Chapter 221

The customers in the store glanced at the security footage, noticing how the woman was wandering around, scrutinizing everything with a critical eye. It was clear she was not a typical shopper. Especially at the checkout, her tone was dripping with sarcasm, deliberately picking a fight. It was no wonder she got called out.The funniest part was, she tried to play the victim, claiming the store owner had insulted her. What a joke! The surrounding customers started talking, their voices not even lowered, openly mocking the woman's shameless behavior.The woman, clearly not used to such treatment, pointed at Emma and sneered, "Alright, you win! Just you wait! You'll regret this!"With that, she stormed off, her heels clicking loudly as she left in a huff.A security guard approached and asked Emma if she needed any assistance. However, Emma shook her head. With a smile, she said, "Thank you, but no, it's fine."There was not much one can do with troublemakers like that. Besid

"Everything's going well," Emma said with a smile. "We've had quite a few customers sign up for memberships."We don't have any prepaid cards or anything like that. People just earn points with their purchases, and they can use them for discounts or coupons. There's also a referral bonus when someone they recommend signs up." Emma seemed energized whenever she talked about the shop.Of course, while she spoke, she did not forget to eat.Occasionally, Asher would ask a few questions, and Emma patiently explained everything to her. No matter how silly the question was, Emma always took the time to answer it.Sometimes, when the little one could not understand, Emma would use simple analogies to explain it in a way a child could grasp. Landon watched Emma's patient demeanor, and he could not help but smile. She was so good-natured.After they finished their meal, Ash and Landon thoroughly enjoyed the cake. They both agreed it was delicious.Emma chuckled. "As long as you like it

Chapter 223

"Oh, that," Emma could not help but smile. "It's nothing serious."She then remembered that the mall was part of the Stirling Group and figured Landon must have asked the staff to keep an eye on things for her. Emma felt incredibly touched but did not want to bother him too much."It was just some random person," she said dismissively. "You get all kinds; it's not a big deal."Emma's nonchalant attitude made Landon's heart ache. He said softly, "Next time something like that happens, you call me. I'll take care of it."Emma was stunned, staring at Landon. From his serious expression, she could tell he genuinely wanted to help her with her problems. This shook her deeply.She was at a loss for how to respond. After all, she had always handled issues on her own. As a child, when faced with problems, her first instinct was to turn to her parents. Her dad never got involved, and her mom... always found a way to blame her. In their eyes, every problem was her fault.Over time, E

After her agreement with Landon had expired, Emma hoped that life for her and her son would improve. She could choose a better school for her child and give him more opportunities, ensuring a brighter future. Dreaming about a happy future made Emma feel light and joyful. She was genuinely excited. With a new direction in life, Emma fell asleep soon after, a gentle smile on her lips, even in slumber.The next day, after handling everything at the bakery, Emma got herself ready. Although Landon had said there was no need to dress up, she still wanted to make a good impression when meeting his family. She opted for a neat and clean look rather than heavy makeup.Emma rode her bike to the restaurant, arriving quickly. Following the directions of the security guard, she parked in the designated spot. As she stood outside the private dining room, she took a deep breath before knocking lightly and entering.Upon entering, Emma's heart sank. The woman inside was the same one who h

Landon let out a cold laugh, casting a frosty glance at the woman. "Aunt Mary, I call you 'aunt' out of respect for my mother," he said. "But that doesn't give you the right to act arrogant." His words were a direct slap to the woman's pride.The man sitting beside her, Connor Norman, finally spoke up, his expression dark and displeased. "Landon, what happened to you? You used to be such a respectful young man," he said, frowning at Landon.Mary, seething, continued, "What else could it be? It's all because of that woman he married!" She shot Emma a venomous look. "A divorced woman with a child—what good can come from that?""Shut up!" Landon slammed his hand on the table and stood up, glaring coldly at the woman. Mary’s bravado faltered, and she shrank back in fear. However, Landon did not care what she thought; he was furious. "Insulting my wife is the same as insulting me!"With that, he grabbed Emma's hand, pulling her to her feet, and they stormed out of the room toget

