Semua Bab My Mysterious Husband: Bab 221 - Bab 230

"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

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

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

“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.

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
