Semua Bab My Mysterious Husband: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Emma felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that her efforts were appreciated and reciprocated. It was not like she was pouring her heart into a black hole, where nothing ever came back.She took a deep breath to steady her emotions and refocused on what she needed to do. She had plenty on her plate. The bakery needed to reopen, and Asher had to start preschool, which meant she had to get everything ready for that.After a few busy days, Emma finally got everything back on track. The little one was off to preschool, full of excitement, and Emma’s bakery was back in business. The store manager and staff did not say much; they just went about their work diligently.During those days, Landon occasionally had to work late, which Emma completely understood. After handling the matters with the Stirlings and Normans, his company probably needed some serious restructuring. She may not know much about that, but she did what she could. Every afternoon, she would prepare some food and take it

Landon’s excitement lifted Emma’s spirits. Initially, she had felt a bit anxious about whether he would like the gift. However, seeing his reaction now, Emma felt that buying the gift was absolutely worth it just to see him so happy. It felt wonderful.Landon took out the tie, examined it closely, and immediately stood up to go to the mirror. He held it to his neck and said, “It looks great.”Landon’s every movement clearly showed just how much he liked the gift. Emma watched him with a sweet smile that spread across her face.She realized why she was so happy. It was because her gift made the recipient happy and she received positive feedback—a far cry from the times she had given gifts that were met with criticism and complaints about wasted money.Emma thought back and realized that anything she gave her mother would be nitpicked and criticized. She could not understand why her mother had to be so harsh or why putting her down seemed to bring her such satisfaction.However, s

Landon spoke directly, stating his position. “My wife received a business card from you at the mall yesterday, mentioning a role that might be suitable for her.”The voice on the other end immediately responded, “Yes, that’s right. Sir, I assure you I’m not a scammer. I am–”“Famous producer Yannick Hart,” Landon interrupted. “I understand you’re currently working on a TV series.”“That’s correct,” Yannick replied with a smile. “It seems you know a bit about me, so you must realize I’m not a fraud. I’m wondering if your wife might be interested in coming in for an audition?”“What role are you considering for my wife?” Landon asked.Yannick raised an eyebrow slightly. The way Landon spoke was quite intriguing. He was not just another overly excited person or someone trying to put on airs; instead, he sounded composed and worldly.“Well,” Yannick began, “we’re producing a historical piece and need someone to play a mysterious and aloof sage.” As soon as Yannick finished speaking

With Emma, Landon was always upfront and honest, never hiding anything.“However, Yannick has worked on many film and television projects. He’s a professional in this field, so if he sees potential in you and thinks you’re right for a particular role, there must be a reason for it,” he said.“You can go for the audition either tomorrow or the day after. What do you think? Are you interested?” Landon asked, having said everything he needed to.“I think it sounds like fun. If you want to go, go for it. If not, that’s fine too. Your bakery is doing really well. There’s no need to force yourself into something you don’t enjoy.”Noticing that Emma still looked shocked, Landon started to worry. He wondered if maybe Emma was not interested in acting.However, Emma suddenly burst into laughter, feeling touched. “You went through all this trouble just for a business card and even met with the producer?”“Uh, yes,” Landon responded instinctively. Then, when he realized what he said, he a

Emma’s eyes crinkled with a smile, and she was genuinely enjoying the moment.The next day, Landon told Emma to stay home while he dropped Asher off at preschool. When the time was right, he drove Emma to her audition. As they were driving, Landon glanced over and asked, “Why are you staring at me like that?”“I’m just happy,” Emma replied, her smile never leaving her face. It was clear she was extremely content.“Why are you so happy?” Landon asked, finding it strange.Emma grinned and said, “Because you’re taking me to my audition.”Landon was momentarily taken aback, and a twinge of sadness tugged at his heart. Emma, however, was blissfully unaware of Landon’s emotions and continued cheerfully, “Honestly, I’m a bit nervous.“I’m really glad you’re here with me,” Emma said, a bit embarrassed. “Actually, I’m quite shy and have social anxiety.”As she spoke more, Emma grew a bit awkward. “Even though I seem outgoing and chatty with strangers, it’s all an act. I try to mask
