Author: Baby X
His gaze still lingered on her from behind. In that moment, whatever faint possibility Felix had let himself believe in, whatever hope he had kept buried in silence, came to an end.

Felix drew a slow breath, tugged lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to Miranda, “You should get back to work. I’ll go.”

Miranda seemed to realize only then that he was still standing there. With Raymond still talking in her ear, she had no room to say anything more to him.

Felix turned and walked away. H

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1652

    If Felix hadn’t used every trick and every calculated move he had, perhaps the man standing beside Miranda now would have been Mike, Leo, or James.Any one of them would have been a good choice.They were all outstanding men who respected her, and none of them made any secret of their feelings for her. Miranda could have chosen any of them and been happy.Only Felix had become the one who held her back.He didn’t deny that over the past three years, he had fought and schemed for a place beside her.Without all those calculations and all that effort, how else could he have stood beside her again?How else could he have had the chance to pursue her all over again?Warm water poured down over him.Felix braced one hand against the tile wall and let the water run over his head, as if trying to cool down a mind that had long since stopped being rational.It took Mrs. Young only about fifteen minutes to make the soup.Miranda carried them over to the sitting area on the second floo

    Guilt rushed through Miranda at once.It looked like he had already been running a fever last night.Which meant he had spent the entire night burning up.“You have a fever,” Miranda said. “I’m taking you to the hospital. Or I’ll call Gavin and have him take you.”Felix pushed himself up from the couch.The next second, Miranda was pulled into a burning-hot embrace.He held her tightly and said in a low, breathless voice, almost like a stubborn child, “I’m not going anywhere.”Miranda was trapped in his arms, worried and anxious. She patted the back of his hand.“Let go of me first. You need to go to the hospital like this.”Felix didn’t let go.Instead, he tightened his arms and buried his face deep against her shoulder. His breath, hot from the fever, brushed against the side of her neck.His voice was hoarse.“I’m not going. As long as you’re here with me, I’m not going anywhere.”Miranda was filled with guilt and regret.She had chosen the wrong time to say those thin

    Miranda didn’t go back.But once she returned to her room, her mind cleared a little, and she realized she had chosen the wrong moment to say those things to him.Today was the day they had buried Mrs. Gibson Sr.She shouldn’t have said all of that when he was at his most vulnerable, when he was still drowning in grief.She wanted to apologize, but then again, it no longer seemed necessary.If she wanted him to start a new life, then this was how it had to be.Her right hand, the one Felix had pressed against his face, still seemed to feel hot.Miranda frowned.Had that really been his normal body temperature?Or was he running a fever?The thought immediately caught hold of her.She tried to remember Felix’s condition earlier. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something had been wrong. He had looked unwell. His emotions had been unstable. And he had knelt there like that.But he was an adult.If he was sick, he would go to the hospital.If he was exhausted

    Even though Miranda hadn’t pushed him away, Felix could feel it.In her heart, she had pushed him away again.It was as if she had decided she didn’t want him anymore.Miranda took a step back, putting some distance between them. But Felix’s arms remained around her, keeping her within reach, as if he couldn’t bear to let her go.Miranda drew in a deep breath. Her gaze didn’t waver as she looked into his eyes.“Felix, you’re a good man. I’ve seen everything you’ve done lately. But I’ve thought it through. We’re not getting remarried, and we’re not getting back together.”Felix’s throat moved.His pupils tightened, and a flash of vulnerability crossed his eyes.“Why?” His voice was strained. “Why can’t we be together again? We don’t have to get remarried. I told you before, the paperwork doesn’t matter. What matters is us.”He drew a shaky breath and continued, “As long as we’re together, that’s enough.”Miranda suddenly pushed him away and took another step back. She folded h

    Under the umbrella, it was just Felix and Miranda.Rain tapped against the wet ground as the cemetery staff finished setting the headstone and taking care of the final details.The rain was coming down harder now.One of the staff members walked over and said, “Mr. Gibson, you should both head back first. We’ll still need another hour or so here.”Felix nodded.Then he looked at Miranda.“Let’s go back.”Miranda nodded and lifted the umbrella a little higher. Almost instinctively, she tilted it more toward him.Felix reached over and took the handle from her.“I’ve got it.”Those simple words carried a quiet strength.Then he shifted most of the umbrella over Miranda’s head, leaving one of his shoulders exposed to the rain.The two of them walked down the slick hillside path together.When Miranda’s foot slipped, Felix immediately wrapped an arm around her and held her steady.For the rest of the way down, he didn’t let go.When they returned to the chapel, a staff membe

    Miranda nodded.“I have time.”“Good. Then we’ll be in touch,” Samantha said. “I should get going too. I have a class this afternoon.”After seeing Samantha off, Miranda heard someone call her name from behind.“Miranda.”She turned in surprise.Leo stood behind her in a black suit. Hayden was beside him, also dressed in black.“It’s been a while, Miranda,” Hayden said politely.“Leo. Hayden. It’s been a while,” Miranda greeted them.Hayden turned to Leo.“I’ll leave you two to talk about your mom’s condition. I’ll head in first.”Leo looked at Miranda.“Are you busy? Do you have a few minutes to talk?”Miranda nodded, and the two of them sat down nearby.Leo told her about his mother’s recent condition. There was deep worry between his brows.His father had already passed away, and his sister had been sentenced to life in prison. Aside from his niece, Vivian, his mother was the only close family he had left.That was why he hoped so desperately that she would get bette

    In the quiet exhibition hall, Miranda’s phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced at the screen and immediately declined the call without hesitation.Leo turned to look at her. “You’re not answering?”“Just spam,” Miranda replied casually.A few seconds later, a message came in. Miranda glanced again. I

    Miranda’s expression darkened. Anger surged through her stomach and up her chest. What sort of manipulation was Felix trying to pull now?Felix narrowed his eyes slightly. “You might want to think it over. And to be clear, I am not forcing you to sign.”Miranda let out a dry laugh. “I don’t care w

    Leo was taken aback. “Mom, you reached out to her first?”“I just gave her a call.”“Mom, try not to impose on her like that again. She's very busy with work.” Leo reminded her quickly.On the other end of the line, Haley could clearly hear how protective he sounded. She was surprised. Since when

    To hear what Haley might say, Sienna pretended to take a phone call and quietly slipped behind a nearby tree.Leo turned around just as Haley approached. His shoulders tightened. Even though her attitude had softened recently, he still could not predict her thoughts. He had no idea how she truly fe
