Penulis: Baby X
“Thank you, Vivian.” Mia beamed as she accepted the flowers. The two little girls hugged each other happily.

“You did an amazing job tonight,” Leo said, smiling warmly. “I’m very proud of you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Leo,” Mia replied politely.

Miranda also nodded gratefully. “Thank you for the flowers.”

Leo’s gaze softened as he looked at her. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s nothing.”

Then he added, with a tone that carried a deeper meaning, “To me, Mia and Vivian feel like my own kids.”

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1191

    After more than an hour of handing things over, Miranda was still distracted by everything on her mind. When she pushed open the door, her steps stopped.The first thing she saw was Felix asleep on the couch, still fully dressed.Miranda frowned slightly, but she still softened her footsteps and went back to her desk. She still had a few documents to finish, so for the moment, she had no choice but to stay in the same room with him.Sunlight from the window happened to fall across him, wrapping his whole body in a soft glow. Stripped of the sharp edge he wore in the business world, he looked unexpectedly quiet, almost childlike.Miranda was typing away when the man on the couch suddenly let out the faintest murmur.“Miranda... don’t go.”Her fingers froze over the keyboard for a few seconds. She looked up toward the couch.Felix hadn’t woken up. His brows were drawn tight, as if he were trapped in some bad dream.The moment threw off her thoughts. Miranda frowned at the sleepin

    Felix was very good at hiding every emotion behind a calm exterior, so good that no one could ever truly read him.“Okay. I’ll go back to the brain-computer team tomorrow,” Miranda said at last with a nod.Felix was quiet for a moment, then pressed the issue anyway. “Wrap up the handoff today and go back this afternoon.”Confusion flickered in Miranda’s eyes. Was he really in that much of a hurry? No matter how she looked at it, something about his behavior today felt off.Not only had he suddenly launched a new project, he had also been unusually specific about the direction of the research.That, combined with Mike’s disappearance, made a thought flash through her mind.Could it be...No. That couldn’t be right.Miranda shook her head and forced the thought away. Mike was out on a mission. How could this research project possibly have anything to do with him?Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the name on the screen, and her breathing caught.It was Justin.Felix’s

    With that, Mia ran to open the door. Gigi was the first one out, and sure enough, Felix was standing there on the other side.Felix bent down to rub Gigi’s head, then caught Mia as she threw herself at him.His gray-white hair looked slightly messy in the morning light, and the exhaustion in his eyes was impossible to miss. He had barely slept all night. After rushing back from Hamilton to Atlantis City, he had arrived just in time to take Mia to school.“Daddy, your eyes are so red,” Mia said in surprise. His eyes were bloodshot enough to startle her.Felix gently took her little hand. “Daddy was working really late last night.”Standing in the doorway, Miranda noticed how tired he looked too. She spoke up on her own. “I’ll take Mia to school. You should go get some rest.”“Let’s go together. I can rest at the lab later. I still have an important meeting,” Felix said, shaking his head.Miranda had no choice but to say, “I’ll drive.” In the state he was in, he clearly shouldn’t

    “All right. I’ll have my team start immediately,” Felix said with a nod.“Miranda is one of the lead researchers on the brain-computer side,” Dr. Zeller added.Something suddenly came back to Justin. It was the last message Mike had sent before he left.“Dad, Miranda and I are officially together now. She’s a wonderful girl, and I hope you’ll give us your blessing.”Justin pulled himself back to the present. After a long, heavy pause, he said, “Miranda and Mike only made things official two weeks ago. If she finds out what happened to him, it’s going to hit her hard.” He paused, then continued, “Felix, I have a difficult favor to ask. For the sake of the research, I want the truth kept from her for now.”Felix frowned slightly. “You mean...?”“I’ll tell her Mike is away on a classified assignment and won’t be able to contact anyone for a while. Once the brain-computer research starts showing progress, we can help her come to terms with the truth little by little.”Felix was si

    The night was deep and heavy.At the airport in the early hours of the morning, Felix strode quickly toward the Gulfstream G650 waiting for him. Gavin hurried along behind him, already on the phone arranging pickup details in Hamilton.Once inside the cabin, Gavin chose a seat close enough to be available, but not so close as to intrude. He quietly watched Felix’s expression.It was grim in a way he almost never saw.For the moment, he had no idea what had happened in Hamilton.At two in the morning, the Gulfstream G650 touched down smoothly at Hamilton International Airport. The cabin door opened, and Felix stepped down the stairs. Waiting beside the plane were three black sedans, with several middle-aged men in black suits standing beside them.“Mr. Gibson, this way.” The man in front stepped forward, his tone respectful.Gavin instinctively moved to follow, but two other men blocked his path with outstretched arms.“Sorry. Mr. Gibson only.”Felix looked back and gave Gavin

    Miranda nodded. “It does.”“Aunt Sienna drew it with me,” Mia said happily.Just then, Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s voice drifted down from upstairs. “Miranda’s here?”“Grandma,” Miranda called back in greeting.“Miranda, are you in a hurry to leave? If not, come upstairs and sit with me for a little while,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said.Miranda glanced at the time. “Another day, Grandma. It’s getting late, and Mia still has school tomorrow.”“All right. Sienna, walk them out for me,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said gently, without pressing.“I’ll take her out,” Susan said, then came over and took Mia’s hand.When they reached the car, Miranda helped Mia into the back seat. As she turned around, she saw Susan standing there with tears running down her face. Miranda paused.“Mrs. Gibson, what is it?”“Miranda...” Susan covered her face, her voice breaking. “Over the years, I did too many things that hurt you. I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I can’t forgive myself either. I don’t even know how to make

    “Don’t laugh. I’m being serious,” Sophie protested, her cheeks puffing out in annoyance.Miranda pressed her fingers to her lips to hide a smile. “Okay, I won’t laugh. Just take a breath and deal with things as they come.”“You should bring Mrs. Young with you. She can help keep an eye on Mia,” So

    The two of them spent the quiet afternoon in the hospital room reading, occasionally talking about work.Around two o’clock, Miranda started to feel sleepy. She rested her head on her hand, her eyes half-closed, when the door suddenly swung open.Felix walked in first, wearing a black trench coat

    Miranda let out a cold laugh. “No one forced him to be here.”With or without Felix, the meeting would have gone exactly the same.Coco glanced at her, surprised by how sharp Miranda became whenever Felix was mentioned. She kept quiet after that. Clearly the rumors about Miranda wanting to reconci

    Miranda’s car pulled out first. Felix had to make a left turn, but he kept his eyes on her taillights. His grip on the steering wheel tightened.At the cafe, Miranda met Sophie for their usual catch-up. They talked about work and life, and the conversation eventually shifted to Miranda’s recent acc
