Semua Bab My Mysterious Husband: Bab 231 - Bab 240

"What are you grinning about?" Landon asked curiously as he watched Emma. She had been smiling since she walked through the door.She had not laughed out loud, but the corners of her mouth had been twitching the entire time. She looked adorably silly, like a little kitten who had just enjoyed a delicious treat."Seeing you two handsome guys makes me happy!" Emma beamed. "I’m really lucky to have such eye candy."Asher had understood what Emma had said"Mommy is pretty!" he immediately replied.Landon had shut his mouth at Asher’s words.Great. Asher beat him to it.‘Couldn’t you have left that to me, little guy?’ Landon thought.Emma was Asher’s mom, but she had not fully accepted Landon as her husband in her heart yet so should not such a good chance to impress her be his?However, he was not going to give up so easily!He shifted his gaze to the items in Emma’s hands. "Did the shop develop new products again?""No," Emma said with a smile. "I brought these cakes back for

"How is that our problem?" Mary retorted. "It was Leopold who was unreasonable when he failed to manage Anthony. We were just preparing in advance to avoid being sabotaged by the Stirling family. What's wrong with that?""Landon should have understood our position," Mary continued to fume. "If the Stirlings had really abandoned him wouldn’t we have helped him?""Do we have to wait until our family is dragged down and left with nothing before we’re satisfied? Landon doesn’t understand, does he?" Mary said, her face contorted with frustration. "Whether he understands or not is his own business. This time, he must handle our affairs," Connor asserted firmly."Yes," Mary agreed.Connor began investigating Emma’s background, but Emma had no idea about what was unfolding. She was simply enjoying her recent happiness. Everything, from her career to her family, was going remarkably well. With the busy store, a cute child at home, and a considerate husband, Emma was experiencing for the

Landon nodded. “When the owner of a company is alienated from everyone, how can the company’s products be trusted?“For the sake of the company’s reputation, Stirling Group should probably consider replacing its leader,” Landon said calmly despite the situation. He knew without a doubt that it was the work of his relatives.Emma bit her lip in frustration. “That foolish woman!”Who were they when compared to the Stirlings? People like herself had no business meddling in such conflicts. Frankly, they were not even worth her time.“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Landon offered.Emma looked at Landon. “I’m sorry to trouble you.”Landon smiled. “You’re still apologizing? It’s my fault for involving you.”Emma saw Landon’s smile and pressed her lips together. “If they don’t consider us family, then we shouldn’t consider them as family either.”“It’s best to love oneself.”Emma spoke with utmost seriousness. She used to feel immense sympathy for her mother. Knowing that her father wa

Landon smiled. He picked up a piece of egg with his fork and gently raised it to Emma's mouth. “Eat this while Asher is still asleep.”Emma was momentarily stunned and felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had seen scenes like that on TV—parents cooking in the kitchen while their children ran up to them. The parent would lovingly scoop out a special treat from the pot, quickly cool it, and quietly place it in the child's mouth. They would share a knowing smile, savoring their private moment together.Emma had always envied that natural, intimate bond and the effortless affection the couple shared. She had never experienced it herself until she became a mother. She then found herself unexpectedly immersed in that very feeling.Overcome with emotion, she did not think twice about the formality of the situation. Without hesitation, she took a bite of the egg. The taste was incredibly delightful, more than she could have imagined. The sense of happiness she felt enveloped her com

“Go ask a lawyer,” Barbara said confidently. “Your husband is rich, isn’t he? His company must have lawyers. Go check if you can get out of supporting me.”Emma had long been accustomed to Barbara’s way of speaking. Just as her mother understood her, she understood her mother equally well.“Extortion and blackmail carry criminal charges, you know. So when you’re in prison, even if I wanted to support you, I wouldn’t be able to!” Emma’s words pierced Barbara deeply. She stared at Emma in disbelief.Barbara had never expected Emma to speak to her that way. “Have you gone mad?” Barbara asked.“It’s you who’s mad!” Emma coldly stared at Barbara. “I’m warning you to stay out of this matter, or you’ll face consequences you can’t handle!” Emma’s voice was icy.“What consequences?” Barbara roared. “They’ve offered me two million dollars. What have you given me? You’ve been more trouble than cattle. At least cattle can be slaughtered for meat at the end of the year. What good have yo
