Emma smiled. "Go ahead and handle your business, Mr. Landon. I'm off to work too." She had to take orders and run errands for food delivery, earning a bit more whenever possible. Moreover, she was in a great mood. She had his backing now! Though his support was limited to the duration of their collaboration, and she made sure not to trouble Landon unnecessarily, the feeling of having someone who would protect and stand up for her made her feel good.Emma cheerfully hopped onto her electric scooter and rode away. Landon stood by his car, completely bewildered by Emma's reaction, taking a while to grasp it fully. When he finally did, he laughed. How had Emma lived to her age while being so incredibly naive?She had no idea that just a few moments ago, he had thought the worst of her and even went as far as devising a plan on how to deal with her. And yet, here she was thanking him for standing up for her.Landon's eyes darkened and he started to question the authenticity of ever

Emma smiled, "You're so lucky! Your son and daughter-in-law are very filial. Pressure at work nowadays can be terrible but instead of staying out to wind down, they seem to prefer to go home. Like they don’t want you to worry. I think that's their way of showing concern for you."I know very well that issues at work can be complicated. Even if they tell you about it, all you can do is worry alongside them, and they don't want you to feel that way," Emma explained.Jemima’s mood brightened at her words. "You're right, my dear. Work can be so troublesome. At my age, I can’t relate to those things anymore."But you’re right. My son and daughter-in-law are filial. Look, they bought me this dress. It’s not silk or anything. Oh, I don't know exactly what it is! Anyway, it cost several hundred dollars!" The elderly woman tugged at her dress. "You see, I'm an old woman. Why would I wear such an expensive dress in this heat? It's a waste of money!""Oh, that was very thoughtful of them! I

Chapter 33

She was quietly waiting for the notification to come in at any time. It felt like waiting for the results of a college entrance examination. Back then, even when she gave birth to Asher, she had not felt as nervous. As a parent, she felt that she could not be at ease until everything was settled."What's wrong with you?" Landon asked as he looked at Emma, "There's nothing left on your plate."She had been absentmindedly poking at the remnants on her plate."Oh? Right!" Emma finally came to her senses and smiled awkwardly. "I'm waiting for the kindergarten interview notification. It's just been two days. The result of Ash's enrollment review should be out soon."Landon then remembered that Emma had urgently sought marriage just for her son's nursery registration."Why didn't you tell me about Ash going to kindergarten? Which one will he be attending?" Landon asked.For Landon, it was just a matter of speaking to a few people. Emma waved her hand, "No need to do anything, Mr. Lan

On the day of the interview, Emma led her son to the entrance of the kindergarten. She crouched down, straightened Asher's clothes, and smoothed out the wrinkles. "Ash, are you ready?"Asher clenched his small fists and nodded enthusiastically, "I’m ready!""Then let's go!" Emma smiled. "This is one of the kindergartens. If this one doesn't work out, we can choose another. So no need to be nervous and just do your best."The notification from the other kindergarten was still pending, but if the public kindergarten did not work out, there was always the private one as a backup. She did not want to put too much pressure on her son. Financial concerns about private education were her burden, not something a little child should worry about."Yeah." Asher pursed his little mouth and said in a childish voice, "Mom, I'm not nervous."Emma smiled and ruffled his head. Then she stood up and took his chubby little hand as they entered the kindergarten.Many children and parents were waiting

The question seemed rather pointed.However, it was an unavoidable issue.In kindergarten with little children, it was often hard to prevent such incidents.The two teachers next to Jared also looked at Emma curiously, wanting to know her answer.Emma smiled and said, "If the other child didn't do it on purpose, Asher would tell them that hitting someone is wrong. Just an apology from the other child would be enough.""If, however, the other child hits Asher again, my son would hit back!" Emma said without any hesitation.The two teachers next to Jared frowned slightly. They did not want to see children fighting in the kindergarten.Jared was more forthright with his disapproval. "Actually, Asher can inform the teacher, and the teacher can manage the situation."Emma stared into Jared's eyes and asked, "What happens next?"Jared was at a loss. "What do you mean, 'What happens next'?"Emma did not press him and continued, "The teacher's solution is either to criticize the chil

