Emma was speechless. "Why would you test me?"What value did she have that made him want to test her?“Think about it,” Landon began, “if I wanted to start a relationship with you, I would test whether you were worth my sincere commitment.”Emma frowned and thought for a moment. "I hadn’t really thought about it. Some people might find that uncomfortable. But I guess I did not think much of it,” Emma admitted. “Besides, it’s not like you could guarantee that you would win. And even if you lost, I don’t think you’d be defeated by it.“If we both work hard, we can still live a good life.”Landon agreed with Emma. "Yes, we can live a good life together. No matter what we face in the future, we can face it together."Emma felt a jolt in her heart. She looked up and stared at Landon.His words touched her.She imagined the two of them facing up to everything together.It was the kind of family she had always wanted.“Why are you crying?” Landon’s voice brought Emma back to reali

Emma needed to check the situation online first to ensure that everything was alright so that Asher would not encounter any trouble at kindergarten.To Emma’s surprise, the online narrative had completely shifted overnight.Landon had released a slew of evidence, exposing the actions of Leopold and the Normans within Stirling Group, as well as proof of their embezzlement.After Landon’s parents’ accident years ago, The Norman family had quickly taken advantage of their collaboration with Stirling Group, only to sever all ties with the company soon after.For years, the Norman family had had no connection with Landon or Stirling Group.Now, with the family’s business facing a severe financial crisis and in desperate need of an influx of funds, it only highlighted their greed and shamelessness.Even those who had testified in favor of Leopold and the Norman family were exposed for receiving suspicious sums of money.If that was not bribery, then what was it?Moreover, the account

Emma had a good conversation with Asher about what had happened online, using the situation as a teaching moment. The event had indirectly impacted Asher, so he could relate to it on a personal level.Though his understanding was limited, Emma tried to teach him as much as she could. She did not expect Asher to reach great heights in life but hoped he would grow up to be a responsible, optimistic, and cheerful person.After lunch, Emma had just lulled Asher to sleep when she received a call from Landon. "…Okay, I understand. I’ll look for it."Emma quickly headed to Landon’s suite and searched the spot he had mentioned. "I see it. It’s a blue folder… Should I open it? Alright.“The first page says something about cultural projects… Is that it?” Emma read only the large letters at the top, not bothering with the rest.Since it was a Stirling Group document, she was careful not to pry into any confidential information.“Okay, I’ll bring it to you right away.” After confirming it

Emma had carefully chosen a sealed plastic case that was both waterproof and designed to keep the documents secure. Even if something unexpected happened, the documents in the folder would remain intact.She felt quite clever for thinking of that.Suddenly, she stumbled as Landon pulled her forward.“What are you doing?” Emma lightly tapped Landon, barely managing to keep her balance. If she had not, she would have ended up in Landon’s arms.The entrance of the company was bustling with people. What would it look like to them?“Come with me to the office infirmary,” Landon said. “You need to get that wound treated.”Landon’s gaze fixed intently on the abrasions on Emma’s palm, where blood and dirt had mingled, making the sight particularly distressing. His concern for her was palpable.Emma glanced at her hand and smiled, casually brushing it off. “It’s fine. I’ll just wash it when I get home, and then…”Landon’s face darkened immediately. Without a word, he pulled Emma along

Landon’s private elevator arrived, and he guided Emma inside. He was so careful to avoid touching her injured area that it only made Emma’s tears flow uncontrollably.Her reaction deeply unsettled Landon. He saw the injury on her palm and noticed that her pants were covered in dirt, but he had no idea how badly she might be hurt under her clothes.He released her hand and reached for her neck and knees.Emma jumped. “What are you doing?”‘Is he trying to carry me?’ she wondered to herself.“Are you injured anywhere else?” Landon’s brows furrowed in concern. “We need to get you to the infirmary right away. I’ll call an ambulance.”Emma was at a loss for words.Landon, oh Landon. She did not know how to respond, so she ended up laughing instead.Her laughter confused Landon even more. His puzzled expression only made Emma laugh harder.For such a serious man to appear so endearingly concerned was heartwarming. She felt incredibly happy and content, though she was not quite s

