Once the contract was settled, Emma immediately set about getting the business license, buying equipment, hiring staff, and decorating the shop. The whirlwind of activity left her utterly exhausted.“You’ve lost weight recently, haven’t you?” Landon asked with a frown as they were having dinner.“Have I?” Emma touched her face, not really noticing any change.Asher peered at Emma and nodded vigorously. “Yeah, you’ve lost weight!”“Oh? Really?” Emma smiled happily. “Well, that’s good. I don’t need to diet anymore then.”Asher tilted his head, looking puzzled. “What’s dieting, Mommy?”Emma smiled. “Dieting means Mommy wants to fit into smaller clothes, so she eats less and exercises more to make her body smaller.”As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to illustrate what she meant.Asher was still confused. “Why does Mommy want to wear smaller clothes?”“Because a larger curve is better,” Emma said as she stood up to demonstrate what she meant by curves.“See, this is the wa

Landon chuckled softly. Emma shot him a glance and quickly caught on, “You’re teasing me.”“You’re usually high-and-mighty as a boss. Are you just pretending to be humble and poking fun at me?” Emma huffed, clearly annoyed.Landon laughed. “I’m just giving you a heads-up. Being polite is fine, but you still need to have some authority as a boss.“Most people have good intentions but there are those who will take advantage of excessive politeness. If you’re too accommodating to those types, they might end up bullying you,” Landon advised.He knew that Emma would be a very gentle boss, but whether she could manage her employees effectively remained a question. Not everyone was as conscientious as her.Emma nodded. “If they don’t work properly, I’ll handle it.”Landon raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Can you even be strict?”Emma sighed with a touch of sadness. “Mainly, I can’t bear to lose money. If they don’t work well, it’s my money that I lose.” Emma laughed, “It’s one thi

Emma was startled. She stopped and turned. She noticed a missing tile on the ground. If she had stepped on it, she could have easily hurt herself.As she stared at the small pit in the ground, her body went rigid, and her mother's harsh words echoed loudly in her mind. "Why are you walking backward? You should watch where you’re going! What kind of girl does that? What a mess!”"Why are you crying? Serves you right!""Look, when I go out to shop, I want to be happy, not have you adding to my trouble! Got it? Smile!"Even though it had been a long time since she’d heard those harsh words, they haunted her so often that it sometimes left her breathless.“Emma?” said a worried voice as a hand reached out to grasp her shoulders, “What’s wrong, Emma?”The gentle, concerned tone pulled Emma back from the suffocating memories. As the twilight glow surrounded them, Emma saw the worried face of the person who had come to her aid. “…Landon?”“I’m here. What happened?” Landon asked in

Emma noticed the bruises on Dennis’s arm and said, “Mrs. Holt, I’ve just arrived and don’t know what happened yet. Let me get the details first.”“What details do you need? Your son hit Dennis, simple as that! So what are you going to do about it?” Ursula’s anger was palpable as she pointed a finger at Emma. “This matter is far from over!”Ursula’s aggression made Emma’s blood rise. “Look, Mrs. Holt, even the police need to understand the situation before making a decision. You don’t get to dictate what happens.”“How dare you? Are you saying that what your son did to Dennis is justified? With a mother like you, It’s no wonder Asher acted out. What kind of child did you raise?” Ursula sneered at Emma, her tone dripping with sarcasm.“I demand proper compensation or my husband and I won’t let it go!” Ursula threatened as she turned to the teachers and the principal in the office.Emma ignored her and turned to Asher, nestled in her arms. “Asher, tell Mommy, why did you get into a

Emma's heart sank as she hurried inside. Asher was still in there!When she stepped into the room, she saw that Asher was safely in Landon's arms.Then she noticed two unfamiliar adults and another child in the office.Emma had just reviewed the security footage and easily recognized the new child as Robin Carpenter.Robin cowered in Marissa Carpenter’s embrace, while another stranger, presumably Robin’s father, was apologizing profusely to Ursula. "Yes, yes... It’s all Robin’s fault. Please calm down, Mrs. Holt."Emma was taken aback. She stared at Ben Carpenter in disbelief. Robin’s injury seemed more severe compared to Dennis and Asher with cuts and scrapes on both his arms and legs. He had been taken to the infirmary for treatment, so Emma had not seen him earlier. The fact that the Carpenters did not protect their child but instead groveled at Ursula’s feet was shocking. It was a terrible injustice perpetrated against Robin who was made to apologize to his bully. Em