Chapter 226

Mary felt increasingly upset as she spoke, thinking about how Landon was treating them all because of a divorced woman."Let's see how things go," Connor said. "Calling Landon now won't do any good. His mind is all wrapped up in that Emma." Mary sighed heavily, reluctantly nodding in agreement.As they schemed, Emma, the target of their plotting, sat across from Landon, worriedly watching him. Landon handed the menu to the server, and after they left the private room, turned to Emma. "What's wrong?" he asked.Emma frowned, concerned. "Those people are your relatives. Was it okay to speak to them like that?"Landon chuckled. "Sometimes, it's better not to keep in touch with certain relatives.”.Emma's eyes widened before she nodded in understanding. Not all family members are supportive; some only want to take advantage or prioritize their own interests."They were trying to use you to get at me. Today, you helped me a lot," Landon said with a smile. "This gave me the perfect

During their meal, Emma and Landon had a great time.Landon chuckled as he watched Emma, who was rubbing her full stomach with a contented sigh. “Stuffed, are you?”“Yeah,” Emma grimaced slightly, looking at Landon. “I’m full of meat. It’s just so heavy.”Her pitiful expression made Landon burst into laughter. “How are you so cute?”Emma pouted at Landon. “I told you I didn’t want that last bit, but you insisted on making me eat it.”“It was just a tiny piece.” Landon explained, “I didn’t want it to go to waste. And if we boxed it up, we’d be wasting a container.”Even the most eco-friendly takeout boxes were still waste. He would rather not use one if he had a choice.Landon was still amused by her. “Oh, you...”“Wait here,” he said, standing up and heading out.Emma remained in her seat, gently rubbing her stomach. She poked at it and felt how tight it was—so full. Maybe a walk around the store in the afternoon would help. It was hard to feel this uncomfortable.The midda

“Really?” Landon asked, unsure.“Really!” Emma looked up and gave Landon a reproachful glance. Why did he have to keep asking? Was she supposed to admit that she was flustered by how handsome he was? It was too embarrassing!Emma wished she could just disappear into the floor. Of course, at that moment, Landon continued to watch her intently. Even though Emma had her head down, she could still feel his gaze, and it only made her face feel even warmer.Quickly, Emma grabbed the digestive tonic from Landon’s hand, using the act of drinking it to avoid the awkwardness. As she sipped the tonic and then some water, thankfully, the heat in her face began to subside.Seeing that Emma’s face was no longer so red, Landon finally relaxed. Then he paused. Had Emma given him a sharp look just now? This discovery made him quite pleased. He knew Emma’s personality well, and if she was giving him that look, it meant she was getting more comfortable around him. That was a good sign.

Chapter 229

Landon could not help but laugh at Emma's reaction. His heart was warm and content. It felt so good to be cared for. He had a wife who would be angry with him, stand up for him, or scold him.“So, if they try to block your way on your way home, just go ahead and give them a piece of your mind,” Landon said with a smile. “Don’t worry, I will!” Emma’s face was serious and clearly upset.“How are you still smiling?” Emma looked at Landon, unsure of what to say. She said with concern, “Don’t force yourself to smile if you’re not happy.”She understood how Landon felt. It was supposed to be the people closest to him who cared the most, but sometimes they ended up hurting him the most. The worst hurt always came from those closest. Such wounds were the deepest.“I don’t feel anything anymore,” Landon said with a soft laugh. Emma defending him like that was just too cute. Her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel... It was so tempting to pinch.Landon's fingers twitched at

Chapter 230

Is this what it felt like to have a secret crush?Emma could not help but smile inwardly. It was truly wonderful. However, she was not a teenager anymore. She knew that just because she liked someone did not mean she had to have them. Landon was such a great person. He deserved a partner who was a perfect match for him in every way, even if that someone was not her.All she wished for was his happiness. Love, after all, wanted the other person to be happy.With that good feeling in her heart, Emma worked with a smile on her face all afternoon. However, as soon as she finished her shift and handed over the store to the manager, her demeanor changed instantly.Landon had warned her that his aunt and uncle might confront her, so she was fully prepared. As always, Landon’s warnings were spot-on.While Emma was pushing her scooter out of the mall’s underground parking garage and reached the sidewalk, she immediately spotted the two people she dreaded.“Emma, we need to talk to y
