All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1281 - Chapter 1290

A shadow passed through Felix’s eyes. He typed back, “All right. I’ll take care of it. And get some rest when you can. Don’t push yourself too hard.”Miranda didn’t reply again. Felix put his phone away, then walked over to Hayden, who was in the middle of talking with guests, and gave his shoulder a light pat.Hayden turned to look at him, and Felix passed on Miranda’s message in an even tone. “She asked me to congratulate you and Ms. Yates for her. She won’t be able to make it in person.”Hayden smiled in understanding. “That’s okay. Her research is too important to put on hold. Once things settle down for her, we can get together another time.”Felix nodded. “I’ll tell her.”Just then, another group of guests came in from the elevator lobby. Felix and Hayden looked up instinctively.Peter had arrived, with Xena on his arm.The red sequined mermaid gown Xena was wearing was impossible to miss under the lights. She clung tightly to Peter’s arm, but the moment she saw the two me

As the two most important groomsmen, Felix and Leo were seated in the front row at the head table. Both of them were genuinely happy for their friend.Xena and Peter were seated a little farther back. Xena’s eyes were fixed on the ballroom doors too, but there was resentment buried in her gaze. She hadn’t forgotten the humiliation Sera had dealt her, and she had no intention of forgetting it now.At that moment, the heavy ballroom doors slowly opened.The bride appeared in a white wedding gown, her arm linked through her father’s as she stepped gracefully into view. Beneath the veil, her delicate features and shy smile could just be made out.As Hayden watched his bride walk toward him one step at a time, his eyes suddenly turned red. Excitement and love lit up his handsome face all at once.Amid the applause and cheers filling the room, the bride kept walking steadily toward the groom waiting for her on the stage.Seated where he was, Felix followed her with his eyes, but his fo

The formal toasting portion of the wedding had been skipped, but later in the evening, Hayden made his way through the room with Sera at his side, thanking guests table by table.A little while later, Mrs. Harris brought her new daughter-in-law over to greet the wives’ circle.Several of the women were already crowding around, eager to shower Sera with compliments.“The bride looks absolutely stunning tonight.”“She really does. That gown was custom-made in Danesia, wasn’t it? It suits you perfectly.”“Mrs. Harris, you are so lucky. You’ve gained such a beautiful daughter-in-law.”Mrs. Harris was dressed in an elegant red gown with intricate detailing. She looked beautifully put together, and tonight, she was clearly in wonderful spirits. “From now on, I hope you’ll all look after Sera.”“Of course we will.”Sera accepted the praise with easy grace, her face glowing with the sweetness of a new bride. “Thank you all so much.”One of the women immediately held out a glass of red

At five that evening, Miranda got a message from Felix saying he was taking Mia to the wedding reception for dinner and asking whether she wanted to come too.Miranda declined and told him to just make sure Mia ate well.That, of course, was exactly the answer Felix had expected.That night, Leo brought Vivian as well. The two little girls sat side by side, each with her guardian nearby, and more than a few people found themselves looking over at them with quiet admiration.Some of the guests were even quietly entertaining the idea of whether their own sons might one day have a chance with one of those girls. If they could somehow become in-laws with the Gibson family or the Lincoln family, their children would never have to struggle the way ordinary people did. It was the kind of wealth that could change a family’s future for generations.That night also gave many people a glimpse of a side of Felix they never saw in business. In the corporate world, he was known for being sharp,

Felix turned to look at him. “What about you? What are you planning to do?”Leo understood immediately what he really meant. He lowered his eyes for a moment, then smiled with quiet acceptance. “For now, I’m going to take care of Vivian and get the company back on track. As for the rest of my personal life, that can wait.”Felix looked at him for a long moment, then said in a low, sincere voice, “There’s something I never properly thanked you for. What happened two years ago.”Leo paused, then understood at once that he meant the night Miranda fell into the pool.Guilt and regret flashed sharply in Felix’s eyes. “If you hadn’t jumped in and gotten to her first—”“That was what anyone should have done,” Leo said quietly. “Anyone in that situation would have.”Under the moonlight, the two men held each other’s gaze.Felix swallowed once. “I’ll never forget it.”Leo gave a small nod. Some things didn’t need to be said outright. Some bonds were understood without words.That night
