Chapter 207

作者: Baby X
In the afternoon, Miranda went to pick up Mia and happened to run into Leo. Recently, Vivian had been dropped off and picked up by her nanny, so it seemed Leo had been away on a business trip.

“Ms. Stone,” Leo greeted her warmly.

“Mr. Lincoln, have you been busy?” Miranda asked with a smile.

“I was overseas for a week on business. How have you been?” His gaze carried quiet concern.

When Miranda was under attack online, Leo hadn’t been able to step in because of his position.

But watching how calmly and decisively she handled the storm left him with newfound respect. Her impressive research record only deepened that feeling. He could hardly imagine the obstacles she had overcome to achieve so much in research.

She looked so young. With that fresh face, she could have been mistaken for a student just leaving campus. The longer he looked, the more color rose in her cheeks, softening into a shy, almost untouched innocence.

Caught up in his thoughts, Leo suddenly realized he had been

    “Let’s just hope we don’t run into them on the way out. No point in ruining your mood,” Sophie said.Miranda wasn’t exactly disgusted. She just didn’t want Mia to see them.Right then, Mia set down her toy. “Mommy, I need to go potty.”Miranda lifted her from the booster seat and carried her toward the restroom. Just as they stepped into a stall, footsteps entered the room, followed by a woman’s voice answering a call.“Hello?“He dotes on our daughter, you know. Just a moment ago, Xena wasn’t feeling well and he nearly panicked. He treasures her more than anything.”Miranda’s face tightened. That voice had to be Xena’s mother.“They’re divorced. Completely done. He’s just waiting to marry Xena now.“As for your project, I can’t really ask about it today. Better to let Xena bring it up. But don’t worry,” the woman laughed. “He’s practically our son-in-law already. What project wouldn’t he agree to?”“Mommy, I’m done,” Mia whispered, blinking up at her. Why hadn’t her mother ta

    That night, Miranda tucked the divorce decree into a locked drawer. Mia had a habit of rummaging through things at home, and she couldn’t risk losing it.Holding her soft, sleepy daughter in her arms, Miranda finally felt at peace. Even her dreams that night were sweet.The next morning, a special case required her to visit a patient personally with Coco.At the downtown hospital, Miranda and Coco were just leaving after visiting a patient when Coco suddenly froze. Even with a mask on, the woman across the lobby was impossible to miss. Her figure and her poise made her the kind of beauty who turned heads without effort.Coco clapped a hand over her mouth. “Miranda, isn’t that Xena?”Miranda, pulled from her thoughts, followed her gaze. One glance was enough. It was her.When Coco noticed Xena walking straight toward the OB-GYN wing, her heart skipped. Could she be there for a prenatal checkup? The thought made her pulse quicken with curiosity.“You wait here. I’ll be right back,

    “Hold on,” Felix called after her.Miranda stopped in her tracks and turned back to face him. “What is it, Mr. Gibson?”Felix leaned back, his brow lifting slightly, his eyes filled with unmistakable displeasure. “I’m not satisfied with your current research progress.”Miranda froze for a moment. He actually thought their work was moving too slowly?“Mr. Gibson, scientific research has to be precise. We can’t afford mistakes,” she replied evenly.“Regardless, I expect to see significant results within three months,” Felix said coolly.With that, he rose and walked out first.Miranda remained where she was, composed but tense. Everyone else in the room had felt the pressure of his presence too. For them, the progress so far was already impressive, but it clearly wasn’t enough to meet Felix’s expectations.After a few steadying breaths, Miranda gathered her things and walked out of the DE office.That evening, she texted him. “Tomorrow at ten, meet me at the county courthouse.”

    “Mommy, will you come with us too?” Mia asked, hoping both her parents would go with her.“No, sweetheart. I still have work to finish later,” Miranda said gently.Mia didn’t press. After dinner, Felix took her out, and they did not return until around nine. In his arms was the gift Leo had bought her.“Daddy, aren’t you staying with us?” Mia asked, her eyes brimming with tears.“I still have work to do. I need to make money so I can buy you more gifts,” Felix said softly, wiping her tears with patience.“All right,” Mia nodded reluctantly.“Go play with your new toy,” Miranda told her. Then she looked at Felix. “Step outside. I need a word with you.”Out in the courtyard, Miranda faced him squarely. “I’ll find the right time to tell Mia about the divorce. From now on, don’t lie to her about it.”Felix’s expression tightened. “I don’t think that’s wise. She’s too young. Hearing it now will only hurt her.”“She’ll have to know sooner or later,” Miranda said firmly.Felix’s gaz

    Seeing Mia happily clutch the dinosaur toy, Miranda’s suspicions hardened into certainty. That night, Xena hadn’t just answered the call, she and Felix had been together. For all Miranda knew, they might even have been sharing the same bed.“Ms. Stone, Mr. Gibson said he’ll be staying for dinner, so I’ll start cooking,” Mrs. Young announced.“If you don’t have enough groceries, then don’t worry about it,” Miranda said quickly. She had no intention of letting him stay for a meal.“There’s plenty. I stocked up for two days,” Mrs. Young replied.Miranda knew Mrs. Young had a soft spot for Felix and wanted to spare his feelings. But this was her home. She was the one in charge.“Mommy, I want Daddy to eat with us. I don’t want him to leave,” Mia chimed in, clinging to her.Faced with Mia’s pleading, Miranda could only nod her consent.“I’m going upstairs to wash my face,” she said evenly.Felix’s gaze followed her, but Miranda didn’t look back. She went straight upstairs.When Mrs

    After walking Miranda downstairs, Leo asked if she was heading home to pick up Mia. He wondered if she could also bring Vivian over for dinner since he was tied up for a while.“Of course. You can pick her up at eight-thirty,” Miranda said readily.Having the girls together made mealtimes livelier, and Mia always ate better with company.At exactly eight-thirty, Leo arrived, gift in hand. The two girls sprawled on the floor, giggling as they shared the present. Meanwhile, Miranda invited Leo out to the patio for tea.Even Gigi was no longer shy around him. After a few tentative sniffs, the dog now darted happily around his feet, wagging her tail and nudging her nose against his hand in search of attention.Twenty minutes later, Leo coaxed Vivian home, not wanting to intrude on Miranda’s evening.But Mia had other ideas. Still thinking about her father’s toys, she picked up Miranda’s phone, quickly bypassed the hidden lock, and dialed Felix.Miranda, carrying a basket of freshly
