Semua Bab My Mysterious Husband: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Landon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Emma had not outright rejected him, which meant there was still hope."How are we different?" Landon asked, earnestly engaging in the conversation with Emma."And don’t say money," Landon added with a playful grin. "That’s too superficial."Emma shook her head, smiling. "Money may be superficial, but it represents a lot. It shows capability—being able to spot opportunities and having the luck and the smarts to capitalize on them. That’s how you make money.""There’s also another possibility that I had a head start and inherited it from my family,” Landon countered with a smile. “It’s not all because of my hard work, but because my family raised me well.""But that’s your family’s legacy," Emma replied naturally. "It shows that your parents, your elders, worked hard. Just like how you're working hard now to provide a good environment for your son, giving him the best education and broadening his horizons. When he grows up, he’ll live bette

Emma looked at Landon in surprise. "I thought you might think I was looking down on you because you’ve lost everything."Landon shook his head with a smile. "I’ve known you long enough to know better."If you’d asked me at the very beginning, maybe I would’ve had doubts. But after spending so much time together, how could I fall for you without understanding who you really are?" Landon’s straightforward confession made Emma feel incredibly awkward, or, more accurately, she just did not know how to handle a situation like this.She never believed anyone would genuinely like her. Even when others had shown her kindness before, deep down, she always felt insecure.When it came to matters of the heart, Emma’s instinct was to avoid them.Back in school, she could not even tell when someone had a crush on her. If anyone expressed interest, she just assumed they were joking.To be honest, she was not confident back then. So, now, hearing someone like Landon say he liked her? It felt e

Emma paused for a moment but eventually nodded honestly.“You see, there’s really no need to worry,” Landon said with a smile. “Whether a couple stays together has nothing to do with whether they’re in the same line of work.”Emma nodded in agreement, but then... she froze. Were they not just talking about trying out a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? How did Landon jump straight to talking about marriage?Wait... was that not a bit too much, too soon?Emma stared blankly at Landon, feeling like something was off.Landon, looking completely innocent, asked, “What’s wrong?”Emma swallowed and shook her head. “Nothing.”Maybe Landon had said it without thinking. If she brought it up, it would only make things awkward.“Anyway, you should get some rest. If you need anything, just let me know. Whatever I can help with, I will,” Emma said.Landon, seeing Emma’s full support, smiled happily. “Alright.”Emma did not stay longer after that, not wanting to interrupt Landon’s rest.

"You worked hard to raise me? Did I ask to be born?" Emma was in a terrible mood and did not hold back as she confronted her mother."Why did you bring me into this world? So you could have someone to dump your emotional baggage on? You’re too scared to stand up to others, so you take it all out on me!"If your husband’s irresponsible and doesn’t care, then divorce him. Don’t blame me for staying in a miserable marriage, saying it was for my sake! Your problems are between you adults—why do I have to suffer for them?"You made bad choices. What does that have to do with me? You knew he wasn’t reliable, yet you stayed and had me—why?"Emma was absolutely furious and lashed out. "It’s not like giving birth to me makes you some kind of royalty, where you’re always right!" Emma yelled angrily, "If you’re so upset, take me to court! I won’t shortchange you on your alimony, not a single cent."With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation. Her mother never cared about her feel

He thought that at where they were now, Emma should at least give him a kiss. It did not even have to be on his lips. His cheeks would do, too.Emma glanced at Landon, holding a piece of meat between his teeth and not moving. She asked with concern, "Is it too hot? Spit it out then!"When she handed it to Landon, he held it with his teeth. If it was so hot that he could feel it even through his teeth…"No," Landon replied, taking a bite and looking at Emma with a complicated expression.Forget it. They had just confessed their feelings, and Emma had just agreed to date him. He could not rush her too much.Under Emma's watchful gaze, Landon slowly ate the crispy meat.Emma asked with anticipation, "Is it good?""Mm." Landon nodded, responding earnestly, "It’s a taste of heaven."Emma chuckled. "You’re just trying to make me happy."Landon usually ate at high-end restaurants. She knew her cooking was nowhere near as good as a top chef's. Landon was just trying to cheer her up.
