Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1606
The elevator rose.Behind Miranda stood Felix, steady and powerful beside her.With a soft chime, the elevator doors opened.When they entered the conference room, several of DE’s key executives were already waiting.At the long conference table, Felix pulled out the chair beside him and said to Miranda, “Sit here.”Miranda paused.Ben smiled. “Dr. Stone, please.”Everyone turned to look at Miranda.They had all been informed before the meeting. Today was not really about negotiating a strategic partnership. They were simply here to go through the motions.Miranda looked at Felix.He had already taken his seat and was gesturing for her to sit.Miranda sat down beside him.Felix spoke first.“I asked everyone here today mainly for one thing. This concerns a deeper strategic partnership between Dr. Stone’s project and DE. As for the framework agreement and specific details, the relevant teams can follow up later.”Several DE executives nodded in agreement.Ben then took ou

Miranda knew where this might lead, and still, she found herself drawn to him.Life was ultimately just a series of choices. She was already whole on her own. She didn’t need anything from anyone.And yet, her heart still chose him.The next morning, Mia ran over to Felix’s side as soon as she finished washing her face.“Daddy, take me to school.”A short while later, Felix walked in wearing a full suit and took Mia’s hand to bring her to school.Mrs. Young stood by the door, smiling as she watched them leave.“Mr. Gibson is up early today.”Then she turned back to Miranda.“Ma’am, I’ll make you breakfast. Maybe something to help you get your strength back too.”Miranda’s face flushed at once.Had Mrs. Young heard her going over to Felix’s side last night?Had she misunderstood?“Mrs. Young, don’t make anything like that. Just a regular breakfast is fine. I’ll eat and then head to work,” Miranda said.Mrs. Young immediately stopped teasing and smiled.“All right. I’ll go

Felix reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her firmly.Miranda’s body stiffened slightly against him.Above her, his voice came low and certain.“Even if we hadn’t met that summer, I think I still would have fallen in love with you.”Miranda looked up in shock and met his eyes. In them, she saw a seriousness he made no attempt to hide, along with an almost stubborn certainty.“Why are you so sure?” she couldn’t help asking.Felix didn’t answer right away.Instead, he drew back slightly and said in a slow, steady voice, “There’s a kind of light in you. A drive that would have drawn me in no matter what. Even if I hadn’t met you that summer, I would have met you at some medical conference someday. And then I would have pursued you, invested in you, and found a way to make you notice me.”His voice was low in the quiet living room, carrying an almost fated certainty.His fingertips gently brushed the hair beside her ear.“No matter when or how we met, you would have

Felix caught the look in her eyes immediately.He couldn’t read what she was thinking, but her gaze brushed across his heart like a feather. It had a power more unsettling than any direct seduction.His fingers tightened slightly around his wineglass.For some reason, he felt almost nervous, as if he were waiting for her to judge him.“What are you thinking about?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of caution.Miranda didn’t look away. Instead, she asked calmly, “I was wondering where I’d be now, and what I’d be doing, if I had never met you.”Felix’s heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.Was she regretting it?Did she regret meeting him?Miranda lowered her eyes to the wineglass in her hand. Thinking back to that year, she couldn’t help saying, “That summer, I had already agreed to go to Hamilton for an exchange program. If I hadn’t gone to deliver those documents for my dad that day, we never would have run into each other in the hospital hallway. Maybe we never

Those two words were simple, but any adult would understand what they could imply, especially two people who had once been married.Ever since Mia was born, “You awake?” had become something they often texted each other at night.Sometimes Miranda was the one who asked.Sometimes Felix was.Just then, another message came through silently. It was Felix, adding another line.“I didn’t mean it like that. I was just asking. Don’t get the wrong idea.”Miranda’s finger hovered over the screen for a few seconds before she finally replied.“Still awake.”His reply came almost instantly.“Come over for a bit?”Miranda frowned and sent him a question mark.“?”“My living room,” he replied directly.Then another message came in.“Have a drink with me. We can talk about tomorrow’s partnership with DE.”Miranda saw through him at once.She was not eighteen anymore.She was twenty-eight.He couldn’t fool her with that kind of excuse.“A drink is fine. Work can wait. I don’t want

“Okay,” Miranda answered softly.For the rest of the drive, she kept her face turned toward the window, her thoughts too complicated to put into words.Fortunately, the school was not far. When they arrived at the pickup area, plenty of luxury cars and SUVs were already parked there, all waiting for the children to be dismissed.“Mira,” Felix suddenly called her by her nickname.Her heartbeat, which had only just calmed down, faltered again.Felix looked at her seriously.“Will you think about the partnership with DE?”He sounded almost as if he were asking for her permission.Then he let out a quiet sigh.“I won’t push you. I just don’t want you to shut me out completely anymore. Whether it’s as Mia’s father or as someone who wants to support your research.”Of course, if he could have one more role in her life, that would be even better.Miranda pressed her lips together. Her rational side slowly returned.When it came to research, if a better platform appeared, she had t

Leo’s smile froze for a moment. Then he let out a quiet sigh. “Is it because your marriage with Felix ended so badly? Did it make you lose faith in marriage altogether?”Miranda thought for a few seconds before shaking her head. “It is not just that. Yes, the marriage was painful, but the truth is

Melvin, however, kept his face perfectly calm even as irritation churned beneath it. He was a vice president of Gibson Corporation, yet Miranda had publicly shut him down in front of every shareholder. She had given him no room to save face.Felix was not entirely comfortable either, but his voice

“I’m heading to the boardroom,” Coco said.“That’s where the shareholders are meeting. What are you doing in there?” Fiona grabbed her arm.“Miranda is giving the presentation. I’m going in to help.” Coco paused, then lifted a brow at her. “Hold on. You really didn’t know the shareholders came her

Fiona convinced herself that Miranda’s win wasn’t as impressive as it looked. In her mind, Samantha and Dr. Lewis, who had both been close friends of Eugene, had obviously played a role in recommending her for the award. With professors like that behind her, the whole thing had to involve some level
