Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1506
Even in casual clothes, Mike still carried himself like a soldier.He stood straight and steady, with a quiet toughness that seemed carved into him after years of discipline and service.Compared to before, there was something deeper in his expression now. It was the clarity of someone who had brushed against death and come back with his sense of duty even stronger than before.When he saw Miranda, a smile appeared on his face.“You made it.”“Sorry. I hit rush-hour traffic,” Miranda said with a smile as she pulled out the chair. “Have you been waiting long?”“Not long. I just got here.” Mike chuckled softly and handed her the menu. “Take a look and see what you want.”Miranda took the menu, but her gaze drifted back to him.The buzz cut made his already sharp features stand out even more. With his clean, defined jawline, he looked even more ruggedly handsome than before.Mike noticed her looking and reached up to touch his hair. Then he turned his head slightly to show her th

Miranda said to Felix, who was standing beside her, “I’m going to take this call.”Before she could step away, Felix had already walked over to the nearby lawn to give her some privacy.He looked toward the sunset in the distance, but his attention stayed on Miranda.Miranda answered the call.“Hello, Mike.”Mike’s clear voice came through the phone, calm and steady as always.“Miranda, I’m in Atlantis City. I’m heading back to Hamilton tomorrow, and the day after that, I’ll return to the base. Before I leave, I’d like to take you all out for dinner.”By “you all,” he meant Miranda and Felix.Miranda paused.“You’re going back to the base so soon?”“Yes. It’s time for me to go back,” Mike said. “Don’t worry. I’ve fully recovered.”“All right. Then let’s have dinner tonight,” Miranda said.She did want to see him before he left.Once Mike returned to the base, it might be months, or even a year, before they saw each other again.“Good. I’ll send you the restaurant address

In the darkness, every sense seemed amplified.But what kept replaying in Felix’s mind wasn’t the difficult situation in Norland.It was Miranda.They had only spent a few brief moments together when she handed him the medication, but in the middle of the night, even that was enough to stir something deep inside him, a long-buried heat that had been quiet for far too long.Felix realized what he needed right now was not a sleeping pill.It was a cold shower.He needed to calm down.He walked into the bathroom and turned on the cold water.Even though he had already showered, his body still needed the icy water to wash over it.He knew he had lost some control tonight.But when it came to Miranda, his self-control always seemed far too fragile.Cold water slid down the hard lines of his body.He closed his eyes.Twenty minutes later, the medication finally seemed to take effect. Exhaustion swept over him, and he finally forced himself to close his eyes.*Two days later,

Miranda’s brows drew together slightly.They were both adults. They both understood exactly what Felix was really asking.Miranda met his gaze calmly and refused just as calmly.“No.”Her answer was simple and direct.The anticipation on Felix’s face froze for a moment. Under the elevator lights, the trace of embarrassment on his face was impossible to miss.He lowered his eyes and stayed silent for two seconds.Then he looked up and gave her a faint smile.“I’m sorry. That was too forward of me.”His gaze softened.“Get some rest, then. Good night.”“Good night,” Miranda replied.Felix stepped out of the elevator.Then he turned back to look at her.As the elevator doors slowly closed, their eyes met again.His gaze was deep and intense, filled with emotions Miranda didn’t want to examine.She held his gaze for two seconds, then turned her head away.Felix watched the elevator continue up to the twenty-eighth floor.The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.It seemed

A moment later, someone brought in the fruit.Miranda sat down and chatted with Mrs. Gibson Sr. for a while. Mrs. Gibson Sr. had been to a few auctions recently and had picked up several new pieces for her collection, all of them valuable antiques.By the time they finished the fruit, it was already nine.Sienna came home around then.When she heard that Mia wanted to stay at the Gibson estate for another night, she nodded happily.“Sure. Let Aunt Sienna take a shower first, and then I’ll come down and help you finish it.”Miranda saw that it was getting late. She still had several experiments to run tomorrow, so she stood up.“Grandma, I should head home too.”“Perfect. Take Felix with you,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said casually.Felix seemed to have been waiting for those words.His dark eyes turned toward Miranda.“Would that be all right?”Before Miranda could answer, Mrs. Gibson Sr. gave Felix a look.“Miranda is tired. You can drive.”Could Miranda really say no?They live

The next morning, Miranda had a heavy workload.Sienna called and asked her to come to the Gibson estate for dinner, but Miranda had to stay late at the lab until eight, so she turned her down.She ended up eating in the cafeteria.James happened to be there too, so they talked about work for a while. The civilian side of James’s project was moving along smoothly, but Miranda could also tell that he had lost some weight lately.She felt bad for him.Ever since his mother passed away, there had been no one by his side to really look after him or check whether he was taking care of himself.“James, have you thought about dating lately?” Miranda asked, taking the chance to feel him out.James was turning thirty this year, after all.James pushed up his glasses with a light chuckle.“What’s this? Do you have someone in mind for me?”Miranda laughed softly and shook her head.“No. Almost everyone around me is already married, so I can’t really help there. I just mean, if you meet

“Wow! Mr. Gibson mentioned you in the interview!” Coco suddenly exclaimed.Several pairs of eyes in the cafeteria immediately turned toward Miranda. No one had expected that even after the divorce, Felix would still speak of her with such admiration and support.Miranda narrowed her eyes slightly

“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

Mia’s voice broke the quiet inside the car.“I had something I needed to take care of,” Felix said. His voice was slightly hoarse.“You’re not allowed to leave Mom and me overseas and come back by yourself again,” Mia complained. She had not been upset at the time, but the more she thought about i

Miranda didn’t like owing anyone favors, so she wanted to settle things as soon as possible.“Sounds good. I’ll pick you up at the DE entrance at eleven thirty,” Leo said.“There’s no need. I can drive myself,” she replied.“It’s no trouble. I’ll already be nearby,” Leo insisted.“Okay.” Miranda
