Chapter 411

작가: Baby X
Miranda’s fingers hovered over the screen for a long time, but she couldn’t bring herself to reply. Finally, she set her phone down on the nightstand. Her exhaustion had faded, replaced by a sharp clarity.

She thought of Mayor Lloyd and Mrs. Lloyd, of Mrs. Lloyd Sr., and even of the secretary of state. They all cared deeply for Mike and wanted what was best for him. They had always treated her kindly and respectfully.

And because they were good people, Miranda knew she had to make a clean, fir

    Miranda nodded.The memory came back to her too.It had been shortly after they got married. Felix had been worried she would feel too cooped up, so he had bought a private suite at the resort, just so she could come here and rest whenever she wanted.The first time they came, Miranda had worn a long white dress and run barefoot across the beach. Felix had followed behind her, carrying her shoes.That night, the two of them had sat on the sand, leaning against each other as they looked up at a sky full of stars.It had been impossibly romantic.“I remember,” Miranda said, turning to look at him with a smile. “We were so much younger then.”Felix smiled.“We’re not old now.”Miranda laughed despite herself.“Why are you so sensitive about age?”Felix tightened his hold on her hand. His gaze rested on her face, gentle and helpless all at once.“I’m not sensitive about age. I’m afraid you’ll decide you don’t want me again.”Miranda froze for a second, then laughed softly and

    Miranda couldn’t help laughing.“We’re at this age, and we’re still going on dates?”Felix took her hand and answered in a low voice, “Early thirties is the prime of life. And you’re only getting more beautiful.”Miranda was amused despite herself and tried to pull her hand back.“Stop sweet-talking me.”But Felix tightened his hold, brought her hand to his lips, and kissed it.“Please do me the honor, Dr. Stone.”Miranda thought about it for a moment, but she couldn’t think of anywhere in particular she wanted to go.“Where do you want to go?”“If you don’t have somewhere specific in mind, I’ll choose,” Felix said.Miranda looked at him, then nodded.“Okay. You choose.”After Felix’s car left the congested downtown streets, it merged onto the highway leading toward the coast.Miranda watched the beautiful sunset in the distance, and old memories slowly rose in her mind.She could guess where he was taking her.It was the bay resort just over sixty miles outside the city

    “Felix…”Miranda reached up and pushed lightly at him.“Mm?”His lips had already moved to her collarbone, his answer muffled against her skin.“I’m meeting people tomorrow.”Felix lifted his head.In the darkness, she couldn’t make out his expression, but she could feel him smiling.“Okay,” he said. “I’ll try to avoid anywhere obvious.”Before Miranda could argue, he kissed her again.Outside the window, the night deepened. Inside the room, everything slowly fell into darkness. All that remained were their breathing and their heartbeats.And his back, rising and falling like waves in the dim light.Much later, Miranda lay weakly in Felix’s arms.His kisses had turned gentle, soothing, and reluctant.“Sleep,” he murmured. “It’s Saturday tomorrow. You can sleep in.”Miranda was too tired to even open her eyes.She only answered with a faint, muffled sound.Felix let out a soft sigh and pulled her into his arms, holding her as they fell asleep together.The next mornin

    Miranda stood at the vanity, applying face cream. Curious, she glanced at Felix through the mirror.“Which specialists?”Felix walked over and named a few people.Miranda’s eyes widened slightly.Any one of those names would have been enough to make waves in the medical field. One was a pioneer in neuroscience. Another was a leader in gene therapy. There was even a National Academy member who almost never made public appearances anymore.“How did you get them to agree?” Miranda couldn’t help asking.Felix smiled.He came up behind her, braced both hands on either side of the vanity, and leaned close around her.“I have my ways,” he said, looking at her through the mirror.His lips brushed her earlobe.“I’m not chairman of the Chamber of Commerce for nothing.”Miranda didn’t move away.She looked at him in the mirror and suddenly didn’t know what to say.He knew that what she needed was not just money.Money could buy equipment. It could hire talent. It could keep her lab

    They had only been on the road for a short while when they hit a red light.Felix reached over and took Miranda’s hand.“Why are your hands so cold? Did you skip dinner?”“I ate in the cafeteria,” Miranda said.Then she rubbed her hands together and realized that late fall had really arrived.“Next time you work late, I’ll have someone send dinner to your office,” Felix said.He was worried she hadn’t eaten enough at the cafeteria.Miranda shook her head.“Don’t worry. I don’t eat much at night anyway.”Felix glanced at her but didn’t say anything else. He simply held her hand a little tighter.Miranda leaned against the window, her thoughts still on the work from earlier.The data from today was too important. She needed time to process it.Then something occurred to her, and she turned to look at Felix beside her.If he hadn’t gotten her such an important piece of equipment, her experiment might have been delayed by a year, maybe two, or even longer.In this era, scient

    Miranda glanced at her phone, then pulled her thoughts back to work.Thanks to the analyzer Felix had purchased, the parameters had already been calibrated. She urgently needed to move into the next stage of research.She put on her lab coat, walked into the lab, pulled on a pair of gloves, and went straight to the new equipment.For the next two hours, she and Adrian threw themselves completely into the experiment.The analyzer was even more precise than expected, and the data it captured was extremely accurate.At four in the afternoon, Miranda was analyzing a set of data when her fingers suddenly froze.On the screen, one of the curves showed an unusual fluctuation.Miranda quickly typed on the keyboard and pulled up more data for comparison. Her eyes stayed fixed on the screen, unblinking, and for a moment, she almost forgot to breathe.Ten minutes later, she suddenly stood up.Her chair rolled back behind her.“Adrian,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “Come look

    When it came to Felix’s love life, Miranda no longer cared. The only condition was that he shouldn’t flaunt it in front of Mia.Miranda had recently realized that Mia was no longer a three-year-old. She was becoming more aware and more sensitive.Clenching her fists, Miranda decided it was better

    Felix’s gaze lingered on Miranda, silently asking whether she had told Mia about the divorce.Miranda met his eyes for a few seconds. After six years of marriage, Felix could still read her look instantly.“Your mom’s been busy with work lately. Let’s let her rest,” Felix said gently to Mia.“Oka

    Felix turned, the afternoon sunlight falling across him, but it did nothing to soften the forbidding aura that kept others at a distance.Just then, Gavin knocked and stepped inside. “Mr. Gibson, it’s time for your meeting.”Xena froze for a moment as Felix walked out of the office. Gavin came ove

    Miranda’s expression cooled. “I don’t have time.”Sensing the tension, Ben quickly excused himself. “I’ll step out for the restroom. You two go ahead and talk.” With that, he slipped away.Felix frowned. “I heard that Keith Logan, former vice president of Lincoln Corporation, is now working under
