บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: บทที่ 1541 - บทที่ 1550

“James risked himself to save me this time. That’s a huge debt. I need time to think about the right way to thank him, but it definitely won’t be the way you’re implying.”Felix’s eyes brightened at once.“I understand.”He had been overthinking things. He had also been too impatient and pushed her too hard.Inside the elevator, Miranda pressed the button for the twenty-eighth floor.Felix didn’t press the twenty-seventh, so she reached over and pressed it for him.“Do you still have any sleeping pills at home?” Felix suddenly asked. “Give me another pack.”Miranda turned to look at him, surprise flashing in her eyes.“You finished the ones I gave you last time?”A faint smile flickered in Felix’s eyes.“What? Is that a problem?”“You should stop taking sleeping pills and go see a doctor instead,” Miranda said seriously. “Your condition is clearly worse than I thought. I told you before, you can’t overuse sleeping pills.”She really wasn’t joking.Was this man treating sle

Mia nodded obediently and went back to playing.Felix poured Miranda a glass of water.Miranda happened to be thirsty, so she took it from him.“Thank you.”Felix’s gaze rested on her.“Miranda, research is meaningful work. It’s important work. Don’t feel guilty just because you can’t always be by Mia’s side.”Miranda froze.Felix continued, “She may not fully understand it now, but as she grows up, she’ll realize that her mom is doing something truly remarkable.”Miranda hadn’t expected him to see through her so easily.But his words did comfort her.“One day, she’ll be proud of you,” Felix said. “And you’ll become one of the most valuable examples she has as she grows up.”Miranda was stunned again.His words carried encouragement and strength. More than that, they gave her a sense of support she had not expected.All this time, she had been trying to find a balance between her career and her role as a mother. Sometimes, when too much of her time went into work, she felt

“There’s nothing I can’t say.” Felix’s gaze darkened slightly. “The reason isn’t complicated.”Miranda looked back at him.Felix leaned forward a little, bringing his eyes level with hers.His deep gaze locked on her as he said, word by word, “It was because of you.”Miranda froze.Her fingers tightened unconsciously around the glass.She hadn’t expected him to say it so directly.But she didn’t think it had anything to do with her.Felix seemed to realize that his words had put pressure on her.He smiled faintly.“But it wasn’t your fault. I was under too much stress at the time. I wasn’t sleeping well, and I didn’t take care of myself. That’s all.”Felix took a sip of water, his throat moving slightly.“The day you were kidnapped, Mike got to you in time. He took a knife for you and protected you. You were crying, begging me to save him. I carried you into the car and took you to his side. And in that moment…”His hand on the table clenched into a fist without him realiz

The other colleague sighed.“You’re one of the core specialists on our team. What a waste. Once you leave and stay home, who knows when you’ll be able to return to the workforce?”“Who knows?” the woman said. “Sometimes I wonder why women are always the ones forced to choose between family and career. The most unfair part is that it’s always the woman’s career that gets sacrificed.”“Exactly. It’s like a woman’s career is supposed to make way for the family and the kids. Why can’t the man quit his job and take care of the children instead? If my husband were willing to stay home with the kids, I wouldn’t have to give up my career.”“For women, trying to balance family and career is just too hard.”Miranda stood around the corner, her emotions suddenly complicated.Felix had been helping her a lot lately, especially when it came to taking care of Mia.Because she had been so busy with the lab, she had rarely thought about it deeply. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she had simp

He had still been too impulsive.He had clearly told himself to take things slowly.But just now, watching her with her eyes closed, looking so vulnerable with that faint shimmer of moisture at the corner of her eyes, the rationality and self-control he had always been so proud of had crumbled in an instant.He had only wanted to be closer to her.To touch her.Even if it was just for a second.Now, he almost regretted not looking more carefully.Why hadn’t he checked?Had there still been disgust in her eyes?Resistance?Felix knew every shift in Miranda’s feelings toward him.Before the divorce, there had been disgust. Rejection.After the divorce, there had been hatred.Then, about a year ago, her gaze had finally grown calm. There had been no hatred, no resentment, only complete indifference.And that expression had terrified him more than hatred ever could.It was as if he had been completely shut out of her world.After they cleared up the misunderstandings betwee
