tell when someone had a crush on her. If anyone expressed interest, she just assumed they were joking.To be honest, she was not confident back then. So, now, hearing someone like Landon say he liked her? It felt e

Emma’s words struck Landon like a sharp pain in his chest. “Emma, have you ever thought that maybe after spending more time together, you might realize I’m not the right guy for you and decide to break up first?”“What? No way!” Emma responded, shocked.The words slipped out of her mouth before she even realized it. As soon as she said them, she froze, completely stunned.After a moment, the realization hit her, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Did she just admit to Landon that she was totally into him? This... this was just too... too... embarrassing!Emma awkwardly fidgeted with her hands, her eyes darting around as she desperately searched for a way to defuse the suffocating tension.However, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Landon’s face and was stunned again. Instead of seeing any trace of mockery or smugness in his eyes, she saw... concern.For a moment, Emma forgot all about her nervousness, embarrassment, and shyness. She looked at Landon, complet

Emma paused for a moment but eventually nodded honestly.“You see, there’s really no need to worry,” Landon said with a smile. “Whether a couple stays together has nothing to do with whether they’re in the same line of work.”Emma nodded in agreement, but then... she froze. Were they not just talking about trying out a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? How did Landon jump straight to talking about marriage?Wait... was that not a bit too much, too soon?Emma stared blankly at Landon, feeling like something was off.Landon, looking completely innocent, asked, “What’s wrong?”Emma swallowed and shook her head. “Nothing.”Maybe Landon had said it without thinking. If she brought it up, it would only make things awkward.“Anyway, you should get some rest. If you need anything, just let me know. Whatever I can help with, I will,” Emma said.Landon, seeing Emma’s full support, smiled happily. “Alright.”Emma did not stay longer after that, not wanting to interrupt Landon’s rest.

One could not expect a child to keep studying if the adult was glued to their phone, scrolling endlessly. How can one demand something from their kid that they could not even do themselves?Emma had established a habit of studying with Asher when he was little. Even when she was swamped with work, she always carved out some time to sit down and learn with him.After they finished lunch and Emma got Asher down for his nap, she went online to check the latest news. The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt. The online buzz seemed to have died down, but the harsh comments about Landon were still pouring in.Emma could not take it anymore and quickly closed the webpage. It was just too much for her to handle. She was not built for this kind of pressure.If she felt this awful just reading it, how was Landon, the person at the center of it all, dealing with it? He was not only facing attacks from people he was closest to, but also bearing the brunt of strangers’ cruel gos

"You worked hard to raise me? Did I ask to be born?" Emma was in a terrible mood and did not hold back as she confronted her mother."Why did you bring me into this world? So you could have someone to dump your emotional baggage on? You’re too scared to stand up to others, so you take it all out on me!"If your husband’s irresponsible and doesn’t care, then divorce him. Don’t blame me for staying in a miserable marriage, saying it was for my sake! Your problems are between you adults—why do I have to suffer for them?"You made bad choices. What does that have to do with me? You knew he wasn’t reliable, yet you stayed and had me—why?"Emma was absolutely furious and lashed out. "It’s not like giving birth to me makes you some kind of royalty, where you’re always right!" Emma yelled angrily, "If you’re so upset, take me to court! I won’t shortchange you on your alimony, not a single cent."With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation. Her mother never cared about her feel

Chapter 258

He thought that at where they were now, Emma should at least give him a kiss. It did not even have to be on his lips. His cheeks would do, too.Emma glanced at Landon, holding a piece of meat between his teeth and not moving. She asked with concern, "Is it too hot? Spit it out then!"When she handed it to Landon, he held it with his teeth. If it was so hot that he could feel it even through his teeth…"No," Landon replied, taking a bite and looking at Emma with a complicated expression.Forget it. They had just confessed their feelings, and Emma had just agreed to date him. He could not rush her too much.Under Emma's watchful gaze, Landon slowly ate the crispy meat.Emma asked with anticipation, "Is it good?""Mm." Landon nodded, responding earnestly, "It’s a taste of heaven."Emma chuckled. "You’re just trying to make me happy."Landon usually ate at high-end restaurants. She knew her cooking was nowhere near as good as a top chef's. Landon was just trying to cheer her up.

Landon nodded. “Yeah.”“I knew it! You’re amazing! Of course, nothing would happen,” Emma exclaimed, giving Landon a playful slap on the arm and smiling like a child.“That’s wonderful!” Emma said excitedly. “Once you’ve sorted everything out, let’s go out for a meal to celebrate. My treat!”“You can pick any restaurant.” Emma’s joy was genuine. It radiated from her like a glowing sun, warming Landon.Landon could not help but smile as well and asked, “Emma, haven’t you considered something?”“What?” Emma looked at him curiously, waiting for him to explain.“Well, they were trying to go after me, but I knew I wasn’t going to lose. Many of the weaknesses they saw were actually ones I left intentionally for them to find,” Landon said, studying Emma’s reaction intently.Emma stared at Landon in surprise, then could not help but admire him. “You’re incredible. Was it about using their strength against them or countering their moves?“Wait, no, that’s not right…” Emma excitedly thou