With a strong foundation, it would not be too difficult for Asher to attend a good elementary school. If he learned well in kindergarten, his path would be a lot smoother. With kindergarten enrollment and interviews to conduct, Jared Blithe, who worked as a kindergarten teacher, was quite busy. When he returned home, it was already dinner time. Instead of eating first, he made an important phone call. "Hello, Bronson... Yes, today's interview. Don't worry; I managed to reject Asher. No problem, no problem. You helped me before so it's only fair. Let's meet up for a drink when you have time." After hanging up, someone slapped Jared hard on the back. It was Martha, his wife. "Are you crazy? The child is going to kindergarten, and just based on what Bronson said, you’d deny the boy a place? Do you know that a child's schooling is of utmost importance to parents?" "Let me finish before you get angry,” Jared pleaded."Speak, then!" said Martha as she glared at Jared with di

Emma had spent all day worrying before she received a call from Barbara. She was already extremely irritated, so she did not feel like answering Barbara’s call. However, Barbara was persistent and kept calling. Emma had to find a quiet place before reluctantly answering the call. As soon as the call connected, Barbara's angry voice echoed through the speaker, causing Emma to flinch in pain."Are you crazy? Why didn’t you answer? What's the matter with you? Do you want to cut ties with me so you pretend you don't know me?" Barbara's accusations poured out of her without a second thought.Emma, not wanting to endure the verbal assault, interrupted her mother bluntly, "Mom, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy with deliveries.""You're heartless," Barbara said, displeased at being interrupted. "I wanted to ask you if Asher’s kindergarten situation is settled?"Emma instinctively replied, "Not yet.""Hmph, I knew you hadn't settled it. I told you to let your uncl

Chapter 38

Emma knew Asher well. Under normal circumstances, he would never leave the suite and would always stay within the range of the camera. That was the unspoken understanding between them.So, there was only one possibility: Landon had entered their suite on his own. She was confident that Asher would not cause trouble for Landon. She could not bring herself to tell her son not to bother Landon. Ash had not done anything wrong, and she certainly could not scold her son without cause. As for asking Ash to keep an eye out for Landon, well, the entire house belonged to Landon. There was no need for Ash to do such a thing.Emma regretted her lack of worldly experience. She felt awkward and had no idea what to say."I've got some free time. Let Ash keep me company," Landon's words alleviated Emma's embarrassment.Emma immediately felt grateful. "Sure…that sounds good.""Ash, Mommy has something to attend to. You and Mr. Landon, look out for each other, okay?" Emma seized the opening

In the afternoon, after completing her errands, Emma went straight home. When she reached, she changed her clothes and washed her hands before looking in on Asher. After exchanging a few words with him, she hurried to the kitchen to cook.Landon heard the commotion and emerged from his suite. He walked to the kitchen door and watched Emma bustling inside. The meat soup in the pot was bubbling enticingly, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma."Beef soup?" Landon asked curiously.Emma smiled as she covered the pot. "No, it's beef noodles.""I'll take Ash out for a while later. An old friend from out of town is back and invited me for dinner," Emma said, grabbing some noodles from the side and tossing them into the pot."You won't be eating at home tonight?""No," Emma replied. She added some vegetables into the pot. "You can wash your hands and have a seat. The noodles are ready."With a smile on his lips, Landon did as she said.She was not eating at home that evening, yet

Chapter 40

In response to Brett's words, Emma just smiled, "You're just teasing me!" Emma never thought of herself as beautiful. She was just an ordinary person. Brett furrowed his brows as she studied Emma's reaction. "It's all because of your mom! She has made you feel so inferior. Emma, you have to be more confident. You're beautiful!""Okay, okay... I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful," Emma conceded, not wanting to argue with Brett. She decided to change the topic, "Don't argue with me over this but this meal’s on me.""Oh my! You invite me out, and you're paying? Don't you know my family runs a restaurant?" Brett said. Emma grinned. "Unfortunately, this restaurant isn't yours. I'm treating you to dinner and that’s final. Or I'll be upset and when you invite me out next, I won’t say yes!”"Alright, alright... it’s your treat then! I'm happy if you're happy. I should take advantage of this," Brett said as she took the menu and flipped through it. "I want to see what's the most expensive mea
