Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1283
As the two most important groomsmen, Felix and Leo were seated in the front row at the head table. Both of them were genuinely happy for their friend.Xena and Peter were seated a little farther back. Xena’s eyes were fixed on the ballroom doors too, but there was resentment buried in her gaze. She hadn’t forgotten the humiliation Sera had dealt her, and she had no intention of forgetting it now.At that moment, the heavy ballroom doors slowly opened.The bride appeared in a white wedding gown, her arm linked through her father’s as she stepped gracefully into view. Beneath the veil, her delicate features and shy smile could just be made out.As Hayden watched his bride walk toward him one step at a time, his eyes suddenly turned red. Excitement and love lit up his handsome face all at once.Amid the applause and cheers filling the room, the bride kept walking steadily toward the groom waiting for her on the stage.Seated where he was, Felix followed her with his eyes, but his fo

And yet he wouldn’t even spare her a glance. Faced with that absolute indifference, everything she had thought and hoped felt ridiculous and pointless.Just then, Peter noticed her distraction and gave her arm a displeased pinch.Xena snapped back to herself at once. She pulled her gaze away, looked up at Peter with studied softness, and tightened her hold on his arm as if he were the only piece of driftwood left in her life.“Peter, let’s go in,” she said in a deliberately sweet voice.Peter liked that version of her well enough. He slipped an arm around her waist. “Come on. I’ll introduce you to a few people.”Xena flashed him a practiced, alluring smile, but as she turned her eyes, they landed on another gaze instead.Leo’s.He was standing with a drink in hand, talking with a few guests. When he happened to look her way, their eyes met head-on.The smile on Xena’s face froze. A rush of embarrassment and humiliation rose in her chest.If Felix was the man she could never ha

A shadow passed through Felix’s eyes. He typed back, “All right. I’ll take care of it. And get some rest when you can. Don’t push yourself too hard.”Miranda didn’t reply again. Felix put his phone away, then walked over to Hayden, who was in the middle of talking with guests, and gave his shoulder a light pat.Hayden turned to look at him, and Felix passed on Miranda’s message in an even tone. “She asked me to congratulate you and Ms. Yates for her. She won’t be able to make it in person.”Hayden smiled in understanding. “That’s okay. Her research is too important to put on hold. Once things settle down for her, we can get together another time.”Felix nodded. “I’ll tell her.”Just then, another group of guests came in from the elevator lobby. Felix and Hayden looked up instinctively.Peter had arrived, with Xena on his arm.The red sequined mermaid gown Xena was wearing was impossible to miss under the lights. She clung tightly to Peter’s arm, but the moment she saw the two me

With that, she buried her face in Peter’s chest, her shoulders trembling lightly. “It’s you, Peter. You’re the only one who’s ever really been good to me. You’re the only one who’s given me something to lean on. If Felix weren’t still tying me down with that contract, I’d want nothing more than to stay as far away from him as possible for the rest of my life.”Peter knew her words were only half true, but they were still pleasing to hear. Much of the anger on his face faded. He patted her on the back, his tone softening.“All right, all right. Why are you crying? Now that you’re with me, you don’t need to be afraid of anyone. I’ll make sure everyone knows that as long as you’re with me, no one gets to look down on you.”Xena bit down on her teeth in secret. It looked like there was no getting out of this. She was going to that wedding whether she wanted to or not.“All right. I’ll do as you say. I’ll go change into my gown right now. I won’t embarrass you.” She lifted her face, wip

Three days later, the wedding between the Hayden and Yates families was held in grand style at the most prestigious hotel ballroom in Atlantis City.As two of Hayden’s closest friends since childhood, Felix and Leo arrived early. One stood on each side of the groom, helping him welcome the steady stream of guests.Felix was dressed in a perfectly tailored dark gray suit. His silver-gray hair was styled with effortless precision, and even his usually cold features seemed softer today. When guests came up to speak with him, he was willing to exchange a few extra words. He still spoke with his usual brevity, but he remained impeccably courteous.Leo, meanwhile, looked as polished and elegant as ever. His light-colored suit made him seem even more refined, and his warm smile put people at ease immediately.Standing beside the confident groom, the two men made a striking contrast. One cool and steady, the other gentle and polished. Together, the three of them looked like they had steppe

Leo knew very clearly that from this point on, what he felt for Miranda would remain nothing more than the care and concern of a friend. He wouldn’t allow himself to hope for anything more.Miranda stepped into the elevator holding Mia’s hand, and Felix followed them in. While Mia busied herself pressing the floor button, Felix reached over and pressed 27.“Thank you for being understanding with Hayden tonight,” Felix said in a low voice. Beneath his thick lashes, his gaze rested on Miranda, as if quietly searching her face. “He’s been wanting a chance to apologize to you.”Miranda answered calmly, “I’ve already let the past go.”A flicker of remorse crossed Felix’s eyes. If Hayden hadn’t told him, he never would have known there had been tension between them too.“I’m sorry. Back then, you went through a lot because of me.” His voice was low, full of self-reproach.The failed marriage still touched something in Miranda, but not much anymore.Once, all those hurts had been like

Miranda frowned when she noticed the DE label printed on the box. It had clearly come from one of DE’s engineering teams.Mia clapped excitedly, tugging on Miranda’s sleeve. “Mom, open it. I want to see what it is.”Miranda and Mrs. Young carried the box inside and started unpacking it. Inside was

Fiona convinced herself that Miranda’s win wasn’t as impressive as it looked. In her mind, Samantha and Dr. Lewis, who had both been close friends of Eugene, had obviously played a role in recommending her for the award. With professors like that behind her, the whole thing had to involve some level

Mrs. Young glanced over at Miranda. She was quietly flipping through a medical journal, completely absorbed, radiating a calm intelligence that made it clear she was no longer the young woman who had once depended on Felix.Every now and then, Miranda still checked on Mia, but her gaze settled only

“During the bouquet toss, I really wanted to hand it to you myself,” Sophie said. “But when I turned around, your seat was empty. Where did you go?”“I stepped out to take a call,” Miranda replied.“That was terrible timing. I was hoping to make you catch it right in front of Felix.”Miranda laug
