Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1291
Just then, a woman’s voice behind him said, “Thank you.”Felix turned in surprise and met Miranda’s clear gaze. There was sincere gratitude in her eyes. It was obvious she had heard everything he and Dr. Zeller had just said.“You don’t need to thank me,” Felix replied softly.“That machine is important for Mike’s treatment. I’m thanking you for him.”Felix lowered his eyes. His lashes cast a shadow beneath them, and Miranda’s words made one thing painfully clear. Mike already held a place in her heart that no one else could claim. In a way that mattered, she already saw him as her own.At just the right moment, Dr. Zeller spoke up. “With Felix helping, Mike’s treatment should go much more smoothly.”Miranda nodded and looked at Felix again. A machine like that was not easy to get, and she knew he had gone to a great deal of trouble for it.Dr. Zeller checked the time on his watch. “I have to get to a meeting.”Both of them nodded and watched him go. Once he was gone, Miranda s

When the elevator reached the twenty-seventh floor, the cool-toned decor made the space feel even colder. Felix loosened his tie, went straight to the dressing room, changed into workout pants, and headed for the gym. The restless heat of the night and the emptiness inside him were twisting together, and he needed some kind of outlet.To the steady rhythm of the treadmill, sweat quickly soaked through the back of his shirt. In the two years since the divorce, nights like this had become routine.By day, he was the composed strategist at the head of a business empire. By night, the only way he could wear himself out was through exercise.Especially on summer nights like this, when the air itself seemed full of a restless tension that stirred the most sensitive corners of his mind.All he could see was Miranda as she had looked a little while ago, soft and quietly alluring. And with that came memory after memory of the nights they had once shared.After finishing a brutal round of

Felix turned to look at him. “What about you? What are you planning to do?”Leo understood immediately what he really meant. He lowered his eyes for a moment, then smiled with quiet acceptance. “For now, I’m going to take care of Vivian and get the company back on track. As for the rest of my personal life, that can wait.”Felix looked at him for a long moment, then said in a low, sincere voice, “There’s something I never properly thanked you for. What happened two years ago.”Leo paused, then understood at once that he meant the night Miranda fell into the pool.Guilt and regret flashed sharply in Felix’s eyes. “If you hadn’t jumped in and gotten to her first—”“That was what anyone should have done,” Leo said quietly. “Anyone in that situation would have.”Under the moonlight, the two men held each other’s gaze.Felix swallowed once. “I’ll never forget it.”Leo gave a small nod. Some things didn’t need to be said outright. Some bonds were understood without words.That night

By eight o’clock, Leo and Felix had taken the children home and were spending time with them at the playground downstairs. Under the lights, Leo and Felix stood nearby, talking quietly about business.Around eight-thirty, Miranda got home from the lab. Mrs. Young told her Mia hadn’t come back yet, so Miranda clipped on Gigi’s leash and took her downstairs for a walk. After spending the entire day in the lab, she needed the fresh air too.The moment she reached the playground, her eyes found Mia and Vivian. As she walked a little closer with Gigi, she also spotted Felix and Leo standing in the shadows beneath the trees.Gigi let out an excited little whine at once, eager to go over, so Miranda had no choice but to lead her that way.Felix turned and saw Miranda walking the dog. Leo’s breath caught slightly too. She had come up behind him without either of them noticing.Miranda had clearly showered before coming downstairs. She wore no makeup, and under the lights, her face looke

At five that evening, Miranda got a message from Felix saying he was taking Mia to the wedding reception for dinner and asking whether she wanted to come too.Miranda declined and told him to just make sure Mia ate well.That, of course, was exactly the answer Felix had expected.That night, Leo brought Vivian as well. The two little girls sat side by side, each with her guardian nearby, and more than a few people found themselves looking over at them with quiet admiration.Some of the guests were even quietly entertaining the idea of whether their own sons might one day have a chance with one of those girls. If they could somehow become in-laws with the Gibson family or the Lincoln family, their children would never have to struggle the way ordinary people did. It was the kind of wealth that could change a family’s future for generations.That night also gave many people a glimpse of a side of Felix they never saw in business. In the corporate world, he was known for being sharp,

Xena felt a bitter ache spread through her chest.She had once been so close to that world. Close enough to feel as though she could almost reach out and touch it.And now they were all still standing high above her, dazzling as ever, while she no longer even had the right to walk over and say hello.Once, she had believed that by pushing Hayden and using Miranda as a wedge, she could drive a permanent rift between the three of them. In the end, it hadn’t worked. Leo and Felix had clearly repaired their friendship, and it looked as though Leo had stepped back from whatever feelings he once had for Miranda, leaving that chance to Felix.After all, when Leo’s company ran into trouble overseas last time, it had been Felix who stepped in and pulled him out. That alone had only made their bond stronger.Now Xena was trapped at Peter’s side. From the outside, her life still looked glamorous, but only she knew how cold it really felt.Just then, Peter came stumbling back toward her, c

Felix walked over with Ben to greet the guests. Zion stepped out first with four members of his team. Felix extended his hand. “Welcome, Dr. Declan.”Zion’s attitude was noticeably different from the last time they met. He smiled as he shook Felix’s hand. “Hi, Mr. Gibson.” Then his eyes moved to Mi

The meeting continued, and Felix forced himself to stay focused as the team presented the project updates. Every now and then, his suppressed cough would slip out.Miranda kept her head down, taking notes. Suddenly, Felix spoke up, his voice slightly hoarse. “Miranda, what are your recommendations

A man who had climbed his way up from that kind of past was not someone who could be taken down easily.Miranda exchanged a few more words with Leo before getting into her car. Leo watched her leave, frustration tightening his chest. He had the ability and the desire to help, yet there was nothin
