All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1511 - Chapter 1520

Just then, Felix reached over and took her bag.At the same time, he offered her his arm.“Need some help?”Miranda was about to say no, but she held back the refusal.Then she reached out and took his arm for support.The simple gesture made Felix’s heart jolt.A second later, overwhelming joy filled his chest.He tightened his arm slightly.At that moment, he didn’t care at all whether they were going to be late. He only wished the walk to his car could be a little longer.Unfortunately, the car was barely fifty feet away.They reached it in no time.Felix opened the door for her like a gentleman. As Miranda bent down to get in, his hand lifted at just the right moment to shield her head from the doorframe.Then he handed her bag in as well.Miranda reached out to take it and glanced at the time.It was almost seven.By now, the sky had already darkened, and the city lights were beginning to glow.Felix started the car and drove into the night.Miranda thought Felix

That reply made Felix laugh in exasperation.There was a hint of helplessness in his voice when he asked, “Do we really have to keep score like this between us?”Miranda pressed her lips together.It wasn’t that he needed the money. She knew he didn’t. But she couldn’t just accept his kindness as if it were something she was entitled to.It was a habit she had developed over the past three years. No matter what happened, her first instinct was always to draw a clear line.“It’s not about keeping score,” Miranda said, her voice clear but firm. “I just don’t want you paying for my gift. It’s for Grandma’s birthday, after all.”Felix took two steps toward her, closing the distance between them.He was tall, and the light behind him cast a faint shadow over her.“Do we really have to draw such a clear line between us?” he asked, his voice lower than before.Miranda looked up into his eyes and couldn’t find a reason to argue.Still, using his gift as her own really didn’t feel rig

Over the weekend, Miranda prepared for the trip.She bought sunscreen for Mia and packed plenty for herself too. A summer trip to the beach always made her feel as if she needed to bring every kind of sun protection possible before she could relax.Mia was excited too.She packed her own little travel bag with her favorite dresses, and Miranda was happy to let Mia experience the fun of packing for herself.Felix was busy over the next two days. He had several things to take care of before the trip.At nine thirty on Tuesday morning, Felix’s private plane was ready.Mia was practically bouncing with excitement.Sienna wore a casual maxi dress, while Felix was dressed simply in a white polo shirt and dark casual pants. He looked relaxed and vacation-ready as he stood beside the boarding stairs, speaking with the pilot.A little later, Gavin and three of Zac’s men arrived as well.The flight wasn’t long. It was smooth the whole way, and two hours later, they arrived at the island

The pool extended from the terrace on the first floor of the villa and connected to the indoor living area through a set of floor-to-ceiling glass doors.The clear water shimmered under the afternoon sun, and Mia was already in the pool with a float around her waist, splashing happily.“Daddy! Mommy! You’re here!” she called out excitedly when she saw both of them appear together.A flash of surprise crossed Sienna’s eyes too.A month ago, she would never have dared to imagine a scene like this.Now, she felt the thing she had been hoping for might really have a chance.Felix tossed his towel onto a lounge chair, walked to the edge of the pool, and dove straight in with clean, effortless movements.Water splashed up around him.In the blink of an eye, he had already swum underwater for a short distance. When he surfaced beside Mia, water slid down his short hair and face.“Daddy, you’re amazing!” Mia clapped her hands in admiration.Felix wiped the water from his face and loo

But too much time had passed.Everything had changed.Answering whether she liked it or not no longer seemed to have any meaning.Besides, that tattoo had once been a symbol that caused her unbearable pain.The pool water rippled around them, and the sunlight was almost blinding.But Felix’s gaze stayed fixed on her, as if he were still waiting for an answer. Droplets clung to his thick lashes, making his eyes look even deeper, like a dark sea.“As long as you like it,” Miranda said, lowering her eyes.It was still the same answer.The light in Felix’s eyes dimmed slightly.He heard the avoidance in her voice, but he didn’t press her.He only smiled faintly and answered in a low, clear voice, “I do.”Those two words were quiet but certain.Miranda kept her eyes lowered and stirred the water lightly with her hand.Felix handed her the pool float, then turned and dove back into the water with clean, powerful movements.On the other side of the pool, Sienna was still busy di
