Chapter 331

After what just happened, it made sense that the little guy would be scared and worried. Emma knew she had to show him through her actions that everything was fine now—that she was back and everyone was safe. That way, Asher would not be left with any emotional scars.As expected, on the drive back, Emma kept talking to Asher. Before long, he returned to his usual cheerful self, as if nothing had happened. Once they got home, Emma took Asher to play before getting him washed up and settled down for some rest.Meanwhile, Landon was busy making a couple of phone calls to handle the lingering issues. How could those people let trouble get so close to him? What were they even doing?Emma did not bother asking Landon about how he was going to deal with things. That was not her area of expertise, and it would not make any difference even if she asked. Besides, she believed it was better not to know the specifics if Landon had not told her himself.Landon always appeared mature and cons

“We need to make visits and pay our respects,” Landon explained. “In the business world, Christmas is the time to reconnect with people and strengthen relationships.”“Do you need to go?” Emma asked.Landon shook his head. “No, it's not necessary. My reputation isn't great right now, and everyone knows I have a cold and ruthless side. So usually, a simple phone call to wish them a Merry Christmas is enough. As for gifts and such, I have people who handle that for me.”Emma frowned, clearly upset. “They’ve treated you so badly. What’s wrong with you fighting back? How does that make you cold and ruthless?“Letting them walk all over you would be truly foolish!”Seeing Emma stand up for him like that, Landon could not help but reach out and pinch her cheek.Emma gasped, covering her face with her hands and staring at Landon in shock.“Sorry, I couldn't resist,” Landon said apologetically. Although he sounded apologetic, he did not regret it. He just found Emma too adorable to re

Before Emma could say anything, little Asher held up his tiny hand and stopped Landon. "Daddy, we shouldn’t get too much," he said.“Eating too much candy will give us cavities,” Asher reasoned, speaking with all seriousness. “We should buy more after we finish these. If we buy too many, they might expire, and the candy will go bad.”Landon could not help but smile at the little guy, who was so earnest in his logic. He just adored Asher to bits. “Ash, you’re so smart. Okay, I won’t take too much. How about we just get a few, and you can pick it out?“You can pick while I hold the bag,” Landon suggested with a grin, letting his son do the choosing.Asher did not hold back. Carefully, he picked out the flavors he and his mom liked. Then, he asked Landon what flavors he preferred and added a bit of those as well.Landon looked at the candy in the bag. It was only about half a pound, so he glanced at Emma, silently asking if that was enough.Emma smiled and nodded. However much A

They bought quite a few things, mostly items Emma and Asher used to buy. Landon paid close attention, making a mental note of their preferences.“Mommy…” Asher looked up at the kiddie ride in front of them.Emma smiled. “Let’s go, sweetie. We can take a ride on the kiddie car.”She always tried to fulfill Asher’s requests if it was within her ability to do so. Besides, Asher had always been an understanding child. Back when they did not have much money, he would be happy just getting a small taste of his favorite snack. He really had gone through a lot with her.Now, things were different, and she was earning a decent income. Not that her acting gigs paid much—after all, she had only played a minor role in one project so far, and the next one had not even started filming yet, but she had her bakery, which was doing well, so money was not a problem. It was no big deal if Asher wanted to ride the kiddie ride.As they watched Asher enjoy the kiddie ride, Landon turned to Emma and s

Landon was still a little confused. “Why? Isn’t having it at home just fine?“You can play whenever you want,” he continued, “and it’s clean at home.”The more Landon thought about it, the more excited he got. He almost wanted to start making arrangements right away. Emma could not help but give him a playful nudge. “Stop getting carried away with your ideas.”“Huh?” Landon laughed at Emma’s comment. “Stop getting carried away?”“Stop letting your mind run wild,” Emma replied with a smirk. “It’s good for Ash to interact with other kids his age. If he skips normal social interactions now, it could be problematic when he’s older and enters society.”Landon frowned. “What if there are other kids who don’t behave and bully Ash at the playground?”Asher was a great kid, but there would always be unruly children. While Landon could help Asher out if needed, it would not stop Asher from being upset at that moment.“He needs to have good coping mechanisms.” Emma was exasperated with L

