Chapter 803

Penulis: Baby X
Hayden picked up the glass of whiskey that had been poured earlier, tilted his head back, and drained it in one go. He slammed the glass down hard, then looked up at Felix, years of suppressed emotion churning in his eyes.

“Do you have any idea what it’s been like for me to stand on the sidelines and watch all this?” he said hoarsely. “Watching her get hurt. Watching how unfair it all is. I kept my mouth shut only because you’re my best friend.”

As soon as he finished, Hayden poured himself an

    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

    Shortly afterward, a car from the television network arrived to pick Felix up. He had a solo financial interview scheduled.Half an hour later, Mike drove Miranda back to the hotel so she could rest.“You still have three hours before your flight,” Mike said. “Get some rest. I’ll take you to the a

    “That’s enough.” Leo’s expression darkened suddenly. “You have no right to stand here and judge what kind of person Miranda is.”The words hit Sienna like a blow. Tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly.Leo let out a quiet sigh and rubbed his brow, exhaustion showing through. “You should go.

    A voice message came through from the other end. Miranda tapped it open. In the quiet car, Mike’s clear, steady voice carried a calm, magnetic warmth.“All right. I’ll call you later.”Miranda put her phone away and turned on the rear cabin light, digging through her bag to help Mia find what she

    “Uncle Jeff specifically told me to take good care of you,” Mike said with a grin. “I wouldn't dare slack off.”In the parking lot, Xena got into the car to rest, but Felix didn’t get in with her. He stood outside the vehicle, speaking on the phone. By coincidence, Mike’s car was parked directly ac
