Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1654
Miranda froze for several seconds.She didn’t even check right away.But she knew that even if Felix really was crying from grief, it could be because of Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s death.For the past few days, he had looked indestructible in front of everyone. Maybe that had only trapped all his grief inside, leaving him with nowhere to let it out.No matter what the reason was, Miranda’s heart was thrown into chaos.“Felix, don’t do this.”She slowly lifted her head and saw that his eyes were closed. Beneath his thick lashes, there was a clear trace of tears on his face. Even now, the corners of his eyes were still damp.Miranda hesitated, then raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of his eye with her thumb.“I’m sorry for your loss,” she said softly.Felix opened his dark, deep-set eyes and looked at her.A sharp flicker of resentment passed through his gaze.Clearly, that wasn’t what had hurt him.He pulled her tightly into his arms again and buried his face even deeper ag

Miranda pulled her hand back.She looked at him without looking away.“Yes,” she said. “I meant it.”Felix’s throat moved.Pain flashed through his eyes.His body was burning with fever, but his heart felt cold and heavy, as if every beat dragged pain through him.“Let’s get your fever down first,” Miranda said as she wrapped the cord around the hair dryer and walked toward the bathroom. “We can talk after you’re feeling better.”When she came back, Felix was still sitting there.He hadn’t moved at all.Clearly, he was brooding.“Why?” Felix looked up at her, refusing to let it go. “There has to be a reason you said all that to me, right?”Miranda frowned slightly, but her voice softened.“Felix, not now. Let’s wait until your fever goes down and you’ve had some rest, okay?”Felix suddenly stood.His tall frame moved toward her, bringing a quiet pressure with it. His voice was bitter and self-mocking.“You think I care about a fever right now?”Miranda thought about how

If Felix hadn’t used every trick and every calculated move he had, perhaps the man standing beside Miranda now would have been Mike, Leo, or James.Any one of them would have been a good choice.They were all outstanding men who respected her, and none of them made any secret of their feelings for her. Miranda could have chosen any of them and been happy.Only Felix had become the one who held her back.He didn’t deny that over the past three years, he had fought and schemed for a place beside her.Without all those calculations and all that effort, how else could he have stood beside her again?How else could he have had the chance to pursue her all over again?Warm water poured down over him.Felix braced one hand against the tile wall and let the water run over his head, as if trying to cool down a mind that had long since stopped being rational.It took Mrs. Young only about fifteen minutes to make the soup.Miranda carried them over to the sitting area on the second floo

Guilt rushed through Miranda at once.It looked like he had already been running a fever last night.Which meant he had spent the entire night burning up.“You have a fever,” Miranda said. “I’m taking you to the hospital. Or I’ll call Gavin and have him take you.”Felix pushed himself up from the couch.The next second, Miranda was pulled into a burning-hot embrace.He held her tightly and said in a low, breathless voice, almost like a stubborn child, “I’m not going anywhere.”Miranda was trapped in his arms, worried and anxious. She patted the back of his hand.“Let go of me first. You need to go to the hospital like this.”Felix didn’t let go.Instead, he tightened his arms and buried his face deep against her shoulder. His breath, hot from the fever, brushed against the side of her neck.His voice was hoarse.“I’m not going. As long as you’re here with me, I’m not going anywhere.”Miranda was filled with guilt and regret.She had chosen the wrong time to say those thin

Miranda didn’t go back.But once she returned to her room, her mind cleared a little, and she realized she had chosen the wrong moment to say those things to him.Today was the day they had buried Mrs. Gibson Sr.She shouldn’t have said all of that when he was at his most vulnerable, when he was still drowning in grief.She wanted to apologize, but then again, it no longer seemed necessary.If she wanted him to start a new life, then this was how it had to be.Her right hand, the one Felix had pressed against his face, still seemed to feel hot.Miranda frowned.Had that really been his normal body temperature?Or was he running a fever?The thought immediately caught hold of her.She tried to remember Felix’s condition earlier. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something had been wrong. He had looked unwell. His emotions had been unstable. And he had knelt there like that.But he was an adult.If he was sick, he would go to the hospital.If he was exhausted

Even though Miranda hadn’t pushed him away, Felix could feel it.In her heart, she had pushed him away again.It was as if she had decided she didn’t want him anymore.Miranda took a step back, putting some distance between them. But Felix’s arms remained around her, keeping her within reach, as if he couldn’t bear to let her go.Miranda drew in a deep breath. Her gaze didn’t waver as she looked into his eyes.“Felix, you’re a good man. I’ve seen everything you’ve done lately. But I’ve thought it through. We’re not getting remarried, and we’re not getting back together.”Felix’s throat moved.His pupils tightened, and a flash of vulnerability crossed his eyes.“Why?” His voice was strained. “Why can’t we be together again? We don’t have to get remarried. I told you before, the paperwork doesn’t matter. What matters is us.”He drew a shaky breath and continued, “As long as we’re together, that’s enough.”Miranda suddenly pushed him away and took another step back. She folded h

The next morning, Miranda received a call from the vice president of the Jenkins Foundation. They hoped she would deliver a speech at the launch of their new talent development initiative. After all, it was a charitable project she had personally funded. Miranda had planned to decline, but the pro

That afternoon, Miranda spent two hours in the lab. Adrian asked her several technical questions, and she answered each one patiently. He still remembered what Fiona had done last time, and for a moment, he wanted to warn Miranda to be careful around her.“Miranda, how are things between you and

Sienna let out a quiet sigh. “There’s no point being upset now. Miranda has already stolen the spotlight.”Xena shot her a sharp look. “Sienna.”That was enough to make Sienna fall silent. Xena turned back to Fiona and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t lose heart. There will be other chances.”B

Xena’s expression tightened as well. Hayden leaned in to explain, “Felix is discussing work matters with Miranda.”Sienna bit her lip. “What kind of ‘important work’ has to be discussed right now?”Just then, staff members began seating a row of senior guests in the front. It was clear that the