Dr. Chase was eager to assure Landon that he was a capable employee.“Treat the injury,” Landon instructed Dr. Chase. “And be gentle,” he added.Dr. Chase immediately understood that the patient in front of him was of significant importance to Landon.As Emma sat down, she turned to Landon and assured him, “I’ll be fine. Go ahead and attend your meeting.”Landon remained still and silent.Emma looked at his tense, handsome face and felt a mix of affection and amusement. Sometimes, he was as stubborn as Asher.“Be good now…” Emma drawled softly, trying to persuade him.The method worked well with Asher, and she was curious to see if it would work on Landon too.After all, Asher never could resist whenever she pouted at him.Without realizing it, she had used the same tone with Landon. Then it dawned on her that it may have been slightly inappropriate.Emma was about to find a way to recover, but to her surprise, she noticed a faint blush creep up Landon’s ears. Then he c

Emma had no idea of the impact she had left on Dr. Chase. After delivering the documents, she felt lighthearted as she headed home. In the afternoon she received a call and, after a while, responded with a smile, “Yes, I understand.”As she hung up the phone, Emma saw Asher gazing up at her. She smiled and patted his cheek, “Daddy said he’ll get dinner tonight, so we don’t have to cook. How about we play some games instead?”Asher’s eyes lit up instantly, “Yes!”Emma laughed and then patted Asher’s arm, “Go get your toys.”Asher eagerly dashed off to fetch his toys, ready to play with Emma. They spent the next half-hour playing energetically. They were on a thick play mat, so even with all the noise, it did not disturb anyone downstairs.No matter how they played, they made sure not to inconvenience anyone else.“Did you have fun?” Emma asked, laughing as she wiped the sweat off Asher's forehead with a towel. “Here, dry yourself off so you don’t catch a cold.”“So much fun

Landon’s smile vanished when he heard the washing machine. Emma was confused. She did not understand why doing the laundry was an issue.“Do you have clothes to wash too?” Emma asked, puzzled.Landon narrowed his eyes at Emma and said, “Come here. I need to talk to you.”Turning to Asher with a smile, Landon said, “Asher, go wash your hands. We’ll eat soon.”“Okay,” Asher said, cheerfully unaware of the tension between Emma and Landon.Emma followed Landon to his suite, still confused. Once inside, Landon’s expression darkened. He was noticeably irritated. “Why are you doing the laundry? Aren’t you injured? You should not have any contact with water.“I bought dinner so you wouldn’t have to do anything,” Landon continued, growing more frustrated. How could she be so careless about her own well-being?Emma looked at Landon’s scowling face and smiled. His concern made her feel unreasonably happy. “Are you worried about me?”Landon huffed in annoyance, refusing to respond.

"Okay," Landon said, finally satisfied. "You go ahead first. I'll join you for dinner after I change."Emma agreed and promptly left the room. She took out the food Landon had packed. When she spotted the cutleries, she knew how serious he was about not doing any work that evening.Emma laughed quietly as she unpacked the meal. It was just a minor injury, yet it was being treated with such seriousness. She felt an odd sense of fulfillment at Landon’s concern."Daddy’s really amazing," Emma said softly to Asher. "Look, I accidentally hurt my hand today, and Daddy packed up dinner to make sure my hands won’t get wet."Asher looked up at Emma with wide, watery eyes and nodded vigorously, "Daddy is so good."Emma smiled. She was not the type to manipulate Asher’s relationship with Landon. Instead, she wanted them to get to know each other organically and discover each other’s strengths in the process. She knew Landon would notice Asher’s qualities on his own. As for Landon

Just then the door to the suite opened. Landon crouched down and smiled. "What do you need from Daddy, little buddy?""Help me take a bath, Daddy. Mommy hurt her hand," Asher pleaded.Emma’s eyes widened in shock. What was Asher thinking?“He’s just being concerned for me. It’s nothing serious—just a small scrape,” Emma quickly explained to Landon. She did not want Landon to think she was pushing her responsibility onto him just because they had a contractual arrangement. Their relationship was not at such an intimate level yet.Landon, however, simply picked up Asher and said, “Get me the things for his bath.” With that, he carried Asher into the bathroom.Emma was left standing there in stunned silence. Was he really just going to walk away like that?“But you don’t know how to bathe a child,” Emma said with concern.“I do,” Landon said with a smile as he turned to Emma. “And besides, Asher will cooperate with me, won’t you, buddy?”Asher nodded vigorously. “Yes!”Emma w
