Semua Bab My Mysterious Husband: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Barbara was shaking with anger. "So, this is how you treat your mother, huh?“If you have any guts, why don’t you show them outside? You're just like your father—always taking it out on your own family!” Barbara scolded, her words flowing effortlessly.Emma had heard those same words countless times over the past 20 years of her life. She could recall every shift in tone and every emphasis on each word as if they were etched into her memory.However, this time, something was different. Emma realized her heart no longer hurt and she was not even angry. It was as if, in that instant, she had unlocked a door, freeing herself from a dark, suffocating space where she had been trapped for so long. She felt completely liberated.The suffocating pressure that used to overwhelm her was gone. The fear and uncertainty that once gripped her were no more. For the first time, she looked carefully at her mother, who was yelling at her with all her might.Emma observed every detail—her mother’s f

Mary smiled confidently. “Of course.“But are you sure about this? Once we do it, there’s no turning back,” she asked, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.Connor responded seriously, “If we don’t get the funding, our company is done for.”“At this point, if we don’t go all in, what are you waiting for?” Connor’s question left Mary in thoughtful silence.With that, they made their decision and began preparing. They had to ensure that their plan would bring Landon down once and for all.While they waited, Emma was on edge every day, worried about what Landon’s relatives were plotting. She was not afraid of them causing trouble at her bakery, but she was deeply concerned they might sabotage Landon’s business.Emma did not fully understand the intricacies of Landon’s business. However, she knew enough to realize that, in the world of business, one small misstep could snowball into disaster, potentially collapsing an entire company.After days of anxiety, one evening after dinner, La

The online chatter was heating up, and Emma had not been to the bakery or sent little Asher to preschool for the past few days. Instead of covering up the situation with lies, she chose to explain things carefully to her child.She laid out the facts for Asher, who was just over four years old and did not understand much. When he could not get something, he would ask his mom, and Emma would patiently explain using examples and explanations that Asher could grasp. It took nearly an entire day for her to make everything clear to him.Asher furrowed his little brow and expressed his opinion. “They’re bad!”Emma nodded firmly, “Yes, they’re bad!”“Now that this is all over the internet, a lot of people are also criticizing your father,” Emma said, showing her phone to Asher with the comments displayed.Asher could not read the comments yet, so Emma was not expecting him to. She simply pointed out the high number of comments, explaining, “These are everyone’s opinions.”Asher could

Emma followed along, making sure that the little one had tucked himself in and was sleeping soundly before she stepped out.Landon had finished half a sandwich by the time she came in. Watching him devour it made Emma’s heart ache, and it made her wonder what he had been through this entire time. Emma said nothing, just sat quietly beside him, watching him eat.Soon, Landon had finished everything on the plate."Are you full?" Emma asked. "You ate so quickly. If you're still hungry later, I can make you more."Eating too fast could fill the stomach but not make one feel satiated. If he continued eating now, he might end up overeating. That was why Emma told Landon to wait a bit and assess how he felt."I’m full," Landon said with a smile. "I ate something around 6 p.m. at the office."Emma nodded slightly, relieved to know that Landon’s eating habits were still somewhat regular.Landon asked, "While the bakery has been closed, has Ash not been going to preschool too?""Yeah."

"Landon is my husband, so if you’re looking for him, you’re looking for me!" Emma declared with fierce determination.As Emma spoke, the elevator doors behind her opened slowly. Landon, standing in the elevator, overheard what she said, and a deep smile spread across his face."Emma, you go on up," Landon said calmly. "I’ll have a word with them."Emma glanced at Landon, then turned to Mary and said, "I’ll have you know that Landon is my husband. If you try to mess with him, you’ll have to deal with me!"You may have money and power, but remember this: the poor have nothing to lose or fear. Push me too far, and I’m capable of anything!" Emma threatened fiercely.Landon could not help but chuckle to himself. He suddenly felt that Emma was quite protective of her man, and now, he was the one being protected by her.After Emma’s warning, she turned to Landon and said softly, “I’ll cook dinner and wait for you to come back.”“Okay,” Landon replied with a smile. He watched Emma ent