“I’ve worked hard and sacrificed so much over the years. In the end, all I’ve gotten is an ungrateful child,” Barbara ranted.Emma had heard this same line from her mother countless times. Whenever Barbara was unhappy, she would use it to make Emma feel guilty, as if she had ruined her mother’s life. However, Emma had come to terms with it and was not going to let herself be manipulated by guilt anymore.“So why don’t you just leave him?” Emma asked, curious. “Is it really because you don’t have anywhere else to go?”“Don’t be ridiculous! I stayed for you. If I’d left, you wouldn’t have a home!” Barbara snapped, her face flushed with anger.“If you like living in a house where you're constantly yelled at and fighting all the time, fine, but I don’t,” Emma said while staring at Barbara. She did not feel anger anymore; she just found it absurd. Barbara’s endless lies seemed to be either her attempt to deceive Emma or to convince herself.“Aren’t you just trying to blame me to cove

Chapter 337

“Mom…”The sound of her son’s voice snapped Emma back to reality. She looked down to see Asher looking up at her with concern. Emma smiled and crouched down to scoop him into her arms. “Ash, are you not interested in the kiddie ride anymore?”“Mommy.” Asher did not fully understand what had happened, but he could tell that his mom was unhappy. When his mother was unhappy, he was not happy either. However, whenever he was sad, his mother would hold him, and he would feel better. Now that his mother seemed upset, he wanted to hold her and make her happy too. Feeling the little guy’s hug warmed Emma’s heart, and she could not help but smile. It also made her wonder why her own mother had to treat her so badly when the bond between a child and their parents was supposed to be the closest in the world. The more Emma tried to understand her mother’s struggles and tried to do right, the more she received nothing but criticism. Even though she had stopped reaching out to her mother,

With the combined effort of the three of them and the housekeeper, they managed to transform the house into a festive, Christmas wonderland in just one day.Emma looked at Asher, sprawled out on the bed and snoring like a little piggy, and almost burst out laughing. She had to hold back her laughter and tiptoed out of the room.She approached Landon in the living room and said, “He’s out like a light. He must be exhausted from all the running around today.” The little guy had been so busy fetching and carrying things that his activity level that day had really exceeded the norm. No wonder he fell asleep before bedtime.“He’s not the only one. I’m exhausted too,” Landon said, stretching his neck and hearing his bones crack. “I haven’t done this much work myself in years.”Back in the old house, they always had staff to handle those things. The setup was even more elaborate than they were here, but Landon never felt any joy from it. For him, Christmas meant even more work. Visiting

“Of course, you’re more than not bad.” Landon held Emma's hand confidently and said, “Think about it. I’ve met all kinds of women, yet I chose to pursue you in the end. Do you really think you’re all that bad?”Emma laughed at his words. “I didn’t realize I was that great. How did I not know?”Landon thought for a moment and said, “You’re being a bit too modest with that virtue of yours.”His serious expression made Emma laugh even more.That Christmas was the most relaxing Emma had ever had. Their chef prepared the Christmas Eve dinner, and the three of them made pierogi together.Asher wanted to help, so Landon eagerly took on the task of teaching him how to make pierogi. Emma, meanwhile, was left exasperated as she watched the two of them and told them to stick to rolling out the dough instead.Landon? Teaching Asher to make pierogi? Emma glanced over at the tray of misshapen pierogi, feeling speechless. Landon had made nearly twenty of them, and while they were firmly seale

“Even if it’s just an audition, and the director picks me for a role, that’s not something I can control. Directors choose actors based on the roles,” Emma explained. She was here to act, not to engage in petty politics. She might have handled things differently in the past, but now, with Landon backing her up, she was not going to let anyone target her unfairly.“Choose actors based on the roles?” Ellen turned red with anger. “Emma, how can you say that without feeling guilty?”Emma shook her head. “I don’t feel guilty at all because the director recognized my acting skills. The only reason you weren’t chosen was that you couldn’t ride a horse. But now that you’re in the cast, why are you hostile towards me?” Emma was confused. “I haven’t done anything to you.”“Why? You’ll find out soon enough. You stood in my way, and now my life is ruined!” Ellen snarled at Emma as if she wanted to eat her aliveEmma was bewildered by her hostility. What had she done?“Ellen, let’s go,” some
