Even if Landon's good opinion of Emma and her son had somewhat diminished, he would never show it. If people could easily discern his thoughts, he would consider himself a failure. A few minutes later, Landon drove into the house compound. Upon entering the gates, Landon noticed the sparkle in Asher's eyes, indicating the excitement the house brought to the little one. Landon took his time as he placed the car keys in the entryway, and observed the mother and son's subsequent actions while changing into his house shoes.With Emma's assistance, Asher put on his slippers. The little guy walked into the house with enthusiasm, looking around excitedly, his big, watery eyes seemed insufficient for taking in everything.Walk? Landon was surprised. Four-year-olds were usually full of energy, running around, especially when they had found something interesting. However, Asher walked steadily instead of running or bouncing around. Landon found it astonishing. "Ash is very well-behaved."Em

Emma took Asher out for pizza and then went to buy some items for the house. The new house was not a particularly warm home because of the atmosphere and decoration, though it was truly beautiful. Once the shopping was done, they returned home with full bags, and Emma and Asher began to decorate.By 9 PM, Emma had successfully put the Asher to bed. She then returned to her bedroom, lay down on the bed, and stretched with a satisfied yawn. The luxurious furnishings were truly something else, especially the comfortable mattress. Not to mention the thermostatic shower head, which was incredibly soothing. There was no need to worry about cold water during Asher’s bath.In the past, when bathing Asher in the rented house, she always had to keep an extra bucket on standby. Turning the shower off and on, the first to come out was always cold water. She would collect this cold water, and store it in a bucket for laundry or the toilet. While saving on the water bill might not make a significa

Emma watched from the side, almost bursting into laughter. Her son was truly impressive to put someone like Landon in such a dilemma. Though she did not know Landon's exact profession, she had a rough idea that he was undoubtedly a high-profile figure. A person who could casually gift multi-million-dollar properties sitting in a bathtub with a little yellow duck floating in the water was such a ridiculous scene to imagine!"Ash, wash your hands. it's time for breakfast," Emma called out, and the little one obediently went to wash his hands.Emma smiled at him. "I've prepared breakfast, Mr. Landon. Care to join us?"Thinking about last night's meal, Landon instinctively agreed, "Sure." Then he asked, "Since you bought them, why didn't you place them in my room yesterday?"Emma paused for a moment. A hint of surprise flickered in her eyes briefly. However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled. "That's your private space, it didn’t feel right to intrude."As Emma explained,

"Why didn't you discuss it with your parents before getting married? Marriage is a lifelong matter. Without consensus from your elders, what will you do if something goes wrong?" Bronson scolded her.Emma was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say. Bronson glanced at the brochures poking out of Emma's backpack. "Are you choosing a kindergarten for the child?""Yes," Emma replied, secretly relieved. She quickly changed the subject to avoid any further discussions regarding her marriage. "Does the person you married live around here?" Bronson asked."Yeah," Emma nodded.Bronson sighed, "Look at you. Are there any hard feelings between you and your mom? Your mom is worried about you. You got married so suddenly. Don’t you think your parents would be very concerned?"Emma clenched her teeth, unwilling to speak because she could not explain herself.Bronson continued to admonish her. "Your mom has put a lot of effort into you since you were a child, sending you to this tutoring

Calvin felt things were not as simple as they seemed, "What if you get too immersed in that family atmosphere?"Getting entangled in a fake relationship with that woman seemed to Calvin like a loss for Landon. "You know, you're a wealthy man now. Who wouldn't want to hook up with you? If they manage to get close to you, they won't have to worry about clothes and food for a lifetime. It's a leap across social classes." Calvin was aware of the prevalent trend of women willing to engage in fake marriages for money. How many of them had any moral principles?"She's not that kind of person!" Landon's face darkened, and his mood shifted. Calvin caught his breath."She's my wife, even if it's for convenience's sake," Landon emphasized. "My judgment isn't that poor to the extent I can't see through people."Regardless of authenticity, she was his wife, and others had no say in it.Calvin quickly raised his hand in surrender Was it enough?Landon was truly frightening in this state.Land
