"It’s the right thing to do, isn’t it?" Emma said with a cheerful smile, not dwelling on the fact that she had helped Brett in the past. There was no need to bring it up.Moreover, when Emma was struggling with the challenges of childbirth and postpartum stress, Brett was a tremendous help. Emma would never forget Brett’s kindness.Knowing Emma's nature, Brett decided not to pursue the matter any further and instead focused on their current topic. "So, tell me about the person you married. What's his story? What does he do for a living? How old is he? And how are you two managing your life? Do you split your expenses equally or do you have other arrangements?""Don't worry. I'm not foolish enough to sell myself just for the sake of settling down." Emma said with a smile.Emma knew that Brett was genuinely concerned for her, and feared that she had ended up at a disadvantage in the arrangement.Emma chuckled and confessed, "He's four years older than me, and he’s turning thirty thi

Emma carefully explained the situation to Brett. "I applied to two public kindergartens. One rejected the application, and the other one we did not pass the interview."Emma explained what her uncle did and her speculation of his involvement. "I can’t be sure but it’s too coincidental.""I’m sure you’re spot on!" Brett was immediately upset. "Your uncle is petty, and I won’t put it past him to do such things."So now what are you going to do?" Brett asked anxiously. "Have you chosen a kindergarten for Ash?""I've chosen one..." Emma said as she explained her decision to Brett. After chatting for a while, Emma felt that they should head home as it was almost bedtime for Ash.At 8:30 PM, Emma and Brett left the restaurant and headed home separately. After Emma arrived home, while Asher was removing his shoes at the entrance, she made a phone call. "Brett, I'm home now. Don't worry, I know... Sure, don't worry."After ending the call, Emma looked up in surprise: "Mr. Landon?"L

Landon stood there with his brows tightly furrowed. When Emma finished putting Asher to sleep and emerged from the room, she was startled at him still standing outside the door.She looked at Landon and hesitated before asking. "Is there something wrong, Mr. Landon? Why are you still standing here?""In the future, you should maintain some distance with people of the opposite sex, and be cautious in your speech," Landon said solemnly.What was Emma saying on the phone just now? When speaking to her friend, Emma sounded cute. How could she speak with such a sweet and enticing voice? "I hope we won't encounter any other problems during our agreement period," Landon said. Landon's voice had turned cold."I don’t think we will, Mr. Landon," Emma said once she realized it was about their agreement. If she was going to pretend to be Landon's wife, she needed to be mindful of her words and actions. But then again, she did not have any friends of the opposite sex... Then it occurred

"Yes, he is," Emma nodded with a smile. Then she arched her eyebrows as she reminded him, "But..?”“But, besides Mommy, I should not trust anyone else! I should listen to you, and if there's anything I need, I should go to you!" Asher crisply asserted.He had not forgotten what Emma had taught him!"Exactly. Fantastic! I’m so glad that you remember that, Ash. This is our little secret so you can't tell anyone, okay?" Emma said with a smile as she affectionately tousled Asher's head before heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.Emma felt that one had to be cautious with people. Many children become victims of people they are familiar with and those who appear friendly are generally anything but. People's hearts are inscrutable so she did not want to take any risks with Asher.A little more caution never hurt anyone.During the day, she took the opportunity between deliveries to visit the reputable kindergarten she had shortlisted to register Asher for an interview. Then sh

Chapter 45

Asher tilted his head, trying hard to recall. His mother seemed to have mentioned the kindergarten to Aunty Brett last night, so he earnestly nodded, "Yes."Landon's eyes darkened suddenly. This Emma...Back then, Landon had assured her that he could help with Asher’s kindergarten application, and she had insisted that she would not trouble him. If she did not want to trouble him, why did she seek help from other men? Did she even remember who her husband was?Could that friend, Brett, match Landon’s capabilities?Landon made a decision, and that evening, after finishing dinner, he went back to his suite and made a phone call. The matter of Asher’s kindergarten application was resolved without Landon personally approaching any of his contacts. His assistant had handled everything.The next day, Landon deliberately left work early and, upon opening the door to his home, overheard Emma excitedly saying, "Ash, you're enrolled in kindergarten!"Landon placed his car keys on a table a

