“I saw it,” Mia said, planting her hands on her hips. “You were kissing.”Felix laughed softly. Seeing Miranda’s awkward expression, he said to Mia, “Yes. Daddy was kissing Mommy.”Mia ran over happily and squeezed herself between them. Then she lifted her little face and asked, “Does that mean we’ll never be apart again?”Felix picked her up and settled her on his lap, then reached out and wrapped an arm around Miranda’s shoulders.“That’s right. We won’t be apart anymore. Mommy and I are getting back together.”Mia suddenly held out both hands, taking Miranda’s hand with one and Felix’s with the other. Then she brought their hands together.“Then you have to pinky promise.”Miranda looked at Mia’s serious little face, and her heart softened.Felix hooked his pinky around Miranda’s. Mia wrapped both of her hands around theirs and recited solemnly, “Pinky promise. No take-backs.”Felix smiled and looked at Miranda.Miranda, a little shy, looked at Mia instead.Satisfied, Mia

That evening, Mrs. Young made a big dinner.She watched as Miranda placed food on Mia’s plate. When Mia came across something she didn’t like, she quietly pushed it over to Felix, and he ate it with a smile.Watching the three of them interact so naturally, Mrs. Young immediately understood that something had changed between Miranda and Felix.At last, she quietly let out a breath of relief.After all this waiting and hoping, it looked like Miranda and Felix might finally find their way back to each other.After dinner, Miranda went upstairs to work, while Mia went over to Felix’s place to play.Miranda was reading through some documents when her phone rang.She glanced at the screen and saw that Adrian was calling.“Hi, Adrian.”“Miranda, we’ve run into an issue with the lab equipment,” Adrian said. “It’s still stuck at customs, and the paperwork hasn’t cleared yet. Do you think you could ask Mr. Gibson to help make a few calls?”Felix had bought the equipment for Miranda’s

The next day, Miranda woke naturally around noon.When she opened her eyes, the curtains in front of the windows hadn’t been fully drawn. A strip of golden sunlight slipped through the gap, bright enough to tell her it was already midday.She turned over.The space beside her was empty, but the sheets still held a little warmth.The soreness in her waist reminded her all too clearly of how reckless the past two nights had been.Two nights.One whole box.He really was…Miranda buried her face in the pillow, her ears burning.Just then, she heard footsteps from the direction of the bathroom.Miranda immediately turned onto her side again and pretended to be asleep.The mattress beside her dipped.Felix’s scent surrounded her, clean and fresh from the shower.“Awake?” His voice sounded beside her ear, carrying a smile. “Want to sleep a little longer?”Miranda’s voice came muffled from the pillow.“No. We should get ready and head back.”Felix’s lips brushed her earlobe, h

During all those years when Miranda had known nothing about Mia’s genetic condition, Felix had been protecting them in his own way.From beginning to end, he had never crossed the one line Miranda couldn’t accept.And that was what gave them a chance to begin again.Felix rubbed his forehead lightly against hers, one arm wrapped around her waist. He buried his face in the curve of her neck, like a large, wounded dog begging to be forgiven. All his claws were tucked away now. All he wanted was to be loved, touched, and trusted.“From now on, I’ll tell you everything. I won’t hide anything from you. If I ever do it again, then let me…”Before he could finish, Miranda covered his mouth with her hand and stopped him in a low voice.“Don’t say things like that.”Felix lifted his eyes to hers.Then he kissed her palm, slowly and tenderly.Miranda’s heart softened.“Okay,” she said softly. “Let’s try again.”Felix froze for a second, as if he could not quite believe she had answere

“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

To hear what Haley might say, Sienna pretended to take a phone call and quietly slipped behind a nearby tree.Leo turned around just as Haley approached. His shoulders tightened. Even though her attitude had softened recently, he still could not predict her thoughts. He had no idea how she truly fe

“You!” Xena snapped, glaring at Miranda. “You really pick your friends well. You’re all the same kind of trash.”Miranda let out a low, amused laugh. “Did my friend say anything that wasn’t true?”“No but Felix and I are in love.” Xena lifted her chin in satisfaction. “If you have the ability, go

Sophie drove, which gave Miranda the chance to actually relax for a moment. About thirty minutes later, the car pulled into the parking lot of a golf club that looked more like a luxury auto showcase. High-end cars lined the entrance, and attendants came forward immediately to open their doors.A r

Hayden glanced at Miranda. Ever since he had privately warned her that night, she had kept her distance from him. Still, he took the initiative to speak first.“Hi, Ms. Stone.”Miranda gave a brief nod and ignored the other two. She turned to Leo. “You go ahead and catch up with them. I’m heading
