All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1401 - Chapter 1410

By the time they got home, it was already nine o’clock.At the door, Mia ran inside first. Miranda turned back to Felix.“Thanks for tonight.”Felix looked at the polite distance in her expression and gave a faint smile.“You don’t have to thank me. Good night.”With that, he turned and left first.Miranda went inside and closed the door behind her. Mrs. Young had already taken Mia upstairs for her bath.Miranda set down her bag when her phone rang.It was an unfamiliar number.“Hello?”“Miranda, it’s Uncle Raymond.”The warm, familiar voice immediately lifted her spirits.“Uncle Raymond. How have you been?”“I’m doing well. I actually have a favor to ask. My great-nephew just graduated from medical school. He’s an excellent young man, and I was hoping you might consider taking him on for a six-month internship.”Miranda was pleasantly surprised.Her new lab was still in the early planning stages, and she needed capable people. Raymond Adams had been her father’s close f

Inside the cafe, Miranda lifted her coffee and took a sip, her attention fixed on Aiden across the table. She listened with clear interest, her eyes full of approval.She didn’t notice the tall figure walking in through the door.Then a low voice sounded beside her.“Aren’t you going to introduce me?”Miranda looked up in surprise.“Weren’t you heading to the airport?”“I was passing by. I came in to grab a coffee.”Behind him, Gavin immediately caught on and headed to the counter to place an order.Felix’s gaze shifted to Aiden, his expression calm but unmistakably assessing.Miranda sensed the pressure in the air and frowned slightly.“This is Aiden Adams,” she said, gesturing toward him. “He’s Dr. Raymond Adams’s great-nephew.”Then she turned to Aiden.“This is Felix Gibson, CEO of Gibson Corporation.”Aiden recognized Felix at once. He quickly stood.“Mr. Gibson. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”Felix looked the younger man over. Aiden was bright-eyed and fresh-faced,

At the checkout, Miranda began placing her items on the counter.“Let’s put everything on one bill,” Felix said.Before she could answer, he had already taken out his phone to pay.“I’ll pay for my own things,” Miranda said, stopping him.“It’s only a few groceries.”“I said I’ll pay for my own things.”Her tone made it clear she wasn’t going to argue about it.Just then, Felix’s phone rang.He glanced at the screen, then looked at Miranda.“I need to take this. Would you mind checking out the rest of these?”His body wash and a small pack of whiskey bottles were still in the cart.Miranda nodded. “That’s fine.”Felix stepped away from the checkout area and moved to a quieter corner to take the call.When Miranda finished paying, she pushed the cart aside. Felix returned just as she was gathering the bags.“I’ve got it,” he said, taking the cart from her.Miranda did not object.As they walked through the store, Felix glanced at her.“How’s Mia doing at school?”“She’

As the elevator doors closed on the twenty-seventh floor, Felix said, “Thank you.”Miranda watched the doors slide shut.His apology and the way he had backed off hadn’t gone unnoticed. Part of her had been moved by it.But too much had happened between them. Some damage couldn’t simply be undone.The love she had once felt for him, the warmth, the hope, and the part of her that had kept waiting for him had all faded long ago.They could be friends. They could be co-parents. They could even be business partners, with him as an investor in her work.But they could never be husband and wife again.When Miranda got home, she told Mrs. Young not to make lunch for her, then went upstairs to work.At eleven-thirty, James texted to say he was outside.Miranda headed downstairs, still thinking about work, when she spotted a familiar woman walking toward her.It was Mrs. Lincoln, Leo’s mother.Miranda was about to say hello, but Mrs. Lincoln walked right past her as though she hadn’t

Miranda’s suddenly serious expression caught Felix off guard.Then he stepped aside and opened the door wider.“Come in. Let’s talk.”Miranda hesitated for a moment before walking into his apartment.The living room was spacious and bright, with sunlight streaming in through the windows. Even so, it felt cold and impersonal, as though no one truly lived there.Felix set the medicine on the coffee table and went to get her something to drink.“Coffee, tea, or water?”“Coffee,” Miranda said. She needed to keep a clear head for this conversation.Felix returned with a mug of coffee for her and a glass of water for himself.After sitting down, he looked at her quietly and waited for her to speak first.Miranda took a sip of coffee and gathered her thoughts.“There are some things I think we need to be clear about. It would be better for both of us. Or maybe more importantly, for you.”Felix frowned slightly. He seemed to understand where this was going, but he nodded anyway.“
