เข้าสู่ระบบMiranda came up with several treatment plans.Each plan would take time to test and validate, which meant Haley’s treatment was going to be a long process.In the blink of an eye, the New Year was almost here.Mia’s winter study trip had also ended smoothly.Felix and Miranda went to the airport together to pick her up. When they saw their daughter in the crowd, a little taller than before, confident and bright, pride rose in both their eyes.Mia was pulling her own suitcase.After this trip, she really did seem to have grown up. She had become more independent too.“Daddy! Mommy!”Mia ran over happily and threw herself into Miranda’s arms.“Did you have fun?”“Yes! So much fun.”After they brought Mia home, they had dinner that evening at the Gibson estate.Susan had been doing well lately. After dinner, she invited Miranda to join the Gibson family for New Year’s Eve dinner.Miranda agreed.It worked out well. Since it was the holiday season, Miranda had planned to give
Felix brought her a cup of coffee.“Do you want some? I’ll drive you over in a bit.”Miranda picked up his cup and took two sips.After they finished breakfast, they left together.Behind them, Mrs. Young tidied up with a smile on her face.At the lab, Felix walked Miranda to her office before leaving.Miranda soon threw herself back into work.For the next week, she was extremely busy. Felix could hold himself back sometimes, but other times, he still indulged a little.Meanwhile, Mia’s school was organizing an overseas study trip. Since parents wouldn’t be going along, Mia would be spending the next month in Merika.As it happened, Sienna had a work trip there too, so she offered to help look after her niece while she was there.Mia wouldn’t be back until just before the New Year.As for Lena’s treatment plan in Hamilton, Miranda adjusted several key parameters. She also applied for one of the most advanced brain-computer interface chips from Danesia, intending to use it t
His low voice sounded in the dark, carrying a satisfied smile.Miranda was held in his arms, surrounded by the clean cedar scent of his freshly showered body. Her heartbeat could not help quickening.“Mm,” she answered softly.Felix smiled.Then he picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled Miranda, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders.Felix’s arms were strong, and his steps were steady. He carried her all the way to the master bedroom.The wall lamp was on, casting a soft glow over the room.Felix placed Miranda directly onto the bed.She had just tried to sit up when he lowered his head and kissed her.The kiss was gentle and lingering, filled with his familiar possessiveness. He was neither hurried nor forceful, but that slow, unhurried pressure was the most impossible to resist.Miranda’s legs went weak from his kisses. Sinking into the soft bedding beneath her, she could only let him kiss her.His lips
The three girls immediately exchanged looks.“He’s taken.”“Is that his girlfriend? She’s really pretty too.”“More than pretty. Look at her. She gives off that highly educated, intellectual vibe.”The girl who had been about to ask for his number muttered under her breath, “Never mind. I’m not going over there to embarrass myself.”Even so, they couldn’t help sneaking glances at them.Then they realized that Felix never looked at anyone else. His eyes stayed only on the woman sitting across from him.One of the girls secretly snapped a photo of Felix and Miranda and posted it on social media.“Just saw the most unreal couple. And the guy? That silver hair is insane.”Just then, the server brought over the desserts Miranda had ordered to go, and the two of them got up to leave.The girl who had posted the photo picked up her phone again. She was the type who loved sharing things online, so within minutes, the comments had already started coming in.“Wait, isn’t that Felix Gi
The records room was quiet.Rows of tall shelves were filled with all kinds of lab files and research papers.Miranda went to the neuroscience section and began searching for the documents she needed. Her fingers slid across row after row of folders. Soon, she pulled one out, flipped through a few pages, then put it back and continued looking for the next file.Felix did not go in.He simply leaned against the doorway and watched her.The white lab coat looked different on Miranda somehow. Under it, the collar of her white shirt showed faintly. A few loose strands of hair had fallen along her cheek, and as she focused on the files, her expression was serious. Every now and then, she frowned slightly in thought.She looked almost like a student, absorbed and intent.A moment later, Miranda pulled out a folder and walked over to him.“Found it.”Felix took the folder from her. With his other hand, he naturally wrapped an arm around her waist.Miranda reached down and tried to p
Coco’s face grew even warmer.“I know. He’s honest and dependable. He’s just… kind of boring.”Miranda couldn’t help laughing.“That’s why opposites attract. You’re cheerful and straightforward. The two of you actually balance each other out pretty well.”Coco didn’t seem to be trying to hide it anymore. She twisted her fingers together and said, “Actually, sometimes when I watch him working in the lab… he does look pretty handsome.”Miranda encouraged her. “I can tell Adrian pays a lot of attention to you too.”Coco covered her face.“No, he doesn’t.”Miranda smiled.“I think the two of you are a good match.”Coco muttered quietly, “He’s a total workaholic. All he sees is data and experiments. When would he ever have time to notice me?”Miranda smiled and shook her head, her gaze still on the data on the screen.“He may not talk much, but he’s steady. If he really likes someone, he won’t say it all the time, but you’ll see it in what he does.”Coco immediately thought of
Mike set the snacks down on the small table with a smile. “Of course. Is that little tummy hungry?”“Hungry!” Mia stared at the pastries without blinking.Miranda couldn’t help laughing at Mia’s expression. “Say thank you to Uncle Mike before you dig in.”“Thank you, Uncle Mike,” Mia said sweetly
Fiona clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Now that Mr. Gibson himself has spoken, why are you still pretending to be so generous?”Miranda glanced at her, then picked up her phone and dialed Felix’s number, pressing the speaker button.The call connected almost immediately. Felix’s deep, st
Susan had not really paid attention to when Sienna worked at Leo’s company. “Is that so? And was Leo good to you?”“He was. If it weren’t for that Miran—” Sienna stopped herself just in time.Susan narrowed her eyes. “If it weren’t for what?”Sienna smiled sweetly. “Nothing. Mom, I really like Le
Miranda met his gaze, then stepped around him with her files in hand.Later, when she and Samantha were discussing research details, Felix knocked and walked in. Samantha looked genuinely surprised.“Felix? What are you doing here?”“I came to check on the project’s progress.” He spoke calmly. Ev
