Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1676
“Lights,” Miranda murmured against his lips.Clearly, she was not rejecting his closeness.She just preferred the dark.Understanding flickered through Felix’s eyes. This had always been her habit.He wanted to turn off the lights, but at the same time, he was afraid that if he gave her even a second to think, she would change her mind, go back to her room, and hide from him again.Felix let out a low breath.“My room.”He lifted her into his arms, his voice trembling with barely restrained excitement.The moment they entered the guest room, he shut the door behind them, cutting off almost all the light from outside. Only the faint glow from a streetlamp in the distance filtered in, just enough for her to make out his outline.He began kissing her right there by the door, urgent and hungry, until Miranda was finally laid gently on the bed.In the dim room, Felix had already undone the top few buttons of his shirt. His breathing was unsteady, and there was something almost dan

Miranda hadn’t spent real time in nature for a long time, and for a moment, she found herself staring at the view in a daze.Felix put her suitcase in the primary bedroom, while his own suitcase was left outside the guest room.Miranda saw it but said nothing. She pushed open the door and walked into the primary bedroom.She needed a moment to sort through her thoughts.Then again, there wasn’t much to sort through.The conference was over. Felix had booked the place. Everything seemed to have happened naturally, one step after another. She hadn’t refused, and in a way, that silence had given him an answer.As if everything had simply fallen into place.Miranda opened her suitcase, took out her makeup remover and toiletries, and went into the bathroom for a shower.Outside the door, Miranda could hear Felix on the phone.After listening for a moment, she realized he was talking to Mia.Mia had probably assumed they would be home tonight and called to ask about it.Through th

Miranda’s hand paused around her water glass.She looked up at the man across from her, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.“Of course not. I’m just not that picky about food.”Felix thought about it and realized she was right.Miranda had never been picky. She was simply disciplined and self-controlled, even with food. In that sense, she was exactly the same as she was at work.Felix ordered a few dishes to share, all based on Miranda’s tastes, then added a dessert he thought she would like.Dinner was quiet and pleasant.When dessert came, Miranda picked up her spoon and took a bite. It was lightly sweet, not too rich, and exactly the kind of thing she liked.Felix’s gaze rested on her as he quietly drank his coffee.For a moment, the atmosphere between them was peaceful and warm, wrapped in a faint, gentle sweetness.After dinner, they took a walk down a nearby historic street lined with old brick storefronts and warm streetlights.By the time they returned to the hotel,

Felix caught that tiny smile from across the table, and the corners of his mouth curved too. Just like that, his whole mood brightened.After breakfast, the two of them headed to the main conference hall.At the opening ceremony, a senior official from the National Science and Technology Council and two National Academy fellows gave speeches one after another. The audience was filled with young leaders from different fields, and the atmosphere was energized and inspiring.Miranda and Felix were not seated together.As a special guest representing the investment world and a leading young entrepreneur, Felix sat near the front. Miranda, attending as a representative from the biomedical field, was seated on the other side of the hall.When the morning session broke for refreshments, conversation immediately rose all around them.Miranda was discussing the earlier presentation with another researcher when a warm hand suddenly settled on her shoulder.She looked up and saw Felix stan

Early the next morning, Miranda and Felix agreed to meet in the hotel restaurant for breakfast.Miranda wore a tailored gray suit today, paired with crisp trousers. Her hair was pinned neatly at the back of her head, revealing her elegant face. She looked polished, capable, and effortlessly sharp.The hotel was filled with people attending the Young Leaders Forum, and Miranda had only just arrived when a man called out to her.“Dr. Stone? You’re Dr. Miranda Stone, right?”He looked polished and gentlemanly, but when he saw Miranda, he still couldn’t hide his excitement.“And you are?” Miranda asked with a polite smile.“I’m Julian Pierce, from the National Academy of Science and Technology. I’ve admired many of the arguments in your papers,” Dr. Pierce said, extending his hand. His tone was sincere and eager. “Your latest paper on neurodegenerative behavior was especially insightful. I’ve read it several times.”Only then did Miranda understand.She shook his hand.“You’re t

“Besides the conference in Hamilton next week, is there anywhere you especially want to go? Anything you want to eat?” Felix asked.Miranda thought about it.“We could probably set aside half a day to look around. As for food, there’s nothing I’m especially craving. We can just see what looks good.”“Okay. I’ll arrange it,” Felix said. Then he added, “I heard the fall colors at Maple Ridge are beautiful. We can go take a look.”Miranda’s eyes lit up slightly.She had always heard that Maple Ridge was beautiful in the fall. If she could see it for herself, the trip would be worth it.“Okay,” she said with a nod.She tilted her head back to look at him.From where Felix stood, her features looked delicate and refined, her lips soft and full, her skin pale and luminous. In the soft evening light, she looked almost like a painting.Miranda met his heated gaze.Their eyes locked, and for a moment, it felt as if a faint current passed silently between them.“What are you looking a

In business, the deadliest moves were always made quietly.Just then, Miranda’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number. She paused for a moment before picking up.“Hello? Who is this?”“Dr. Stone, this is Melvin Jones. You may not remember me.”Miranda certainly remem

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
