Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1566
“Get some rest,” Miranda said.She reached for the close button.Outside the elevator, Felix’s voice sounded especially clear in the quiet hallway.“Miranda, I meant everything I said today.”Miranda’s body stiffened slightly. Then she pressed the button and let the elevator doors close without saying anything.*That night, in a mansion in an upscale neighborhood, Wesley had been in a bad mood ever since he got home.He had wanted to call his cousin Susan and complain, but when he remembered that Miranda was her former daughter-in-law, he held himself back.Still, he had embarrassed himself at the shareholder meeting today. At his age, it wasn’t the kind of humiliation he could easily swallow.When Melanie Zimmer saw the look on her husband’s face after he came home, she had asked him several times what was wrong. But Wesley refused to say anything.Now it was already eleven o’clock, and he was still downstairs drinking alone.Melanie put on a robe and came downstairs.“

“Let go,” Miranda said softly.Felix released her hand right away and only took the glass from her. He drank the water slowly.After finishing it, he still looked visibly uncomfortable. His voice was a little hoarse and tired.“Can I lie down here for a while?”“Go ahead,” Miranda said.There was a thin sheen of cold sweat at his temples and between his brows. It didn’t look like he was pretending.Miranda went to the closet in the bedroom and found a blanket for him.Felix lay back on the couch with a throw pillow under his head and closed his eyes.Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.Keith had personally brought the antacids over.He asked with concern, “Is Mr. Gibson all right?”Miranda nodded.“He’s okay.”After closing the door, Miranda poured another glass of warm water and took two pills out of the package.“Take these before you sleep.”Felix slowly opened his eyes.He sat up against the couch, took the pills from Miranda, and swallowed them with the water she

Just as Felix finished the wine, a server passed by with a tray of glasses and nearly bumped into Miranda.Miranda instinctively stepped aside.At that moment, Felix’s hand settled lightly at her waist.The gesture looked casual, but his presence was impossible to ignore. There was a quiet possessiveness in it.Miranda stiffened and looked up at him.Felix’s expression remained perfectly natural.“Are you okay?”To everyone else, it probably looked like an ordinary gesture.But Miranda knew it was not.This man was using his actions to tell her that he had already begun exercising the right he had just fought for.“Mr. Gibson and Dr. Stone really do make a striking pair,” the middle-aged man from earlier said with a flattering smile.Miranda’s heartbeat slipped out of rhythm.After the man left, she still pushed Felix away. At least in public, she didn’t want things between them to look too intimate.Felix was sensible enough to give her space.After all, everything he ha

“I want the same chance James, Mike, and Leo have,” Felix said. His breathing was slightly uneven, and his gaze stayed locked on hers. “Whatever right they have to pursue you, I hope you’ll give me that right too.”He had lowered himself completely.His tone carried an almost humble plea, yet his gaze held hers with such force that she had nowhere to hide.It wasn’t that Miranda hadn’t noticed his feelings lately.She had.But the old wounds were still there, and after three years of living divorced and independent, she had grown used to being on her own.Stepping into a relationship again required courage.“Are you drunk?” Miranda asked, trying to make him come back to his senses.He had drunk most of the bottle of wine just now, and that was on top of what he had drunk at lunch. Miranda couldn’t be sure he was completely sober.“No. I’m perfectly sober.”Felix shook his head, his eyes even more serious than before.“I only need you to nod. Let me back into your world, Mira

“Okay,” Miranda replied with a smile.Felix stood quietly beside her, his emotions unreadable.When the elevator reached the banquet hall, Aiden stepped out first. Thoughtfully, he held the door open for them.Miranda gave him a grateful smile, then stepped out with Felix.As Felix left the elevator, his gaze swept over Aiden. It was deep and imposing.Aiden’s heart tightened, and he immediately understood what Felix meant.Miranda walked into the reception room. Adrian and Coco had already arrived as well.Miranda made her way toward James, who was standing among the crowd. James turned and said something to her, and the two of them greeted each other naturally.Behind her, the irritation and unease in Felix’s chest began to stir again.He hated this feeling of uncertainty.He had never imagined there would come a day when he would become this insecure, like some inexperienced young man worrying over every little thing.“Mr. Gibson,” Coco and Adrian said as they came over t

All three men were brilliant in their own fields. More importantly, what they had with her was clean, new, and untouched by the past.But Felix had disappointed her before. He had hurt her before.The only reason he had been able to rebuild any kind of relationship with her was because of the bond they shared through Mia.Without Mia, things might be different.Felix lowered his gaze. The side of his wineglass reflected the rare trace of insecurity in his eyes.His wealth, his status, and his abilities all seemed to lose their weight in front of her.Because Miranda was already dazzling enough on her own.She was independent enough.She did not need to rely on anyone.Miranda had just finished thinking through a few work matters when she looked up and saw Felix holding his wineglass, staring at her.But his gaze seemed distant, as if he were looking through her at something else entirely.“What’s wrong?” Miranda asked. “Is the food not to your taste?”Felix came back to him

Dr. Lewis went on stage to deliver his part of the presentation. Once he finished, Miranda stepped down and took a seat beside James. She sat quietly, composed and elegant, like a lily settling into the evening light. Ten minutes later, the conference concluded smoothly.Miranda could not leave r

Xena smiled faintly. “She’s doing great. She won’t let me down.”Moments later, a staff member entered the backstage area to inform Fiona that Felix had arrived. She took a deep breath, clutching her script with trembling hands. The countdown to the presentation began.On stage, the host opened wi

Mike set the snacks down on the small table with a smile. “Of course. Is that little tummy hungry?”“Hungry!” Mia stared at the pastries without blinking.Miranda couldn’t help laughing at Mia’s expression. “Say thank you to Uncle Mike before you dig in.”“Thank you, Uncle Mike,” Mia said sweetly

Fiona clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Now that Mr. Gibson himself has spoken, why are you still pretending to be so generous?”Miranda glanced at her, then picked up her phone and dialed Felix’s number, pressing the speaker button.The call connected almost immediately. Felix’s deep, st
