Chapter 495

Auteur: Baby X
Leo had barely reached them when Sophie grinned. “Mr. Lucas, you play golf?”

Leo nodded with calm confidence. “I do.”

“Perfect. Teach Miranda, please. She hasn’t managed to hit a single ball.” Sophie chirped.

Miranda’s cheeks warmed. “Sophie!” Then she turned to Leo, surprised. “What are you doing here too?”

Leo looked at her with a slight, knowing smile. “I just happened to be in the area and wanted to relax.”

Sophie nearly burst out laughing. There was no way she believed that. But honest

    Under the lights, Felix’s gaze was far too direct.The desire still darkening his eyes was impossible to miss. When he reached toward her, Miranda slapped his hand away.“Don’t push your luck.”With that, she turned and went back to organizing the shelves.Behind her, Felix pressed his lips together in a smile. His eyes, however, were full of warmth.He obediently got up and helped her.“Can you have an electrician come by and check the wiring?” Miranda asked, looking up at him.Felix nodded.“Of course. I’ll have someone come by tomorrow.”Miranda was tired too. She looked at the two remaining boxes of books and said, “Let’s stop here for tonight. We can finish tomorrow.”Although they had both eaten a little earlier, Felix still asked, “Do you want to grab something downtown before we head back?”Miranda nodded and didn’t refuse.The restaurant downtown wasn’t crowded at this hour, but the atmosphere was lovely. A slow blues song was playing in the background, soft and re

    One soft call of her name.Before Miranda could react, a large hand cupped her face.The next second, Felix kissed her hard.His warm lips pressed against hers, sending a shock through her. The kiss felt restrained, and yet full of desperate longing.Miranda let out a shaky breath and instinctively raised her hands to push him away.But his hand came around the back of her head, firm and possessive, leaving her no room to retreat.The study was already silent and pitch-dark. Now the air seemed to turn stifling, hot, and unbearably intimate.Darkness sharpened every sense.Miranda’s thoughts had already been thrown into chaos the moment she learned he was the real investor. Now, under the force of his relentless kisses, her self-control began to crumble completely.Felix kissed her hard and urgently.His solid arms and broad chest caged her in, surrounding her with heat and desire. Her whole body tingled, and she could barely think.But even so, she knew he had gone too far.

    The promise was so brazen, yet so humble, that Miranda couldn’t help glaring at him.“Who said I wanted to hit you or yell at you? I’m not that unreasonable.”Felix’s smile deepened.“Then sentence me to a lifetime of being your personal handyman. I’ll organize your study, move heavy boxes, walk the dog, pick up Mia, and…”His voice dipped slightly.“Take care of all your needs.”There was a double meaning in his words.They were both adults. Of course she understood.Miranda glared at him again.“Eat your lunch.”“Okay. I’ll eat.”Felix picked up his fork, but the first thing he did was place more food on her plate.“After lunch, we’ll go to the new house and finish organizing your things. Mia can stay at my mom’s place tonight.”“Okay,” Miranda said with a nod.After lunch, Miranda went home to continue packing.At four in the afternoon, Gavin and the others came over to help load the boxes into the car. Miranda rode with them to the new house.Once they arrived, Gavi

    For this kind of heavy lifting, Miranda had to admit it was easier to have another pair of hands.She stopped insisting on doing everything herself.“Then I’ll leave it to you,” she said.Felix’s heart gave a small jolt.To be needed by her, even for something this small, felt like a reward.This was something he could easily have sent someone else to do, but he didn’t want anyone else handling it.He wanted to do it himself.He unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing strong forearms.Miranda stood to the side and watched as he wrapped the computer tower and monitor separately in protective padding, then carefully placed them into a proper moving box.She watched him quietly for a while.Somewhere in her chest, something softened without warning.She turned and went downstairs, then came back up with a bottle of water.Felix had already sealed the box.When he looked up and saw Miranda holding out the water, he smiled and took it from her.He twisted off

    The next morning, Mrs. Young returned at eight and began packing up the everyday items around the apartment.When Miranda came downstairs, Mrs. Young couldn’t help studying her carefully. Miranda looked perfectly normal.Mrs. Young thought to herself that things like this really couldn’t be rushed.That day, Miranda stayed home and packed with Mrs. Young.They didn’t need to move the large pieces of furniture. They only had to pack the things Miranda and Mia used day to day.At ten in the morning, Miranda was busy packing books from the shelves.She couldn’t reach the top row, and just as she was thinking about getting a chair to stand on, a low male voice sounded behind her with a hint of amusement.“Need help?”Miranda froze, then turned and saw Felix standing in the doorway.“No.”After saying that, she stepped onto the chair and reached for the books on the top shelf herself.Felix immediately walked over and stood beside her, taking the books as she handed them down.M

    Felix suddenly stood.Miranda thought he was finally leaving, but instead, he walked around behind her.Before she could react, his hands settled gently on her shoulders and began massaging her neck and shoulders.Miranda’s body stiffened instantly. Almost by instinct, she wanted to pull away.“Don’t move. Relax,” Felix said softly.His pressure was neither too light nor too heavy. It was just right, easing the tension from her shoulders.Miranda felt some of the tightness loosen.In the end, she relaxed her tense nerves. Her brows drew together slightly, and the words of refusal caught in her throat.They had once been intimate in every way.But three years had passed, and what had once felt familiar now felt strange.Still, after all the misunderstandings between them had been cleared up, Miranda no longer disliked him.She simply needed time to get used to this kind of touch again.Miranda closed her eyes and let his hands move over her shoulders.The room was quiet, wi

    Miranda forced down the simmering anger in her chest and stepped out of the elevator. Coco was hurrying toward the conference room. When she spotted Miranda, she called out, “Miranda, need me to get you a coffee?”Miranda gave her a quick smile. “That would be great. Thanks.”“Oh, come on, no ne

    In the quiet exhibition hall, Miranda’s phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced at the screen and immediately declined the call without hesitation.Leo turned to look at her. “You’re not answering?”“Just spam,” Miranda replied casually.A few seconds later, a message came in. Miranda glanced again. I

    Miranda’s expression darkened. Anger surged through her stomach and up her chest. What sort of manipulation was Felix trying to pull now?Felix narrowed his eyes slightly. “You might want to think it over. And to be clear, I am not forcing you to sign.”Miranda let out a dry laugh. “I don’t care w

    Leo was taken aback. “Mom, you reached out to her first?”“I just gave her a call.”“Mom, try not to impose on her like that again. She's very busy with work.” Leo reminded her quickly.On the other end of the line, Haley could clearly hear how protective he sounded. She was surprised. Since when