Emma was puzzled as she glanced at Landon. Was everything okay with him? She could not comprehend how the mind of a wealthy person operated."Mr. Landon, it's not that I don't want Ash to attend Little Sunshine Academy, it's just that I can't afford it," Emma patiently explained, considering Landon's role as the financial provider."Little Sunshine Academy offers bilingual education, they have dedicated nutritionists, chefs, and even a psychologist. Not to mention the outstanding facilities they have—it's incredible," Emma said, barely keeping the longing from her voice.She sighed heavily, "But there's only one issue with the place."Landon frowned, "What’s the issue?"Emma shrugged, "It's expensive. Of course, it's not Little Sunshine's problem; it's mine. I don't have the money."Who would not want the best for their child? The issue was, did she deserve it any more than someone else? Probably not."If I arrange for Ash to attend that kindergarten, would you accept my help?

Emma watched as Landon entered the suite. He looked imposing and she was utterly dumbfounded. He was usually self-assured but there was a touch of silliness in his actions that day.Emma dismissed the thought as soon as it came to her. Landon was an elite, and so he could not possibly be acting so foolishly. For someone of her status, she might have misunderstood him.Just then, Emma's phone began to ring frantically. She glanced at the tightly closed door of Landon's suite and retreated to her bedroom before she answered the call.For some reason, she had an intuition that the call would trigger a reaction from Landon. She could neither explain nor shake off the feeling.As the call connected, Emma was bombarded with questions from Brett. "Who was that just now? Your fiancé? He seems quite formidable. So he has sent Ash to Little Sunshine Academy."Hey, why do I feel like he's jealous about something? He said he wanted to treat me to a meal, but it sounded more like he wanted to

"Mmm, okay." Brett understood Emma's temperament well. If Brett did not accept the gift, Emma would feel uneasy about accepting any other favors in the future."Just send over a small some and I'll treat my friend to a meal," Brett said, and immediately her phone beeped.She glanced at it anxiously. "I told you to send something small, why did you send 2,000 bucks? What's going on? Did you recently come into some money with nowhere to spend it?"Emma smiled at Brett's reaction, "It's a private kindergarten. Something like 500 dollars won't cut it."Emma was not naive. Brett had gone out of her way to help, and Emma did not want Brett to feel like she had been taken advantage of."If it's not enough, let me know. I want to make sure it covers the cost properly. Okay, I’ve got to prepare the documents for Ash.""Hey, don't forget, have your husband treat me to dinner tomorrow at noon," Brett said as she quickly recited the restaurant's address. "If you don't bring him, I'll cry."

Chapter 49

Ezra could not possibly question Landon especially if he still wanted to stay in the company.Ezra’s high-paying position at Stirling Group coupled with the company’s stellar reputation allowed him to endure such grievances every month. Ezra was not planning to mention the matter, but Landon brought it up instead.“Why didn't you confirm the time with me?” Landon asked him. “You’re lucky this is a small matter. If it was for something else, something like not confirming the time could cause significant losses to the company. Have you considered that?”Ezra opened his mouth but could not find a reason to refute Landon’s logic. He felt that he may have been too sensitive that morning. Landon had sent a message to scold him not because Landon was harsh or trying to give him a hard time but because it was for Ezra’s own good. If his negligence had caused a major loss to the company, it may not only cost him his job but could also affect his family.Ezra broke into a cold sweat

Chapter 50

Brett felt she had to stand guard for Emma otherwise she could easily be taken advantage of.Emma was too kind, and when pushed too far, she did not know how to fight back. Emma never expected Brett to play such a trick on her, leaving her utterly dumbfounded. After all, her marriage with Landon was a contractual agreement. How could she trouble him to come over for such a matter? Moreover, it was lunchtime. Coming from his company to have a meal and then going back would disrupt his work."What's wrong? Is he treating you badly?" The moment Brett saw Emma hesitating, her expression instantly darkened."No, no!" Emma hurriedly shook her head, her thoughts racing. "I'll message him now. But, you know, he's quite busy with work, and he might not have time to come."She would send the message, and if Landon declined, that would be fine. Someone in his position would be incredibly busy. She was banking on him declining her invitation and not showing up.With that in mind, Emma beg
